Story
Please contact Paula (pjstoppler@msn.com) for more information about this pet.Taz is a tiny little guy, only weighs 7 pounds, is timid when he meets new people.  He's a 6 year old Chihuahua, and he and his brother recently arrived in rescue and would really like to be adopted together.  Check out Percy's bio.  Both dogs are playful and energetic and will need a fenced yard because they are 'adventuresome'.   The brothers are 6 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  If you would like to complete our Adoption Application, please do so!

Story
Please contact Paula (pjstoppler@msn.com) for more information about this pet.This adorable little girl arrived in rescue with her housemate (Maggoie Mae, a Papillon mix) and the two little girls would love to be adopted together.  They have experienced a dreadful few months;the loss of their beloved elderly owners.  Myrtle Mae is a very sweet and cuddle girl.  She loves squeeky toys, and has been known to steal them from her housemate and hide them.  Both pups love to go for walks; they lived on the coast and would get so excited when 'the beach' was mentioned; they loved walking on the sandy shore.  We'd like to adopt the two together, but that may not be possible.  Maybe it is. Do you have room in your home for these two Adorables?  They are fixed, current on their vaccinations, microchipped and ready to relocate.  If you would like to complete our Adoption Application, please do so!

Story
Once you meet Arlo he might seem a little intimidating with his big barks, but I swear he won’t hurt you. He’s just a shy fella and scared of everyone for some reason. But once he gets to know you he is such a love bug and such a silly boy and he’s super smart and knows more than the average commands. He’s not fixed and he would definitely benefit being fixed since he is hyper most of the time. I wish we could keep him. It’s just sad. If you would like to know more about him and the story. Please contact me anytime. And please give him a chance even though he is a rough pup.
