Story
***REQUIREMENTS - canine companion***Meet Marilyn, a bright and curious ~20 lb Bichon Frise mix. Marilyn came from an unfortunate breeding situation where she was overbred and shows the signs of her years of neglect. Despite that, she's incredibly curious and wants to know everything about everything in her new foster environment. She's quickly learning that human touch can be pretty great and has started asking for attention when she wants it. She gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home and is looking for a forever home with at least one other canine companion. Because she's not used to being alone, she does have separation anxiety and does better in a crate when foster mom is gone and does well in there. She's working hard on potty training and making a lot of progress. Things she's discovered since being rescued -* Zoomies* Meal time is dance worthy* Running around in the fenced in backyard is pretty great* Sunning herself when it's nice outside* Rubbing herself against the crates is probably her favorite activity and is a nightly routine* Asking for pets results in pets, which is pretty coolTo see what else Marilyn discovers as she gets more comfortable, watch for stories, pictures and videos about her on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet Marilyn today!!Adoption fee: $500All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Meet sweet little Harbor, momma of the litter sponsored by Boone and Crockett. She's a lean, mean, kissing machine! Although it take a little for her to warm up, once she does she is very affectionate and snuggles into foster mom and gives kisses whenever she's picked up. She's a very good girl that's working hard on potty training and is quiet and well behaved in her crate when foster mom is gone and overnight. In true chihuahua fashion, she like to let foster mom know when there's something too close to her territory outside but has been mostly quiet when inside. Although Harbor is dog friendly and lives with other dogs, she hasn't shown much interest in playing yet and would do well as an only dog. Please check back for updates as my foster family gets to know me. You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $500All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
***REQUIREMENTS - canine companion, no cats******Apartments not recommended***Meet Agatha, a 25 lb Boston Terrier mix! She came from an unfortunate breeding situation and has both physical and emotional scars from it, but she craves love and affection from her human and dog friends. She gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home and is looking for a forever home with at least one other canine companion. Because she's not used to being alone, she does have separation anxiety and will express her unhappiness through song - as a result, apartments are not recommended. She's working hard on potty training, loves snuggles, and is starting to show a very silly side. Things she's discovered since being rescued -* Toys are pretty neat* Writhing around and army crawling through the grass is her very favorite thing to do* She doesn't have to cower every time a human moves because some of them are nice* TREATS TREATS TREATS!!!* Riding in the car isn't as scary as it used to be, but it's still not her favorite* It's fun to run full speed around the fenced in yard* Snuggles are the best way to spend down time, preferably snuggling both her human and dog friends at the same time* Snow isn't too bad* Playing with other dogs is possible if you approach them rightIf you're looking for an adorable squishy-faced companion to shower with love, Agatha might be the right fit for you!You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $500All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
This handsome hunk of a guy is looking for his furever home where he is loved beyond belief for being the sweetest, snuggliest, and "lovingest" boy! Duke was let down by his first family, so he needs a family who promises never to let him down again! He's been in his foster home for several months and I cannot ever imagine how or why anyone would let this guy go! He's loved everyone he's met and has been great with his foster fur siblings and absolutely loves snuggling with them, and he's great with cats. He would love to be in a family where he had a fur sibling to play with and keep each other company, and a yard for him to play in, or just take in the sunshine. He is potty trained, crate trained but definitely doesn't need to be crated. He loves to go for long walks, play fetch with toys and tennis balls, but I think his most favorite thing is snuggling and sleeping on his people or cuddling with his foster siblings. So, if you're looking for an adorable, loving, and playful big guy who doesn't realize how large he is and doesn't have any idea about personal space when it's time for a nap, you have to meet Duke!You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $400All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.
