Hi there! My name is Zariah, and I’m a happy, bouncy bundle of energy looking for my forever family! I’m sweet, playful, and full of love, but I’ll admit—I’m also a bit of a handful! I’ve got a lot of enthusiasm for life, and I’m searching for someone who can match my energy and guide me with patience and firm boundaries. I already know how to sit (though sometimes I need a little convincing), and I take treats gently. I love toys, especially when they’re tossed for me to chase! If you pet me while I have a toy, I’m happy to let it go—I’m not one for keeping things to myself. I’m also very people-oriented and adore attention, but sometimes I get a little too excited and might jump up to say hello. The good news? If you stay calm and ignore me, I settle down quickly. Since I’m still learning my manners, I need a home where my people will be dedicated to training me. I do pull on the leash, so some work on walking nicely would be great. A fenced-in yard where I can run off some of my zoomies would be a dream come true! I’ve got so much love to give, and with the right guidance, I’ll grow into the best companion you could ask for. If you’re looking for an affectionate, high-spirited pup to keep you on your toes and fill your days with joy, I just might be your perfect match. Come meet me—let’s see if we’re meant to be!

I`m Coral and I am ready to be your favorite gal! Plus, my adoption fee has been completely SPONSORED! I know how to sit, and I`m always ready for an adventure. I`m a loving girl who loves to cuddle and play. I`m also very food motivated, so I`ll do anything for a tasty treat! I`m looking for a loving home where I can be someone`s best friend and I would do best with an experienced dog owner, in a home without any cats. If you`re looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who will bring joy to your life, I`m the perfect dog for you!

Hiya, I’m Wednesday and I am a very adorable 3 month old pup! I am looking for a home that can help me with my special needs. I was born with a deformity in my spine and because of that, I will have lifelong incontinence. Incontinence in dogs can be a challenging condition for both pets and owners. However, with the right care, it is possible to manage the situation and maintain a good quality of life for a puppy like me!Outside of that, I am a very active and happy dog! I can be a little mouthy and demanding at times, so I`ll need someone experienced with a dog like me. I am a very smart girl and I learn quick! I would be best in a home without young kids due to my incontinence and behavior, but I think it could be a great companion for the right person!I`m currently staying in a foster home, so if you`re interested in meeting me please contact info@tailshumanesociety.org for more information and to setup a time to meet me! Please understand that because of my extra needs, the staff at Tails will need to make sure you`re a good potential home for me before setting up a time to meet. ** This will be a lifelong condition that will not improve and will require daily management. Wednesday leaks urine and feces throughout the day as well as when sleeping, however some manual stimulation is required and crucial, especially after eating, drinking, and waking up. A supervisor will demonstrate the day-to-day care needed for Wednesday.

Story
Hi there, I’m Mara, a sweet senior girl who’s searching for my forever home! I was found as a stray, and I’m already showing everyone just how amazing I am. I’m playful, friendly, and love to interact with people. My days are filled with fun, whether I’m playing with toys or showing off my skills like `sit,` `down,` `paw,` and maybe even a `rollover` if you’re lucky! I do have a bit of a quirky side, though. When I’m on a leash, I can get a little excited and might even try to walk myself on the leash– it’s just part of my playful nature! I’m pretty easy to handle and enjoy the company of people, so I think we’ll get along just fine! I may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you – I still have plenty of energy and love to share. I’d love to spend my golden years with someone who will appreciate my sweet and playful personality. Could that be you? Come meet me soon and let’s see if we’re the perfect match for each other!
