Story
Meet Blacky!This sweet female, approximately 3 years old, came to TMAR very shy and scared. She is slowly learning to trust humans again. Blacky would benefit from a quiet home without children that will spoil her and continue to teach her how great people are. Blacky has started to follow her foster parents around the house and willingly accepts a scratch on the head but she still does not seek out cuddles or closer contact. It will take a while longer for her to get over her fears.She mostly ignores the cats in her foster home and does not interact much with the 9-month-old lab puppy living there (much to that dog's dismay…) This cute little lady with short legs is an easy foster guest! She is potty and kennel trained and does not bother chewing on items not meant for her. She has started to occasionally pick a toy out of the “shopping cart” in her foster's home but mostly she loves hanging on HER big pillow. She’s even nice enough to share it with the resident cat!!Blacky comes to life and excitedly wags her tail when it’s time to go outside - and she loves her walks! She has excellent leash manners and is a joy to take for a stroll.Blacky has to always be in a securely fenced area or always on leash as she has no recall once outside and off leash. Her foster mom found this out the hard way when Blacky was able to sneak out the front door when visitors were stopping by. Luckily, she was able to be followed, found and returned to her foster home a few hours later.Blacky is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations.Who would like to share their quiet home with this little cutie who deserves an opportunity to learn to love again?

Story
Miracle is ready for his forever home! He is about 6 months old, neutered and full of love, happiness and utter joy. Miracle loves his humans, loves his dog friends and loves the resident kitties (even if the kitties may not love him!). Miracle sleeps all night in his kennel and is ready to rock and roll when it's time to start the day. His foster momma is working with him on potty training.Miracle is a special boy who needs a special family. Due to a spinal injury, he has limited use of his rear legs. This does not slow him down; he plays, runs, and loves like any other puppy. He will need a family that will continue to work with him on strength training and rehabilitation to get his legs and brain talking again. If you have the time, love and dedication for Miracle, submit an application today!

Finley is an approximately 14-week-old male puppy who gets along with other dogs, it is unknown how he would do with cats. Finley loves to play then go down for a good nap! He goes into his kennel very well and is deciding taking walks isn't such a bad thing! He is a quick learner and has come a long way since being in a foster home after fending for himself at a very young age. With patience and love, he’s going to be a very loyal and loving family member!

Story
Meet Daisy! She is about 50 pounds and around 1.5 years old. Daisy is the ultimate love bug, she adores people, kids and dogs! Daisy is very social and attends doggy daycare 4-5 days a week. She loves to go for car rides, nature walks and is always up for a tasty treat. Daisy loves to watch bunnies and birds from the window, but has quite the prey drive so a home without cats would probably be best. She loves to snuggle and would make the perfect companion. We also believe she would thrive with another dog/pup to play with.
