Story
Does your dog need a dog?!  Feel guilty about your dog being home all day alone?! Lucy maybe just what your dog needs! Lucy is a sweet shy girl. She prefers a quiet home & will warm up rather quickly once she trusts you.  She does great with other dogs and is fine with cats. Lucy has mastered the art of sleeping quietly in her crate at night but is trust worthy out of  her crate as well. Except socks, she loves to eat socks. She is house trained but will also use wee wee pads if preferred.  Lucy is an absolute thorn in my side! She will come sit with you to be pet and will gently give you a little kiss. She is also will take a treat so sweetly out of your hand.  Then there is her quirky side. We honestly don't know what happened to this girl but she will retreat to her crate if anyone stands or walks near her.  She requires a fenced yard as, try as I may, this girl will not walk on a leash. Again, if you stand or walk she runs to her safe place.  I wouldn't say Lucy is a couch potato but she is now a super active puppy either. Definitely not you typical Jack Russell!  Lucy will need a person or people with a bit of extra patience! All the hard work is done but quirky is and understatement when describing Lucy!  Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Currently due to COVID we are unable to accommodate out of state adoptions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 7:11 pm

Story
Cassio is 1 of 9 puppies found in a culvert pipe and rescued in 2023.  One puppy didn't make it, the remaining 8 came to our rescue. One was as adorable as the next.  Cassio is estimated to be about 1.5years old as of January 10, 2025.  He's microchipped and up to date on age appropriate core vaccines and neutered.  We have no information on parents and as such can't guarantee size. Would do best as an only dog! (but would consider the right dog companion, he still gets along with most of his doggie housemates.) Cassio gets along with all dogs in public and for playdates, LOVES to play with other dogs, but seems to prefer his home and his people to himself (He tried going to a home with a very sweet dog but was very dominant and territorial). If Cassio finds a dog he can live with, he would need to be fed separately as he food guards. Cassio is the largest of the litter, about75lbs. Cassio is an energetic guy, he displays working dog behaviors and needs an active family, and REQUIRES a completely fenced in yard. New home MUST have adequate space considering his breed (American English Coonhound, adopted brother was DNA tested). Cassio can be a vocal guy and if he wants something, will let you know, therefore no shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc). He is house trained, crate trained and sleeps through the night. Cassio is extremely loving and always excited to see new people and dogs on walks. He is being fostered with numerous small dogs who he has been with since 2.5 months old and gets along with and respects all of them. He seems to prefer play with smaller dogs and is sometimes cautious with dogs bigger than him. Cassio has met a cat before and was respectful towards the kitty and eventually lost interest. Although Cassio tries to remember his manners, he doesn't know his size and is too jumpy for small children.    Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 10, 2025, 10:48 am

This little sweetheart is as affectionate.as they come. She hasn't met a person she didn't like, she's been great with all the fosters and dogs she's met so far. At a petite 9 pounds, she may not take up alot of room in your home but she'll surely take up considerable room in your heart. Alondra has become very bonded with Louetta and we would like to find a home for them together.  Alondra is spayed, up to date on core vaccines and microchipped.

Story
  Mila is a petite little pittie weighing about 40 pounds and estimated to be about 3 years old. She was pulled from a local shelter and is an absolute sweetheart. Mila loves people. She's comfortable in her crate when you're not at home and just loves being by your side when you are at home. Mila would be best in a home with a single companion animal who matches her temperament or as an only dog. She seems to mirror the other dog, if the dog approaches calmly, Mila responds calmly. If a dog approaches reactive, Mila will react is the feedback we received from the shelter. While in foster care she has need fine with the dogs she's met as well as the foster family cat. Mila will be available to go a a forever home after she's spayed. She's up to date on core vaccines and microchipped.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 7:11 pm
