Story
Olive came into a shelter down south pregnant and heartworm positive. She was fostered until her babies were born and weaned. Her babies were then transported to a rescue. For whatever reason, Olive didn't get to go with her babies and was taken back to the shelter where she wound up on the EU list. Chewy’s Hope fostered her, and she is a senior girl ready for a quiet retirement. She would do best as an only and with older kids. But whoever adopts her will have a great companion and lovely girl.

Story
Helen, was given to me about a year ago as a puppy. I gave her her name because she's deaf. She's a great dog, smart, is very affectionate and always wanting to play. But I honestly don't have the time nor do I seem to make the time for her. So I think she needs someone or a family that could do that for her. I love her a lot but she deserves better. _I don't have photos of her. But I can definitely get some.

I am spayed and up to date on shots. I am here waiting for someone that wants to be my mom or dad to come adopt me. I am a good girl but I have decided I want to be the only princess in my future home. I’ve had some things happened in the past that made me scared of other dogs and cats. I am house trained and walk great on the leash. I would love an active parent that wants to take me on runs , long walks , hikes and would enjoy my company as much as I will enjoy theirs.At the rescue I’m great with people and people / dog watching is my favorite thing to do from a play yard. This is after I get my much needed exercise and the staff and volunteers take care of me.If you are ok with just me being your ride or die and bff come pick me up. We can even go on a day outing and get to know each other better.Included with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up-to-date on heart-worm and flea/tick preventative, heart-worm test which includes tick disease testing (if over 6 months), 24petwatch microchip with registration, fecal analysis and health check before adoption, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided which will cover the cost.
