Story
**I AM PARTICIPATING IN THE ADOPTION EXTRAVAGANZA!!** Hi there! My name is Sea, and I'm a lovely 10-year-old female Maltese/Poodle mix with a heart full of love and a spirit ready to shine. I haven't had the easiest life before arriving at TNT, but I'm learning to embrace the wonders of being a cherished pet. Every day is a new adventure, and I must say, lounging on the couch is quickly becoming one of my favorite pastimes! I absolutely love other dogs and love playing with them! Although I may be a bit shy at first, I promise that with a little patience and understanding, I will become comfortable in my new home and reward you with endless affection. I'm very adaptable, so there's no need to worry about leaving me alone for a while - I won't chew up your belongings or cause any trouble. I just need a warm, loving environment where I can continue to learn and grow. If you're looking for a gentle, low-key companion who will bring joy and warmth to your home, then I might just be the perfect match for you. Please consider opening your heart and home to me. Apply today to adopt me, and let's start our beautiful journey together. My adoption fee is $100

Story
** Canine companion required **Meet Yoshi, a 9 lb Maltese mix that spent his life being used for breeding. Because of his background, he's extremely shy around people and spends his day snuggled up with other dogs in a secluded area rather than join in the bustle of the household. He also takes his cues from the other dogs in his foster home and will need a canine companion in his forever home to show him the ropes. Yoshi will need a family that's willing to give him extra time and patience to come out of his shell and show him how wonderful life can be as a spoiled pet. He's not ready to be leashed and his family will need a way to let him do his business outside in a fenced in yard or puppy pen until he gets comfortable enough to be walked. If you're willing to take a chance on Yoshi and give him the affection and patience he needs, you'll be rewarded tenfold watching him come out of his shell and find joy and comfort in life. I am still new to rescue, 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: $525All 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
Sebastian turned 8 years old this month. I am elderly and recently moved in with my daughter and her family. They do not like Sabastian and are constantly criticizing him and me. The stress is just becoming more than I can handle. I got him from a breeder when he was 8 weeks old. He is totally up to date on all his shots. He is in excellent health and just needs someone to love him and care for him. I have not been able to totally housebreak him, so he does occasionally soil in the house.
