Story
Missy was adopted from us four years ago and was a loved member of a family, but her mom got very ill and was unable to care for her any longer. So, she is back with us and in the market for a new home! Missy is approx 9 years old now. She has long, lanky legs but only weighs 10lbs. When she initially came to us, she had no socialization and was very nervous. She will likely always be a little shy (especially with men), but she does bond with her family once she is comfortable. Even when Missy is the most scared, she has never been aggressive. She doesn't growl or even snarl, she just tries to hide. She is a sensitive soul and just needs someone to give her some time to adjust to show her true personality. Now, when her foster mom gets home, Missy runs over to greet her with a wagging tail. Missy was always really quiet and mellow with us. She isn't a big cuddler but she likes to be near you. She enjoys perching on the back of the couch and relaxing most of the day. She is happy to just hang out at home and is a really easy girl! She can be left alone for hours without any issues! Missy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She just had bloodwork and a dental so she is good to go! She is also housebroken and crate trained. She isn't super excited about toys or food, but she loves her blankets! She also enjoys walks and does well in the car. Missy gets along with dogs and cats, but would be fine being the only pet. Due to her being nervous, we think a home with no children or hyper/large animals would be best. If you're interested in meeting this sweet senior, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgOctober 22, 2024, 5:04 pm

Story
Loving dog in need of a new home. He loves laying in the sun, cuddling up next you on the couch, and sniffing around the yard. He is fully housebroken and only barks once or twice when someone knocks on the door. He is neutered. He is great on walks but doesn't require them; he has a moderate energy level-- not jumpy or yappy. He is friendly with other dogs and is best buddies with our cat. We have had him for 9 years, starting as college kids and are now a family with babies. You can tell he has had a rough life before us. He doesn't allow anyone except us to pick him up, and is very territorial over food. He will snarl if you make sudden reaches for his belly or his face. We have too many toddlers around to trust that they'll give him the space and slow actions that he needs to feel safe. It takes him a couple of days to get used to new people but is sweet and loyal after that. Ideal home would be a home with no young children and access to a yard/outside area.
