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.

Story
Coco is a sweet shy 6 lb  but playful gentle puppy of 6 months, she has been spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea/tick treated and vaccinated. Coco seems to be a Rat Terrier/Chi mix, who deserves a loving home where she will be cherished. Coco loves to play with her siblings, would do best in a home in a calm environment. Older kids and if you have another dog, that's good with puppies even better! Cute, sweet and kind this puppy got it all going and is ready for her Furever home now.

Story
Milo was rescued about 8 years ago when my son was in college. He has children and Milo tries to take the toddler’s food and has nipped her when she gives him food. They also have a cat and Milo loves the cat! He is also great with other dogs and all people EXCEPT children. He is nervous around them and anyone who treats him aggressively. I now have Milo and I also have my own senior dog. I take him on little walks with us. He is energetic when appropriate. He’s a darling and happy little guy, but I work full time and don’t want two dogs. He really wants to be with people, and we want that for him too. He doesn’t want to be picked up, but craves to sit on a lap or next to someone who will pet him. He lets me bathe him and he follows directions. He is potty trained.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  Gilda was rescued from the streets of Armenia and being her forever family will be the most rewarding thing for this sweet girl.  Having one eye and a crooked leg doesn’t make her any different and she truly gets by just fine.  She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and truly just wants to get to know you before she gives and receives love. We don’t know how long she was living on the streets but she doesn’t know how to play with toys or other dogs just yet but gets along great being around dogs of all sizes.  Her ideal home is someone with a chill home environment  who she can curl up next to, get some head scratches, and take some nice walks with.  Apply for Gilda at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html   **Gilda is an international rescue**February 3, 2025, 3:50 am
