Story
Ariel was one of the many street dogs that Rome Texas every day. She was found by one of our Texas volunteers who was taking another dog to the vet for us the morning. Ariel was about to cross into a busy street. She was extremely malnourished and had what looks to be a tire Mark, or grease down the back of her spine. They said when they picked her up, she felt like she had bubble wrap around her.   We got her in to see a vet immediately where they confirmed that she had been tossed around by a car at least once. The bubbles under her skin with air that was released from her chest cavity. Thankfully, nothing was broken and all she needed was some TLC and crate rest.   We thought that was the end and she could be on her way to healing. We got her in to get spayed where we learned that she had pyometra, which is an infection in the uterus caused by multiple heat cycles in a dog. Basically because she had not been spayed early enough, her body had an infection.   we got her spayed and saved her life at the same time. This is why we encourage everyone to spay and neuter your pets.   Ariel is about three years old she loves to cuddle. Ariel does take a day or two to adjust to new dogs, but she is dog friendly. She prefers to be under the blankets with her human. Ariel is crate, trained and potty trained. She has had interactions with cats and does fine. She has no reactivity. Ariel is looking for a confirmed Adopter before she is able to be transported to us in Colorado.  ##2149379##

Story
Bug is a 1 year old Rat Terrier weighing about 12lbs.  Bug came to us after being found as a stray about 9 months ago in New Mexico.  Nobody came for her and she was set for euthanasia at an overwhelmed shelter.   When Bug came to us we took her to get fixed as we do with every pup before adoption.  The clinic vet identified a murmur in Bugs heart and recommended getting it checked before putting her under.  Our Cardiologist discovered that Bug has a birth defect in her heart.  We have also started to realize that she may have a little bit of neuro irregularities.  She is a unique, adorable little girl to say the least.  Right now there is not much that can be done other than some daily meds she is on.  She is the sweetest girl in the whole world and this heart defect has turned everybody away from giving her a forever family.  She loves to play and snuggle up as close as possible with her foster dad.  Bug's future is uncertain right now.  She may live a looooong happy life, or her life may be cut short due to her heart.  There is no way to tell.  What we do know is that despite Bug being different she deserves all the love and a forever family of her own just like every dog does. If you are interested in adopting this sweetk girl, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2140685##

Story
Ive is a very sweet little girl who will bond quickly and follow you everywhere you go! She is very active but loves to sleep a lot as well. She is great about using the doggy door at her foster home and appears to be completely housebroken. She gets along great with other dogs and everyone she's met, but we haven't tested her with cats (we think she'd be fine). We have taken care of all of her medical needs and all she wants is a soft place to land for the rest of her life. Note: her actual age is unknown as she was transferred from a shelter to our rescue - and was left in the "drop box" at the shelter with no information. She could be 10-12 years.
