Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Phoebe is a 2 1/2 year Shorkie Poo who needs a new home! Phoebe is a fantastic little dog who is only being given up due to changes in the family’s circumstances who have to move out of state and cannot take her with them. Phoebe will still need to be scheduled for a spay which we will arrange soonest at one of our preferred vets.   She is a rescue dog dream! She is house trained, and crate trained! She even has no problem going in/out her crate when the door is open. At only 13 pounds Phoebe is a lovable little girl who has not really had a lot of interaction with other dogs or men so is skittish and shy of both. Her previous owners have verified that she is housetrained and crate trained, and actually has no problem in her crate when left alone. Please apply for her at 4luckydogs.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 19, 2024, 6:06 pm

Story
PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BELOW THE ANIMAL PROFILE! Our prince was found as a stray. Hes about 8 years old and was found in DEPLORABLE condition. Foster mama says: Prince is very smart! He has learned to navigate the apartment without sight and has not bumped into anything since the first day (Or when his forgetful foster mom forgets to move the laundry hamper at the end of the night... Whoops! Sorry buddy.) He is also a wonderful companion animal. He loves to be next to you or near you on the couch or the bed while you are working or relaxing. He is so sweet and just loves nuzzling in fuzzy blankets. Prince would be a great companion for a retired couple, single person or family with older children. I would say younger ones might not be great because he still really doesn't like it when things go over his neck. And he will show you with a gentle bite (not hard and will not break skin, but his noise might be startling to some potential adopters. He would be great for someone who is worried about a dog running and not being able to chase him. This boy is not going anywhere! Haha We go outside and he likes to nose around the same ten feet, smell the grass, take his time sniffing everything and then toddles back inside. He is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is going blind and deaf. History: He was completely and utterly matted, he had MAGGOTS in his eyes. What did he do to deserve this fate? It completely breaks our hearts as he is giving kisses to his foster mom and truly being the most perfect boy. He deserves the world. Are you meant to be his family?

Story
My dog is loyal and I’ve had her on/off for since 2014. She was a gift for a 14 y/o girl whom grew up, married, and decided to become Muslim and can’t keep dogs. AhChoo is very well mannered and trained for service. I hate to give her up, but she need a new caring home because I have expired my time with her. Tears!
