Story
Meet MAYA (Softy) DOB 4/3/2019 Weight 38 lbs Adoption fee $259 (Adoption fee includes the spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate current vaccines, microchip, and preventative flea treatment.) Maya is looking for her soulmate. Someone like her that enjoys the peace of a quiet house, one that doesn’t entertain much and keeps to themselves and perhaps has some property or a large back yard where they can spend their days sun bathing or exploring nature together. Maya seeks a home where she doesn’t have to share her person with other animals or children and with a person that is hopelessly devoted to her as she will be to them. Maya had a previous injury to her pelvis and has a slight limp but that doesn't slow her down! She appreciates her walks in secluded settings, cuddling in a warm bed and most of all bear hugs and belly rubs from her favorite person! She will need slow introductions and will need some patience as she adjusts to her new life, but will be a loyal companion once she’s settled in. Take a chance on Maya and see what true love is! Our adoption process and application can be found at - https://www.sunnyskysshelter.org/our-adoption-process For other questions on our dogs/cats or shelter please send an email to info@sunnyskysshelter.org for information on a meet and greet as well as application procedures.

Story
Lucy is a very loving, affectionate, and attentive companion, without being needy. She lives for her “adventures” (walks, runs, hikes) and is always searching out bunny rabbits as well as any other scent left by all critters. At home she will lounge for a while, ask if it’s time for a walk and rest again if denied, then she’ll make her rounds in the yard and rest again until walk time; she wants to please her human. She is not food motivated, and so doesn’t beg, but is curious with all smells Lucy lived with a cat for a few months and, though she would chase and play, she never made an attempt to hurt the cat. Lucy loves to run and play. Lucy is very good on a leash and will listen to commands as well as being aware of the pace of her tethered human, she has on occasion darted after a squirrel so her human needs to be strong enough to hold her when she forgets her manners. Lucy had a tough life for the first 4 years so she will get defensive if a dog snaps at her. Her first priority at a dog park is to run and play with other dogs, but she will defend herself if a dog is aggressive towards her. She de-escalates when pulled out of a scuffle, and she’s tried to make friends again when it’s over. Lucy needs someone who will be attentive to her as well and can intervene if necessary, or just not take her to an off leash dog park. Lucy loves other dogs but is most at ease as an only dog in her forever home. If you think Lucy would be the perfect fit for your family please complete our adoption application. houstonk911rescue.org/adopt Lucy is located in Houston, Texas.

Story
Welcome Simba to CCPAL Rescue. Simba is a 5.5 month old Whippet/Husky/Shepherd is our best guess. Simba now weighs about 25 pounds and should weigh 30 to 35 pounds full grown. Simba should be a medium sized dog. Simba was in a home and someone was asked to watch him for a week while they were on vacation. The person never came back for Simba. He is good on a leash, good in a crate, good in a car and good with other dogs. He has beautiful blue eyes and wonky ears. They may stand upright at some point but right now they don’t. He is smart, affectionate and willing to take commands and do what you ask. He bonds deeply with his person even if he does like other people he really likes one person. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. His personality is very much like a shepherd with the loving nature or the Whippet. He would do best with someone that doesn’t work all day everyday away from home. He will need to finish up his training and he is very social so he would like to go places and be with his favorite human. He is getting his puppy vaccines and will be also getting neutered soon and will be ready for his forever home. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Mojito - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey all you fabulous people out there, I'm Mojito and I'm here searching for a family, a home...one that I can call my very own!! And since you're reading this I'm hoping maybe just maybe it could be with YOU?!! My name is Mojito but I'm sometimes called Meathead, Dammit, Get Down, Stop That and Mojo. And I answer to all of them!!! My foster mom wants you to know: He is very loving and wants to sit in your lap! I think he will do well with older kids. He will need someone that will be home most of the time. He has learned how to stay in a crate but is not happy about it. He does sleep in a crate at night and usually does well. He also identifies as a cat and loves to climb so he can see everything that goes on. He will get things off the counter if left alone. I didn't have a very good start in life and as a result have some separation anxiety but we have been working really hard and I'm really doing so much better. But my ideal home would be where my person works from home. I'm a youngster yet of around a year old and come in at the top end of the small category of about 25lbs. That is a pawsomely perfect size for...everything! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes, co-piloting errand runs, supervising yardwork, you name it, I'm just right for the job at hand!! Playful and sweet, active and adventurous, I've got some great qualities ready to share with my very own family. I am so ready to be that lil heartbeat at your feet or on your lap! If you're ready for an active lil buddy to share in your life's adventures all you need to do is stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application. You can find it at haydudeequine.org

Please contact Greyhound Pets, Inc. Woodinville (info@greyhoundpetsinc.org) for more information about this pet.PattyTag No: 7037Registered Name: NoneBreed: Whippet MixDate of Birth:  October 30, 2022Color: RedCat Trainable: NoDog Friendly: Yes - See commentsKid Friendly: See commentsWeight:  40 poundsLocation: Foster homeComments: Patty is all about the joy in life.  She is happy, friendly and outgoing, and very much still a puppy.  She is a big cuddler!  Patty will need an active home and one that can give her some guidance in life.  She is eager to learn and please, and learns quickly.  She is a fun, happy girl who loves to play!  Patty plays rough so if she is in a home with another dog the other dog needs to be able to keep up with her.  Patty loves going on walks and adventures.  Patty is strong for her size and will jump when excited.  She loves people - big and small, but if she is around kids they need to be the resilient type that won't be upset about being knocked into/over. December 2024:  Patty has moved to a foster home.  Her foster home reports that she is doing well and is such a happy girl! She is housetrained and is settling into a routine. She's very playful out in the yard and her foster dad's two greyhounds are happy to oblige, but I do need to separate her and one of the greyhounds at times as he can be a little rough with Patty (not that she minds) when he gets fired up. Patty's foster dad crates Patty when he leaves the house.  Behavior wise, if she gets bored she starts looking for things to get into. She's very curious and will find things to chew on or tear up. Her foster dad has been able to redirect her with an appropriate chew toy.  She listens if he tells her to leave something alone, but that doesn't stop her from trying again later. Giving Patty an extra run in the yard, when she starts looking for something to do, settles her down for a while afterwards. If you can tire Patty out a little, she does well and settles down for a nap while her foster dad works at his desk. Patty does well on leash, is eating well, sleeps through the night, and is a big snuggler. Stairs are no problem and her foster dad is teaching her the dog door. She jumps in and out of the car well now, and settles right down in back during rides. She would be happiest with a yard to run around in, or at least some very active people who could take her on several long walks every day. We don't know how she'd do as an only dog, but probably fine as long as she has people and toys to play with, and she gets enough exercise. Patty was a past Dog of the Month!!  Patty: May Dog of the Month - Greyhound Pets, Inc. (greyhoundpetsinc.org) Sponsored by Leopoldo Basañez, in memory of Bea Patty is looking for her own sponsor.  Could that be you?  More info:  https://greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/ Greyhound Pets, Inc. - www.greyhoundpetsinc.org - 877-468-7681 WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT A GREYHOUND?
