Story
We are sadly looking to re-home Ruthie, our beautiful, cuddly lapdog whose loud, ridiculous tail wags always bring a smile. We are heartbroken, but it’s become clear that she shouldn’t be in a home with a toddler or another dog. Ruthie is incredibly sweet and absolutely LOVES attention from adults- she is just too unpredictable to be around small children and unfortunately struggles with resource guarding around our older dog. She may do much better with older kiddos who are good with boundaries and have the energy to keep her busy. Ruthie is a big girl (70 pounds) but doesn’t know it and loves getting into our laps for pets. She is a huge fan of playing fetch outside but doesn’t really care for walks (very low maintenance lady!). Please reach out if you or anyone you know might be able to provide a more Ruthie-friendly home. We adore this girl and know she can thrive away from the stresses of having a little brother and a big sister to compete with.

Story
His previous owner was in the military and she was getting stationed elsewhere and was unable to take him so I took him in when he was 1. I got him neutered and microchipped. He currently is 6 and will be 7 on July 1st. I am looking for a new home for him because I recently had a baby and I am unable to give him the time I once did. He also does not get along with my one year old. He likes to cuddle. He likes to play with plushies and gets the zoomies when hes able to run outside. I think he should be in a home without children so he can thrive. He is very protective of his owner and obedient.

I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here. She is a frisky, busy miss seeking an adventurous family to join and have a blast with. Meo adores hanging with people and she really LOVES getting exercise. If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job. FYI, Meo will do best as the only dog in your home, but she`s more than up to being the sole source of your affection, She also loves getting great meals (and she needs some as she arrived as a skinny stray) and oodles of love. Ready for a great new friend to go on long walks with? Meo is SUPER ready for you.Check out Meo`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyE8WSXxNGU

I`m in a FOSTER HOME! If you would like to set up a time to meet with me, please email my foster parent at mhsg95@gmail.comCheck out her IG @dchomebound for more great pics.My name will ring a bell for many a literature fan and, just as for my literary namesake in Vladimir Nabokov`s novel, things were not always so easy for me. I found myself at the shelter one day with my doggie pal and couldn`t go back to my previous home. I have 5 years of life experience on my resume, so just enough to make a settled and loyal companion. I love people, am house trained and do just fine being at home by myself. I`m an enthusiastic walker (and can get a little too interested in those pesky squirrels). And I can also be particular when making new doggie friends. I would like to enter a wonderful new chapter of my life full of kisses, cuddles, and playtime! And by the way, while I am gentle with children, I would probably do best with school aged kids since I can get excited (overbearing) with giving kisses!And a nice volunteer recently said this about me: `My goodness!! How he no one snatched this sweet lady up already! She is sooooo polite with loose leash walks. Loves some fetch followed by cuddles! Oh and she gives the sweetest, happiest smiles whenever she sees you!`Yup, that sounds exactly like me! I can`t wait to meet you!

Story
I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parent at jssjsmith@comcast.net.Cordelia is an amazing doggie that will bring love and joy into your heart and home. Cordelia is a pretty girl who LOVES to play with other big pups. She is having a blast tumbling with her canine foster buddy and it’s really lots of fun for all. While she is very good with other dogs, she’s not a fan of the felines so a cat-free home is best. Cordelia is also very smart! She’s quickly learned the basics such as “sit” and “come”, and she is ready to learn more. Cordelia is also somewhat of a couch potato. She finds the coziest spots on the furniture and will just snuggle up to take a nap. She is so sweet, and she can be yours! Cordelia has been waiting so patiently for a home. She is a darling charming girl so please meet her soon. You will fall in love!Check out Cordelia`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/63WgDUXlIgU

Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! To meet me, email my foster parent at fosterdogparent22@gmail.com. Paris is a snuggly, playful, easy-going 40-pound middle-aged lady. In her foster home, she`s living with another dog and is potty-trained, crate-trained, and easy to walk.When Paris came to stay with her foster family, she was tired, timid, and very underweight. No one knew exactly how old she was, but her bright eyes and wagging tail told us that there was a playful and loving girl in there. After a bath, lots of yummy food, and plenty of scratches and snuggles, she has transformed into loving a playful lady. Paris has enjoyed learning about her new home and now loves to hop up onto the couch to snuggle with Mommy or play with her foster brother, an Italian Greyhound named Alfie!Paris is an easy-going low-energy girl who likes to know where her people are, but isn`t afraid to relax on her own. On days when Dad is working from home, Paris enjoys nothing better than laying on her bed in the office (and is always ready for a scratch or a snuggle when Dad needs a break from meetings). Paris also enjoys her evening walks with Mom and Dad and Alfie! She loves to play but definitely needs a good nap afterwards.Paris walks beautifully on a leash and doesn`t pull or lunge when she sees another dog. (She will bark if barked at or if someone comes up unexpectedly, but won`t pull or act aggressive.) She does get a bit scared when out and about, so she needs a calm encouraging word and scratch on the head to let her know that she is safe and will be going back home.Paris is potty trained and goes happily into her crate when it`s time for bed. At night and when we go out for short periods (1 hour or so) we leave Paris free to roam. Occasionally she will get up and look for another place to nap, but usually stays where she was when we left. She is not big on exploring and has never tried to find out what dad`s shoes taste like when left unattended! For longer periods we shut her in her crate and have had no problems and usually come home to a sleeping puppy.Paris is a lady that has found her voice...and does bark when she hears people outside or unexpected noises, so probably not ideal for apartment life. She also takes a while to get comfortable around younger kids (under 10- the noise and unpredictability unnerve her) but warms up quickly to everyone else. Paris is still a bit unsure about stairs and is making progress each
