Story

1 year old (estimated) Spayed female 53 lbs. Has done well with other dogs Looking for a home with children 14 years or older No known experience with cats I'm a fun-loving, energetic girl who’s bursting with excitement for life! I have so much energy I sometimes don’t know what to do with it, but I promise I’m eager to learn and get better with a little patience—and some tasty treats as rewards! I absolutely love running, playing with toys, and keeping busy with my favorite peanut butter Kongs. Once I’ve burned off my energy, all I want is to be close to you, snuggling up like the big lap dog I secretly think I am. I’ve done well meeting other dogs, though I can be a bit much for calmer pups. I’m working on my leash manners, but I do know how to sit! If you’re ready for a best friend who will learn and grow with you, I’d love to meet you! I have been waiting a while to find my home so my adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take me home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.January 5, 2025, 4:32 pm

Story

Meet Carmy! Age: Adult Weight: 50 pounds Housetrained: yes Crate trained: I don't do well in crates and the stress of being in one makes my tummy upset. Good with: Dogs, cats, kids (I love the kiddos!) Special needs: I have separation anxiety, so I take meds to help me feel better I'm a super happy and energetic boy and I love my humans so much! My favorite thing ever is to be outside with you – whether we are going for a walk around the neighborhood, a hike in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. An active forever family would be so much fun! I like to play tug of war, chew on bones, solve brain games, and shake my favorite stuffies. I am super smart (maybe a little too smart sometimes), so I love to learn new tricks for treat rewards. I'd enjoy having other furry friends in my forever home, so I don’t get too lonely when you are gone. I love to wrestle and chase my dog friends and I like to cuddle with my cat friends (if they let me). Since I have separation anxiety, I'll need my medication and an understanding family that is willing to work with me as I get used to their routine. In my foster home, I am now comfortable being home by myself for up to 8 hours during the daytime, but it took me several weeks to work up to that much time alone without being stressed. I'm a pretty quiet dude, but I do bark and jump up when I get really excited – mostly when we are about to go outside for a walk. I’ve been working on my listening skills when I’m excited or distracted and I am getting better! Treats help :) I’m a big cuddler, but, fair warning, I will take up all your personal space on the couch or bed because I like to snuggle close. I can’t wait to find a forever family that is willing learn and grow with me. I promise to pay you back with lots of love and kisses! Carmy is fostered in the Madison, WI area.

Story

Meet Chariot! Age: Puppy Weight: 14lbs (estimated to be 25-30lbs when grown) Breed: Pittie Mix Good with kids/cats/dogs: lives with dogs and cats (will occasionally chase), kid friendly too House/crate trained: She is able to use the bathroom independently however is not housebroken and wears diapers and hangs out on washable puppy pads on her own. Special needs: Chariot was born with scoliosis and has paralyzed back legs. She has a wheel chair she gets along great in and a drag bag to flop around the house. Chariot was born with a congenital heart defect that her cardiologist does not believe is affecting her. She may require a recheck in a year just to be thorough. Where foster is located: Milwaukee WI Chariot is a friendly and spunky pup who is still just a happy puppy. She is both dog and cat friendly, but will occasionally try to chase the cats in her foster home. She LOVES all the people she has met (all ages) and loves to play just as hard as she naps. She loves all the attention, fuzzy beds and toys that she can find and is looking to be just as spoiled in her forever home. While Chariot is a sweet puppy, she is overcoming some physical challenges. She suffers from scoliosis and this causes her to require a wheelchair (provided to her forever family) or use a drag bag. She is still able to get around and play. Disability experience is not required but dedication is. Her forever family is not only comitting to her cuteness, but also her disability. She will require ongoing care and potentional expenses as she grows. Her family will be so lucky to get to enjoy such a sweet and friendly pup, could you be that family?

Story

Meet Pickles! Age: Senior Weight: 60 lbs Good with: dogs and kids (not cat tested) House trained: yes Crate trained: yes Fostered in: Lake Geneva, WI Special needs: Glucosamine supplement, limited activity while she recovers from HW treatment. Are you looking for a snuggle buddy to keep you warm this winter (and going forward)? Miss Pickles may be the gal for you! Also known by her foster family as “Mama Dilly”, Miss Pickles is a 60 pound Pit Bull mix who is the sweetest, most gentle lovebug you could imagine! Her life got off to a rough start down in Tennessee; she was kept outside on a chain in a small, wooden shack. While there, she sustained some damage to her left eye and developed a large mammary tumor. The kind folks at Animal Control took her into their care, and both her bum eye and tumor were removed. Unfortunately the tumor was deemed to be a moderate to higher grade mast cell tumor. While metastasization in the future is a possibility, she currently is not experiencing any symptoms and is looking forward to living the rest of her life to its fullest! She recently completed heartworm treatment, so she needs to avoid rigorous activity for the next couple of months. After that, she will be ready for some exercise as she could use to lose a few pounds! She has some stiffness in her back legs and takes a glucosamine supplement to help; but that may improve on its own after a bit of weight loss. This sweet girl gets along with dogs of all sizes. Cats are currently unknown. She loves chewing on bones (and sometimes on shoes and blankets!), and her most favorite thing is snuggling on the couch. She is potty trained and never has accidents in the house. She is fine with being crated and sleeps perfectly through the night. If you give this lovely gal a second chance at life, you will not regret it - she will pay you back in love and snuggles!
