Story
Meet Pedro!! Pedro came into the shelter in Tennessee. He was a stray who nobody ever came back to claim. This poor guy started to wonder if he would ever get out of the shelter. Fetching Hearts Rescue found out about him and said he needed to come to us, so he could find a forever home!! Pedro is an active boy who loves his humans and doggie friends. He enjoys running around in the fenced yard with them. Pedro would enjoy going on hikes and exploring the outdoors with his humans. Pedro is working on his leash skills and is getting better, but can be a bit strong sometimes. Pedro would love to go to training classes with his humans to learn some basic commands. This will only make him better than he already is. Pedro is such a happy guy and will always greet you with a smile, wagging tail and a wiggly butt. He has such an awesome personality!!! He absolutely loves to cuddle and get lots of attention from his humans. Pedro will make an awesome family member. Also, please make sure to have toys and bones for Pedro as he absolutely loves them.

Story
Meet Almond Almond's mama was left behind when her family moved. Left in the yard of her “home.” She stayed in the yard according to the neighbors waiting for them to return. But they didn’t. She wasn’t spayed and got pregnant. Still, she waited with her babies in a drainpipe. We rescued them before the rains came. They would have drowned. They are ready for forever homes! The Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue adoption donation is $595.00. This includes: spay/neuter (at our vet), vaccines (dhpp, bordetella, rabies), microchip, health certificate, fecal test and our dogs are on preventatives for fleas/ticks/heartworm.

Story
Champ is a handsome one-year-old, 48 lb. Basenji mix with gentle brown eyes, a soft coat, and an irresistible smile. Abandoned by his previous family in June while they moved, Champ spent an hour at the shelter door, crying for their return. The pain of that abandonment hit him hard, leaving him terrified and struggling. As he grappled with depression and kennel reactivity, we knew we had to save him and give Champ a fresh start. That’s when he took a life-changing freedom flight from North Carolina to Connecticut, ready to find his true furever family. Though Champ has faced hardships, his spirit shines brightly. With time, patience, and love, he has transformed into a lovable cuddle buddy who adores making friends, both two and four-legged. He previously lived with children as well so he’s an ideal family dog! Champ’s playful personality and charming demeanor make him a social butterfly, always eager to join in on the fun. He absolutely loves toys and is learning to fetch, often inviting you to play by dropping a toy in your lap. As a young pup who never had the benefit of structure or training, Champ is looking for someone to help him learn the basics. He’s very smart, food motivated, housetrained, and is working hard on leash manners. Champ thrives in the company of other dogs so he'd prefer to go to a home with a furry sibling and must have a fenced yard where he can run off his energy. If you’re ready to give Champ the love he deserves, you’ll gain a loyal companion who will fill your life with joy and adventure. His adoption fee is $400 and Champ is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.
