Tess is fully vetted, spayed and 2 to 3 years old. She is in a wonderful foster home with some of her friends from her old place and with a couple of her foster mom’s dogs and doing just wonderful. This sweet loving pup needs a home to call her own that is not overwhelmed and over crowded with other dogs. Such situations lack the time and attention every dog deserves. Tess is going to make an awesome companion for any family. Especially little dog loving families. She is dang near perfect. Personality: Tess is goofy, energetic, and playful! She loves to snuggle up on the end of the couch for long naps. She is soooooo ready to be your new best friend and would love a home where she can grow to be a wonderful life long family friend. Once adopted Tess will travel via the Rescue Transport to her new family. They travel each weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the northeast, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185.

Story
Hei-Hei is 4yrs old loves to cuddle and loves any hard chew ball. Can be stubborn sometimes, but such a sweetheart. He's scared of big dogs but used to small dogs. He gets along with puppies. He's never been around cats. Chases birds and squirrels. He's good at keeping mice away lol. Loves treats and his chest rubbed. Hei-Hei is a big baby when it comes to baths. He stays calm and wants to hold your hand the whole time and loves being held rolled up in a warm towel. He loves walks and being outside. He's still very active and would love someone to burn energy with him. Sensitive with his nails and snores. His name is pronounced hay-hay like the chicken from Moana. He needs a loving family who can spoil him with attention, and he loves to play.

Story
Hi! I'm Lilly and I am a spunky seasoned girl who is a lover of food, naps and butt scratches. I'm 14 years old and I love to explore outside almost as much as I love to sleep. Soft fabrics are my kryptonite and I must sits on it. What can I say?-comfort is a girls best friend. Thunderstorms and light flashes can be scary and I get anxious. Other dogs can also make me anxious or fearful but with patience and time I do warm up to them within a few days. Since we're on the topic of anxiety surprising me from behind, people riding bicycles, and vacuums also make me anxious. Everyone has an insecurity, and mine is an extra knot on my knee that doesn't impact my movements. I know how to sit, lay and stay..well sometimes.. My parents have welcomed a new tiny human that cries and demands attention. They are unable to pour into me the time and love they want to and are looking to help find me a home that can give me the love and attention deserved. They love me and this is tough on all of us
