Story
Hi, I'm Teagan! I'm a little nervous, but I'm hoping to find a kind and patient family who will give me time to feel safe. I might take a little while to open up, but once I do, I'll show you how much love I have to give. Loud noises and quick movements make me anxious, so I would do best in a calm, quiet home without young kids. I love other dogs and would feel more at ease having another dog-friendly dog in the home. I may take some time to adjust, but I'm hoping you'll be the one to help me build my confidence and show me what it means to be part of a family. With your love and understanding, I know I can become your sweet and loyal companion. Will you be the one to give me the forever home I've been looking for?

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Carina came to us from a hoarding situation and was not socialized outside of her previous living environment. She is super scared of strangers, but is very curious and likes to see what the people around her are doing (she'll just stay out of reach until she bonds to you). Carina could take weeks or months to adjust to a new home. She will do best in a home with another dog to help show her how to trust people. Carina is not available to a home with children as they scare her. Carina would be considered a flight risk in a new home environment until she bonds to her people. I think, if given the chance to adjust and bond to her new person, that she will make an incredible companion. She just needs a super patient owner who understands she had a rough life.

Story
Finn is a 9-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua/? mix. He is very loving and affectionate with those he knows. He can also be independent and isn't too needy...the perfect snuggle buddy who isn't in your business all the time! He lives with other dogs, but likes to boss them around and can be intimidating to most. He has also lived with cats and does just fine with them. He loves to sit next to you at night while you are relaxing on the couch or just stay close. He's a nice little guy (with some quirks) and he's looking for a nice retirement home in his golden years.Visit us at the Gainesville Petsmart on Archer Rd Saturdays 11 am to 5 pm and Sundays Noon to 5 pm.

Hi, I'm Jill. I came from a hoarding case and am now learning to trust after years of neglect. I'm looking for a quiet, patient home where I can blossom into the confident companion I know I can be.
