Story
Hello, gentle people!I am Mama! Blackie and I are a pair of chihuahua mixes, and I was born approximately 10/28/2014. We have both lived inside of a house our whole lives so the nice people at Safe Haven let Blackie and me go live with a foster dad! He has other small dogs, and we get along really well. Blackie and I are not, however, quite sure what to make of our other housemate, a kitty cat. We like to chase the kitty cat and bark at her sometimes, but our foster dad is trying to convince us to be friends with her. We're still thinking about it! ?? We are wishing so hard for a new family with warm laps to cuddle in and a nice little yard with sunny spots to lounge in. I have all of my shots, I am spayed, I am microchipped, and I am house trained! Do you have any extra room in your heart to love a cute little old lady furever and ever?Peace, love, and tail wags,MamaNote: Mama has been diagnosed with heart disease and is taking prescription medication.

Story
Hello doggy lovers! I am Rooster, and I have lived with my brother, Cooper, ever since we were born in late 2019. Cooper and I need to be adopted together cuz we get scared when we're apart. We don't even like going on walks by ourselves! Our last family couldn't keep us anymore cuz we were too 'spensive and their big dogs didn't like us very much. We were really sad at first, but our friends at Safe Haven are helping us to build confidence and meet new people friends AND doggy friends! Our Safe Haven pals say we're just like Spiderman cuz we figured out how to climb chain link fences. They say that we'll need to find a family with a very secure yard because we are very curious and like to explore. I guess they are right, but we would MUCH rather climb into a lap than over a fence! Can we climb into yours?Love and tail wags,RoosterNote from Safe Haven: Cooper and Rooster are looking for a calm family that will be patient with them while they settle in. Rooster can be especially jumpy around strangers and in new situations, and he may become nippy when he is stressed.

Story
Sweet Coco found herself at the shelter as a stray. This wasn't her first time there. She was picked up as a puppy and adopted out. But this time no one came looking for her. The microchip information was no longer current. During her intake exam the vet noted that she had a severe luxating patella, where the kneecap can move out of the groove and slip side to side, and the vet felt it was severe enough to require surgery. Coco was put up for adoption and received a lot of interest, but everyone backed out when realizing that she would require surgery to live her best life. The shelter asked if we could take her and get her surgery so she could have a chance at a loving home. One of our amazing fosters said they had room, and we got her right into our vet. It turns out that instead of a luxating patella, Coco has a torn CCL. Basically, a person's ACL. Our vet no longer handles these types of surgery, so we have an appointment with another vet to see what he says. If everyone could keep a good thought for Coco that would be great. So far, we have learned that she loves to play and is loving and snuggly. Keep an eye for updates about Coco.   Learn more about me and fill out an online adoption application on the From the Heart Rescue website at: www.fthar.org. My requested adoption donation includes my spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations and medical care to date, microchip implantation and registration, collar, leash, and ID tag. If Im not exactly what you want, please visit my other friends in rescue at From The Heart Rescue on our website at www.fthar.org.

Story
My daughter adopted two six week old sisters seven months ago. She applied for medical school and was accepted in Austin Texas, recently moved there but due to cost, she got a one bedroom apartment and there is not enough space for two young female dogs. One of the sisters was adopted by one of our family member and Camila is still waiting for a new home. She behaves a little shy at the beginning with unknown persons but gets social after she is relaxed and petted. She is very lovely and loves to be touched by people she knows.
