Story
May need to eventually use a wheel chair due to arthritis in her backI am a sweet 5 yr old girl. I came to rescue via a vet visit. My owner wanted to euthanize me because I was in pain and he couldn’t afford to take care of me. I went into rescue to hopefully get better with medication. It was determined that I have DDD in my back (degenerative disc disease) for about 2 weeks I lost the use of my back legs. I was then placed in a wheelchair which I mastered quickly. My people had come to except that would be my life going forward. Boy did I fool them cause I determined that was not the life I wanted. First I started briefly walking on my knees then I slowly started standing up and taking a few steps. Next thing you know I’m running everywhere. My legs are still too weak to jump or stand up on my hind legs but my place is to always be in a humans lap to snuggle so I’m building those muscles back up. My fosters showed me so much love and patience I just wanted to be better.. My foster mom calls me her shadow.and her bed mole because I like to dwell under the covers. I follow her everywhere and love lap snuggles. My favorite place to sleep is under the blankets snuggled as close as I can get to my person.I have a favorite blanket that I like to suckle and nibble on. I am vocal but not as bad as most of my relatives usually are, I’m more of an alert system. I’m completely house trained and will let you know when I need to go out. I’m great with all dogs and cats but prefer not to share my persons lap although I will tolerate it if I have to. To apply for me please visit STFFAR. Org for an online application. December 13, 2024, 2:07 pm

Story
Free to a good home. Her name is Willow. She is two years old, She needs a yard to run and play in because she's very energetic and playful. Unfortunately living in an apartment is not good for her. She does take a little bit to warm up to new people and new pets, but once you're not considered a stranger she'll warm up to you and loves on you. It breaks our hearts to let this girl we love go but it's really what's best for her.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 8/1/2020I am a happy boy that likes my people and gets along with other dogs. I am housebroken, crate trained, and love to snuggle with my foster mom.I  am a 4 year old black Chihuahua Mix - neutered  - up to date on all vaccines - and so ready to find my forever home.   While I do love all people, it would be best that my forever home does not have any small children as I tend to get a little rough and mouthy when playing.   I do prefer that my new forever home is a home with a fenced in yard and has a doggie door.  I don’t really like the apartment life! I like to run and get in my exercise when I go out to take care of business. I do not like dog parks, there is just too much going on and I will be very vocal because not all eyes are on me! If you think I am a good match for you please put in an application and my foster mom will be in contact. Come meet me at the next adoption event!  Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:   $100.00   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2024, 6:34 pm

Story
Edith came to our rescue from a rural shelter where she had suffered from pyometria, an infection of the uterus that is 100% preventable if her previous owner had spayed her before. She has since been spayed, microchipped, is up to date on vaccines and HW-. She is a quiet house guest in her foster home, and enjoys laying on the orthopedic bed. She went to her first adoption event yesterday and enjoyed sitting in a volunteers lap the whole time! She is sweet and would be fine as an only dog, or with another nice chill dog. Please apply for this sweet little lady and give her some love in her senior years. apply.neshamarescue.org
