Story
Oh, Stripe is such a cutie patootie!  He's super sweet, cuddly and happy when by your side. Stripe is only 3 years old and is a 12-pound shih-tzu-chinese crested snuggly buddy. He is fostered with another pup and does great, and we think he would be good with cats, too. Stripe is shy at first but once he knows you, it's nose boops and belly rubs. Stripe isn't a city boy so is looking for a home in the suburbs where he can hang in the back yard and stay close to home. He loves to be loved.  During the day he chills out with his foster brother quietly watching out the big window while his Foster Mom goes to work.   To learn more about Stripe, please email adoptme@cockerspanielrescue.com.  He is located in Northern VA. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 12, 2025, 2:11 pm

Story
Oh, Nyx....where do I begin. This girl is a special one! She came to us when our vet asked us to take in a special needs puppy. Nyx was born with hydrocephalus and the breeder didn't want her so she surrendered Nyx to our vet. Her hydrocephalus doesn't affect her health in any way now but we believe it has affected her personality. Nyx is a very special girl who will need a VERY special adopter. One who is patient and calm and willing to accept Nyx for who she is! Nyx wants affection on her terms but will run from you if you try to pick her up. You have to go low and slow so she won't run from you. Nyx will HAVE to have a fenced in yard for that very reason - if she got out you probably wouldn't get her to come back to you. Nyx likes other dogs but doesn't really know how to play with them and can mean to them when she's just trying to get them to play. We think all of her quirks are a direct result of her hydrocephalus. She can be so loving, but she is definitely a quirky one! Nyx will do best with older children or a quiet household. If you are the unicorn adopter we are looking for - who is willing to accept Nyx for who she is - please fill out our application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once her adoption is finalized.
