Story
Meet Barley, a rescue from South Korea with a birthday on September 10, 2020. Unfortunately, I'm moving abroad and can't take him with me. Once he warms up to you, he's a sweet and cuddly companion, but it can take some time for him to feel comfortable. He does have a history of biting when strangers enter the home, so new owners will need to be cautious in that regard. Barley gets along well with other dogs, but, again, he'll need some time to adjust to a new furry friend. He loves walks, hikes, and bike rides, but he also enjoys lounging on the couch and sunbathing. I'm looking for a loving new home that will cherish Barley as much as I do. I will include all of his belongings, such as his bed and leash, with him. Thank you for considering giving Barley a new home!

Story
Jack is a loving and smart boy! He survived being hit by a car, suffering two broken legs, but is the fastest little man you know. He enjoys life to the fullest playing and running in the yard with his foster family including their 3 dogs & 2 kids. He is receiving physical therapy as well as adequan therapy, and both his legs are gaining mobility, he may never have full use of his back legs, but he gets around so well already and still has therapy to undergo! He is a dog that will need some special care for a bit, but he will repay with loving kisses and cuddles. He is very smart and easy to manage. We would love for someone to foster to adopt him, so they can fall in love, or an adoption if you're sure he's a fit! Jack is house trained, has a microchip already, is fixed, fully vaccinated and has his adequan and physical therapy covered through yoga animals rescue foundation! If you're looking for a special life guy to brighten up your day Jack is your boy!October 10, 2024, 12:17 am

She would love to have a playful doggy sibling in her furever family💖one of her favorite activities is playing, including chewing & tossing toys around the house🧸 Dolly loves joining her foster parents on trips to the brewery, dog park, car rides, and outdoor patios.☀️ She tends to warm up quicker to women (despite being obsessed with her foster dad), but has grown to love her foster daddy’s buddies- even flirting by giving them tender kisses on the cheek 🥰 Not only is she a pretty face, Dolly is potty trained and does great on leash! She knows come, down, stay, & UP ⬆️ Dolly has been working hard on building her confidence 💪 She is shy with strangers, and will be best matched with an adopter who is patient and willing to continue her socialization. Due to her timidity, a household with no small children is best💜 Dolly has come SO far, we know she will continue to blossom with loving humans! Not only is she ready to complete your family, she is ready to fulfill your soul with joy and happiness!! Dolly is spayed, microchipped, & up to date on shots.
