Story
I adopted my pet when he was a puppy. He loves people and has no problem with them, unfortunately I got to busy with my schedule and did not properly train him to interact with other dogs so he does need work on that. Very healthy, very vibrant, and full of life and just needs a good 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

Meet BAXTER! 🐶 🩵 💙 🤍 🐾 This handsome, floppy-eared 2 year old pup is ready to find his happily every after! We rescued Baxter, his sister, and momma from death row at Clovis Animal Shelter last year. Baxter was adopted and is being returned due to behavioral issues of his adopted doggy brother’s. His adopter is unable to manage the issues with Baxter present, so we are committed to finding him a home that will be forever🙏 Baxter is potty trained, leash trained (working on his 🐿️ & 🐰 urges) and knows basic cues 🧠 He loves making doggy friends and does fabulous with proper intros! Baxter can be a shy guy with humans, but his current home has worked on socialization by taking him to work, parks, the hair salon, etc! Baxter is very adventurous with some of his favorite activities being hiking, going for car rides, and swimming 💦 he’s also easy going too and loves to chill with his dog friends or humans. Baxter is quite fond of squeaky toys and doesn’t have any resource issues either! 🐕 🥰 Baxter would love a patient furever family who is ready to continue his training and confidence building. Baxter is such a deserving pup and will be the loyal best friend you could only dream of having!🥺 Baxter is neutered, microchipped, & up to date on shots. His adoption fee is $200 🐾 please submit an adoption application if interested in meeting this sweet boy!🐶 https://dooverdogs.com/multi-step-adoption-form-1/
