Story
Please read description Meet Fritz! This sweet 8-year-old Beagle mix may have a few special needs, but he’s still full of love and ready to be your loyal companion. Fritz is deaf, has cloudy eyes, and is living with elevated kidney levels and arthritis in his hips and back legs. Despite these challenges, he gets around just fine and would love to follow you everywhere as your devoted shadow. Fritz enjoys being outside, and every now and then, he gets a burst of energy and trots around with joy. He’s comfortable navigating stairs, uses a pet door, and goes potty outside. While he does sleep a lot, he still has plenty of love to give, especially when it comes to neck scratches! Currently on a special kidney diet and pain medication for arthritis, Fritz is a calm and easy-going 36-pound pup who just needs a soft landing for his golden years. Sadly, he was abandoned during the holidays, but he’s ready to give his heart to a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days. Please consider making Fritz a part of your family. We’re asking for a $150 adoption fee to help with his care. Let’s make sure Fritz has a warm home and a wonderful Christmas! Apply at www.misfitsdogrescue.org January 4, 2025, 12:03 pm

Story
HONEYDEW IS BEING WITHDRAWN FROM ADOPTABLE DOGS WHILE HE IS HAVING SOME ADJUSTMENT ISSUES.  HE IS IN THE LOVING ARMS OF HIS FOSTER MOM FOR NOW. THIS SHELTIE IS A PUPPY MILL SURVIVOR.  IT WILL TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE FOR HIM TO BEHAVE LIKE A "REAL DOG."  IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE PATIENCE, PLEASE LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A DOG. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT UNDERSOCIALIZED DOGS AND HOW TO HELP THEM REHAB, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. A COMPLETED APPLICATION OS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD FOSTERING OR ADOPTING.  YOU WILL FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org. If you are happy and you know it...you must be Honeydew!  Honeydew is a 3-year-old intact male sable and white Sheltie.  (HE WILL BE NEUTERED VERY SOON.  WE PAY FOR IT AND IT IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.)  In spite of him coming from a puppy mill, he is a cheerful little fellow.  He is light-boned and dances when he walks.  He does not walk far on a leash and needs slow encouragement not to be frightened.  He eats like a champ and will even take a treat from my hand.  He especially likes one of our volunteers and when Susan pulled into the driveway today, he got as brave as he could and walked right up to her.  (If you heard celebrating, that is what that was about.) Honeydew is UTD on all his vaccines and is microchipped with a Home Again chip that will be activated when he finds his forever family.  His bloodwork is fine and he is Heartworm negative.  All of that is well and good, as they say.  But you are looking at a long process of loving kindness to help this little dude be all he can be.  Agility perhaps???? If you really understand all of this and are still on board....let's talk.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 29, 2024, 11:24 pm

Story
This is the smartest most amazing dog I have ever owned. I am heartbroken to lose him, but I am moving overseas and cannot take him. He is 3 years old, has been well loved! He is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. He loves all animals and people, he is very gentle and was good with my 90 year old grandmother as well as my new born grand daughter. He lets 3 pound yorkies play on his back and finds a way to make himself small enough to play with them. He cuddles on the couch and says "I Love You" he blames everything on someone called 'EYE-RA' and he brings joy to every single day! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me find him a loving home.

Story
Atlas is great with kids and has been really good with other dogs. I know I put that he doesn't get along with animals because there was no other choice in the option menu, but he DOES get along with dogs. Our dog we have had for years just has not taken to him and we are worried about her. He was purchased from a Facebook group at about 4 months old and we were told he was raised in a barn with other dogs and light exposure to livestock. Since being with us he has been mainly inside as we were planning to move him outside once he was a bit older. He is very playful and loves affection. He has been a great dog, just not the right fit for us with our dog we already have. We want to make sure he finds a good home, preferably with land for him to roam on. He loves being outside.

Capone is a fully vetted, Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. He recently completed treatment for heartworms, and received the "all clear" from the vet. Capone is very friendly with people, and has done well with all dogs we have introduced home to, since joining our rescue, though he has had no exposure to cats. Capone is approximately 3 yrs old, playful, and now healthy! ****Capone is currently in foster care in Dallas/Fort Worth, so transport would need to be arranged**** If interested in adopting Capone, please fill out our adoption application online: www.salvagedsoulspetrescue.org
