Pretzel is STILL Waiting for His Furever Home! Meet Pretzel, our adorable 2-year-old hound mix who's been with us the longest and deserves a family of his very own! This handsome 63-pound bundle of love is playful, goofy, and full of personality. He's ready to be your loyal adventure buddy AND your favorite couch companion. Why Pretzel is the Perfect Pup: Dog-Social: Loves other dogs and thrives in playtime! Advanced Training: Completed a 14-day board-and-train program with our amazing trainer Ernie Webb. He knows commands like sit, wait, break, and heel-and he's eager to please! Active and Fun: Whether it's hiking, boating, or exploring the outdoors, Pretzel is always up for an adventure. Afterward, he's happy to snuggle up for a nap by your side. Great Leash Manners: Walks beautifully on a leash, making outings stress-free. Pretzel is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea prevention. While we're not sure how he is with cats, we're happy to do a cat test upon request. His Adoption Fee Has Been Sponsored! That's right-thanks to a generous donor, Pretzel's adoption fee is covered! All this boy needs now is a loving family to call his own.

Story
Meet Hashbrown. He is a special little guy who falls in love with everyone he meets. He's small at only around 30 lbs and has the face of a puppy. He's literally a forever puppy! Hashbrown came to the rescue as a small pup born with spinal malformations (think scoliosis in people). After consulting with specialists and lots of physical therapy, sadly, it was determined that he would never be able to walk like a normal dog. But that's ok! He is super fast with only use of his front two legs and has a pretty rad wheelchair, that will stay with him when he is adopted. He is super fast, and he doesn't know he is any different than any other dog. Hashbrown can go to the bathroom on his own, but his foster mom expresses his bladder every day to help with controlling when he goes. This may sounds super scary, but its SO EASY and we can show you how! It only takes. a minute or two. If not, he can live without being expressed and wears belly bands to keep him clean! Now all his care stuff is out of the way, let's talk about how amazing and wonderful he is. Hashbrown is super loyal. Animals are so resilient and Hashbrown is no different. He runs in the backyard and loves going for walks. He sleeps on a dog bed next to his foster's bed at night and sleeps all through the night. He loves snacks and treats, and his foster mom feeds him snacks in food puzzles that he always figures out. He's so smart. He gained a following on social media with his cute bunny hop videos of him as a baby in a wheelchair. This even landed him in the WeRateDogs segment on Ryan Seacrest's New Year's Rockin Even in 2023! Basically you could adopt your own mini celebrity, lol. Special needs animals aren't really any different than other animals, and Hashbrown would love to find a forever home of his own. He would really make a great travel buddy and a new best friend! If you're interested in meeting this amazing pup, apply today! Or if you have any questions you can email us directly at info@runawaysanimalrescue.org
