Story
She is fine with animals. However, she is a bully. She is extremely people picky and does not like to be approached, she prefers to make contact. She is extremely food driven in any type of training. She will get into any food possible, if left unattended. She’s still very hyper. Overall, she’s a really good dog and just needs the love. I don’t have time to give her right now.

George is a very sweet and loyal pooch to the ones he loves. He's slow to warm up to new people so his new owners will need to be understanding of that. He's been good with the dogs and cats in the foster home. Because he's shy we think it's best he go into an adult only home.George is snuggly and a fabulous lap warmer._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for George is $ 400.00WANT TO MEET GeorgeThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on George and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Looking for a running/hiking/exploring partner? Cubby Joe (AKA CJ) is happy to join you on all of your fun activities. This hound mix is full of life and love. He is a sweet, affectionate young dog who gets along well with other dogs. He may take time warming up to new people, but that's only because he wants to make sure they are worthy of his love and affection. CJ likes to stay busy - he is not a couch potato. This adorable, fun guy has been in his foster home for over TWO YEARS and we don't know why! If you can't adopt CJ, please share his information and help us find his forever home._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Cubby Joe is $ 400.00WANT TO MEET Cubby JoeThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Cubby Joe and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Buster is the happiest little dog you will ever meet. It's hard to look at him and not smile. He came to us kind of scraggly but after a nice grooming, a dental and some TLC, he is feeling fine. Buster lost his loving home when his owner passed away. We are looking for the perfect home for him to live out his golden years. Buster has Cushing's Disease but is not needing treatment at this time. Cushing's disease (also known as Cushing’s syndrome) is a condition in which the adrenal glands overproduce certain hormones. Don't let this stop you from adopting this special senior. Did we mention he is great with other dogs?_________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Buster is $ 300.00WANT TO MEET BusterThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Buster and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Bruce is a well-mannered 15-pound Pomeranian mix who wants to be your only pet. Bruce's foster mom says he is an amazing dog filled with calmness and love. He would be a great companion for a couch potato since his favorite activity snuggling and being warm. Nothing makes Bruce happier than a good soft comforter. Bruce walks well on a leash, however he is more of a homebody. He does his business and goes right back in the house. If you adopt Bruce, you won't have to worry about knowing when it's time for bed. He will inform you when it's bed time. Bruce prefers to have his person/bed/toys and food all to himself. If you are looking for one amazing dog, Bruce is the best!_________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Bruce is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET BruceThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Bruce and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
