Story
Rescued from a challenging hoarding situation in summer 2020, I lived among 27 dogs, receiving minimal attention and competing for basic needs like food and shelter. With the patient care of my current foster, I've come a long way, though I'm still timid around humans due to my past. While I get along with other dogs, I'm not very affectionate towards people and prefer a patient and understanding home where I can feel safe without needing constant attention.

Story
Sweet Honey has endured more heartbreak than any dog should. Adopted as a puppy, she was later abandoned and survived eight long months on the streets before returning to SNARL. She was adopted again, only to be returned because she isn’t a fan of other animals. Now, after 415 days in foster care with a crate-and-rotate setup, Honey is still waiting for her forever family. 💔 Honey is the queen of companionship and dreams of being the only pet in a loving home where she can finally relax. She’s energetic, loyal, and the perfect partner for walks, runs, and adventures. With her big heart and zest for life, she’ll bring endless love and joy to an active family. This resilient, affectionate girl deserves to be someone’s one and only. Could it be you? Apply today at www.snarllv.org. All adoption fees include up-to-date vaccinations, spaying, and microchipping. Let’s make Honey’s dream of a forever home come true! 🏡🐾

Story
Patience 💜🐾 1,000 days. That’s how long this sweet, loyal girl has been waiting for her forever family. Rescued while pregnant in 2022, she raised her puppies like a champ—but while they all found homes, she’s still waiting for hers. She’s potty trained, knows her basic commands, and is treat-motivated (aka the best kind of learner!). She’s protective of her family and needs time to warm up to new people, especially men, but once she trusts you? You’ll have her whole heart. Patience thrives with another dog and does well with respectful kids. She’s even playful with cats—just with some supervision! A female-only home or a patient adopter willing to let her feel safe would be perfect. 1,000 days is far too long. Let’s find Patience the forever love she’s been waiting for. Apply today! 💕 #1000DaysTooLong #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ForeverHome

Jayne: The Pup Cup Queen 👑🐶 Adopted in 2020, abandoned in January 2024—Jayne has been patiently waiting for her new family ever since. But through it all, she’s never stopped being the sweetest, most loving girl around. She’s all about snuggles, playtime, and pup cups (her absolute favorite treat!). Jayne is wonderful with kids and other dogs (a meet-and-greet is always a good idea!) and would love a home where she can soak up love and share her joyful energy. She’s been nothing but sweet, loyal, and full of love, despite everything she’s been through. This cuddle bug thrives on human companionship and wants nothing more than to be by your side—whether that’s playing with the kids, lounging on the couch, or rolling over for belly rubs. She sleeps in bed with her foster family and adores her foster kids, greeting them with tail wags and kisses every morning. She’s also a pup cup connoisseur—seriously, if there’s whipped cream involved, Jayne is all in! She’s well-behaved, house-trained, and eager to please. While she gets along great with other dogs, her favorite place is right next to her people, soaking up every bit of love they have to give. Jayne has waited long enough—could you be the one to give her the forever home she deserves?
