Story
Whisper is a 4 year old love bug who loves nothing more than to stick to you like glue. She’s so affectionate and would be content lying on your lap all day if she could but once you show her a toy her playful side comes out and she becomes the happiest girl in the world. The shelter who rescued Whisper found her as a stray about a year ago. She can be shy around new people and she doesn’t bark much, if at all. She hardly makes a peep except for when you leave the home. The only reminder you will have that she’s in the home is the litter patter of her feet as she walks to your side. Due to her separation anxiety she will cry and become nervous when she’s left alone which is something she’s trying to overcome.

Story
Nolan is a beautiful eight week old Lab mix. He and her two siblings were dumped out on the side of a gravel road in the middle of no where. Thankfully someone saw them when they were driving by and stopped to help them. They were all cold, scared, starving, and dehydrated. Nolan gets along great with other dogs and children. He hasn't been around any cats. He is a tender hearted , gentle, loving and playful little boy. His favorite toys are rope toys, balls, and squeaky toys. He is curious and very smart. He loves to be scratched behind his ears and sleep right beside you. Nolan is patiently waiting for someone to give him his forever home.

Story
Bucky is a 3-4 year old French Bulldog who is our little sour patch kid. He’s very particular about what he likes and expects to be catered to a bit…what bulldog doesn’t. ? He was surrendered to a high kill shelter with multiple wounds and very skinny. This caused him to be fearful of the staff and earned him a spot on the euthanasia list. Luckily, we found him just in time! He is great with women and will let you do whatever you need to with him but it takes him longer to warm up to men. Because of his caution, he would do best in an adult only household. He does do well with other dogs and lived with cats previously. Bucky is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccinations. You can apply anytime on our website www.lonelypawsadoptions.org! If you would like to send something special to Bucky, you can shop our Amazon Wish List https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/37A4XL8JL2YCY?ref_=wl_share&tag=riatrotter-20 You can also make a monetary donation for him through our website, just make a note it’s for him! https://www.lonelypawsadoptions.org/page5.html If you can’t donate right now, please consider using the Rakuten app this holiday season with our link.
