Story
Quavo seems like a very happy dog.  This 9 year old boy was adopted in 2016 but ended up back at the shelter as a stray.  He is very low energy and loves to take naps outside.  He seems good with other dogs, he really loves people, including children.  Quavo really likes to get his head scratched and tummy rubbed.  That will put a smile on his face!  If you give him a chance we think you might find your perfect dog! ##1838602##

Story
Dobby was picked up as a stray by his local shelter.  At first with strangers, he might try to bite, but give him a day or two and then he is usully fine.  He warms up slowly, but when he knows you he likes to be petted and will sit on your lap. He will keep you entertained when he  dances on his hind legs to get a treat.   This is what his foster mom said about Dobby:  "I've been keeping little Dobby while Jan (Jan's Animal Rescue) has been on vacation. This little fella is so cute and smart. He does need time to get adjusted to a new place. He would be great for someone that's at home alot and has no small children. He would also need a slow introduction to another dog. Preferably one close to his size. He's crate trained, potty trained, walks great on a leash. Once he gets used to his new person and his new environment, he's a great lap dog." He is wonderful little dog and deserves a loving home so that he will never have to worry again about being safe, or where his next meal will come from. For more info contact Jan's Animal Rescue. ##1790571##

Story
We are doing a courtesy post for a really wonderful dog named Bella.  She is a full bread German Shepherd, 66 pounds and was born in May of 2023.  Bella's family can no longer keep her, so she is looking for a new forever home.  What an awesome dog!  She came to one or our PetSmart adoption fairs and fit in so well!  She is really great with children, friendly with adults and good with other dogs.  Bella rarely barks, and is low to medium energy level.  She prefers not to be home alone for long periods of time.  Please let us know if you would like to meet a really fantastic dog. ##2248773##

Story
Adult Size: Medium Adult Needs to be only dog in the home Adoption fee: $250 - includes sterilization surgery, microchip, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations. If interested, please complete our adoption application. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/THGF/Dog Looking for a companion dog? Pepper is people-loving and already house-trained! If you work from home, she would love to sit by your side and keep you company. This sweet girl loves to go on walks (and even jogs if you wanted). She will sit by your side at an outdoor restaurant. She is well-behaved and doesn't beg at the table or snatch towels, etc. To play, she'd rather sniff out treats you have hidden than retrieve a ball or stick. She has been reintroduced to crate training and is doing well as we build up her stamina for longer periods by herself. Contact Haley Graves Foundation if you'd like to set up a meet and greet.
