Story
I took on responsibility of Sophie because a family friend’s young wife died suddenly, leaving him grieving with an active 3 yr old daughter and Sophie. Their house will be sold and they are staying with family until everything settles. Sophie is a lovely dog, doesn’t wander, comes when called and has bonded with me quickly. Don’t have shot records and she probably has Cushing syndrome(drinks/ pees ALOT so needs to be let out often). She is the runt of 16 so is food aggressive… needs to be the only dog or keep her separated. We have a 21 mo old German Shepherd who just wants to play, got out of her pen and kept “poking the bear”. Sophie was good, kept coming back to me, but finally did react and latched on to her ear. We got them apart and our dog is ok. I have posted on FB and reached out to 15 different orgs. I am 66, work FT, have 3 grandsons and my youngest son that I care for, 4 cats and our dog. I’ve quickly gotten attached but am strapped. She needs a loving home. Please help

Story
I’ve assumed responsibility for re-homing Sophie d/t owner being overwhelmed with loss of his wife/ mother of their 3 yr old daughter, care for their daughter, his own health issues and needing to sell their home and relocate( presently staying with family). I am a 66 yo grandmother still working FT nights, raising my 3 grandsons, disabled son, 4 cats and our own dog. I thought rehoming would be easier.Sophie stays close to home, comes when called, is learning some tricks and will fetch a tennis ball for hours.She is crated at night, in outside kennel in morning and in/out of house in afternoon. She just needs a loving home where she’s the only dog. Please give her a loving home!

Story
Meet Simba! The sweetest little boy on the block! He is about 3 years old. He was found by a wonderful family who have cared for him, the last few months. His family never came looking for him. We just don't know why... he's perfect in every way! Simba is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention. He is neutered and microchipped. He is housetrained too. Simba has the heart of a lion and the most loving personality ever! He is great with other dogs too! He loves his foster family, but they know that it is best that he finds his own forever family. He would be great with a retired couple or a family that works from home. We have no idea how he is with children or cats. If interested in our sweet boy, please go out to our website and complete the adoption application. This little 10# boy only wishes for a forever home for his Christmas wish! https://acfrescue.weebly.com/adoption-foster-and-volunteer-applications.html Adoption fee: $550 which covers all vaccines, neuter, chip and heartworm test

Story
Have you ever seen a cuter boy than Dumplin? This boy has been through so much in his lifetime. He was dumped out on a rural road, left to fend for himself. He was mostly hairless when we got him. His foster mom nursed him back to health. He was eaten up with fleas and had so many hotspots on him. Today he is thriving! He loves people, kids and other dogs! Dumplin' is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention, neutered and microchipped. He is housetrained and never meets a stranger. He is the most gentle, loving soul, you'll ever meet. Our vet guesstimates him to be around 7 years old. Being that he has been through so much in his life, he looks a lot older. We do not know for sure, his exact age, but we do know that he loves big! He is such an easy dog! He yearns for nothing but love! If interested in making Dumplin' a part of your family, please complete the adoption application below: https://acfrescue.weebly.com/adoption-foster-and-volunteer-applications.html Adoption fee: $350. This fee covers all vaccines, heartworm test, vet exams and neuter, along with chip.
