Story
Canela is the daughter of my dog ​​that we had for more than a year. She is a very restless, playful puppy, but above all, very affectionate and tender. We love her very much. When she was 8 weeks old, we gave her up for adoption. She came to visit us but we noticed that she was not being well cared for and we believe that she was mistreated and we ask that she be left with us again so that we can find a new home where she can really be cared for and loved as she deserves. We want a permanent home for her, where she is surrounded by love, unfortunately we cannot take care of her due to some family problems.

Story
I am the goodest boy. I love all people. I love other dogs and cats. I walk good on a leash but I am pretty strong. I’m a hound dog with my nose to the ground but not a hunter. My last people didn’t care about me. They made me hungry all the time and they let me get heartworms. My rescue people love me. They have my heartworms treated and my belly is never empty. I don’t have to be outside in the heat, rain and cold. My angels were sent for me. They tell me my Furever Angel will come along shortly. Until then I’m living the bestest life.

Story
May need to eventually use a wheel chair due to arthritis in her backI am a sweet 5 yr old girl. I came to rescue via a vet visit. My owner wanted to euthanize me because I was in pain and he couldn’t afford to take care of me. I went into rescue to hopefully get better with medication. It was determined that I have DDD in my back (degenerative disc disease) for about 2 weeks I lost the use of my back legs. I was then placed in a wheelchair which I mastered quickly. My people had come to except that would be my life going forward. Boy did I fool them cause I determined that was not the life I wanted. First I started briefly walking on my knees then I slowly started standing up and taking a few steps. Next thing you know I’m running everywhere. My legs are still too weak to jump or stand up on my hind legs but my place is to always be in a humans lap to snuggle so I’m building those muscles back up. My fosters showed me so much love and patience I just wanted to be better.. My foster mom calls me her shadow.and her bed mole because I like to dwell under the covers. I follow her everywhere and love lap snuggles. My favorite place to sleep is under the blankets snuggled as close as I can get to my person.I have a favorite blanket that I like to suckle and nibble on. I am vocal but not as bad as most of my relatives usually are, I’m more of an alert system. I’m completely house trained and will let you know when I need to go out. I’m great with all dogs and cats but prefer not to share my persons lap although I will tolerate it if I have to. To apply for me please visit STFFAR.

Story
Sam is the most unique looking pup, he name stands for Short Adorable Mutt. It was love at first sight when we pulled him from Randolph animal shelter. He has the body of a basset hound and the head of a pitbull. He definitely has that hound bark which is so cute and he only barks to alert us of anything unusual. He is definitely a very large lap dog. He wants to be as close to you as he can possibly get. He is completely house trained and does well in his crate. He is not destructive except…he is a digger. He is also an escape artist if given the opportunity. He does however come back when he is done with what HE wants to do. He doesn’t seem to care about my cats but will give chase if they run or move quickly so I would not trust him alone with them. Although he gets along with most dogs, he is dog selective and extremely alpha so wish him to be with a one and only or tested with the other dog that would be in his home. He has been totally vetted and microchipped. He truly is a great dog, full of love to give. To apply for him please visit STFFAR.org for a online application February 1, 2025, 11:39 am

Story
THE SWEETEST BABY EVER. Coco is a SMART, BEAUTIFUL and SWEET girl. Coco is a 4yr old Pit. She can be overly excited to new people but will listen to calm down a little. She lovesss to be loved on and cuddled. Although we love her very much, I have grown an allergy to her which breaks my heart to admit. So i need to find her a GOOD and LOVING home. She is house trained, crate trained, knows most basic commands. She comes with a large cage/crate, her bed, her toys, a 13 gallon food container that can roll, her food/water bowl and stand for bowls.

Story
Pips is a young and healthy Cattle Dog / Border Collie mix, 50 lbs weight, with blue heeler coloring. When I rescued him in February of 2023, the vet estimated him at 2 years old, making him 3-4 years old now. He was already neutered when I adopted him, and I have kept him up to date on all his vaccines. He takes one capsule of anxiety medication every morning. He's a sweetheart with all kinds of people, extremely eager to please, loves cuddles and head-butts, and very food motivated for easy training. He has typical high energy for the breed and loves to run. He was skittish and dog-aggressive initially, but has calmed down significantly with dedicated training. He is now mostly only reactive when leash walking, but his high energy and playful nature can sometimes frighten smaller or older dogs. I'd love for him to find a permanent home with lots of yard space or a farm to run around, or an active owner that wants to include him in frequent outdoor activities.
