Story
Being treated for heartworms by rescueI 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 are getting me treated for the heartworms 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. To apply please visit STFFAR.orgNovember 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
Annabelle is special needs as she requires the use of a wheelchair. She just recently lost the use of her back legs due arthritis in her long back.I am a sweet 5 yr old girl. I am a very sweet special needs little girl. I have arthritis in my back that has caused me to loose the use of my back legs. I have recently transitioned into a wheelchair where I can really get my groove on. I can race around the yard as fast as my foster siblings can on 4 feet. My wheels are really fast. My foster mom calls me her shadow. 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. Org for an online application. November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
Sophie is a lovely Staff/ Lab mix obtained from DBMB in NJ by a young family. Sadly, mom passed away suddenly, leaving dad to care for their 3 yr old daughter and dog. They must move and cannot take Sophie. Sophie is not trained and has food aggression( she’s the runt of 16 pups), so she’s best kept outside and fed separately from other dogs or even be the only dog. We keep her crated in the house at night. She doesn’t run off and loves attention. She’s at my home temporarily until we find her a home. Please welcome her into your home! We have a 2 yr old German Shepherd and 4 cats already.

Story
Matilda is a precious 7-year-old Papillon with a heart full of love and a story that speaks to her incredible resilience. After being rescued from a commercial breeder, Matilda has faced more than her fair share of challenges, including severe malnourishment and two surgeries on her right front leg to repair breaks. Despite everything she has been through, she is a gentle, loving soul who is now ready to find her forever home. Matilda is seeking a special person where she will be the absolute focus of their world. Her ideal home will be calm and serene-one without children, other pets, or stairs, as she needs a quiet environment where her physical and emotional needs are met. Matilda has had dental surgery, leaving her with only four teeth, so she enjoys moist, easy-to-eat food that keeps her tummy happy. While Matilda wasn't housebroken when she arrived, she has been making steady progress and is learning to use potty pads. She is a physically delicate little lady, so gentle handling and patience are essential. Thunderstorms and loud noises can still be very scary for her, and her new family will need to provide her with comfort and security during those times. But what Matilda truly shines at is giving and receiving love. She has a heart of gold and is looking for someone who will shower her with attention and cherish every moment together. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this brave, loving girl, Matilda will be a devoted and affectionate companion.
