Story
Toots is now on the prowl for her next adventure. She came to us with a completely rotten mouth. It was so bad you could smell her before you saw her. On her intake visit the vet did an emergency dental because the infection was so bad, and Toots lost all her teeth. It took almost 3 weeks for the infection to go away. She also had a large lipoma on her chest that we had to wait to remove because of the bacteria in her mouth. She has recovered from her emergency dental and having the lipoma removed. She has gained some weight and looks wonderful. Now that she's feeling better this girl is so happy. She loves to lay in the sun or up on the couch watching TV. She will do her best to snuggle right behind you, between you and the couch cushion. She does get excited when her people come home but she does settle easily. This girl LOVES to eat. She will need a sign that says- "The dog has been fed. Don't fall for her lies." She knows exactly how to use those puppy dog eyes to get an extra treat or a smidge more kibble. Although she did have all of her teeth removed because of the horrible infection she had, she does eat kibble but small bites. If you are looking to add happy snuggler to the family, check this girl out! Learn more about me and fill out an online adoption application on the From the Heart Rescue website at: www.fthar.org.

Story
Look at this cutie! His name is Marley, and he is looking for a place to spend his golden years. Marley was found wandering the streets all alone without a way to get back home. (Please microchip your pets). We figure Marley is around 13 years old, but he still has plenty of love left to share. Marley loves a comfy bed and to go on walks. Mostly, he's looking for that perfect lap to get snuggles. He does have some vision problems with a cataract in one eye but is visual in the other eye. And a touch of arthritis. Marley uses eye drops and takes medicine for the arthritis to help keep him comfortable. If you think you would be able to provide Marley with a good snuggle spot for his golden years, visit our website and fill out an adoption application.

Story
Say hello to Snoopy! Snoopy was picked up as a stray in the middle of a medical emergency. He was having cluster seizures. We quickly got him to the vet, and they were able to stabilize him. We have Snoopy on anti-seizure medication, and we have not seen him have another. Snoopy is a young pup, around 18 months old. He has worked very hard on potty and crate training. Being young, he is very mouthy but learning. He is also obsessed with your feet. He wants to lick them, bite them, wrestle on them. Obsessed!! Snoopy will need a home with another dog to play with. Wrestling is his favorite thing. Anyone thinking of adding Snoopy to their family, please keep in mind that he will need to be on seizure medication for life and may require more vet visits than a "healthy" pup.

Story
Louise is a quick learner and energetic chug, pug chihuahua mix. We have what she needs ie: food bowl/water bowl/kennel/ dog beds. Can provide a bag of her current dog food so you can transition to what food you want to give her, we recomend keeping her on the same food as she has a sensitive stomach. She is strong willed but quick to learn. Would do well with an energetic dog friend or family. Unsure of how she would interact with children, has not been around any. She is fully vaccinated and can finally go out and have fun in the world with no worries. She isn’t 100% house trained but is catching on to it. We are hoping she finds a good home that will love her as much as she loves others. We are currently dealing with job change and cannot keep her or her sister thelma.

Story
Thelma is a loving dog who is a bit of a scaredy cat. She is a cuddle bug at home. Nervous around other dogs but has not been aggressive at all, she tends to hide underneath you to avoid the situation. Has been learning potty training well, but is still learning. We have dog food bowl/water bowl/ beds/ kennel/ and dog food to go as well to transition to whatever dog food you want to give. We suggest keeping her on the same sensitive food she is currently on though. Because of her sensitive stomach. We are hoping she goes to a loving home. We are currently going through a job change and can’t keep her or her sister louise.
