Story
I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.

Story
Rose is a combination peaceful, serene with her people and playful young girl especially chasing her Kong Rubber Ball. Soulful eyes just beg you to let me be yours. Chills out after play and takes life easy. She enjoys all kinds of throw toys and is very good about releasing them. Really fun dog with a gentle spirit and loving attitude. A great combination of relatively compact size, super joyful spirit, focused affection and companion, and fun ! Adoption Process Guardianship Application available for download at http://tinyurl.com/MAPSFiles The Adoption process is designed to help best place dogs with homes that are in the best interest of the dogs and their human companions. The adoption process starts with a prescreen review of an Guardian Application. Making decisions about dog placement in adoptive homes is an "art", not a "science", and there will be times when applications will be denied for various reason(s). This is left to the discretion of the MAPS after reviewing relevant information. MAPS reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care into a foster or adoptive home. There is no guarantee that any applicant(s) requesting to adopt a dog being fostered through MAPS, or posted on MAP's web site, will be granted an adoption. After a successful prescreen, including background checks, the applicant(s) are notified that they can visit the dogs and a time slot is made for the dog and applicant interaction. After the interaction we encourage several days of reflection before adopting a pet to help assure this will be a lifetime commitment of love and quality care for the dog. Next we conduct a home/neighborhood visit to the Guardian Applicant's home. If the home visit proves successful the new mom and/or dad of the dog will sign an Adoption Agreement and share a lifetime of love !

Story
Anna…. She immediately connects with most any person she meets. She enjoys doggy activities but her favorite activity is simply being with you. She loves walks, car rides, rubber ball retrieval or lying near you Anna doesn’t just live she thrives on her/your daily routine. If you have a busy day, that’s OK she will spend her day watching you work. She is smart, food motivated and eager to please. Her personality and intelligence make her a great student. She has most of the basic commands mastered and is already house and crate trained. She is ready for that next big step in her life. Remember Anna is a book with only a sentence or two in each paragraph. She is waiting for you to finish her life’s story with her. Someone will get a great companion who would love to spend her day on your schedule. Anna has all the right ingredients; wouldn’t you like to bake the cake?

Story
Hi, I`m Penny! Some dogs are dime a dozen, but not me. I might just be the lucky penny you`ve been looking for! I`m a super friendly and affectionate pup who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and spending time with my favorite humans. I’m full of energy and always ready for fun, whether it’s chasing squirrels or exploring new places. I’m a little jumpy around kids, but it’s just because I’m so excited to say hello! While I prefer being the only dog in the house, I’ll happily shower you with all the love and affection. So if you want your own personal lucky penny, I`m the dog for you! Medical History: Penny is a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so they can meet each other!Weight: ~ 7.49 lbsAdoption Fee: $375 +taxRestrictions: No other dogs.If you`d like to meet me, click the `Learn About the Adoption Process` button below to plan a visit to the shelter!

Story
***** Angelina has been with us longer than we would like so she is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and her adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor. *****Why, yes, I AM beautiful like a Hollywood starlet. Thank you! I’m Angelina, and I’m pleased to meet you! Aside from being easy on the eyes, I’m also easy on the heart because I’m a major love bug! I sure do love my people, although sometimes it takes a bit for me to warm up and make you my own. Now, I am a bit challenging to walk on a leash because I really like to bark at the other dogs I see and chase little buns, squirrels, or any other little critter. Which is why I would do best in a home with a fenced yard and where I can be the only pet in your home. But let me reiterate - I love all peeps and kiddos and I promise to fill your life with all the love and cuddles you need! I’d like for us to meet, so come on in! Love, Angelina Medical History: Angelina is a healthy senior, but it`s always a good idea to schedule an appointment with your future vet soon after adoption!Weight: 37 lbsAdoption Fee: Angelina`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donorEligible for Goodpup Scholarship!If you`d like to meet me, click the `Learn About the Adoption Process` button below to plan a visit to the shelter!

***** Max has been here longer than we would like so he is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and his adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor. *****Meet Max! Max is friendly and loves spending time with his humans, but can be a little fearful in new situations, so he may need a patient and understanding owner who can help him feel secure as he adjusts to his surroundings. Max can also be reactive towards other dogs, so he’s best suited to a home where he can have his own space without other animal friends. He would thrive in an environment where his needs for quiet, routine, and reassurance are met. For the right family, he would make a loyal canine companion!Eligible for a goodpup scholarship! Medical History: Max is a healthy senior, but it`s always a good idea to schedule an appointment with your future vet soon after adoption!Weight: 44 lbsRestrictions: No other animals in home, and no small children. Must have fenced yard.Adoption Fee: Max`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donorIf you`d like to meet me, click the `Learn About the Adoption Process` button below to plan a visit to the shelter!
