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 !

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 everybody! My name is Oliver! I`m a sweet and playful pup looking for a family to call my own. I`m very sweet with people but can be a little shy at first, and once I warm-up I`m the cuddliest bug you`ll ever meet. I`ve been friendly with other dogs at the shelter and in my previous home, but I do have a stronger prey drive and need to go to a home without cats or critters. I`m still learning my puppy manners, and will need more help in my future home with potty training, crate training, and basic command training. I love to go for walks, go to the dog park, and I will eat just about anything I am offered. I`m particularly fond of rope toys and squeaky toys, and would play all day if I could. If you want a sweet and energetic young pup to bring into your life, then I might be the one for you!Medical History: I appear to be a healthy young adult dog at this time, but it`s always a good idea to get me into a vet soon after adoption so I can meet my new doctor! Weight: 56.6 lbsAdoption Fee: $425 + TaxIf you`d like to meet me, click the `Learn About the Adoption Process` button below to plan a visit to the shelter!

Story
***** Mama has been with us longer than we would like and is looking for a special home so she is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and her adoption fee has been reduced to $275. *****Hi! Who`s got no thumbs, a scrunchy little face, and the cutest curly cue tail? This gal! My three favorite things are napping, snacking, and being spoiled. And I`m looking for a home where my owner will enjoy the same, because I`ve got plenty of love to give! I would prefer to be your one and only canine companion and would do best in a home with kids who are teens or older. If you`d like a cute little wigglebutt to add to your family, come meet me today! My adoption includes a four week scholarship to an online training program called GoodPup! Be sure to ask my friends in the adoption center how to enroll. Medical History: I don`t have any noteworthy medical history. However, it would still be a good idea for me to meet my new vet sometime soon after adoption, so we can become good friends and make plans for my long-term good health!Weight: 19lbsAdoption Fee: $275 + taxI am currently in a foster home, so please contact the Adoption Center at 608-838-0413 ext. 145 to ask about meeting me!
