Story
Georgie, aka George Harrison is doing great! Little man thoroughly enjoyed himself in the snow storm! He hates vacuums but loves cuddling w my pup KK and staying warm next to her! He enjoys stealing carrots and PB filled kong toys. He has such a big personality for such a tiny sweet boy !This is George Harrison!!! He’s been in a foster for about a month now. He is still so incredibly shy, but his personality is slowly coming out! His favorite time of the day is feeding time, where he gives me quite a few spins out of excitement. But he also enjoys our trips outside where he can sniff out everything in the neighborhood. He needs a home with a really patient and loving owner. He takes a while to come out of his shell, but when he does he is full of life. I hope this little buddy can find a homeGeorge Harrison came with the other three members of his group from a stay in the puppy prison in Kansas City, Hey, hey, hey.We don't know why he was there but it had been too many hard days night and their time was up.

Story
Lenny John as I call him is so cute. I have been working on crate training him and so far so good. His favorite thing to do is be near his human. Lenny is a happy little sweetie pie. It looks like he's actually smiling in this picture. This is why I love fostering.Lenny AKA John Lennon Update from his Current Foster: Lenny is a total love bug, wonderful snuggler, very quiet, sweet and demure.  He has a wonderful personality and loves to sleep in my lap while I work from home. He also sleeps right next to me in the bed but if I get up to raid the fridge he is right there with me and I share small bites of dog friendly food with him.  Since he came from a Puppy Mill situation he does not like being in a crate but I am working with him on that. If you are looking for someone to snuggle and watch Hallmark movies with on a cold day then Lenny is your little guy. Also, he is still learning to go outside but he responds to commands to come back in the house when I open the door. Lenny does not mark or have accidents in the house.  He currently, shares a home with 6 foster siblings and they all get along well. Lenny likes to be near his human and follows me everywhere in the house.Specific Adoption Requirements: Due to his past history he must go to a female, adult only, calm home with a secure fenced yard.  No exceptions! Lenny is a total love bug, wonderful snuggler, very quiet, sweet and demure.  He has a wonderful personality and loves to sleep in my lap while I work from home.

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
