Story
Honey & Jax are an amazingly sweet senior duo looking for a retirement home. Their whole world was turned upside down when they were relinquished last week due to personal issues with their family. Honey is 13 years old, Jax 9 and they’ve spent their whole lives together. Honey has been very sad and shut down, but Jax is always looking out for her. These babies don’t have a mean bone in their body and just want to curl up in your lap.Honey had some medical issues that were taken care of, she had infected teeth pulled and a lipoma removed from r her leg. She and Jax both suffer from dry eye and have just started medication to help.Do you have it in your heart to welcome these gentle dogs into your home?!

Story
Emily is looking for a great fur-ever home! She is a 10 pound, female shih-tzu born on 12/05/21. Emily was released by a breeder who decided they did not need her anymore and has never been bred. She has lived in a cage her entire life, so she is not house or leash trained. Because Emily is very skittish and fearful, she will do best in a quiet home with a patient, experienced adopter (with no young children) willing to work with her and let her get comfortable at her own pace. She would do best in a male-only household. She will need a fenced yard with another calm, socialized dog to teach her the ropes. She is starting to show her adventurous side by exploring her foster home, enjoying looking out the window, and being outside. Emily is spayed, up to date on shots, micro-chipped, and heart-worm & fecal tested negative. We require an adoption application, phone interview, virtual house check, and meet and greet with your entire family. For an adoption application, please visit us at https://www.petprofilerescue.org or at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1S5v9x1oGSYLBSfheZJ_zSvkIHoT3Fe_xnsq5V75IX9w/viewform?fbclid=IwAR0rU1zQezgZhhC_01_JpMFhujOq40cu8Xl4xKdiZ0b1L-3Pwm1Et-XI3K4&edit_requested=true If you have already submitted an application to us, email us at petprofilerescue@gmail.com to express your interest in this dog.

Story
Meet Howie, a sweet and loyal companion ready to steal your heart! This charming pup adores cuddling and will happily be your shadow, always checking in to make sure you’re by his side. Howie is wonderfully gentle and gets along with kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes, though he may need a little time to warm up to larger canine friends. He’s also a leash-walking pro and loves playful adventures—tennis balls are his absolute favorite! Howie thrives with structure and consistency. He’s housebroken but may have an occasional accident if not let out on time (he’s an old man and dogs should be let out on time anyway!). Howie does enjoy a good trash can treasure hunt, so a secure setup is key. This clever boy can open slightly ajar doors and will let you know when he needs water or a snack. While Howie is an escape artist at heart, keeping him on a leash or in a secure yard ensures he stays safe. Howie’s love for his people is boundless. Whether he’s lounging with you or playing chase with a puppy, he brings joy to every moment. He’s ready for a family who appreciates his quirks and will give him the love and attention he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal and playful best friend, Howie is your guy. Looking to add a senior pup like Howie to your family? Apply to adopt here: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what Petfinder, AdoptaPet and other aggregation services state, the FIRST STEP is to submit an application through our website, not send us a message through their platform. Thank you!)
