Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.JoJo was rescued from a local shelter. He was very matted and had not been properly cared for. He now has a new lease on life and is a happy loving boy. Unfortunately it seems as though he was never kept in a crate so he likes to bark when crated. He has also not met cats before now so he is VERY interested in them and it may not be a good idea to have him in a home with cats. If interested, please fill out an online application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 4:26 pm

Story
Meet Tabasco, a small but resilient pup, weighing in at around 15 lbs, who has come a long way from her tough beginnings. Much like the spicy sauce she’s named after, Tabasco has a spark of spirit that shines through once she’s comfortable, though it’s wrapped in a quiet, sweet demeanor.When she first arrived, Tabasco was scared and unsure of the world around her, with her fur severely matted. But just like a well-crafted sauce, it took time, care, and the right ingredients of patience and kindness for her to transform into the loving companion she is today. While she prefers a calm, peaceful home where she can feel secure, Tabasco still enjoys moments of fun—especially when it involves a game of fetch. She’s ready for a family that understands her gentle heart but still knows how to keep things playful, tossing a ball for her to chase. Due to her past Tabasco feels as though she needs to protect things that are hers, she will need an adopter who understands this and is willing to work with her on it.Tabasco is looking for a home that can embrace her quiet strength and allow her to continue blossoming into the confident, affectionate dog she’s becoming. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: acskc.org/adoption/adoption-applicationOnce your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive!

Story
Nyla is a 3 years old, 17lbs full of life dog that wants to play all day long. She is sweet and friendly. Human oriented, dog friendly, doesn't mess with cats. She is super cute when she trots around with her toy in her mouth. She LOVES toys and loves to just carry them around with her. Every human she meets is her new best friend. She is very playful and is happy with any game you want to play, fetch, tug, she is down for anything! She is crate trained and dog friendly. She is a little ham that adores attention. Her whole body wiggles when getting pets. Good with kids but not a candidate for high energy kids. Nyla has a very restricted adoption radius of 25 miles maximum of zip code 20906 if you fit the criteria and would like to meet her then please fill out our application here: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd

Story
Hi. I am a 1 year old tiny, brown and white female Shitsu who comes as a bonded pair with my 2 year old morkie brother, Zeke. You see, we were brought up together and depend on each other. I was originally found wandering the streets of San Antonio when I was a young puppy. Zeke came from a breeder. I am good with all people, including children. I get along well with other small dogs. Not sure about cats or large dogs since foster mom doesn't have either. I love to snuggle and sleep in the bed with my brother and foster mom. I am good on a leash and love chew toys and bones. I am pretty calm but can be a bit of a barker. I like going for car rides. I am kennel trained and do best being kenneled with my brother. I am pee pad trained and am working on potty training. I do the best when I am on a consistent schedule. So, if you have a lap big enough for a pair of lap-loving tiny dogs, we are your guys. Have your peeps contact my peeps and we'll get this love fest started. Adoption fee local in Texas is $700 for the both of them, the out of state fee is $1200, this includes the transport fee for both of them as well as the fuel surcharge.

Story
20 pounds of love and fun in a 15 pound container! They say good things come in small packages, and I am a perfect example. In addition to being housebroken and crate trained, check out my charming smile – I’m irresistible! I love taking walks and being outside, and I am happy around both people and animals. Dogs? I do well after a quick sniff. Cats? I like to play with them! Small kiddos? I am happy having them walk me on a leash and reward them with lots of kisses afterwards. I am happiest when I’m hanging out with my family and my foster Mom says I’m very gentle and loving. Bonus points if you don’t have a lot of stairs in your home – I’m fine going up, but coming back down scares me, so we’re working on that! If you’re looking for a sweet, young-at-heart pup with a killer grin, I could be the perfect fit!If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application – and choose me, Lenny! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). We’ve been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and we’ve started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Story
Are you looking for the perfect friend? Meet Bucky, a charming 8-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love. His sweet and friendly nature will win you over in no time. Bucky's mellow temperament makes him a perfect companion for those peaceful afternoons spent reading a book or watching your favorite show. He enjoys a good cuddle and is always up for some affection. Bucky is easy-going and adapts well to new environments. His calm demeanor and loving personality make him an ideal pet for any household. Bucky found himself at the shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. Sadly, Bucky had two owners and neither bothered to ever take him to see a vet. But we changed all of that! He was neutered at the shelter and our vet treated his corneal ulcer. Bucky has a condition that is fairly common to Shih Tzu's, dry eye. But it's easily treated with daily eye drops. If you're looking for a loyal friend who will bring warmth and joy to your life, Bucky is the one for you. FLFO requires a home visit therefore adopters must be within 40 miles of Baldwin MD.
