Story
Who`s gray and white and ready to snuggle with her people all day? I`ll give you a hint ... it`s me! My name is Chloe, and I`m looking for a furever home that has a lifetime supply of belly rubs, sunny patches for naps, and fancy dog treats.Aside from being adorable, I am also deaf, so I`m most comfortable when people approach me from the front so I can see them coming. Like anyone else, I`m not a big fan of having anybody sneak up behind me! I LOVE to be with people and will happily spend the day by your side (especially if you`re good at giving belly rubs). I don`t mind other dogs, but I would also be fine as an only pup getting your love all to myself. I will need eye ointment twice a day, but I really enjoy having it applied! I do well on a leash for walks, but prefer not to be in a crate -- I`ll wait for you to come home from any outing by napping on the couch instead. Toys aren`t really my thing, but I will NEVER say no to a good treat! So, if you find yourself with extra love to give, you should come and take me home. I`ll take all the love you`ve got!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, Chloe! 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
Hello, my name is Polo and I`m looking for a new home. My last family didn`t pay much attention to me, and they didn`t treat me very good either. I didn`t realize it until I got to this shelter and people started being nice to me and doing nice things for me. It was then that I understood what I had been missing all along.When I got here, my hair was long and filthy, and it was full of knots. It was also full of nasty fleas! My hair was so long that it touched the floor! The knots were pulling on my skin and made it so sore! I`ll admit - I was a little grumpy with the girls when they tried to help me that first day, but it hurt and I didn`t trust anyone.They gave me some medicine to make me sleepy, and when I woke up I didn`t have any of those nasty mats anymore and there were no more fleas either! At first I didn`t understand and it felt strange, but it was good to be rid of all that! The girls said they try not to shave dogs in the middle of this cold weather, but they had no choice with me. Take a look at my `before` pictures, and you can see how bad it was.Right now I may be a little crazy-looking, but my hair will grow back, and when it does, I`ll be a very handsome young ShihTzu! I`m on the bigger side - around eighteen pounds - so you probably won`t trip over me like those wee little ones.Because I still have a few trust issues, I`ll need to go into a home with no little children. It will take me some time to learn to trust my new people, so bear with me. I never had toys before I came here, and now I`m a bit protective of the ones I have. Pretty soon, I`ll be playing ball and squeaking stuffies like a pro!I also HATE leashes. I hate the kind that go over your head, the kind that attach to your collar, and even the kind that attach to your harness. In fact, if I even SEE a leash, I`ll try to attack it! For that reason, I`m going to need a fenced yard, because no one is putting a leash on me if I have anything to say about it. You can draw your own conclusions as to `why` I despise leashes so much.I`ve learned to enjoy the attention of the girls here at the shelter because I know they`re not going to hurt me. When I get a new family, I will learn to love them just as much. It`s not going to happen in a day, and it might not happen in a week, but eventually I will trust and love them, and I will spend the rest of my life at their side.A lot has happened to me in my two short years of life on this
