Story
  Maverick aka Mavi is a stocky little guy who loves everybody.  He is estimated to be about 10 years old and weighs in around 15 lbs.  He loves meeting other dogs although doesn't interact much with them after the initial greeting. He lives with two small dogs and has no problem sharing space; he shows no guarding issues with humans or other dogs.  Although he is not a fan of going for walks, he enjoys exploring the back yard and is good for going outside during the day. He wears a belly band diaper at night because of occasional accidents. He is not a snuggler so does not sleep with his people, but does like to have his bed in their room.  It is not known if he is good with children or cats but based on his laid back personality would probably be fine although a home with toddlers children would not be recommended.  He is not a fan of nail trimming and does not like his face touched but allows face kisses and ear scratches.  Grooming is better tolerated after some Gabapentin and Trazodone but still requires patience.  Mavi is an amazing boy who catches on quickly to changes in routine and would bring joy to any home.  PS he snores        Hello my name is Maverick and I’d like to tell you a little about myself As you can see by my pictures I only have one eye. To keep my other eye healthy my foster mom puts drops in it twice a day, I can get around the house and outside just fine, but my foster mom or foster dad have to carry me down the porch steps, so I don’t fall.   I love to lay in the sun and am pretty laid back (although not much of a cuddler) and enjoy as many scratches and pets as you have to offer. I enjoy meeting new people (especially when they have a treat for me). I also like meeting other dogs, my tail starts wagging right away. When I came into the rescue my foster mom took me to the veterinary clinic she works at and I made lots of new friends there – both human and canine   At night I wear a belly band and when they go to work because I have had accidents, so this helps. I’m not a picky eater and like my senior diet. I love my treats and will sometimes use my voice when I want something, otherwise I’m a quiet guy. I like to spend my days hanging out in bed or on the floor near my foster family. I hope you like the photos and video of me I can’t wait to meet you so you can see in person how great I am, my foster mom says so.  Thank you for reading my bio.  Woofingly yours, Maverick    October 12, 2024, 10:43 am

Story
Sassy is an approximately 5-6 year old Shih tzu who came from a puppy mill. She is a delightful, sweet girl who has thankfully been released from a life of breeding and producing puppies for profit. While initially shy, she has blossomed into a fun, happy girl with a zest for life with a tail that just never stops wagging! She's been spayed, had a dental and is now up-to-date with all her vetting. She has a small cherry eye that we are working on getting repaired but does not interfere with her vision or cause pain. Sassy had a grooming prior to coming into rescue that entailed a very short cut due to severe matting. She's still a bit itchy but getting over that day by day.  Sassy is housetrained now and goes out with the other dogs to do her business.  She is not vocal or destructive when left alone.  She is a wonderful house guest and is easy to live with and even easier to love as per her foster family. Sassy now knows how to walk on a leash.  Although she can still be skittish it becomes less and less each day. Ideal home would be a house with a fenced yard (another dog would be nice for her but not mandatory) If you are interested in meeting Sassy, please complete our adoption app at: https://www.speakingofdogs.com/adoption/dog-adoption-application-2/  October 12, 2024, 10:43 am
