Story
TOBY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!   This little fella is a real love bug!  I'm hoping one of the kind of adopters who call and ask for a sweet little lap dog will decide he's the right one.  He wants to be with his human all the time,,, so needs someone who is around home most of the time. He's thru his vetting,,,, he got a dental done this week and  is ready to go.  I figured a little preview might be a good idea so you got to see his "before pics".... now I have a couple newer ones to share We think Toby is about 10 years old and he weighs about 14 pounds.  So far, he's been happy to interact with every human he's met.  He's been fine with all the other dogs, but doesn't seem to have much interest in them, one way or the other,,,, he wants a person.  We haven't had any opportunity to see how he is with cats.August 19, 2024, 2:06 pm

Story
Hi friends! My name is Turtle and I'm looking for a family to enjoy my golden years with. I'm around 9 years old and think there's many advantages to adopting a perfectly aged dog like me. For example, I'm fully potty trained and enjoy the simple things in life, such as snuggling and siestas on the couch in the afternoon. I also REALLY enjoy food time and have been told I make the most hilarious face while eagerly awaiting my dinner bowl. While I take a bit for me to warm up, once I do I'll be your shadow. I love my foster dad and snuggle up to him every night. My people are my favorite thing and I hate being separated from them. The good news is that I enjoy car rides and would love to ride along with my new family for errands and adventures. It would also be super fun if my family is up for short walks when the weather is nice outside. Turtle is 14 lbs and has a 6 out of 6 heart murmur. He takes medication for the heart murmur and his new family will need to be able to afford the 2 meds. However, he has no apparent symptoms and is just a sweet, easy pup! He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. A fenced yard is required to adopt Turtle (no underground fences). Please submit an application at wetnosesanimalrescue.org if you are interested in adopting Turtle.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Daphne is a sweet little soul who has a lot of spunk for her 10 years. She is independent but very happy. Her left eye had to be removed and she has limited vision in the right eye but that doesn't stop her from exploring outdoors or playing with friends. Lying in the sun on the deck is another favorite. She is mellow and the best mix of active and chill. Daphne loves to be around her people, curling up beside them in bed every night. If you are looking for a mellow girl to be your companion, please submit an application at wetnosesanimalrescue.org.

Story
Meet Dior! This loving girl craves the attention of her human and would make a great companion for someone looking to shower her in love. When not getting pets, she likes to play with her toys and follow her foster mom around. We think Dior would do best as the only dog with someone who has the time to give her the affection she craves. In return, she'll give you lots of kisses and stick by your side through thick and thin. To meet Dior, submit an application at WetNosesAnimalRescue.org.
