Story
I can’t believe I even have to do this but I’m looking for a really good home for my dog. She’s housed trained she doesn’t use the bathroom in the house, she doesn’t chew things only toys she a really good dog. She doesn’t like the rain or wet grass and she loves sleeping in her cage with the door left open and she loves sheets. She’s good with big dogs not little ones and she doesn’t really like cats either. Remy would like to be the center of attention so a house with no little kids is preferred she does good with older kids. My daughter is really scared of all animals we had to rehome my cat and I tried to give it time but she just to scared of her. I would like for Remy to have a home with a backyard so she can run around something I haven’t been able to give her cause we live in an apartment building.

Dear Santa, Last year I was a very good girl, and I still got the shaft. This year, I've also been a very good girl, and I'm really worried that I'm going to get the shaft again. Please help out a sweetheart from the Island of Misfit toys and bring me a family to call my very own. I don't mind being a little bit of a misfit toy. On the contrary, when this wonderful rescue took me in, I had a very damaged eye and they had it removed because of the pain and irritation it was causing me. It's really no big deal, and it kind of makes me look like I'm constantly winking at you which is very fun!! Looking for love, Butterscotch To help Butterscotch's new family out with any training, accoutrements, treatos....whatever this good beauty needs to get started off on the right paw, her very own Secret Santa has donated $100 toward her adoption fee.

Loyalty is second nature to Butterscotch, making her an ideal companion. She is a one-eyed wonder, turning her perceived handicap into a charming uniqueness. Adopt Butterscotch and experience the joy of having a loyal, playful, and gentle friend who will fill your life with love and laughter. Butterscotch is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. This dog has tested negative for heartworms.

Story
Dear Santa, I've been a very good boy this year, but I still haven't found my forever home! Can you help a good boy out and send my family my way please? I love my foster family, but I know my forever family is out there somewhere lookinig for me. They just need a little nudge from you! I had quite the adventure this year. I flew on a private plane far away and thought that would be my forever happy ever after, but sadly, that family wasn't ready to add another family member after all so I took a long road trip with that nice family back to TN. Since then, I've had my bags packed for my trip to CT, but it hasn't been my time just yet. I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle, please!! Love, Maddox To help Maddox's new family with training, accoutrements, treatos....whatever they need to get started off on the right paw, Maddox's very own Secret Santa has donated $100 toward his adoption fee. Maddox is a great young boy looking for his forever home! He has learned to walk on a leash and has mastered his pottytraining. He is approx 20 months old so having an active family would be a plus for this boy. He loves to run and play and gets along great with all the foster dogs he lives with. He would get along great with the kiddos but with his size and activeness, caution would need to be taken just because he is so stout. He would make a great companion for any size family but someone who likes to take walks or jogs would be ideal for Maddox. Maddox is ready to travel now. Go ahead and apply for this handsome young pup as he would love to have his forever home to call his own.
