I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here. She is a frisky, busy miss seeking an adventurous family to join and have a blast with. Meo adores hanging with people and she really LOVES getting exercise. If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job. FYI, Meo will do best as the only dog in your home, but she`s more than up to being the sole source of your affection, She also loves getting great meals (and she needs some as she arrived as a skinny stray) and oodles of love. Ready for a great new friend to go on long walks with? Meo is SUPER ready for you.Check out Meo`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyE8WSXxNGU

I`m in a FOSTER HOME! If you would like to set up a time to meet with me, please email my foster parent at mhsg95@gmail.comMy name will ring a bell for many a literature fan and, just as for my literary namesake in Vladimir Nabokov`s novel, things were not always so easy for me. I found myself at the shelter one day with my doggie pal and couldn`t go back to my previous home. I have 5 years of life experience on my resume, so just enough to make a settled and loyal companion. I love people, am house trained and do just fine being at home by myself. I`m an enthusiastic walker (and can get a little too interested in those pesky squirrels). And I can also be particular when making new doggie friends. I would like to enter a wonderful new chapter of my life full of kisses, cuddles, and playtime! And by the way, while I am gentle with children, I would probably do best with school aged kids since I can get excited (overbearing) with giving kisses!And a nice volunteer recently said this about me: `My goodness!! How he no one snatched this sweet lady up already! She is sooooo polite with loose leash walks. Loves some fetch followed by cuddles! Oh and she gives the sweetest, happiest smiles whenever she sees you!`Yup, that sounds exactly like me! I can`t wait to meet you!

I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parent at jssjsmith@comcast.net.Cordelia is an adorable young dog, about a year old. She’s got the greatest brown and white pattern: I’ m seeing a cow costume this Halloween, are you? Cordelia is a sweet and friendly dog, but she would do with a little gentleness as she’s not a big fan of shelter life. Please take her home today!Check out Cordelia`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/63WgDUXlIgU

I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at delontehughes@gmail.com.Meet Artemis — the dog, the myth, the legend!Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, would be proud to have such a noble canine named after her. Artemis the dog has a striking brindle coat that is sure to captivate all who behold him, just as his namesake`s beauty and grace were unmatched. Together, you can explore the great outdoors, communing with nature like Artemis of old. Found as a stray, Artemis has been showing his power to adapt, meeting new people and enjoying some time in the presence of other pups. Artemis is well behaved and really good on walks (though he is strong) and enjoys meeting other people. After long walks he loves to lay on top of you and relax. But this active boy is always ready for more play!! Hunting for a canine companion who loves treats and playing fetch? Meet Artemis today and your heart is sure to soar to the top of Mount Olympus.

Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! To meet me, email my foster parent at fosterdogparent22@gmail.com. Paris is a snuggly, playful, easy-going 40-pound middle-aged lady. In her foster home, she`s living with another dog and is potty-trained, crate-trained, and easy to walk.When Paris came to stay with her foster family, she was tired, timid, and very underweight. No one knew exactly how old she was, but her bright eyes and wagging tail told us that there was a playful and loving girl in there. After a bath, lots of yummy food, and plenty of scratches and snuggles, she has transformed into loving a playful lady. Paris has enjoyed learning about her new home and now loves to hop up onto the couch to snuggle with Mommy or play with her foster brother, an Italian Greyhound named Alfie!Paris is an easy-going low-energy girl who likes to know where her people are, but isn`t afraid to relax on her own. On days when Dad is working from home, Paris enjoys nothing better than laying on her bed in the office (and is always ready for a scratch or a snuggle when Dad needs a break from meetings). Paris also enjoys her evening walks with Mom and Dad and Alfie! She loves to play but definitely needs a good nap afterwards.Paris walks beautifully on a leash and doesn`t pull or lunge when she sees another dog. (She will bark if barked at or if someone comes up unexpectedly, but won`t pull or act aggressive.) She does get a bit scared when out and about, so she needs a calm encouraging word and scratch on the head to let her know that she is safe and will be going back home.Paris is potty trained and goes happily into her crate when it`s time for bed. At night and when we go out for short periods (1 hour or so) we leave Paris free to roam. Occasionally she will get up and look for another place to nap, but usually stays where she was when we left. She is not big on exploring and has never tried to find out what dad`s shoes taste like when left unattended! For longer periods we shut her in her crate and have had no problems and usually come home to a sleeping puppy.Paris is a lady that has found her voice...and does bark when she hears people outside or unexpected noises, so probably not ideal for apartment life. She also takes a while to get comfortable around younger kids (under 10- the noise and unpredictability unnerve her) but warms up quickly to everyone else. Paris is still a bit unsure about stairs and is making progress each
