Story
Misty is a shelter favorite! She is in a shelter in SC for a whole year waiting for her chance to come to NH to find a retirement home.  At 7 years she is barely a senior. She's a happy girl with a beautiful golden coat.  She was found as a stray emaciated and neglected and used for breeding, also Heartworm posative. She is heartworm free and healthy. She has been in a foster home with 2 Jack Russel terriers and children and was good with them all.  She is always happy to see puppies. This girl has waited long enough to be loved and give love.November 2, 2024, 6:29 pm

Story
We have a celebrity in the house! Janet Jackson has arrived and she's ready to find her forever home. Janet recently came from our friends at the Humane Society of the United States. At just 4-1/2 years old, she has experienced a very tough life but still craves the love of humans. She instantly won the hearts of staff and volunteers with her affectionate and gentle nature. Janet loves being with people and happily snuggles up after a hearty play session, relaxing hike or some zoomies in the yard. If you're looking for a devoted companion, Janet is your girl! Janet would need to meet any potential canine siblings to ensure compatibility. Her history with cats/small animal is unknown.

**** URGENT! CHIP NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER BY FRI 9/20! **** Chip was saved from euthanasia in a southern shelter due to space. We were able to get him to a foster home but due to personal medical reasons, foster dad cannot keep him past this weekend! His foster dad feels awful about it because Chip is an AMAZING dog - sweet, well behaved, loves everyone he meets, especially other dogs. Even the shelter where he his time was up said “ Chip came into our shelter as a stray. This sweet guy is such a doll baby! He is amazing with other dogs and LOVES to get all the attention!! Knows lots of basic commands!” He is neutered, current on all shots and needs nothing other than the loving home he deserves! He is currently located in Somersworth NH. If you can help by fostering or adopting this boy, please CALL/TEXT Aly at 732-604-0625 ASAP as time is of the essence! Thank you for caring about a pet in urgent need!

Story
  ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Meet Bosworth! This stunning boy was found tied to a park bench in 92-degree heat without food or water, left there for over 7 hours. When animal control declined to intervene as he was not aggressive, I stepped in to ensure his safety. Bosworth has been nothing but a sweetheart since, displaying a gentle and somewhat playful nature, though he much prefers snuggling over playing. He's all muscle—a truly gorgeous boy who would bring joy to any family. Bosworth is well-trained, both potty and crate-trained, and enjoys car rides and walks. He adores any form of attention and is excellent with small children, showing no tendency to jump up on them, suggesting he may have been raised with kids. When it comes to food, he sits patiently, hoping for a treat. He has been fully vaccinated, neutered, and is eagerly waiting to meet his forever family. Please note, pet insurance is required prior to pick up. We recommend Trupanion for its comprehensive coverage of all new injuries and illnesses, direct payments to medical facilities, and unlimited payouts for the lifetime of your pet. Send a copy of your policy to deb@pawsfromafar.org. Paws From Afar advocates for regular adventures for our dogs—they thrive on new sceneries, smells, and experiences, whether it's exploring new paths or swimming in the ocean. All our dogs are up-to-date on vaccines and are altered. The adoption fee is $400. If you see the pup listed, they are still available. We bring our dogs up from the south, and while we don't offer meet and greets, we're happy to connect you with the pup's foster before adoption. To submit your adoption application, please visit pawsfromafar.org. Please do not send an "I'm interested" note—apply instead. We look forward to seeing your applications! ##2190526##
