Story
Dottie’s story has become the norm. Her owner went to a nursing home and Dottie was left homeless. Her owner loved her a lot…with food, so Dottie is currently on a weight loss journey. She has gone through a lot in a short period of time, but she hasn’t let it get her down. This 4 yr old is past the puppy stage and is potty and crate trained, but would really enjoy sleeping in bed with her new family. She loves meeting people and will show her appreciation by flipping over for a belly rub. Can you be her happily ever after? Adoption fee $400. If you are interested in Dottie please fill out an application at www.adoptablefriends.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Our beautiful April is looking for her forever home. She is an 18 month old maybe Austalian Shepard mix! She has been hanging out in a foster home learning how to be a good houseguest. April was found running the streets with another mom and some puppies. She loves other dogs, she likes to walk with other dogs and hang around the house watching tv with her foster cousin Juno, a black Lab! From her foster mom: “April is a sweetheart. She needs a young family with another pup to roll around with. She's potty trained, she loves to go on walks and observe the squirrels. She's very social once she feels comfortable with you. She doesn't like loud noises, but loves classical music. She's a kitchen dog, always wanting to know what you're doing in there...and is there going to be any chicken for her. April, like many women, has a shoe obsession. She doesn't chew the shoes but she will pick one up and carry it around. Her favorite is my rubber garden shoe. She also loves to look at herself in the mirror. I have yet to hear her bark. She was spayed the other day and I heard one little whimper that night. Otherwise, she simply laid down next to me, lifted one leg so I could see what had happened to her and give her a little belly rub. She is used to riding in the car now. I have taken her on short trips to acclimate her to the car. She starts out on the floor, but soon moves up to the sitting on the seat in back and is no longer afraid to get in or out of the car. Today, we made a quick trip to Petco to look for a toy. She was so well behaved and sweet. If you are reading this and thinking about meeting Ms. April, I guarantee that you'll never regret it. She's a wonderful girl who will be your loving and devoted pooch. She is an absolute delight.” If you'd like to meet April apply at projecthopearf.org !Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 11, 2026, 12:41 am

Mario (aka Snickers) is ready for his forever home! This boy is the sweetest! In addition to being so handsome, He LOVES to snuggle and give affection. He gets along with all of the people that he meets. He adores his dog friends and is more submissive so will let someone else be in charge. He's a good boy with some basic training. He has already mastered the doggie door at his foster home and catches on to new routines and tricks quickly. Smart and handsome! We also found out that his original name was Snickers so he answers to Snickers and Mario. He's the dog with many names! He weighs 42 lbs and is about 1.5 years old. Let's find him a home for the holidays!

Story
Wynter (DOB 12/7/24) is just as beautiful and gentle as her name suggests — sweet, playful, and friendly with everyone she meets. She’s the kind of pup who’s always up for a game of fetch in the yard or a cozy snuggle on the couch. 💙 She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to share her adventures with! Because Wynter can be a little sensitive to noise and commotion, she’s looking for a calmer home with kids 12+ and a secure fenced yard where she can run, explore, and feel safe while being her playful self. Wynter isn’t just another rescue dog — she’s truly something special. With her gentle spirit and big heart, she’s patiently waiting for the family who will love her forever. 🐾 ✨ If you’re searching for a loyal, kind, and fun-loving best friend… Wynter might be your perfect match. 💙 Could Wynter be the missing piece of your family? Fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ Wynter was born at our rescue and has only known a life where she is safe, cared for, and loved. However, this girl has never known the comforts of a home! We would love to see Wynter find a foster home, to help her transition into her happily ever after! (And if that foster turns into forever we’d love that for her too!). If you’ve ever thought about fostering, please reach out to our rescue! Wynter has committed to bring endless cuddles, and laughter, can you provide the love? We’ll take care of the rest!
