My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello,
Our names are Stormy, Breezy, Skye, Willow, and Echo. We are the sweetest girls you have ever met.

We are happy, active and the best love bugs. The world is our playground and we love it. Our foster mom says over and over, "we are too smart".

We love the water to splash around. Our ideal family is sort of active (I like camping, hiking, playing in the water). But, I love the kids.

Please request an application from alittlelonger2home@gmail.com. When you receive the application, please fill out completely including your three references email addresses. Your references cannot be related to you.

We are very careful with our adoptions for these orphans are in our homes. They are family to us. If it does not feel right, there is probably a reason. The adoption is cancelled.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done community service. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans to adopt with families who really wanted them. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2500 dogs/ puppies and cats.
