Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

He is working on crate training, house training, and walking politely on a leash. He is a smart, eager pup who responds well to positive guidance and will continue to thrive with patience, consistency, and plenty of praise. Investing time in his training now will create an incredible lifelong companion.Kirby would love a family that enjoys getting outside and including their dog in everyday activities.

Story
This is a Courtesy Listing and has no affiliation with Petrescue. Please contact the owner listed below directly. Toby is a 6-year-old neutered Basenji who is up to date on all vaccinations and looking for a special home that understands his needs and will give him the love and stability he deserves. He is completely house-trained and spends much of his day happily curled up in his cozy bed, catching up on naps. While he enjoys relaxing indoors, he also needs an active home where he can get regular exercise. He loves running around the backyard on a long lead, playing fetch, and during the winter, you'll find him leaping into the air to catch snowballs—his absolute favorite game! Toby cannot be off-leash and should always be in a securely managed environment. He is also afraid of water and does not enjoy baths. Around the people he knows and trusts, Toby is a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug. He loves curling up in laps, giving kisses, and spending quality time with his family. Having a safe space of his own is very important to him. His crate, complete with a soft bed, serves as his cozy retreat where he feels secure and comfortable. Toby warms up to new people fairly quickly when introductions are calm and positive, especially if they come bearing some of his favorite treats! Cheese, peanut butter, bananas, and just about any kind of meat are sure ways to win him over. He also enjoys chewing on bully sticks and stuffed Kongs. Because of his behavioral needs, Toby requires an experienced and understanding home. He has fear-based aggression, food aggression, and guarding behaviors that will need continued management and respect for his boundaries. He would do best as the only pet in the home, as he is not compatible with other dogs or cats. Toby does well with respectful children ages 8 and older. His ideal home is one that is patient, calm, active, and committed to helping him feel safe and secure. In return, he will reward his trusted people with loyalty, affection, cuddles, and plenty of personality. More than anything, we want to find Toby a loving, cage-free home where he can continue to thrive and enjoy the happy life he deserves. If you are interested in this dog, please contact sarah.winans@guilderlandschools.net
