Story
I am pretty sure my rescuers were HUNGRY when they named us. Cashew is my name and I am as delightful as a sweet n nutty n salty treat. My babies were named after food too! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers! When we were found, we were HUNGRY TOO! We were "living" at a gas station in the 90 to 100 degree temperatures and unbelievable flooding. 🌧 We are SURVIVORS! As mama to this crew I was so very scared for our safety but was also scared of the people helping us... fast forward to today! I love my people and my babies are growing and finding their own homes. It's my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!!

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.

Story
Hi there I am NalaI am a mature, self confident dog who would love to find a forever home. I live now with other dogs who I love to play with, cats who I respect and play with if they want to, and kids who like to pet me. I have not had much experience with toys, but I do love a good game of tug. I like to be active, but I am good to just chill out with you too. Nothing like an evening of cuddling with the family to make my day complete.I like car rides, I do not get sick, and I stay calm. My foster says I make a great copilot. I know all my basic commands like sit and stay and I love to walk. When I am walking with my foster I stay close and walk at their pace. If it sounds like we would be a good fit, then just fill in the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Just waiting for you.NalaThis dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

💙 Name: Klein 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 6 years old (Born in July 2020) 💙 Weight: 9 kg / 19.84 lb 💙 Klein's News Account: @klein___55 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. * Diagnosed with a benign sialocele (salivary gland cyst) under her neck. Veterinary evaluation confirmed it requires no special treatment or major concern. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Klein was originally rescued as a young puppy alongside four siblings from a slaughterhouse in Jeongeup and moved to the local shelter. A year later, when the siblings and Klein were placed on the euthanasia list, Adogs stepped in to urgently rescue all four of them. 3️⃣ Basic Information * People Reaction: Slightly fearful of people, but has high curiosity and affection. Will approach strangers to sniff them, with overall responsiveness continually improving. Still wary of adult men and may hide behind the guardian, but has become comfortable enough with a familiar middle-aged man to run up to him for treats. Greets the guardian with a wagging tail and affection; showed little interest in young children. * ​Dog Reaction: At dog cafés, mostly stays near humans, occasionally visiting liked dogs to sniff them. Dislikes overly pushy or clingy dogs. Dislikes sharing a stroller with another dog, but shows no severe rejection. * ​Cat Reaction: Excitement around cats has decreased significantly, but may still try to chase them during walks, so sudden leash tension requires caution. * ​Separation Anxiety: Showed symptoms of separation anxiety, but is improving. Still tries to open doors or search for the foster caregiver, though can now rest comfortably on the couch alone. May chew on the shoe rack when left alone due to lingering anxiety. * ​Potty Training: Recently started doing indoor pottying. Has a 90% accuracy rate when pads are laid out, though aiming isn't always precise. Strongly prefers outdoor pottying. * ​Grooming & Hygiene: Tolerates baths and brushing well despite not loving them. Runs away from hair dryers, toothbrushes, and nail clippers out of fear, requiring two people to manage. Brushing goes smoothly when held on the floor. Sheds during summer and winter. * ​Walking: Enjoys running and playing, but has an escape instinct and may try to dash out when doors open. Using a double leash (collar + harness) is recommended. Sensitive to heat and tires quickly on summer walks. ​* Motion Sickness: No motion sickness, but gets scared of evening neon signs and lights, seeking comfort in human arms. * ​Biting / Chewing: Has never shown aggression toward people, but tends to chew on electrical cords or wire doors. Once showed a defensive warning nip toward another dog while eating. * ​Barking: Howls after the foster caregiver leaves, and may whine briefly out of joy upon their return. * ​Likes: Chicken breast meat sticks and walks. Loves plush, cozy spots and enjoys chewing hard objects like charger cables or plastic hangers. Likes warmth, enjoys wearing clothes, and sleeps much more comfortably when dressed. * ​Dislikes: Strangers and loud noises. Uncomfortable sitting on cold floors and hesitant to enter dark, narrow kennels or crates. Trembles in fear when seeing people kick balls at dog cafés. * ​Tricks: Commands "Sit" well when treats are involved. * ​Personality: Prefers quiet, comfortable environments and builds trust gradually. Expressiveness, affection, and patience have improved significantly while staying with the foster family.
