Story
Starla is an absolute STAR! She is a 6'ish-year-old, 15-pound beautiful Bichon.  Starla is looking for a forever home with her best friend, Sparkler!   Starla is a sweet girl who enjoys napping in the sunshine and rolling in grass.  She even enjoys running in the snow. She looks forward to her evening snuggle time on the sofa. Starla has a fun, sweet personality, especially when she is with her bestie Sparkler.  They both clearly love each other and enjoy playing together (Check out a cute video of them here)! They can take a little bit to warm up to new people, but when they do, they are super sweet and adorable. Their ideal home is in the suburbs with a securely fenced yard.  They both love other dogs and walk nicely on the leash together. Starla is in excellent health.  To learn more about Starla and Sparkler, please email adoptme@cockerspanielrescue.com.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 19, 2025, 5:25 pm

Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Momo. • Personality: Loves people, loves friends, affectionate Momo loves people and is very affectionate. Momo loves almost everyone she meets, but if she has bad memories, she might show discomfort if suddenly lifted, especially if her belly is touched. People who often praise her with positive expressions like "pretty," "good girl," and "the best" will be the best fit for Momo. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Momo gets along well with all dog friends. She has never shown rejection or dislike, but she has not yet experienced outdoor walks and meeting new dogs in public. We will need to observe Momo’s reactions when she meets different dogs in the future. She would do well with a calm companion, but whether she has a cohabiting dog or not does not seem to significantly affect her life. -Adults/Kids: She gets along with all the activists and volunteers she meets at the facility. / Not tested with kids • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Momo has not yet had a proper walk. Once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will provide her with as much walking training as possible, but the adopter will need to continue practicing walking with her. • Housetrained: Momo currently only uses indoor pads. She still needs training, but once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will continue pad training, though the adopter will need to continue training with her as well. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking but cannot hear his voice (due to a surgery in the puppy mill) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes people, touches, treats, and comfortable places! / Not a fan of sudden lifting, especially when her belly is touched. • Health: Momo doesn’t make noise when barking, possibly due to illegal procedures performed at the breeding facility. She had surgery on her right patella and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The right mammary gland 1-2 has benign lesions, which have been treated with cryotherapy. Her left mammary gland 4 had malignant lesions, so a mammary surgery was performed. Also, given that the dog was rescued from a puppy mill, we believed she was likely pregnant in the past.
