PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! **Hi… I’m Girlie Girl 🐾** I’m a 10-year-old Collie mix, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I just want to be *your* dog. I’m what they call a “Velcro dog.” That means wherever you go… I go too. Walking to the kitchen? I’ll be right there. Cooking dinner? I’d love a cozy bed nearby so I can watch you and smell all your delicious creations. Relaxing on the couch? I’ll be at your feet, looking up at you with my big eyes full of love. Working from home? Knitting me a sweater? Having a quiet cocktail hour? Perfect. I’ll just be here, keeping you company. I don’t know how to jump on the couch (no one ever taught me), but that’s okay — I’m happiest laying close by, getting head scratches and being near my person. I check in on you around the house just to make sure you’re still there. You are very important to me. I’m sweet, loyal, a little shy at first, and sometimes a bit nervous while I’m still learning how this whole “safe forever home” thing works. I handle loud noises well, but I’m still figuring out that when the leash comes out, it doesn’t mean I’m going somewhere scary. I’m learning that I’m safe now. I’m crate trained, house trained, and I’m working really hard on potty routines. If you take me out consistently, I catch on fast! I’m also practicing “come” and “sit.” Treats are a new concept for me, but I’m starting to understand they’re pretty great. I get along well with other dogs — big or small — and I’d really love a dog sibling to help show me the ropes. I’m respectful of older cats, too. Kids over 10 are okay, but I may run off if they approach too quickly. I do best with calm energy. Sometimes I drink water like I’ve just crossed a desert. I’m not sure why — maybe I didn’t always have enough before. My foster is helping me slow down, and I’m doing better every day. I’m eating well, I’ve started doing little happy jumps, and I’m even discovering how fun it is to run. I think my playful side is just beginning to bloom. My dream home is quiet and cozy. Maybe with an older couple, a single person, someone who works from home, or someone retired. I seem to feel especially safe with women — maybe it’s the softer voice. I don’t need a huge yard, but I would love a backyard to explore a little before coming back inside (because let’s be honest, I’d rather be wherever you are). What do I need most? • A dog sibling • A calm home with adults or kids 10+ • A yard to stretch my legs More than anything, I need someone patient. Someone who will show me that this is my home, that I’m staying, and that I can finally relax. Teach me how to chill. Remind me I’m safe. Let me follow you around and love you with my whole heart. I might love water a little too much… But I promise I will love you even more. 💛 Adoption FEE: $350 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Baby Girl! 💖 I’m a 7-year-old Border Collie mix who’s still a bit shy, but I’m slowly learning to trust and open up. I’m a sweet and loving girl at heart, and I can tell I’m going to be the most loyal companion to the right person. It might take me a little time to feel fully comfortable, but I’m making great progress every day. I’ve just started allowing my foster to pet me, and I even love a little attention when I come out of my shell. 🐾 I’m an independent girl who enjoys my alone time, but I also love a peaceful, laid-back environment. I spend most of my day relaxing and enjoying the little things, like laying in the sun in the yard. 🌞 I’m potty trained, crate trained, and pretty good on the leash, but I’m still learning the basics, like "sit" and "stay." Treats are my favorite, and I’m excited to keep learning! 🍖 **My Ideal Home:** * I’d love a quiet home with a patient person who understands I need time to open up. I’m best suited to a smaller family (1-3 people) who will respect my space and give me the time I need to trust them. * I’m not so sure about cats yet, but I think I’d do well with older, laid-back dogs who will allow me to take things at my own pace. I tend to run when there’s a lot of barking, but I always come back when I’m ready! 🐶 * A home with a fenced backyard where I can relax in the sun and enjoy some peace would be perfect for me. **A Word from My Foster:** Baby Girl is a very sweet, shy girl who is really starting to blossom. She’s warming up more and more every day, and I’m so excited to see her progress! She loves her alone time but is also enjoying the little bits of attention she’s getting. She’s a laid-back companion who enjoys being outside, especially in the sun. If you’re patient and understand that trust takes time, Baby Girl will reward you with loyalty and love. 💕 She’s going to make a wonderful addition to a calm and loving home. If you think you can give her the space and patience she needs, she’ll be your devoted companion for life. 🐕💖 Adoption FEE: $300 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Luna Negra is a stunning 2-year-old heeler with the perfect blend of high-energy fun and total cuddle bug sweetness.   She has been working with a trainer and has made wonderful progress. True to her heeler roots, Luna Negra has plenty of energy and absolutely loves to play. She gets excited in the best way and would thrive in an active home that can keep both her mind and body engaged. After she’s had her fun, though, she’s more than happy to settle in close for snuggles with her people.   Luna Negra does well with other dogs and especially enjoys canine friends who are closer to her size and ready to match her playful energy. She has not yet been tested with cats.   She would do best with a family that understands the needs of an intelligent, active working breed and is excited to continue building on the great foundation she already has. In the right home, Luna Negra is going to absolutely shine.   Fully vetted and ready for her forever family. Apply to adopt at compassionkind.org/adopt   ##2658228##

Story
Evie is full of life and energy and loves being with people! She is good with other dogs and not so good with cars, so she needs a home with no cats. She likes long walks and car rides. Because she is so full of energy she needs lots of exercise - running in the yard, or at least 60 minutes a day is recommended. She would love to be a family dog with older children, but just as content with an active couple or single person.  Evie knows some basic commands- sit, shake, sit pretty, and maybe stay! Evie is up to date on vaccines, house and crate trained. She is only 25lbs and 7 years young! She is in the Goldilocks zone is dogs - not to big or small and not too young or old. She is looking for her forever home. Maybe that is with you?    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 12, 2026, 11:29 am
