Story
Peach is a sweet girl, 5 yr old and 9 lbs. Our organization took her in after the owners had family issues and they couldn't take care of her any longer. Peach is a very loving girl,, goes on a pee pad, gets along with other dogs and adult humans. She would be the perfect companion to someone that works from home or is retired. She loves her humans and prefers a calm environment, therefore an adult only family or with older kids (12+) would be ideal. Peach is smart too!!! This girl is a true gem and deserves a loving family. Please submit your application at www.drwb.org

Story
Meet Earl — 10 pounds of pure “hold my treat, I got this” energy. 🐾🔥 At 15 months old, he’s basically a toddler with fur: curious, adorable, and occasionally chaotic. This little dude is a pro-level cuddler. If you sit down, Earl will be in your lap before your brain can even process the moment. Snuggle ambush unlocked. 💥❤️ He’s also a tiny athlete. Walks? Yes. Playtime? Double yes. Mental stimulation? Triple yes with a side of zoomies. 🏃‍♂️💨 Potty training? We’ll call it “a work in progress.” Earl is trying, okay? He just needs a human who believes in him… and maybe a reminder or two. Or ten. 😂🚽✨ If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart and even bigger personality, Earl’s your guy. 💛🐶

Story
From the moment she was pulled from the shelter, Catrina has been a friend to all. She is so friendly, sweet, and snuggly. With her little eyes and misshapen mouth, she looks like a darling little opossum. The day I took her home she was great in the car. Once in the house, she acted like she had been there all along. She loves her foster sisters, and doesn't mind her cat foster brothers at all. She is house-trained/pad trained. She is excellent on the leash and seems to like walks or just strolls around the yard. Catrina is quiet as a mouse and has only barked when one of her sisters is making a commotion. She definitely tries to act as a protector if she thinks something is happening to one of the other dogs. She was treated for possible pneumonia and is now feeling much better. Despite not having many teeth left, she loves meal time and is able to eat a mixture of soft food and tiny kibble. She will likely still need a dental to take care of some yucky molars. Catrina is not on any long term meds. (Discussion of doing echo to see if her infrequent cough/hack is heart related? If it is related to her heart, then probably will need lifetime meds. Grade 3 to 4 murmur, but stable right now.) Now that she is feeling better, we are working on fattening her up and getting her as healthy as we can for her next chapter. If you would love a sweet, snuggly Velcro companion who doesn't mind sharing you with other Velcro companions, Catrina is your girl!Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org
