Story
LEONARDIn Foster HomeDo you have room in your heart for a special-needs dog? We can tell from the way he bobs his head when stressed and circles and spins when he is excited that he has something unique going on in his little head. If we had to guess his breed, we think a terrier mix with maybe some Boston terrier, chihuahua or French bulldog in there. Leonard loves the company of other dogs and would make a great playmate for a dog who enjoys a good game of chase or wrestling. He really needs another dog around in order to be happy. Leonard has come a long way toward being potty trained, given ample opportunities to go outdoors. He also is using potty pads indoors. He has a beautiful shiny blue coat which makes him stand out from the pack. He likes to hang out with the people without having to sit on a lap or be cuddled too much. He seems to be mesmerized by things daily and is always cocking his head in the cutest way. His foster mom works from home and he LOVES that. If you have dreams of him being an obedience champion, you’ll have to let those go. He really is a very simple fella who just wants a good home with a playful dog or two and some people who will be around a lot and let him be who he is. DOB 3/15/22 18 PoundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.

Cuddles is truly a lovebug as well as adorable. She is almost housebroken, but needs work on her leash walking. Cuddles needs an owner that will guide her in a positive manner. Her foster mom says she has a stubborn streak which could stem from her doxie genes. Initially, she can be shy but will warm up quickly especially with some tasty treats.

Story
Harkin Banks came to us from a kill shelter in Arkansas where he ended up by no fault of his own. This is a nice, friendly boy who is good with people & other dogs. He is very sweet, happy but would benefit from some basic obedience and confidence building. His approx. birth date is 04/04/20 and he currently weighs approx. 15#. We are guessing at his breed make up.He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol. He is heart worm negative. His adoption donation is $250 and needs to be cash, cashier's check or money order. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with his forever home. ##788090##

Story
EXPERIENCED AND PATIENT ADOPTER ONLY Ozzie and his brother Archie were from a chihuahua neglect and hoarding situation and were surrendered to a shelter where they made no progress in a year and were close to euthanasia. I worked very hard with them and they're ready for a home of their own but they need a SPECIAL person who can take on their issues. Ozzie was by far the worse of the two but has come the farthest. He LOVES his person and he's opening up to new people but will probably still connect best to one person. Ozzie loves to be held like a baby. He's quite active and loves to hike and go for walks/runs. He is learning to play and enjoys some gentle wrestling. He has learned to give kisses. He would make a great companion for a young person or maybe couple who can be patient in earning his trust. He has been mostly potty trained but still will mark and he will poop on the floor when mad. He kennels well. He is a great dog but needs someone who appreciates that small dog life

Coby is available to meet by appointment only. He is an adorable Pomeranian mixed puppy that will surely liven up your life. We think he will be small to medium sized but there is no guarantee.Coby may be shy at first but he warms up quickly and loves to sit in your lap and crave your attention. As with all puppies he will need training. Coby will probably do best with children over 5 since he is still young and a bit mouthy.

Story
This is Ellie and she will be turning 13 this year. 5 years ago she got attacked by one of our dogs and she is completely blind. She still can figure out how to get around pretty well still. She is completely house trained and tends to keep to herself. I believe that she would do best in a home with her being the only dog. She loves to get pets 24/7. I really just want her to go to a good home with someone that will give her the attention she needs!
