This sweetie is being fostered in East TN Athebs area. Out of state welcome. The adoption fee listed here on Adopt a pet includes the cost of transport. We use Rescue Riders for our pet transport needs because they are the best. Meet Pete! This little guy is super sweet once he gets to know you. He takes a little bit to warm up to new people. He eight years young. He’s active and spunky and also loving and sweet. He is good with most other dogs. No small children for this guy. He needs his space to be respected and most young children don’t understand this. Unsure about cats. His vet records show him as a French bulldog mix. He could be a chihuahua and frenchie mix. He is 16 lbs. he will need a family that understands the breed mix and how to show rules and boundaries without rules and boundaries he will take charge and be your leader and that is not what you want he needs to know you are his leader and you will take care of him. He is house trained and crate trained. Apply at petpath.org

Story
Ollie is an 8 year old chihuahua mix. He loves very quickly and more than anything loves to snuggle (mostly in between legs) I’m looking for someone who has the time and patience for my little guy. He loves to walk, so be prepared. He has some separation anxiety, and can be trouble on the leash. I would for the most part describe him as lazy, loving, and unforgettable.

Story
This is Peanut. Peanut is a neutered male Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, he weighs approximately 10 pounds, up to date with his shots and he is about a year old. He is about 50% house trained. He knows to go potty outside, he's just not sure how to ask to go outside yet, so he will need a little patience and training. Peanut had a family who had an autistic son. As the son got older, it wasn't working out to have a dog. So, peanut was dropped off at the shelter. Peanut is a very affectionate little guy. He loves to be around people getting pets and love. Peanut does well with other dogs and he loves to play. He's not crazy about pit bull breeds, but he does great with all other breeds. I don't think Peanut has ever been around cats, but I think he would do well with them. Peanut would also do well as an only dog. As far as children, he would do best around older kids (8 years & older)Peanut loves long walks, hiking and he just learned how to swim this week! He LOVES swimming now. He loves to eat, he is very food motivated which makes it easy to train him. If you think Peanut would be a good fit for you, fill out the application form on Fancy Cat's Website and we will contact you for a meet and greet. Peanut can't wait to meet you.  __________________________________________________ This dog's adoption fee is $525.

Story
Meet Kitty and Red! This bonded pair of inkblot gremlins have been stealing hearts at Miri's since they arrived. Kitty and Red were flown to us by Pilots N Paws after being dumped at a shelter in North Carolina. They arrived confused and scared but quickly settled into their foster home once they realized they were safe, loved, and together. Kitty warms up to people quickly. She loves to sit with her humans and listen to them talk to her, especially when they're eating. Her favorite curl up spot is on the back of couch, though she needs a helping hand to get up there. She's a sweet, chatty girl who has no problem asking for what she wants - especially food! Red takes a long time to get used to new people and likes to keep his circle small, but once you're in, you're in. Now that he's decided his foster mom and dad are worthy, he climbs right into their laps, rolls onto his back, and asks for belly rubs. He's still not crazy about other humans, so he'd do best with a family that's home most of the time and doesn't have too many visitors. He may react negatively when approached by people he doesn't know well, so he will need slow and patient introductions to the people who will be in his life. Kitty and Red are looking for a forever home with humans that love to snuggle with them and who can provide structure and routine. Neither inkblot is leash-trained so thye'll need a fenced-in yard to explore. Their ideal home is child-free, generally quiet and calm, and full of love and patience. They're making progress on housetraining and are good about using pee pads when they can't make it outside in time. Kitty and Red have so much love to give! They need someone who will be patient with Red while he takes his time to warm up - in return, they will bring so much love, laughter, and absolute adorableness into your home. Kitty and Red are approximately 14 years old. Kitty is about 6 lbs and Red is about 5 lbs. Fostered in Waynesboro, PA Please apply at MirisHaven.org
