Story
Meet Pearl! Pearl is a sweet little 1 year old Chihuahua with a gentle soul and so much love to give. When she first came into foster care, she was very shy and unsure of the world around her. Thanks to the patience and love of her foster family, Pearl is beginning to trust, relax, and let her adorable personality shine. She enjoys soft blankets, cozy naps, and the comfort of a quiet home. Pearl is looking for a family that understands that the best things take time. With patience, kindness, and consistency, she will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. Pearl would do best in a calm home where she can continue to build her confidence at her own pace. Watching her come out of her shell has been incredibly rewarding, and we know her forever family is out there waiting for her. If you're looking for a tiny companion with a big heart, Pearl may be the perfect addition to your family. Pearl is spayed and up to date on shots. If you're interested in adopting Pearl, please email: fureverfriendsandrescue@gmail.com Or fill out an application on our website: fureverfriendsandrescue.com

Story
Meet Raul, an independent and spirited pup ready to find his forever home! Raul is currently living in a foster home and is looking for a family that understands his unique needs and can provide him with the love and attention he deserves. Raul does well with other dogs while out on walks, but his ideal home would not have resident dogs. He has a strong chase instinct with cats, so a cat-free household would be best for him. In his current foster home, Raul shares his space with two female cats, but they do not interact closely due to his tendency to lunge and bark. When it comes to being alone, Raul is quite content in a gated area or free-roaming for short periods. He's house-trained and hasn't shown any issues in that regard. While Raul is a loving companion, he can be a bit particular about being handled or picked up. Sometimes he enjoys being pet, but other times he may growl and snap. It's important to approach him with patience and respect for his boundaries. Raul has made progress in his behavior and no longer exhibits food guarding with humans. However, he still displays this behavior with the resident cats, so it's essential to feed him separately. If you're looking for an independent and spirited companion who thrives in a cat-free environment, Raul could be the perfect match for you. With the right understanding and care, Raul is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving member of your family. Don't miss out on the chance to give Raul the forever home he's been waiting for!

Story
Look up to the sky and see the cosmos or you can see This Cosmo! This little guy has it all! An outgoing, sweet little dude who's down for an adventure as much as he's down for some cuddle time on the couch. Cosmo loves his food (and your food), going on walks and spending time with his people. He makes a fantastic alarm as he likes to tell you about all the people passing by his window. Cosmo is bursting with personality and has quickly become adored by our staff here at the shelter. Go ahead and click the "Adoption Inquiry" button if you want to know more about this wonderful pup!

Story
Smokey the Bear may be small in size, but he has the heart and bravery of a true survivor. This senior Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighs just 18 pounds and has endured more than most pups ever should. He came to us with a luxated left hip, a few healing rib fractures, and several puncture wounds. He also has some age-related changes in his spine (spondylosis). But even with all that, Smokey’s gentle spirit shines through. Smokey is recovering well and eating like a champ—just make sure his meals are served on a plate or in a small metal bowl (he’s a sophisticated guy with preferences!). He gets around with determination, though smooth floors are a bit slippery for him, so rugs or textured paths help him feel secure. For the next month, Smokey will need to keep his activity low while his body heals, and a sling can help support him when he’s moving about. Despite everything he has been through, Smokey the Bear is a sweet, sensitive soul. He can be a bit nervous at first—understandable given his recent injuries—but once he realizes he’s safe, he softens and just wants gentle affection. Smokey is hoping for a calm, loving home where he can finish healing and enjoy all the comfort a senior pup deserves. He’s on several medications to help him recover and will need a recheck with the vet team in about a month. Depending on how his hip continues to heal, an FHO surgery might be considered in the future. If you believe senior dogs are treasures and want to change the life of a truly deserving little hero, Smokey the Bear will reward you with quiet companionship, gratitude, and a whole lot of heart.

Please go slow with me. Life hasn't always been easy so I'm timid and can get snappy when scared. That being said I'll do just about anything for treats- especially the Pupperoni ones! I like being held sometimes and will do best in a calm household. I also got my seal of approval from hounds town showing I like to play with other dogs!

Story
Merle was found by friend about two months ago and no one has responded to post or lost dog ads. I’ve been fostering this sweetie for about a month but he needs a house with a yard and someone not traveling for work. He’s a little reactive on walks but has been getting better with training. He’s tried going to families with kids but it doesn’t seem to be a good fit. He loves playing fetch and learning new commands.
