Story
Meet PD, a 10 year old Chihuahua. This little guy is fully potty trained! He has never had a single accident in his foster home. His favorite things are his people, his furry foster brother, belly scratches, being the boss of his household, and his twice a day treats (the only way he takes his medication). PD has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart and a heart murmur, requiring daily medication. Also has kidney concerns which are maintained on a prescription kidney-support diet. He would benefit from losing some weight (he's quite chunky) with light exercise. It will be beneficial for his overall health. PD does not like dogs bigger than he is. He also does not like when his foster brother is getting attention and he isn't, or when someone gets too close while he is on your lap (he can be a bit possessive with his people). This special guy needs a calm and loving home that does not have a lot of new people coming around. He can be very spicy towards new people as he is very protective of his family. His furever family must also be willing to continue caring for his medical needs. He's been the bestest boy in his foster home. Through a generous Senior Pet Adoption Grant from the Petfinder Foundation, we are able to cover his adoption fee and the first $700 of his prescription food and medication for a loving adopter! PD is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm test was negative, receives monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, dewormed, and is microchipped with registration paid.

Story
Meet Riley, the five-year-old ideal chiweenie. This affectionate tiny beast (11lbs) lives up to her breeds’ best traits: excellent cuddling and blanket burrowing skills, fierce loyalty, ceaseless tail wagging, humorous feisty antics, and obvious intelligence. Riley is confident; having grown up with a golden retriever, we’re sure she thinks she’s a big dog. She loves her humans close. She’ll follow you from room to room and will be happiest with an owner who is mostly home whom she can Velcro to. She sleeps fine in a crate but prefers your bed, sleeps fine on a blanket but prefers your lap. Riley LOVES her foster family’s kids, is good with cats, and is potty trained with an occasional accident.  She puts on a typical chihuahua rough exterior when meeting new dogs but then warms up to them quickly. This girl is a huge love bug in a tiny body and would be an easy addition to most dog-loving homes. Riley's $300 adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, heartworm/flea prevention, and microchip registration. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##2666446##

Story
Sweet MAEVE is proof that learning to be loved after so many years and disappointments can take a bit. We are not out of the woods but we are getting close! Maeve means "the cause of great joy" and I am hoping that she will be someone's greatest joy til the end of her days. Also, her pure joy still shines through even after people have let her down so horribly. We are waiting on blood work. She does have a heart murmur (not unusual in an older dog). She has gained some much needed weight and best of all.....she was released for a BATH. I love giving a foster the first bath in rescue. You can see the calm and change as their old life is washed away making room for a fresh new start. Maeve enjoyed the warm water and the oatmeal shampoo. She is now snoring on her bed! More to come!
