Story
Lola is a 4 year old powderpuff Chinese Crested/terrier mix. She is 15 pounds. She is loving and playful but lunges and barks and growls at some other dogs. I have had her for just over a month and she responds well to training with treats. She knows "sit" and "watch me" and walks well in the leash until she sees other dogs. Some dogs she is fine with. The problem is she does the same to kids and I live in a building with kids and an elevator so it is difficult to avoid kids. She is fine in the bath to wash her paws. She actually knows the routine and after the last walk she goes into the bathroom. Lola loves walks and belly rubs and the toys I bought her. She needs a foster pet parent who will continue the training, who doesn't live in a condo or apartment building and who doesn't have kids. Lola gets attached to a kind person very quickly and will follow you around, peak her head around the shower curtain to say hello , is learning to fetch and will cuddle on the couch with you.

Story
Maddie is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Maddie is apx 4 years old and weighs 7.5 pounds. A nice couple found her on New Year’s Eve. She must’ve gotten spooked by the fireworks and ran from wherever she was. The couple posted her everywhere to try and find her owners. Maddie had several dog bites on her so she must have been attacked by dogs while on the run. This was all very traumatizing for her. I am very surprised they even caught her because Maddie is extremely skittish. She has tried to nip a few times out of fear. Maddie is wonderful with dogs and cats but absolutely NO children. Maddie warms up after a few days to her person and will allow you to pick her up, cuddle her and pet her but she just needs some time to decompress. She did okay at the vets office, but we did have to burrito her in a towel. Maddie is just extremely scared but once she gets comfortable with her surroundings and her people she is 110% love bug and would like a warm, calm, loving, patient, mature, home to spend her years in. Maddie does not appear to do well with change. A fenced yard would be best unless someone is willing to use pee pads, until she is comfortable and confident walking on a leash with a very well fitted harness, with her person. She rarely barks, doesn't make a sound and uses potty pads. She loves bedding, blankets, naps and attention once she is comfortable with you. She is a very demure and shy baby but she will blossom with every kiss, cuddle and some positive praise. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
Prissy is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Prissy aka Prissy Pants. Prissy is apx 10 years old and 9.8 pounds. She is a hoot. Prissy is sure to make you laugh on a daily basis. She always has her tongue out and a sideways tilty head. She loves all dogs, cats and people. Prissy has good potty manners to go outside but will use a pad if needed. She is not fussy and is just genuinely a happy go lucky girl. Prissy does have a bit of a neurological quirk, she does not love being picked up or held. She LOVES attention, being pet and doted upon, sitting on your lap, sleeping next to you and following you around. When you pick her up she will wiggle, turn her head very drastically and does not really seem to have control of this drastic head turn when she is lifted up. This is an involuntary action. We have no clue why she does this. It may be head trauma at some point but we are unsure. This truly does not effect Prissy’s quality of life and she is an extremely happy and loving girl. She is chi/terrier mix and low to no shedding. She does not bark often but when she does bark it is just one single odd noise that sounds more like a screaming goat than a dog. She is just special and will bring you years of joy Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
West is currently being fostered in TEXAS. West has many other names we call her such as; Chirp, because she does not bark she actually makes this odd chirping sound that is very high-pitched. Luckily, she does not do it often 😂 We also call her long legs Louise. West was rescued from the Rio Grande Valley. She was found as a stray. West is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years old, tall, lanky and apx 15 pounds. West is a bit shy at first but quickly warms up and she does have a good bit of energy and silliness. She is a happy dog and she LOVES other dogs. She definitely needs a home with other dogs, or an adopter willing to take her to dog parks or doggy daycare. She loves to play with other dogs and gets very excited to meet new dogs. She is an all around fantastic gal with a happy and joyful demeanor.
