Story
Meet Little Guy LOVES TO SLEEP WITH HIS PERSON! Little Guy has a funny personality. He was found as a stray. We searched for his owners but had no luck. We believe his owner died and the family let him run. He is a Min Pin and around 1-3 years old. We are still getting to know his personality.  He can be selective with other dogs. He is potty trained. He doesn't like a crate. We are guessing he was never kept in one. He does go in one, but cries. He just wants to be around people. He will find himself a nice comfortable place to lay down and be super content. Sometimes it can take him a minute to warm up to new people. But he will. When he's comfortable, he likes to play. He knows what 'treat' means, LOL. Little Guy is up to date on vaccines and will be neutered prior to adoption. If you think Little Guy is the perfect dog for you, fill out our adoption form, link below. Little Guy is a courtesy post, so please copy and paste the link, fill out the application, and someone should contact you shortly. https://form.jotform.com/252557613883163February 27, 2026, 4:37 am

Story
Meet Guinness 🖤🐾 Guinness is a 5-year-old black pittie with a calm soul and the gentlest heart. Found as a stray and never reclaimed, it’s hard to imagine how anyone could have let him go. Everything about him feels like he once belonged to someone who loved him deeply — and now he’s patiently waiting for that love again. Weighing about 48 lbs, Guinness is the definition of steady and easygoing. No jumping, no chaos — just soft eyes that quietly ask, “Will you love me?” He takes treats politely, walks nicely on leash (sometimes he’ll even “walk” you a house or two), and is crate trained. He does well riding in the car, though he’ll need a little help getting in since he doesn’t jump — not even onto furniture. Guinness prefers peaceful coexistence over rough play and loud noise. He does well with both small and big humans and seems happy to meet other dogs, especially those his size or smaller. He would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a medium-sized companion with a calm, affectionate presence rather than high energy. Guinness is: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Fully vaccinated (rabies up to date) ✔️ Heartworm positive — has received his first treatment and is on preventatives He may not be flashy. He may not be the dog everyone stops to notice. But he is the kind of loyal, simple, good-hearted companion who will quietly change your life. 🤎 Ready to meet Guinness? 👉 Fill out an adoption application at forrescue.net #FORrescue #FriendsofRescue #AdoptGuinness #RescueDog #PittieLove #BlackDogMagic #HeartwormWarrior #CalmCompanion #AdoptDontShop
