Story
Meet Yumi! At just 38 pounds, Yumi is the perfect little package of love, affection, and just the right amount of silliness! CARE rescued her from a shelter in Mobile, and this sweet girl is ready to leave her past behind and find a family to call her own. Around 2.5 years old, Yumi has a lovely laid-back personality. She’s happy to hang out with her people, soak up all the affection she can get, and enjoy the simple things in life. Of course, she wouldn’t be a young pup without the occasional case of the zoomies! Every now and then, her playful side comes out to remind you that there’s still plenty of fun in this girl. Yumi is dog-friendly and genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs, so she could make a wonderful companion for a home with a canine friend. But she also has plenty of love to give her humans and would be more than happy to be your personal cuddle buddy. She’s already spayed and up to date on her vaccines and preventatives, so she’s got a great start on her journey to a forever home! Yumi is heartworm positive and will need treatment, but with the right care and a family willing to stand by her, she has so much love and life ahead of her. If you’re looking for a medium-small best friend who enjoys canine companionship, loves human affection, and knows how to balance relaxation with a little goofy fun, Yumi could be the perfect match! Small enough to fit right into your life, with a heart big enough to fill your home. Could Yumi be your girl?

Story
Is there anything cuter than a dog with an underbite? I don't know, but Annie sure makes it difficult to argue otherwise as this cheek-pinching pup is 100% adorable. While that under bite makes her look a little more serious, she is a sweet baby angle that just wants love and attention. Annie is a milder energy girl that love to follow you around and just observe the world around her. She hangs out in playgroups with other dogs that have lower energy levels and they just sunbathe and watch the birds to pass the time. Annie is not a super active dog and would do great in a chiller home just looking for a couch companion who pays their due with kisses and lap warming. Notes from foster: Annie was a sweet girl in the home. She had no accidents in the home and was quiet in the kennel when I would need to leave the house. She was great in the car and settled quickly. On leash she walks well with a pull every now in then when seeing a squirrel or wanting to sniff a particular patch of grass. While she still has a couple house manners to learn she catches on fast. She loved playing with a toys once she adjusted to the home, and a special spot for unstuffed toys with a squeaker in them. She loves squeaking them then tossing them in the air. She loves people and every person she saw on her walks she would wag her tail and want to go say hey.
