Story
Fidgette is an energetic puppy-like gal who needs someone to match her pace. She is very sweet gets along great with other dogs and has been around young children. She has constant energy, so the right home will be ready to keep her busy with daily walks or runs. She would be great in a home that already has an active dog that needs a playmate. Fidgette has a cute curled tail and a stumpy snout, so she may also have some pug in there, but whatever it is, she is cute as a button! She also has an adorable underbite and loves to cuddle. If you would like to meet this busy young lady, fill out an application so we can tell if it will be a good fit! ##2547532##

Story
Dottie (Dorothy) is a very timid gal who is going to need a very patient adoptive family. She is with a foster now, who has been able to get her to take treats out of her hand and has a good appetite. She is quiet and likes to follow you around the house. But she won't let you pet her, but with time she should warm up to the right person. We are continuing to work with her on socialization. If you are interested please submit an adoption application! ##1341435##
