Story
We found Rue in our alley after she had been hit by a car. We took her to a vet because she wasn’t using her back legs and found out her spinal cord was very inflamed. After a month or two with steroids, she was able to walk again. She is a very sweet, lovable pup. She does not do great with others dogs, but has been okay with our dogs at home. She does best in a single pet household without kids and without a lot of stairs. Rue does not do great with stairs because of her past injuries. She loves walks and to run around. She loves being cuddled under MANY blankets and sleeping on her bed as well. She has gone to a training for leash walking, learning “place,” and food aggression and has done well since! Our friend who has been able to watch her since the training has said she has continued to do well with it.

Story
This is Barney Fife! Hopefully you are old enough to know the name! When we rescued him from a hoarding situation he looked at us with such scared eyes, hence the name! We have had him about 6 weeks now and he has become a velcro baby. He will sit next to you all day and follow you every where you go. Our vet estimates he is 7 years old, he only has 1 tooth. Chicken and chicken broth is his favorite meal. Barney is the perfect boy for a special adopter. He is being fostered in Miami and waiting for that special family. He weighs only 9 pounds. Barney is working on house training and doing great!Fostering and transporting to places where there is a need for adoptable animals, saves lives, its that simple.
