Story

Looking to rehome our 11 year old mini pin rat terrier Fergie located in Milford DE. Our daughter has a severe allergy to dogs. Great with kids and ignores other dogs and cats. She is a huge cuddler and loves to snuggle with blankets. She is outdoor potty trained and crate trained. I rescued her while stationed in California when she was a puppy in 2013. She was born on valentines day. This breaks my heart but I've been trying to figure out countless answers and issues with my daughters health and its been right in front of me.

Story

Scottie (the Scottish Terrier mix, Doxie Scot?) is a sweet little guy who was found as a skittish stray with an untreated broken leg. Don’t let the pre-mature greys fool you. This small dapper, very portable guy is about 5 years old. He has an adorable trot so he’s better known as Skippy Scotty. He gets along with both cats and dogs in the foster home. Through means of trying to save the leg, it's now been medically recommended that his right leg be amputated since that will be the best course of action for him in the long run.  He's looking forward to becoming a healthier and happier future family companion, just with one less paw. ##1773669##

Story

Brock must go to a Frenchie savvy home!  He came to the rescue as an owner surrender due to some behavioral problems. We have seen Brock flourish with a consistent routine. He gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats & all the kittens in the foster home, no matter the age or size. He went from a dog who did not enjoy being outside, going on trips in the car & not seeming interested in interacting with us to the exact opposite. Brock has quickly become a velcro dog, wanting to accompany us anywhere we go.  He has done exceptionally well meeting other people, along with other dogs outside of our house. Brock can be an attention hog at times, demanding pets & cuddles all the time but doesn’t mind sharing attention with other animals. In his previous home, it seemed like Brock’s boundaries were not always respected, so with that being said, he’d do best in a home without children. He truly does have the best personality, he loves to play with toys, our other dogs, people and even our foster kittens. For an almost nine year old French Bulldog, he is in amazing shape. He had a full panel of bloodwork done which came back beautifully and had a dental cleaning. He is not the biggest fan of visits to the vet, but that is something the foster family has been working on to help desensitize him more.   ##1774126##
