Story

Stanley is a 7 year old puppy dog that loves attention and loves to play. He is a wonderful companion when your upset. We adopted him from the Animal Welfare League of charlotte county at the DeSoto County adoption fair on 8/24/2025. Stanley is reactive to sounds when sleeping. Doors opening/closing are public enemy #1. Also he will tolerate children so long as they arnt running, screaming, playing, laughing or crying. but he has played and loved on both of our children in doses. honestly i woulnt reccommend adopting if you have younger children. Other than that "Stan" loves to play with his toys, usually by him self as long as loved ones are watching. He is a character and we love him very much, he is just a bit too reactive for a home of 5. Stan would be best suited to a single or couple of adults living in a quiet area.

NAME: Crayola BREED: Chihuahua/terrier mix SEX: male COLOR: cream AGE: 1 1/2 yrs as of Jan 2025 WEIGHT: 15 lbs FOSTERED BY: LOCATED IN: NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Hello there, I'm Crayola. Don't let my name fool you, I'm not just a dog, I'm a masterpiece. I'm brave, always ready to face any obstacle. I'm friendly too, eager to meet new people and experience new adventures. I would love to have a fenced yard with soft grass. I am not too sure about other dogs right now but I am working on it. I'm sweet, with a heart full of love to give. I may be 'specially-abled', but that doesn't slow me down one bit. I live each day with joy, embracing every moment with a wagging tail. I've learned to overcome challenges, proving that love and resilience can conquer all. Remember, broken crayons still color! Adopt me, and I promise to color your world with unconditional love and loyalty. Crayola is “specially-abled” due to a prior spinal injury that has left him with some issues with his back legs. He looks a little awkward but it doesn’t slow him down at all. Check out his video!

NAME: Pinto BREED: Wire haired terrier mix SEX: male COLOR: white AGE: born Jan 11, 2025 WEIGHT: 13.5 as of Aug 25, 2025 FOSTERED BY: LOCATED IN: NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Pinto came to us after being found in the middle of a highway in the dark with his dead litter mate. Both of his back legs were broken in the same spot. Based on his injuries and where he was found, it appears that he was thrown from a car. Both legs were splinted and he has healed from his injuries and doing great! On top of that, this poor little boy tested positive for parvo. Luckily we caught it right away before he showed any symptoms and gave him a dose of CPMA (monoclonal antibody) We are happy to report that Pinto made it through this second scare and has completely recovered. While he was being treated for the other issues we also realized that he is deaf. He doesn't let this stop him and he is a sweet and loving boy. He just needs someone that is willing to work with him on hand signals and other methods of communication with him. Deaf dogs are able to live normal lives and just need a caring family to work with them.
