Story
Ivy is a 5-6 year old, 10 lb girl. She came to us with her two puppies who have since been adopted. Now, it's this mama's turn! Though shy at first, as soon as she warms up, she is your shadow. She just needs patience to get to that point. Ivy is great with other dogs and cats. She is crate-trained and doing well with house-training. She enjoys sleeping in bed and snuggling up right next to you. Ivy enjoys following the other dogs around and learning from them. She is not comfortable on a leash with people she doesn't know and does REQUIRE a fenced in yard. Ivy is pretty quiet in her foster home and very low maintenance. To adopt this little girl, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $300, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental.

Story
Harry is a 3-year-old, 12-lb American Hairless Terrier with a heart as big as his personality. This silly, sweet boy was found as a stray with no microchip or ID and was never reclaimed from animal control. Now he’s ready for a forever home where he can finally settle in and be loved the way he deserves. Harry truly loves everyone. He can be a little nervous when first meeting new people, but he warms up quickly, and once he does, he won’t want to leave your side. He has a nice balance of energy and calm: he enjoys playtime and walks, but he’s also perfectly happy cuddling on the couch with his favorite human (or humans!). He walks fairly well on a leash and does great with both dogs and cats. In fact, Harry REQUIRES a home with another dog, as he really thrives with canine companionship. Because Harry can get mouthy when he’s excited and playful, we don’t think he’d be a good fit for a home with young children. We are actively working on teaching him gentler play, and he’s making progress, but an adult or older-teen household would be best. He is crate-trained and working on house-training. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will make you laugh, keep you company, and love you endlessly—especially if you already have a dog—Harry just might be your perfect match. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee of $500 includes his neuter, shots up-to-date, microchipping, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
There’s no place like home… especially if it’s with Toto. This 12-pound terrier looks like he trotted straight out of The Wizard of Oz and into our hearts. At just 1–2 years old, he’s full of brains, heart, and a whole lot of courage wrapped up in one scruffy little body. Toto is incredibly intelligent and thriving in his foster home. He already knows sit, down, and wait, and he’s currently working on rollover. He craves mental stimulation and loves learning, so his ideal family will be committed to continuing his training and keeping his clever mind engaged. Housetraining is going well and improving every day, but he’ll need consistency to fully master it. He’s both crate trained and leash trained, making him well on his way to being the perfect sidekick. Toto is also learning the social etiquette of playtime and gets along wonderfully with his foster dog brother, who is a similar age and size. He would likely enjoy a playful canine companion. Sweet, affectionate, and loyal, Toto gives the very best cuddles once the adventures are done. His ideal home will be committed to continuing his progress, and he would do best with children over 10. If you’re ready to follow the yellow brick road to unconditional love, Toto is ready to find his forever home. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $400, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Cyrano is a 25lb, 2-year-old Skye terrier. This sweet boy loves to curl up beside you wherever you are. He does well in a crate and sleeps through the night either in his crate or snuggled right up next to you. He will play with other dogs and toys, but usually prefers being a couch potato. He does fine with cats and has even been known to snuggle up next to them. He is food motivated and loves to eat. Cyrano REQUIRES a fenced in yard since he is not yet comfortable on a leash. He can be shy at first, but once he warms up, he becomes your little shadow, giving you kisses frequently. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $500, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and teeth cleaning.

Story
Otter is a 2-year-old, 11 lb Xoloitzcuintli mix with a sweet, loving personality. She is happiest when she’s right by your side and truly enjoys being close to her people. Otter is both toy- and food-motivated and loves carrying her toys around, proudly squeaking them as she goes. She enjoys running and playing with other dogs and can happily have dog friends for playtime. However, Otter does not do well sharing resources like toys, so to truly thrive, she needs a home as an only dog. Playdates and supervised romps with other dogs are still a great fit for her! Otter is currently not comfortable walking on leash. We are actively working with her on this, but at this time she requires a securely fenced yard so she can safely exercise and explore. Otter would do best in a home that can provide consistency, patience, and lots of love—along with toys she can call her own. She is working diligently on house-training and crate-training. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $400, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, dental cleaning, and deworming.

Story
Meet Birdie, a 6-year-old, 57 lb sweetheart with the happiest smile and the gentlest soul. Birdie joined us after retiring from breeding, and she’s been blossoming more and more each day. She’s doing wonderfully with her housetraining and just needs a patient family to continue cheering her on. She may have an occasional accident here and there, but she’s truly trying and making great progress. Birdie does well in her crate when her people aren’t home. At night, she sleeps loose in her foster parents' bedroom and does beautifully, often choosing her favorite ottoman at the end of the bed as her special spot. While she can be shy at first and needs time to warm up to new people, once you’ve earned her trust, she becomes a total Velcro girl. She’ll quietly stick by your side, happy just to be near you. Mealtime is her favorite time of day, and she loves treats, though if she’s feeling unsure, she’ll politely decline until she feels safe. Birdie has the most adorable personality, making the silliest little noises and howls that will absolutely make you smile. Despite her funny sounds, she’s not a loud dog overall. She has done wonderfully with other dogs. Leash training is coming along nicely, though cars and walking under bridges can still feel a bit scary for her. With gentle encouragement and consistent practice, she’s getting braver every day. Birdie is truly an absolute love. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, she will flourish into the most devoted and loyal companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful girl who will reward your love with endless affection (and the best smile ever), Birdie just might be your perfect match. Birdie REQUIRES a home with another confident dog and a fenced in yard. She would be best suited for a family with children 13 or older because sudden, loud movements scare her. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $600, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
