Story
Big Mama Myrtle was sitting in the shelter, sad, dejected, and abandoned.  Look we get it times are hard, and when a dog has a lot going on medically it makes life tougher.  We just feel gut wrenched when we see this dog that someone loved at some point now alone and suffering. Springing Big Mama from SCRAPS was a no brainer.  We love a hot mess and she checked that box a few times.  While we have worked on getting her ears under control, her skin issues, and up to date with vaccinations our Big Mama Myrtle is learning to relax and enjoy life a little more.  This girl will need ongoing care for a bit, like most Bulldogs she has allergy sensitivities. We are proud to say she is dog neutral, she really just doesn’t care about others.  Myrtle doesn't care about cats, either.  My oh my, Myrtle is not a crate dog, but that’s ok. She is mature and ready to hang out on the couch or dog bed and has proven she is not destructive. Want to find out if Big Mama Myrtle is your jam?  Drop us an application at thefurryfarmrescue.org.  Can’t wait to meet her?  Come Saturday 1/24 from 12-2 at K9CountryClub Adoption event for Furry Farm to get some advanced snuggles and see if she is the one.

Story
MEET BELLE!🔔 This sweet senior girl showed up as a stray, living between hay bales to stay warm, skinny and in need of love. Now, she's on the road to recovery and ready to find her permanent family through PAWS Rescue, Inc. Belle is an 8–10-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix, weighing just 10 pounds—with a heart full of love to give.💕 Here’s what you should know about this little lady: •She’s a pro at using the doggie door and sleeps soundly through the night. •She gets along wonderfully with small dogs, children, and new people (after a little "hello" bark!). •She simply ignores cats. •Her favorite things include her warm "blankie" and, most importantly, bacon! A love for bacon is a must for her new parents. •House trained Belle has so much love left to give and is looking for a cozy home to spend her golden years. Could you be the one to give her the loving future she deserves? *Fenced yard required* Please consider opening your heart and home to Belle.

Story
Noodle is a 1.5 year old mixed breed that we adopted from West Valley Humane Society. They didn't know much about her and told us she was picked up as a stray. She is sweet, energetic, and gets along with kids and pets. She plays all the time with our four year old daughter and Pit Bull Terrier. However, in the last four months, we've learned that she has very severe separation anxiety. She cannot stand being in a crate and will chew up anything she can find if left alone, especially wooden or plastic items. We've tried treating her anxiety with medication but it's not doing enough to help her. My husband is going to start working more, which means she will be spending more time alone in our home, which is just not feasible for us. Her ideal owner is patient, experienced, and available. She needs someone who can devote the time to train her and help her shine. Please send me a message if you are interested in helping this sweet soul.
