Story
🐾 Hi, I’m Prince! 💙 DOB: June 15, 2025 Breed: Mixed Breed Weight: 52.6 lbs as of 9/17/26 Neutered | Microchipped | Heartworm Negative Good with Dogs Hi everyone! I’m Prince, a handsome, gentle boy with a big heart and lots of love to give! ❤️ I’m easygoing, sweet, and absolutely love playing with other dogs. I’m also a quiet gentleman who rarely barks, keeps my kennel clean, and is believed to be house-trained! And did I mention I LOVE water? 💦 Whether it’s splashing in a pool or enjoying a day at the lake, I’m always up for some fun! But what I’d love most is a family to call my own. I have an old leg injury that healed a little differently, leaving one leg shorter than the other, but it doesn’t slow me down or stop me from enjoying life! I’m just a lovable boy looking for my happily ever after. Could that be with you? 💙🐾 Courtesy Post: Forever Kuddles Fosters is helping Prince find his forever family. Once an approved adopter is found, we will pull him into our rescue to complete his adoption.

Story
I acquired Blue from a former roommate, and because she has already been rehomed once, my biggest hope is that her next home will truly be her forever home. Blue is 6 years old and is incredibly loving, affectionate, gentle, and people oriented. She loves cuddling, being close to her family, and has absolutely no concept of personal space. She thrives on love, attention, and companionship and is happiest simply being by your side. I also want to be transparent about Blue's health. She was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a common and very manageable condition in dogs. It is not life threatening, and she simply takes one affordable tablet each day for the rest of her life. Other than that, she is a happy, healthy dog with an excellent quality of life. If you believe you can provide Blue with the loving, permanent home she deserves, I would love to hear from you. Serious inquiries only, please.

Hi, I’m Aurora! 🐾💗 DOB: 6/2/26 Mixed Breed Approx. 9 lbs Fully vaccinated, including rabies Microchipped On heartworm prevention Spay required at 6–8 months per adoption contract Adoption Fee: $300 I’m a super sweet, laid-back little girl with the perfect mix of fun and cuddles! I absolutely love playing with other dogs, cats, and kids, but I’m just as happy relaxing and snuggling with my people. I’m friendly, affectionate, and easygoing, and my foster mommy thinks I’m doing amazing with my potty training! 💗 My siblings and I had a rough start and eventually ended up on a shelter euthanasia list. Forever Kuddles Fosters was able to save eight of us, and now all I need is a loving family to call my own. Could I be the little sweetheart your family has been waiting for?

Story
Onyx is a 2yr, 3 month old black lab that I got from a friend about a year ago. They rescued her from a puppy mill in Indiana, where she was going to be used for breeding. Onyx is a sweet dog, but she is very energetic, which has become upsetting to my 4 year old son who was recently diagnosed with autism. I think part of that excessive energy could be reduced with training and spaying, but I work long hours in community services now, and my son is in ABA therapy now, and I do not have the proper time to dedicate to her. I have been working to teach her to sit, and we were also working on shake paws. She also needs leash training and is fully capable of learning. She is behind on her vaccinations, as I had a second baby in April. She has not been anywhere other than our home and back yard. She also has never been bred. I really want her to have a chance to be a great pet for someone who will love and care for her as I wanted to. PS: She really likes belly scratches!
