Story
Jack is a sweet, loving dog. He is 3 years old . He adores attention and works well with older children who like to play. He is a wonderful companion. Jack is my loved pet and it hard to have to rehome him he’s such a great dog. But because of my schedules it’s not fair to him to not receive all the attention he deserves. Jack loves toys and has been raised in a fenced back yard. Jack will surely great you with happiness anytime he sees you. Jack will need some training on a leash since he’s not walked as often as we are able to. Jack will comfort you when you’re sad too. If you’re looking for a lap dog who cuddles. He’s your pet.

Story
Thor is 9 years old and just wants time with owner. Loves to cuddle and be held just the perfect lap dog!Not good with toddlers but great with teens and adults.So. Left him to me when he left to the military and now my schedule has been come more chaotic that I do not have the time for him.I prefer him in a home without children but great for parents looking a dog to teach preteens responsibility of taking care of a pet. He sleeps with me but also can sleep in a crate with many blankets as he likes to be extra warm and cozy.If these traits fit your lifestyle please reach out. I just don’t want him to be euthanized when he still has many years to go as he is really healthy!

Story
STOP SCROLLING — Izzy is looking for her forever family! She may greet you with quite a bit of excitement, but give her a little time to settle down... and you’ll have a sweet, loving girl by your side.Meet Izzy! This 9-year-old girl is affectionate, smart, and an absolute gem in the home. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, crates well, eager to learn and please, and knows how to relax. No counter surfing, no table begging, no household destruction—just a really good girl who loves being near her people.When Izzy meets someone new, she can get very excited! But here’s the secret to Izzy: give her a little time, introduce her slowly, have some snacks in your pocket, and let her get comfortable. Once she realizes you’re someone she can trust, she settles down—usually within about 15 minutes—and her sweet personality shines through!A little positive praise, plenty of yummy treats, and patience go a long way with this girl. She doesn’t need someone to change her; she needs someone willing to help her learn how to manage those big feelings.Once you’re her person, Izzy LOVES being close and soaking up affection. She’d love to be your one-and-only pet and would do best in a calm home without young children.She enjoys leisurely walks and sniffing adventures more than playing fetch, and she’s perfectly happy to come home afterward and relax with her favorite human.Izzy is proof that sometimes the best things in life take a little patience. Give her a few minutes, a few treats, and a little trust—and you’ll discover a wonderful dog who has SO much love to give.She’s ready for her person.?She’s ready for her forever.?She’s ready to come home.Interested in adopting this dog?Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs.

Story
Greetings, Humans! I`m so excited! Please allow me to reveal a bit about myself in hopes that you will want to come meet me!I think my name Ronaldo (of Romance-language origin) conveys a lot about my personality. I`m spirited, bold, confident, gallant, like a swashbuckler, dashing. Ooh, that`s it! Dashing totally describes me! Not only my handsome appearance, but also the fact that I happen to run like the wind! There`s no better feeling that I`ve ever experienced!Around a year old and 30 lbs. I also like slower-paced walks, since during those I get to walk alongside my human (ok, maybe I pull them just a little bit) while having the chance to investigate and do some serious sniffing. I am a friendly guy. Little humans, big humans, boy or girl humans - I like them all. I`m drawn to other dogs my size or larger; I am checking them out to see if they might make for a good playmate. Inside the house I have gotten the hang of going to the back door, so you`ll know that I have to go out. And I`ve learned that when I am told sit, it often means that something special and yummy might be offered to me! And if you have any of these types of toys in your house, that would be the bestest, because I like to keep busy, busy, busy! Chew toys, rope tug-toys, squeaky toys I like them all. If you would play WITH me, now that would make my playtime the best of all.I need my forever home to include another playful dog and a fenced in yard for us to play in. Ohhh, and no cats in my life, please.So why don`t you come meet me? Can`t wait to show you my dashing nature!Interested in meeting this dog?

Story
Let us introduce you to Jimmy.Around 8 yrs old & 16 lbs., this sweet little senior is ready to find his forever family to hang out with. Jimmy likes nothing more than being as close to his humans as possible, snuggling on the couch and getting a good belly rub. Walks are fun as well - squirrels are very interesting and he might offer to `help` with the gardening by digging a little. Once outdoor time is over, he is happy to go back to napping at your feet or snuggling.Jimmy loves his food and treats which will help with training. He almost always remembers to tell you when he needs to go outside and after a brief protest will sleep soundly in his crate. Jimmy does well with humans of all sizes and likes other dogs.Jimmy would love to meet you. Fill out your application today.We love our dogs.

Story
I may have a few gray hairs, but I’ve still got plenty of love, and some very happy walks ahead of me.Hi, I’m Resin! I’m a sweet senior gentleman who believes the best things in life are pretty simple: a comfy dog bed, a good walk, kind people, and plenty of affection. I’m completely house-trained, enjoy dogs of all sizes, and love being touched and loved on. I’m also quite the gentleman on walks, even if I get a little excited and pull sometimes.At home, I’m happiest with a predictable routine and people who make me feel safe. I eat twice a day with a little water mixed into my food, and some reassurance helps me know it’s okay to dig in. I can settle in my kennel after a few minutes, although I’d much rather know my people are nearby. Loud voices and dropped objects can make me sensitive, so a gentle home would suit me beautifully.I’m not asking for much, just someone who sees that senior dogs still have so much love to give. If your heart and home have room for a loving older guy, I’d really like to meet you.Interested in meeting this dog?
