Story
Little Yeti came to us via another rescue as she and her sis Cherry were terrified in their facility as they have a lot of big dogs and they bark alot. Yeti is the more outgoing of the two girls that originally came out of a hoarding case in Texas we are told. She does take a bit to warm up and wants you to think she is a nipper. She has not bitten anyone but will act like she wants to. Because of my years of loving on small dogs that have never known love I can tell you she isn't mean. Just very insecure. She is the first to me after a few weeks here and loves to give kisses and have me hold her. This kid will need a very secure fenced in yard and someone that understands she will take a few days to warm up. She just needs to learn you mean her no harm and are there souly to give all the loves and all the treats. ##2186548##

Poor Bennie. He has been adopted out twice now....neither return his fault, just life circumstances.He is now a senior seeking a quiet loving home for the rest of his life. Are you the one?

This little one was a part of the Waterloo Rd Valentine's Weekend hording case. He is super silly and very active but also loves attention. The vets guessed him to be around 1-2 years of age. He has long black and brown fur and loves to play and get belly rubs! We don't know how he would be with little kids, but he is great with other small dogs and cats.  ##2350826##
