Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ramona!   Ramona came from a bad hoarding situation. This sweet girl had never been outside until she came into foster care.  She is now potty trained and loves going outside and playing with her foster siblings!! When Ramona first came into rescue she was terrified of being outside and would only use potty pads indoors, so this is a huge step forward for Ramona! She has also discovered toys and LOVES them.  She constantly follows her foster Mom and will sit next to her on the couch.  What does a perfect home look like for Ramona?Ramona needs a securely fenced yard, as she is a flight risk if frightened.  She needs a patient person who will move slowly with her and allow her to gain trust in them. She definitely needs another dog in the house for companionship and to help her feel safe.  Are you the type of person who can give Ramona the attention she needs to continue coming out of her shell?  If so, you will find she is a treasure.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Scooter is an 11 year old Bischon Frise.  He is neutered and UTD on his shots.Scooter is slow to warm up.....6-10 weeks, but the wait is worth it!   He does not do good with small children.  Older children are fine.  He loves being outdoors and walks well on a leash.  He would be over the moon to have a fenced in yard to play in.Scooter's life changed for the better when he started taking fluoxedine (doggie prozac)  This inexpensive medicine helps regulate Scooter's nervous system and greatly reduces his anxiety.Scooter will need some extra patience and love to help him live his best life.  His turn around in foster care has been amazing.  HIs forever person has to be willing to give him time to adjust to his new home.  Scooter thinks he is worth the time and work it takes to help him adjust...Are you the special person Scooter is looking for?Adoption fee $150Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 25, 2026, 10:07 pm
