Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Max and Sophie.  They are a bonded pair of Bichon Frise mixes that are 11 years old.  They are litter mates that have been together their entire lives.  Max and Sophie have just lost the only home they have known when their owner moved into a nursing home. This sweet duo are looking for a loving person who will adopt them together.   They keep each other company, so they are easier than having only one dog!Max weighs 9.6 pounds and is in good health.  Sophie weighs 9.2 pounds and is also in good health except she is partially blind due to cataracts. (She can see light and dark, just no detail).  Both are neutered and UTD on their vaccines.  They are HOUSE TRAINED!!!These two are sweet and friendly as can be.  They cuddle together like two peas in a pod when they sleep at night.  They love to go on walks!  Sophie charges ahead on her lead, she doesn't seem bothered at all by her limited sight!  Once she learns where everything is in her home, she will maneuver around just fine.  They both LOVE being outside in their foster's fenced yard....so many things to smell and the sunshine feels great!  Max is the more outgoing of the pair, but once Sophie gets to know you, she will demand to be cuddled!!  Both are snuggle bugs that want to be with their person.  They are very friendly pups.Can you provide a loving home for Max and Sophie?  Fill out an application and let's get the ball rolling!***Max and Sophie are eligible for our Senior to Senior adoption program.  If the adopter is over 60 and uses our vet, the rescue will cover their vet bills.  You provide the home, food, toys and LOVE.  Frankies Furry Friends will pay their vet bills.  This special program is a WIN-WIN for everyone.Adoption Fee to defray vet costs:  $100Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 25, 2026, 12:13 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Abby!!This adorable 1-year-old Chihuahua mix is a bundle of energy, personality, and love. She’s always ready for playtime, whether that means zooming around the yard, going for a walk, or wrestling with her canine friends. One of her best qualities is how well she gets along with other dogs—she happily plays with pups of all sizes and enjoys having canine companions around.   She is both house-trained and crate-trained, making the transition into her new home even easier. She thrives on routine and is eager to continue building her confidence with a family that will support her.   Having come from a hoarding situation, she can be a little shy when meeting new people and may need some time to feel safe and comfortable. She’s looking for a patient adopter who will let her build trust at her own pace. The good news? Once you’ve earned her confidence, she transforms into an incredibly affectionate, snuggly companion who loves being close to her people.Does Abby sound like the BEST girl for you?  Fill out an application and schedule your meet and greet with Abby!Adoption Fee to help defray her vet expenses:  $250 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 25, 2026, 12:13 pm

Story
If you are looking for a chill, gentle companion then Bertha is for you. She is the perfect girl for lazy days. Bertha is around 7 years old, she is housetrained as well. If she had the company of furry friends, she prefers dogs like her- chill with not too much energy. She would do best without cats. Bertha loves being outside, rolling around in the grass. She enjoys humans and giving little kisses. Bertha is low-maintenance, she isn’t very needy. All she desires is a cozy home, and a family to call her own.
