Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! If you`d like to meet with me, please email my foster parent at lauragabatino@hotmail.com. Dear, loyal Dobby is a friendly boy who also just so happens to be so sweet and precious. He has to be one of the nicest doggies ever. He walks well on leash and is well behaved when left alone. He lives with other dogs in his foster home. He`s affectionate and loves to lean in for those pettings. It’s so charming! Dobby was adopted from us a few years back but sadly his owner could not take care of him anymore. Dobby was a bit sad about this but several good shake-off’s and he`s ready to find a new family. Dobby needs adopters that can take extra good care of him as he needs to be on a prescription diet for those pesky allergies. But he’s a good boy and so easy to love and care for that it’s really no trouble.

Story
Good boy Onyx is determined to win your heart. He is a lively, fun fella who just wants to have fun! But he also wants love and affection too please. Onyx is a black and white cutie with that classic silly wiggly butt. And he is so eager to learn! He likes to check in with us and so enjoys being engaged. He is sweet, social and so wonderful. Onyx is seeking kind adopters who can give him a grand life. He would love to participate in positive training classes, and he would adore lots of frisky walks. Cuddles and love and good meals too are on his agenda. Onyx is a fabulous doggie and he’s waiting for you!

I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here. She is a frisky, busy miss seeking an adventurous family to join and have a blast with. Meo adores hanging with people and she really LOVES getting exercise. If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job. FYI, Meo will do best as the only dog in your home, but she`s more than up to being the sole source of your affection, She also loves getting great meals (and she needs some as she arrived as a skinny stray) and oodles of love. Ready for a great new friend to go on long walks with? Meo is SUPER ready for you.Check out Meo`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyE8WSXxNGU

Story
Sweetheart Tigris is a full figure gal in search of a new home. She was adopted from us a while back, but her owner is being deployed and she’s here waiting so patiently for a new family to call her own. Tigris is a lovely and agreeable pup who enjoys long walks and gentle pettings. Tigris also has some fun energy too. She is eager to engage and be a part of the fun. And treats! Well, she really likes them, but she needs to get back into proper doggie form and drop a few. Tigris does have a food allergy, but she does very well on a Wegman’s Salmon Food and grain free dry food. So, no poultry or lamb for this precious doggie. Trigris might be happiest as the only animal in the house as she is not a fan of sharing her toys or food – she’s queen of the castle! Can you give this very good girl the new life she so wants and deserves? Meet this beauty today!

Story
My name is Steel, and I plan to “steal” your heart! I’ve been told that I am a VERY GOOD BOY, and I have a super silly, wiggly butt. Yup- I am adorable and sweet. Being such a lover, I like to lean in when getting pettings all while giving off the cutest doggie smiles! So, I was adopted years ago but my owner is moving, and the landlord said no pets. I was a bit sad, but I am shaking off the news and moving forward. While here, I am making friends with the staff and volunteers. I am so wonderful, once staff member said, “Steel is a beautiful energetic boy and just a doll!” In my previous home I thrived on a grain-free diet, so I’ll need the same in my new home. So, if you have an affection for wonderful doggies like me, please visit me soon and let’s plan a future together!
