Stella is a sweet 6 year old mixed breed that needs a patient and loving home. She has anxiety and is fearful. Due to this she will be territorial and resource guard which can lead to behaviors (e.g., growling and biting). Once you learn, Stella’s triggers and are patient with her, she will be your best friend. She loves to spend time with her person. She will cuddle with you on the couch and chew on hard toys. Due to her special needs, she needs to live an adult only home without other pets. This environment will help her to thrive and live her best life!

Story
Meet Rosie Rosie is a beautiful terrier mix, around 5–6 years old and 77 pounds of pure love. She came to rescue through no fault of her own after being bullied by other dogs in her previous home. Despite that, Rosie’s gentle heart and sweet spirit shine through in everything she does. Rosie does wonderfully with kind, respectful dogs, and she’s also great with cats and kids—making her a fantastic fit for many different types of families. Her favorite place in the world is wherever you are. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or moving from room to room, Rosie is happiest being by your side and part of the action. If allowed, she’d be more than happy to curl up and sleep in bed with you, too. She is fully potty trained and will politely stand by the door when she needs to go outside. Rosie is much more interested in people than toys, so she’s looking for a home where she can get plenty of companionship, affection, and quality time. Rosie can be a little unsure around new men at first and may bark briefly, but once she realizes she’s safe, she warms up quickly—usually within minutes—and shows her loving, loyal nature. Fully vaccinated, in excellent health, and overflowing with love, Rosie is a devoted, people-oriented companion who’s ready to settle into her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who just wants to be near you, Rosie may be the perfect match. Rosie is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org. Adoption fees are as follows: $225 for a dog. When adopting a dog from AHSEM the adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age appropriate core vaccines, microchipping, combo tested (for FIV/FeLV), and basic wellness care including deworming and flea treatment.

Story
🪖 “Lieutenant Dan! Ice cream!” 🪖 No shrimp boat required — just a couch, some snacks, and a heart ready for unconditional love. Meet Lieutenant Dan (aka Dan the Man), a 60-lb velvet pillow who has seen some things but still believes life is like a box of chew toys — you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s probably adorable. Dan may not run across America, but he walks like a dream on leash, is house-trained, crate-trained, and has officially mastered the art of being a proper Southern gentleman. He’s calm, sweet, and prefers cuddles over chaos. This is not a ping-pong-chasing lifestyle dog. This is a lean back, watch the world go by kind of guy. When Lieutenant Dan puts his big paws on you, it’s basically his way of saying: 👉 “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.” He’s: 🍦 Friendly with other dogs (slow intros please — Bubba would insist) 🍦 Great with kids 🍦 A champion cuddler and elite people-pleaser 🍦 Unsure about cats (still waiting to meet one… probably would ask their name politely) Loud noises make him a little nervous, and sometimes he worries he’s in trouble — his past wasn’t kind — but his heart? Pure sunshine. All he wants is to make you proud, love you fiercely, and maybe sit next to you while you tell him he’s a good boy approximately 400 times a day. Lieutenant Dan is ready for his happy ending, his new mission, and his forever home. And unlike the movie… this Dan actually does have legs — and they’re great for snuggling. 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life? 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life? Apply here: Peace Love and Paws Rescue 👉 https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster... Run, don’t walk — Lieutenant Dan is waiting. 🐾💛
