Story
Sadie's requirements ✅ Comfy, warm beds ✅ Nap time at least 4 times a day ✅ Soft food given ✅ Soft pets She really is an easy dog. Her downfall is her last owner never took her outside to potty so she will use potty pads or will need diapers. THIS IS NOT HER FAULT! Could she be potty trained? Probably but I can't guarantee it. She is 12 years old and just wants somewhere to live out her retirement life with no plans and sleeping in. She enjoys sleeping in bed but will take a dog bed if needed.

Story
Tina is an older girl at 10 years old that just wants to sit next to you in the couch or be carried around. She would make an excellent partner for someone who just needs company. She was from a hoarding case and does well with other dogs. She would probably love to live with another small dog. Her past home did not take the dogs out and they used potty pads. In her current foster home she is just using diapers. She was slow to really open up at her current foster home but within a few days she was wagging her tail and pawing for attention. She is getting a dental as her two remaining teeth at unfortunately rotten. So she will be toothless. She is looking for her retirement home!

Rufus is a one-year-old black pit bull weighing 46 pounds, and he is pure joy wrapped in zoomies. This happy boy came to Ark with his mama, Sky, and has been winning hearts ever since. Rufus is playful, goofy, and always ready to burn off energy with his signature bursts of excitement—but when playtime is over, all he really wants is a cuddle buddy. He’s still learning the finer points of fetch and would love a family willing to teach him how to play ball and grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Rufus is ready for love, guidance, and a forever home to call his own.
