Story
Hi! My name's Penny, I’m a 5yo hound/lab mix, looking for a new “fur-ever” home! I like other dogs, but I'm an attention hound so being the only dog in the house might be more fun! I don't mind cats, and they're fun to chase. Things in a cage or aquarium are pretty boring. I don’t mind young humans, but the older ones are a lot more gentle with me. Things that I love: *WALKIES! I have a cool leash and everything! *Getting the zoomies (inside & outside!) *Playing with my human is fun! *My human coming home after being gone all day long *Playing with my loud squeaky toy or my duckie! *TREATS! Especially those meaty kabobs! *Leaping through fresh snow! *CAR RIDES! *Pup cups are amazing! *Chasing cats (even when they don't want to play with me) *Taking over half of the space on a human bed Things that I don’t love: *Water touching me, like rain. It feels yucky! *Being left alone too much. It makes me sad *Being allergic to ragweed. Makes my tummy itchy *No one believes I'm a pomeranian!

Story
Beau is a high strung pup who loves his people. He always wants to be with his people and often get anxiety due to his environment. He does well with other dogs but gets anxious around children with their unpredictable movements and loud noises. He is my best friend, a loyal and loving companion. My parents however are unable to keep him. Beau needs someone who has the train him. He also would thrive with someone who owns land, someone who could be a leader to Beau. He loves to go on walks and runs and does very well. He is very gentle, but jumps when he gets excited. He has a bite history, although they were nips when he had been harmed. Never serious inquiry requiring stitches. He is a very loving dog. Anyone interested please reach out as I’d love to find him the best home. Also Beau has a younger sister named Gertie, she is a gentle soul and they love each other. We are open to letting both of them be adopted together.

Story
Meet Miss Faith! She is a rambunctious, smart, sweet puppy. We estimate her to be almost 2 years old. She came to us from a severe neglect case, and was extremely skinny and unsocialized. She has come a long way since she was rescued, but still has a lot of learning to do. She loves her people once she trusts them, but has some insecurities, so slow introductions with people are key. She loves to snuggle, give kisses, and spend time chilling on the couch. She also loves to fetch and go for walks. Essentially, she is a puppy in a 2 year old body, that loves to love but has a lot of world to discover!! By the way she LOVES men, so if you are a guy looking for a new furry companion, she is your girls!!!Faith is curently in a board and train facility in LaCrosse WI (this is where her meet and greet will occur), where they are teaching her to trust new people. She does great with men and will give you a longing look until you decide to come over and say hi. She is slower to meet women, but if you avoid initial eye contact at first, and use her name with treats, she adjusts quickly. She has learned that fellow furry friends are a great thing and LOVES to play! She needs a low energy, confident dog as dogs with aniexty only feed hers. Additionally, we would also recommend a home without young children. She is so powerful, that littles may get knocked over during play time. We think with more training and discipline, she could settle into a home with older kids, but now she just has too much enery behind her love. Ideally, we are looking for a patient, disciplined adopter that can help Faith learn and grow the proper way to associate with her humans and canine friends. We know she can be a champion for her breed, and we want a family that will help her do that. She is a determined, smart, goofy girl that needs boundaries and rules to learn how life works and teach her the tools to be successful! Please at least consider a meeting to see if she is a good fit for you. We think she is truly a diamond in the rough, that deserves to have a loving family! Faith's adoption fee is $475 and will arrive fully vetted, altered, and microchipped. If interested in Faith, please fill out an application at www.newbeganimalrescue.org ##989459##

Story
Chloe is a sweet, wonderful girl two year old border collie mix. She’s great with kids but would probably be best as the only dog in the home. There has been occasional aggression between her and our other dog and other dogs as well. We’re trying to rehome her because we had a surprise baby a year and a half ago and we recently moved to Minnesota and we just aren’t able to give her the home she deserves. We also don’t have a fenced in yard anymore and she hasn’t been able to be as active as she’s used to. She really is a great dog and it breaks our hearts to get rid of her but it’s for the best. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about her. She has not been fixed yet and as of today her Distemper booster is due but hopefully we’ll be able to get that addressed soon.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.To speed up the adoption process, please complete our Pre-Adoption Application.Hello, I am ready for my new forever home.**Foster Pupdate!**Brown Sugar Cinnamon, lovingly known as BSC, has tons of love to give, and loves a good adventure. Her ideal home has lots of belly rubs, outdoor time, and some chew toys. She prefers kids who are well behaved, rowdy kids make her a bit nervous so she'd rather walk away from that chaos. She is a perfect car companion and loves to go for a drive. Dog friends are great! She has shown too much focus on cats and other small animals, so she would do best in a home without those. She's done great at not having an accident in her foster home so she gets the privilege of sleeping in the bed. She loves to show off that she can give you a kiss while you're standing, but also that she's quick like lightning to roll over for some belly rubs!She does have a habit of jumping her foster's fence and digging. Prior to adoption I will be altered, vaccinated, health checked, dewormed, and micro-chipped. Adoption Fee $400 +taxes/feesIf you would like to meet me please fill out a pre-adoption application at www.tailsrescue.orgHappy Tails Adoption Center is open on Sundays from 12-5pm.

Please fill out a pre-adoption application so we know you are interested in meeting/adopting one of our animals.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.The breeds of our dogs and cats are a 'best guess.' We often do not know what mix they are and have to base it on what we think they look like, and base it on breeds often found in the area they came from. Most of our dogs who have gotten DNA tests done are 4-10 breeds mixed together. Because their breed mix is a guess we cannot guarantee a 'full grown size' of many of our younger animals.Interested in adopting me?
