I will need a little extra time to trust, but I promise if you give me a chance you won’t regret it. Meet Frankie – Your future walking buddy and life tour guide. Frankie’s two favorite things are treats and walks. He will sit nicely for treats, and he walks well on leash. Walking with Frankie is fun! And if given the opportunity he will pick his route for where is wants to explore. Frankie has a plan for his adventure, and he wants to share it with you. He prefers walking off road so put on those hiking shoes. Frankie proudly carries his toy in his mouth on ALL his walks. Heads turn. Smiles bloom. Strangers stop mid-conversation just to say, Aww!” Frankie takes a little time to warm up to new folks – think of it as earning a VIP pass to his inner circle. Once he feels safe, be ready for him to melt your heart when he stares into your eyes and gives you kisses. Frankie deserves all your love and prefers to be the one and only pet in your home.

So, if you’re ready for a walking buddy with charm, character, and strong opinions about mail carriers? Frankie’s your guy! Like he mentioned earlier, you won’t regret it.

Story
BONITA Good With Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: Unknown Good With Kids: Yes Kennel Trained: yes DOB: 7/09/25 Spayed: No Current Weight; Fully Grown – Medium sized Bonita/Nita/Bon Bon – The Queen of Hush Puppies Bonita is everything little girls are made of—sugar, spice, and a whole lot of sass. This delightfully charming tri-colored Shepherd mix doesn’t just think she’s royalty… she knows it. And honestly? So do her foster siblings—because Bonita rules the yard like it’s her kingdom. Full of energy, attitude, and puppy charm, Bonita is the kind of pup who walks into a room and owns it. One look from her big brown eyes and—poof!—you’re wrapped around her little paw. Resistance is futile. She’s cute, she knows it, and she’s not afraid to use it. When she finally slows down (rare, but magical), Bonita loves a good cuddle session and some well-earned belly scratches. She also has a surprising fondness for bearded gentlemen... don't ask, it's just her thing.  Outdoors? That’s her playground. Bonita lives for zoomies, jungle-style adventures through tall grass, leaping over weeds, diving into random holes, and—most importantly—winning stick wars like it’s an Olympic sport. She’s bold, fearless, and unstoppable. Did we mention she’s scary smart? This clever girl mastered the doggie door in two days flat—something her brothers haven’t even attempted. She’s basically a ninja puppy, sneaking in and out of places without a sound. One minute she’s there, the next… she's off chasing butterflies or plotting world domination (or at least sock theft). Bonita is playful, curious, and full of personality. She loves people and other dogs, but she's also respectful of boundaries and quick to pick up on social cues. Bonita is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to bring some serious joy, laughter, and adventure into the life of her lucky forever family.  Ready to welcome this bold, beautiful and brilliant firecracker you’re your life? Apply to meet Bonita at emotionalrescuedogs.org. You will not be able to resist her. Your royal highness awaits. ##2535539##

Story
DOB 7.25.25 Kelpie/Chihuahua mix Kennel trained Dog friendly (submissive) Vaccinated, microchipped, neutered Weight: about 20 pounds Engaging and people friendly Meet Marlon Brandog — the charming older puppy with a heart of gold. This handsome boy is friendly, goofy, and endlessly affectionate. He greets people with wagging tail and bright eyes, loves cuddles, and is happiest when included in family activities. He's a smaller breed (he's kind of a mystery) and is relatively quiet. Marlon is dog-friendly and sociable — he enjoys playtime and makes fast friends with other pups. Calm enough for relaxed evenings but playful enough for walks and games, he’s an easygoing companion for many home types. He responds well to gentle, consistent guidance and kindness.. Ideal home: someone who wants a loyal, affectionate dog with puppy energy tempered by a sensible, older-puppy temperament. Great with other dogs, ready to join family outings, and eager to give and receive love. Interested in meeting Marlon Brandog? Come say hello — he’s ready to steal your heart.

Story
Moses Moses is a Big hunk O Love on three legs. He's had a rough start in life: starving, dumped with mange and a broken leg with exposed bone. Rescue changed his life and he thinks he won the lottery. His leg was amputated, his mange healed and Regular meals took care of the starvation. He appreciates getting Zertec every day to help his eyes not water from mild allergies. It's an effective solution! Moses is a good looking dog with a personality to match. He's a big, silly guy, close to 80 pounds, preferring to go potty while lifting his back leg. Pretty standard stuff for a boy dog but Moses only has one back leg. He's a born acrobat! Moses is a well behaved guy, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and Neutered. He also does fine with other dogs and adores attention. He'll be a wonderful family addition. To meet him, apply at emotionalrescuedogs.org. His adoption fee is $450. ##2420961##

Story
Hi, I’m Johnny – I may look like a Lab-Boxer mix, but in my heart, I’m 100% lap dog – just ask anyone who’s ever sat down near me. I’m 3 years old and my interests include giving cuddles and staring into your soul until you give me treats (it works every time). I was found wandering the streets of Hastings and have been hanging out at the shelter waiting for my forever family. So…got a couch? Got snacks? Let’s meet, you sound perfect!Meet Johnny – Your future snack connoisseur and aspiring lap dog. He is the cuddle champion with the most soulful eyes you’ve ever seen. Fun-sized floof missile (okay, medium-large, but don’t tell him that). A certified snuggle expert who thinks “personal space” is a suggestion…and not a very good one. This goofy boy lives for belly rubs and couch cuddles. He’s got enough love to warm your whole house – and then some. Now, full disclosure, Johnny has a habit of taste-testing things he probably shouldn’t…particularly tissues. But hey, he’s just helping you become a tidier person! While we’re not sure how Johnny feels about other animals or children, he loves people, but he prefers a polite “hello.” He walks great on leash, but let’s be real – his true passion is lounging like royalty by your side. A walk is just the warm-up for his main event: couch cuddles and snack sessions.Are you are looking for an affection dispenser on four legs? A world-class snack enthusiast who will never judge you on your snack choices – yours, his, mystery crumbs on the floor? Then Johnny is your guy. He’s waiting to steal your heart and maybe your spot on the couch.
