Story
*** Bonded Pair--I must be adopted with my BFF Gabby ***Bonded Pair — I must be adopted with my BFF Gabby!Hello, I`m Gracie, an eight-year-old toy poodle with a big heart, expressive little face, and a serious appreciation for the finer things in life: fluffy beds, cozy blankets, and being as close to my favorite human as physically possible. My best friend Gabby and I were found together and spent three months at Animal Ark before heading into foster care. We`re a bonded pair, and our next adventure must be together!I`m a sensitive soul who may need a little time to feel comfortable with new people. Bring snacks, though, and we can probably speed up the friendship process! Once I know you`re safe, you`ll discover that I`m an exceptionally loving companion. I like to follow my person from room to room, curl up beside them, and gently paw for pets until they remind me that I`ve had enough.I`ve got plenty of personality packed into my little body. My facial expressions can make you laugh one minute and melt your heart the next. And when I`m really relaxed? I sometimes fall asleep with my little tongue hanging out the side of my mouth. It`s pretty adorable, if I do say so myself!I`m not much for toys, fetch, or long walks. I`d much rather enjoy a leisurely day of snuggling and napping. I`m a delicate girl who can be startled by unexpected bumps or sudden touches, so I`ll thrive with someone patient and gentle who respects my sensitive nature. Grooming can make me nervous, too, so I`ll need a gentle hand.As cute as I am, I do have a bossy side! Sometimes I get a little cranky if Gabby takes up too much of my bed or if someone else wants to be with my favorite person when I`m already snuggled up with them. I`m not above letting my feelings be known. I need a family who will gently remind me that behavior is not allowed rather than let me run the show. Luckily, Gabby is a happy-go-lucky girl who generally lets me have my little opinions.I`m still working on perfecting my potty-training skills. I`m making good progress with training pads, although I still have an occasional accident. I`ll do best with a patient family who can keep me on a routine. Gabby and I are like twin sisters with very different personalities. She brings the carefree fun, and I bring the cuddles. If you have room in your heart and home for both of us, submit an adoption application to arrange a meet-and-greet. I can`t wait to find my forever family with my best friend by my side!

BONITA   50% off!  Now only $250! Good With Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: Unknown Good With Kids: Yes Kennel Trained: yes DOB: 7/09/25 Spayed: yes 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
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 4 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! He can not go to a home with chidlren. 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.

Story
*** Currently in a foster home. Meet & Greet will be arranged with an approved adoption application. ***Hey! I’m Cody, a six-year-old Frenchie with a whole lot of opinions and a whole lot of love. I lived with one family my entire life, but as more kids arrived, things got a little too busy for me, and I’m the kind of guy who really likes having my people’s attention. Let’s get this out of the way: I enjoy being in charge. I’m funny, stubborn, and full of character, and I need someone who appreciates a dog with a big personality. If you’re confident, experienced, and enjoy a dog who keeps you laughing, we’ll get along great. My foster family reports that I have been doing great with their grandchild. For my doggie companions, I do best with dogs that are on the submissive end of the spectrum. I guess I am a bit of an alpha. With patience and slow introductions, I will learn to coexist with another dog. I’d also do well as on only pet. If you’re ready for a loyal, expressive, endlessly entertaining companion, I’m ready to pack my toys and move in.
