Story
We found Winnie by a Dollar General. We have four dogs all ready and she is getting along well with them. She is very happy and has a lot of energy. She is very wiggly and excited. She does pee when excited but nothing time and training won’t take care of. She is very people friendly and I think she would do well with kids. She’s still a pup (maybe four months) so she needs training but I haven’t noticed any behavioral red flags. She has a lot of energy so she needs more attention than we can currently give her. She looks like a lab/shepherd mix.

Story
Lucy will be 2 years old in January. She is a golden retriever mix. She has been spayed, heart-worm negative, & UTD on vaccines. She’s been on her monthly preventative each month. She’s potty trained. Lucy is a very shy & timid dog. Once she gets comfortable she is less timid. Lucy requires a very specific type of a home. She’s afraid of dogs barking & the noises from traffic. She will do better in a home where she isn’t left alone often, has a fully fenced in yard, and a house that doesn’t sit close to other homes or on a busy road. If your neighbors are close, but they don’t have outdoor dogs that bark, that will be fine. Lucy needs someone who has a lot of patience & someone who has had experiences with dogs like her. You just need to earn her trust. She will do better being the only dog & with kids who are ages 8 and older. Don’t let all of this scare you. She is very friendly & loves to cuddle. She is misunderstood and she just takes longer to get comfortable.

Story
Hound mix UTD, spayed Good with other dogs Lucy is about six years old, weighs around fifty pounds, and has tested negative for heartworms.  She came in as a stray with puppies, and although her puppies have all found homes, Lucy hadn't had much human interaction so she needed time to adjust.  She is very good in her kennel and will now walk on a leash but is still very wary of people.  Although she is still a work in progress, we would love a caring foster or adopter to bring her home and continue working with her to show love and how to trust.  If you think you can provide a secure, patient home, please submit an application from our website eastmsanimalrescue.com.         In order to be considered for the adoption process, please fill out the adoption pre-interview form located HERE. This form MUST be COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED before inquiring about adoption. A representative from EMAR will respond in a timely manner.

Story
Beagle/Terrier mix UTD neutered Peanut is about four and an half years old, weighs 35 pounds, has tested negative for heartworms, and is kennel-trained.  He was pulled from the local Animal Control where he was not eligible for adoption due to being on the shy side.  He is still afraid of people but has made great strides in his foster home; with a patient person, a confident canine friend, and a securely fenced-in yard we're sure he'll settle in and show how gentle he is!  He loves sleeping on the sofa, and although he currently is not comfortable on a leash he is quite food motivated.     In order to be considered for the adoption process, please fill out the adoption pre-interview form located HERE.
