Story
Petite and AgileAddison `Addie` spent over a year in a scary shelter, overlooked because she was too terrified to show her true self, just cowered in the back of her kennel, frozen on her bed. The staff of the shelter identified her as one of their residents who desperately needed to be OUT of the shelter to thrive and to have a chance at a future. So she came to me. The first few days were heartbreaking - she trembled at the end of a leash, her tail stayed tucked - always, avoided eye contact. But then one day, it happened, that little tail tip wagged, ever so slightly, still tucked, but it was a major step. After that the growth came faster day by day. And with the help of her foster brother, Joe, she is blossoming into a `real dog!` Addie is surely a mixed breed, but appears may some Feist in her blood. But we don`t know, we just ran her through some programs and they said Feist, rat terrier and staffordshire terrier. She is beautiful, sleek, loves to chase balls and is incredibly fast. She is an athletic girl who lives for a game of fetch and will happily bring the ball right back to you everytime, well, almost. Once the playing is done, she heads straight for her `special spot` on the sofa to snuggle up and relax.Addie is still getting over her fear, making progress daily. When her guard is down she asks for pets, loves to play fetch and loves her soft bed and blanket inside too. She is very food-motivated, which is making her training a breeze! She is currently working hard on her leash walking skills and gaining confidence every day. She loves her foster brother, Joe, and would thrive in a home with another dog to keep her company. She is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and heartworm negative.Addie needs a patient family willing to work with her, to continue showing her that the world is a safe place. If you have a tennis ball and a cozy spot on your sofa, Addie might be your perfect match!

Story
Sonny is my mother’s dog. She recently moved into an assisted living facility as did her next door neighbor who had Lucy, Sonny’s best friend. They spent hours each day playing. So in just a couple of weeks his playmate left and then his owner. Me and my older son have been taking care of him, but he really needs a home. I have a young son who Sonny is scared of and he’s shown aggression to little boys, so I cannot bring him to my home. He’s friendly towards all of the neighbors and there are two who will occasionally walk him. He’s been very well taken care of and would be an amazing companion to a single or couple without young children. And, he’s a great watchdog.
