Story
Ember is a sweet playful 2 month old pup who is on the hunt for her furever home. She loves to play with her sister, foster brother, and her 2 legged family. She is kennel trained, sleeps through night and love going outside to play and sniff around backyard when she wakes up. If you are interested in Ember, please complete the application. She is located in San Antonio, TX, but my adoption fee includes transport. I come fully vetted to age, fixed, microchipped and will get a health certificate before I travel if adopted out of state. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NAF/Dog

Story
Meet Autumn: Your Future Furry Friend! Autumn is ready for her forever home! This sweet girl arrived at the shelter on September 19, 2024, and is looking for a loving family to call her own. About Autumn: Breed: Boxer Mix Age: 5 years (DOB: 09/08/2019) Weight: 67 lbs Health: Up to date on rabies, distemper, and Lyme; current on heartworm prevention; spayed. Autumn has experience with children, having been around them from babies up. She does well with most dogs but doesn’t have any known history with cats. While she can be a bit shy around men, she warms up to women quickly and forms strong bonds once she feels safe. When Autumn first arrived, she was a bit stressed and scared, but with patience and love, she has shown her sweet personality! She enjoys going for walks and runs and does great in the car. While she may not be overly interested in toys just yet, she absolutely loves affection and will shower you with love once she trusts you. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with endless love, Autumn could be the perfect match for you! Interested in meeting Autumn? Come visit us at Franklin Animal Shelter and give this sweet girl the chance she deserves!

Story
Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.A year old Doberman PoodleSue is a very sweet Doberman and poodle mix pup. She’s about a year old. She was a rescue dog, kept with her two male siblings and was extremely timid as they bullied her. She’s come out of her shell here with us and my dogs and is doing fantastic. All of my dogs sleep in the room at night so they are house trained. She’s fantastic with kids and cats but a little shy at first. She was not socialized much for her first year of life. Her hair is wary rather curly so she is a no shed dog, but not curly which is good because wary hair does not mat and needs very little Grooming. We are located in Harrison, Arkansas, but the adoption fee does cover the transport to your location. I have a Facebook page where you can see lots of videos of Sue so don’t let distance be a deterrent.October 6, 2024, 8:30 pm
