Story
Say hello to darling little Peggy. Look at that face! That awesome hairdo! She came to us when her former owner passed away and she was brought to a shelter. Peggy is a senior girl, about 10 years old. She is looking for a quiet, peaceful home to enjoy her golden years (so no young kids, please). We don't know what her past life was like, but she has some fear issues and is going to require a patient adopter who will allow her time and space to get to know them. She loves just sleeping quietly beside you while you work or watch TV. She is hard to catch if there is something she doesn't want to do, such as going outside, so she needs a home with someone who can work with her on that. She also requires a fenced yard, as she tries to bolt when frightened. She is not a dog who wants to go out and about. She was absolutely terrified when she recently went to the vet, including in the car, so she just wants to stay home and enjoy the security of that. She gets extremely stressed in the car, so a home in close proximity to her foster home is needed. She does not like pesty dogs getting her space and will warn them, so a home with active dogs would not be a match, but a low-key, respectful older small dog would be fine. Peggy weighs about 12 lbs and she is hoping to find a home where someone is home a lot of the time. She will give you lots of snuggle time sitting close beside you on the couch in return. (Peggy is being fostered in TN)

Story
********** ADOPTION PENDING *************** Introducing Lily and Zeplin, a charming bonded pair of 9 year old Cresteds. Lily is the powderpuff girl and Zeplin is the hairless boy. They came to our rescue after a good Samaratin found them running loose down the middle of the road. She was able to locate the owner, who said the dogs were always escaping from the yard and she didn't want them anymore. So here they are, safe and sound! They absolutely MUST be adopted as a pair. We will not split them up, so don't ask. Zeplin is quite timid. He spent the first 3 weeks at his foster home on a chair under a blanket. He is slowly starting to come out of his shell and loves going outside with his person, while Lily prefers to follow you absolutely everywhere. She is the more outgoing of the two and is Zeplin's security blanket. When he had a vet appointment and she stayed home, they both got extremely upset and screamed to let us know they were not happy being apart! They both ride nicely in the car. They require a fenced yard, as they were used to running off at their former home, so they need a fence to be kept secure. Zeplin is housetrained, while Lily is still working on that skill, which will be an ongoing process. They are looking for a quiet, patient home that understands they will take a while to open up and blossom. They need a home without young kids, where someone is home a lot of the time. They are looking forward to finally being a treasured part of someone's life. (Lily & Zeplin are being fostered in northeastern Ohio)

Story
This is Otis. Otis was born in the Ukraine. We got him when he was just a puppy. I hate to have to get rid of him. This breaks my heart. We have two other dogs and two cats. Otis does not get along with any of the other animals. He would do great as an only pet. He is super snuggly and enjoys just cuddling.
