Story
Meet Russ! Found at a park in Ponce, Puerto Rico. After speaking to a local, we found out that he was dumped there a month ago. It's obvious that he was owned by the way he acts. He's good on a leash and loves to be close to you. We are estimating Russ to be about 5 years old. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heart worm negative. He is good with children and calm dogs. He loves toys and once he has a toy in his mouth, his favorite game is "keep away". He will let you chase after him for hours to get the toy back. Russ is such a handsome boy who deserves a home to call his own. Can it be you? To adopt, please fill out an application: https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 A little bit about a Carolina Dog:  The Carolina dog is a medium-size breed known for its tall and pointed ears, long snout, and lithe frame. They are also known as “American dingoes” or “Dixie dingoes” because they resemble the famous  Australian dingo . But rather than being from the land down under, this breed is actually descended from wild dogs found in the United States, but with a gentle nature that makes it an  ideal family pet .  The Carolina dog may just be the epitome of a man’s best friend: loyal, playful, protective, and always up for an adventure. A relatively new breed to domestication, Carolina dogs are known for being extremely devoted companions to the humans they bond with. They have a strong pack mentality, so being close to their family unit is a must for these athletic, energetic pets. *What is a Sato? Satos (pronounced with a short A) are a type of dog rather then a breed.  The name is Puerto Rican slang for “street dog,” but they are also known as Puerto Rican Found Dogs in the U.S. They are the homeless dogs, or urban free-ranging dogs, that live in Puerto Rican cities. Satos are small to medium dogs, usually not more than 35-40lbs. They have large ears that flop, long snouts and legs that seem just a tiny bit too short for their bodies. Their fur varies from a short thick coat to longer, feathery details on the tail and ears. They come in every color imaginable.May 29, 2023, 5:46 pm

Story
Hi I’m Jabba and I’m looking for my forever home! Unlike my namesake I am a sweet pup with lots of love to give. I’m a year old Chihuahua mix and weigh 20 pounds full grown. When I’m not stealing ice cubes and begging for belly rubs I love to lounge around with my foster sisters. I’m the perfect size for your lap! I can be shy at first but once I warm up I love to snuggle and play! If you’re looking for the perfect mix of fun and cuddling then I’m just the right fit for you. Jabba is good with other dogs and older children. To meet Jabba, please fill out an adoption application:  https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 What is a Sato?
