Story
CROSSPOSTING for another rescue group Meet Mister! This is my new foster boy, Mister. I am fostering him for Tall Tails Rescue and Transport. He’s about 2 years old and when you look up “Velcro dog” in the dictionary, you see his picture. He’s a combination of sweet and silly. He gets along just fine with other little dogs and was uninterested in the cat. His favorite obsessions include: 1. Stealing foster moms shoes. Not chewing them, just moving them to a new location. 2. Scaling walls and jumping leaps and bounds to get to his human. (Again, not destructive, he just has a touch of the Single White Female gene. Obsess much?) 3. Chewing his bully stick. 4. Taste testing every single bowl of food, just a nibble. He’s making sure it’s safe to eat. Mister also appears to be housebroken. He has not peed or pooped or attempted to mark in my home. He is a chihuahua mixed with kangaroo. He would love someone to share EVERYTHING with. If you’re doin it, so is he! A smart boy with so much love to give. Currently in NY but can be adopted anywhere if you’re willing to drive for him. Email talltailstransport@yahoo.com for an application.

Story
9/15/23... Millie is doing much better and her skin issues seem to be under control now. She is on a special food which is inexpensive. Millie may be an older gal, but she is still full of energy and loves to play and hang out with other dogs. 12/19.... Millie is currently on hold until we can figure out her skin issues. Thank you for your patience. Meet beautiful Millie. Millie is a senior who enjoys shorter walks, daily naps in her favorite recliner. She also enjoys helping her foster mom with some gardening although she'd rather sit on the porch and supervise. She really loves women and seems leary of men who wear hats. She will bark when people come to the house. She will continue to bark until she gets the cue from her foster mom that it is ok. She is crate trained and housebroken. The perfect home for Millie would be someone who is home most of the day and can just let her relax and enjoy her senior years. She would also benefit from having another laid back dog in the home. We do not know how she would do with cats. If you are the perfect family for Miss Millie, please submit an application. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, flea treated, spayed and also received a dental. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335

Story
This beautiful loving lady is Princess a 5 year old pit/beagle mix. Princess was a owner surrender because of a landlord who just truly never took the chance to get to know princess. Princess was only judged by her name “pit” and honestly princess is the shining example of what the breed stands for. Princess is loving, kind and is honestly the best dog anyone could ask for. Princess barks or whines to go out she doesn’t need a kennel and even walks politely on a leash! Princess is even a HUGE fan of kids of all ages! This lovely lady is also a fan of dogs of all sizes and even cats! There’s really nothing bad about this cute little pint sized pitty. Princess loves to cuddle and play which makes her the perfect family pet! Princess would do well in almost any home as she seems to adjust well with some cuddle time. If you would like to meet this lovely lady, please submit an application. Please note that all current pets must be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335

Story
Apala is a beautiful little girl who is also a parvo survivor. She is sweet and affectionate. She is suprisingly calm for her young age, but is also very playful. She is eager to please, love to play and LOVES snuggle time. Apala is very friendly with other dogs. We would recommend a home with dogs of her size or even larger. She is create trained, although she'd rather not be in one. Barks at first, but settles down quickly. 95% house trained. She is been exposed to small children, although not too sure about them (depending on their age), has shown no signs of aggression. She is working on basic things such as sit and down. If interested in meeting this beautiful girl, please submit an application. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335
