Story
Meet Mini, a 4-year-old mama dog whose greatest wish is finally having a family of her own. Mini was found behind an abandoned school in Puerto Rico with her puppies, doing everything she could to keep them safe. With little shelter and no one looking out for them, life was incredibly difficult. Despite the odds, Mini never gave up on her babies. Thankfully, rescue stepped in and gave this deserving family a second chance.

Since then, Mini has spent many months in a loving foster home, learning that she no longer has to worry about survival. Her puppies have grown, and now it is finally Mini's turn to be cared for.

She has blossomed into an incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate dog who loves being close to her people. After years of putting everyone else first, Mini is discovering how wonderful it feels to receive love in return. She has adapted beautifully to life in a home and is working on being house trained. Mini is happiest when she is curled up nearby, soaking up attention and companionship. Mini has all the qualities that make a wonderful family dog. She is calm, loving, grateful, and eager to be part of a family. She carries herself with a quiet sweetness that makes everyone who meets her fall in love.

She is currently in Puerto Rico but is ready to travel to either a foster home or her forever home in the States, whichever opportunity comes first. Transportation is included in her adoption fee. Mini spent years being a devoted mother and protector. Now she deserves a chance to simply be someone's beloved dog. She has done the hard part. All she needs now is a family willing to give her the happy ending she has waited so patiently for.

Story
Maybel — short for Maybelline — is a stunning 10-month-old girl with the most striking blue eyes that look like she’s wearing perfect eyeliner all the time. At around 50 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, affectionate companionship. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and already doing wonderfully with potty training and leash training. Maybel is great with other dogs and has such a loving, gentle personality once she feels safe and comfortable. Like many rescue dogs, she can be a little hesitant around men at first, but with patience and kindness she quickly begins to open up and show her sweet, goofy side. Maybel is looking for a family that will continue helping her build confidence and show her that the world can be a safe, loving place. In return, she’ll give endless loyalty, cuddles, and those unforgettable blue-eyed stares.

Story
His story is a heartbreaking one. When his owner passed away, her grandchildren threw Pinky and his sibling out onto the street. Eventually, they were found living in a makeshift pen, trying to survive after losing the only home they had ever known. One by one, his siblings found families of their own. Now Pinky is the last one left waiting for his turn. Despite everything he has been through, Pinky remains a joyful, loving little dog who greets each day with optimism and a wagging tail. Pinky is in great health and wonderful shape. You would never guess he was 8 years old. While he is not fully potty trained, he is making progress, and belly bands work wonderfully for him while he continues to learn. He is currently being fostered in Puerto Rico and is ready to travel to a foster or forever home anywhere in the United States. Transportation is included in his adoption fee. After losing his home and watching all of his siblings leave for families of their own, Pinky deserves a soft place to land. If you have a lap, a few treats, and room in your heart, Pinky is ready to love you forever.

Story
Meet Brunson - The Big Hearted. At just 2 years old and 25 pounds, Brunson is proof that some dogs are born with hearts too big for the world they've been given. Brunson was abandoned behind a government building in Puerto Rico, where he spent over a month trying to survive on his own. The wooded area behind the building was home to packs of other dogs, and because Brunson is naturally so friendly, he constantly tried to make friends. Sadly, many of those encounters ended with him being attacked. Again and again, he approached other dogs with a wagging tail, never understanding why they didn't want to play.

Today, Brunson is living in foster care in Puerto Rico, and he has blossomed into the sweetest companion imaginable. He is incredibly affectionate and happiest when he's curled up next to his people. He's a laid-back, sleepy boy who would much rather spend the afternoon cuddling on the couch than causing any trouble. He loves everyone he meets and gets along beautifully with kids, cats, and other dogs. His foster describes him as the kind of dog who simply wants to love and be loved.

After everything he's been through, Brunson deserves a family that will never leave him behind again. He is currently being fostered in Puerto Rico and is available for adoption throughout the United States. Transportation to his forever home is included in his adoption fee.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate best friend with a heart of gold, Brunson is waiting patiently to meet you.

Story
This is Lady! She is a rescue that we adopted about 2 years ago. She loves people and animals, but has a couple of things that slow her down, the first being that she has a bad eye and the second being her back legs have a defect that she has genetically. She had surgery on one leg that ended up not taking so her legs are still about the same. She has a hard time on hardwood/tile but gets around okay other than that! Lady is extremely tolerant of children and still loves to play tug of war and run around despite her difficulties. The main reason we are posting her is that we want her to be able to live a full and happy life and fear with multiple children and a small yard we will not be able to give her that.
