Story
A very cute doggo. She’s a mix between the rare Mudi and the not so rare husky/collie mix. I was forced out of my home and had to take her with me but I unfortunately can’t afford to take care of her long term. She’s very sweet. She does snap but it’s out of excitement, nothing bite wise. She loves to catch toys and run around. She also loves to cuddle. Free to a good home.

I would just like for them to be able to have the time to properly train him just on the basics and for him to have the space to get his energy out and be around. He is still a puppy at 8 months old born November 19 but a big puppy but very playful

Story
Bambi is a very affectionate dog. I've been with Bambi for the last two years and I love him very much. However, I'm a full-time college student who recently started working 40 hours a week and I can't take care of him as I'd like to. He is loose in the house but spend all day alone because I'm in in school or working. He is healthy. No illnesses. I'm able to provide medical records. He is up to date with vaccines. Personality: Pad trained, cuddler, loves to run/walk outside, picky eater, no illness, vaccines are up to date. I'd love to see Bambi with a big family that can spend more time with him.

She is being re-homed due to no fault of her own. She loves to cuddle, play fetch and get loved on. She is full of energy and lots of love. She can be a bit shy and hesitant when meeting new people but she will warm up. She will come with her cage (she is house broken), leash, dog bowls

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 1/27/19Some good samaritans found me roaming around as a stray.  They took me to the vet to get all my shots and then reached out to Rescue Ur Forever Friend asking if they could take me into their program.  Thank goodness they said yes! My foster mom says I have improved so much from when I first came to her home.  I do well with other dogs and I need another confident dog companion to continue to teach me to trust humans again. Since I am skittish, I would do best in a home with a fenced yard.  If you think you have the patience to work with me to make me my best self, I'd love to meet you.  (JB&DB/AF)   Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, spayed and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:  $100.00     Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 29, 2023, 3:27 pm
