Story
Hi, I’m Beesly! I’m a beautiful Australian Shepherd/Pit Bull Terrier mix, professional cuddle buddy, and self-appointed supervisor of the household. My foster family likes to call me a bit of a mother hen because I like to keep tabs on everyone and make sure things are running the way I think they should. I’m incredibly smart; I know some tricks, and I’m always paying attention to what’s happening around me. I enjoy playing, but I’m not bouncing off the walls. I’m just as happy taking a nap, going for a car ride, or hanging out with my favorite person. And when I say favorite person, I mean I REALLY like my people. I’m sweet, cuddly, give the best hugs, and would happily spend my days right by your side. I do have some separation anxiety and currently take medication to help me manage it. I’ve been making great progress in my foster home and have even discovered that I love my kennel! It’s become my cozy little retreat where I like to curl up with my stuffies. I’ll need a family who understands my anxiety and can continue helping me feel safe and secure. I’m wonderful with kids and do great with other dogs, although I may occasionally feel the need to remind them of the household rules. I can also live with cats, but I’m a little more selective about which feline friends make the cut. Oh, and one more thing: I’m a talker! I have thoughts, opinions, and occasionally some important announcements to make. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate girl who gives great hugs, loves deeply, and will happily serve as your little shadow and household supervisor, I might be exactly who you’ve been looking for. Love, Beesly

Story
Hi, I’m Little Bo Peep! I’m a senior gal looking for a very special kind of person… someone willing to give me the time and space to decide that you’re my person. I came to Homeward after my previous owner experienced some medical issues and could no longer care for me, and adjusting to a new life has been a lot for a little old lady like me. I’ll be upfront: I don’t hand out my affection to just anyone. I can be timid and definitely have some stranger danger, so it takes me a while to warm up to new people. I’m also a bit set in my ways and appreciate people who understand my boundaries. But once I decide I love you? Oh boy, do I love you. I’m an incredibly loyal little lap dog who would gladly spend the entire day curled up on you or being carried around in your arms. With the people I trust, I’m affectionate, devoted, and happiest when I can be as close to them as possible. Because I like life on my own terms, I’m looking for a quiet, adult-only home with someone patient and experienced who won’t rush me and will let our relationship develop at my pace. Like many senior gals, I need a little extra care. I take medications for arthritis and urinary health, and I have glaucoma, so my person will need to be comfortable keeping up with my medical needs. I know I’m not going to be the dog who falls in love with everyone she meets, and that’s okay. I’m just looking for that special someone to call my own, and when I find them, they’ll get all the love this little old lady has to give. Love, Little Bo Peep

Story
Hi, I’m Lulamae! I’m a sweet, silly girl with a laid-back personality, a playful side, and plenty of love to give. At 5 years old, I think I’ve got this whole “being a good dog” thing pretty well figured out. I’m housetrained, crate trained, and happiest just being part of whatever my people are doing. Whether we’re heading out for a car ride, hitting the trails for a hike, playing a good game of tug-of-war, or curling up together for some quality cuddle time, I’m happy as long as I’m with you. I have a nice, moderate energy level, so I’m always up for some fun, but I also know how to relax and enjoy the quieter moments. At night, I may gently wander around the house for a bit before settling in, and then I’ll snooze quietly until I hear you getting up. Of course, I’ll be ready and waiting when it’s time for breakfast! If you’re looking for an affectionate, goofy companion who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle buddy, I think we might be a perfect match. Come meet me! XOXO, Lulamae
