Meet Ellie aka Stella – The Sweetest Cuddler! Ellie is a loving, middle-aged pup with big, soulful eyes that can melt any heart. She’s friendly and gets along with everyone—kids, dogs, you name it! So excited to meet new people, she’ll even talk to greet them with a happy bark or two. Ellie loves going for walks and will happily relax by your side, no jumping! At 8 years old, she does need some medication, including a thyroid pill, and occasional treatment for her past yeast infections, but she’s healthy and enjoys regular baths. She’s a gentle soul who’ll repay your love with endless affection. If you're ready to give this sweet girl a soft bed and a forever home, visit: http://napetrescue.org/adopt

Story
Dog's Name: Jet Gender: Male Current Age: 8 months Current Weight: 10 lbs Breed: Pomeranian mix Energy Level: Medium Dog Friendly: Yes, and can have other dogs in the home or can be an only dog. Cat Friendly: Unknown Kids: No Apartment Friendly: No Fence Requirements: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home / Adopter: Looking for loving home to help work on his confidence. He loves people once he earned your trust. He wants a home where he can be his silly self and then cuddle up with a movie Likes: Loves toys, following his foster sister, walks Dislikes: May not like a hectic house or rowdy kids Meet Jet! After living outside on a tie-out, this 8-month-old, 10-lb small breed mix is incredibly thankful for indoor living and air conditioning! He can be a little unsure at first but builds trust quickly and will soon be your best friend! Jet is sweet, loves cuddles, enjoys playing with toys, and gets along well with the dogs he has met. He would thrive in a home where he can continue to build confidence and receive plenty of love and playtime. He can either be a solo pup or live with other dogs. Due to his size and temperament, a home with older children, if any, would be best. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, deworming, and the dog will be current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. ##2803061##

She thrives with structure, routine, and someone committed to continuing the great progress she's already made. Likes:Halo loves walks, playtime, snacks, belly rubs, and spending time with her people. She's highly food motivated, making training one of her favorite activities, and she loves learning new things in exchange for a tasty reward. Dislikes:Halo can be a little vocal in her crate if she thinks she's missing out on the fun, but this has improved significantly with training.

Halo is currently on a daily anxiety medication that has made a tremendous difference, and she takes it easily with a spoonful of peanut butter. With consistency, structure, and plenty of opportunities to learn, Halo is an affectionate, fun companion who is ready to keep shining.

Likes: Chassis’ favorite song on Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album is definitely honeybee. Coincidentally, that’s also her favorite Blake Shelton song.
