Story
Chanel is a good dog 4 year old dog that I rescued from a shelter but I have another chihuahua and my OTHER chihuahua bullies Chanel. They do not get along. Chanel is not good around kids and hides from men. Chanel has bit my daughter (my daughter is 35 yrs old) while my daughter was babysitting her. The bite wasn’t bad but my daughter doesn’t want to watch her anymore. I have to start traveling and can’t find anyone to babysit Chanel.

Story
Luna came to us at 8 weeks last December. Very active and curious. She loves attention and cuddles. Loves people and loves children. Potty trained and will tell you when she has to go outside. Will ask for a treat after. Lol. My husband and I both work. So we don’t really have much time left to dedicate to her. We now have a 3 month old baby plus 2 other kids, so things are a bit tough. She chews on everything and anything when she finds herself bored. I hope to find her a nice warm home with kids and somebody who will take her outside for walks everyday.

Story
Princess is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier weighing 43 pounds, and she is ready to find her happily ever after. This sweet girl came to us as an owner surrender after her owner became ill and fell on hard times. Through no fault of her own, Princess found herself in a shelter, and to say she is feeling overwhelmed is an understatement. She is very scared in this unfamiliar environment, but we know that underneath that uncertainty is a heart full of love just waiting to blossom in a home of her own.And oh, what a sweetheart she is. Princess is the kind of girl who will become your permanent shadow. Wherever you go, she`ll want to go, too. She`ll follow you to the ends of the earth, melt right into your lap if you let her, and remind you every day that you are her favorite person. She even has the sweetest little grumble, almost as if she`s saying, `Thank you!` when she`s happy. And when it comes to taking treats, she is as gentle as they come.Princess currently has a low-to-medium energy level. She knows how to sit on command and is VERY food motivated, which should make learning new things a breeze. Walking on a leash is still a mystery to her. She isn`t quite sure where she`s supposed to go, so she`ll need a patient person to help her learn the ropes and build her confidence. With a little encouragement and some tasty treats, we think she`ll catch on in no time.Princess is reported to be dog friendly, too. This lovely girl recently raised a litter of puppies, and now it`s finally her turn to be someone`s baby. Her puppy-producing days are behind her, and she deserves to spend the rest of her life being spoiled, cherished, and loved. Compatibility with cats and children is unknown. Princess will be available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, meaning you can welcome her into your home while she completes her spay procedure. She is already vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is currently being treated for skin and ear infections. She can also gain some weight. Princess just needs someone willing to give her a little time, a little patience, and a whole lot of love. We have a feeling that once she feels safe, she`ll blossom into the most devoted, loving companion you could ever ask for.Are you ready to give this sweet girl the chance she deserves? If you`d like to add Princess to your family, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete a dog adoption application online. Princess`s adoption fee is $160. Let`s make sure this princess finally gets the happily ever after she deserves.

Story
Meet Daisy — Your Adorable Mini Cow! Moo-ve over, everyone! Daisy is looking for a family to call her own, and this sweet girl is ready to steal your heart! With her adorable black-and-white cow markings, happy tail wags, and signature tippy-toe dance when she sees you, Daisy is a whole lot of love wrapped up in one cute little package.Daisy is a female Boxer/Mastiff mix weighing 60 pounds, and she’ll be celebrating her 3rd birthday on December 29th. She came to us as an owner surrender due to a divorce in the family, and now she’s hoping her next chapter will be filled with love, adventure, and a forever home.Daisy can be a little nervous in the shelter, but once she’s out of her kennel, she’s ready to GO, GO, GO! She’s a happy, sweet, and social girl who loves attention and enjoys getting outside for physical activities. Just be prepared — if Daisy spots a squirrel, she may suddenly decide she’s training for the squirrel-chasing Olympics. Daisy is strong on leash, so she’ll need a confident, strong handler who can help her put her best paw forward. Using an easy walk harness or gentle lead can help with that.Once Daisy gets to know you, her friendly personality shines. She has a medium energy level and would love an active family who can give her plenty of opportunities to explore, exercise, and enjoy life. She previously lived with another dog and did well, so a canine companion may be a possibility with proper introductions. As always, a meet and greet is required with your dog is required. She also lived with children and did well. She has no exposure to cats.Daisy also has some great house manners! Her previous owner reports that she is housetrained, and she keeps her kennel clean here at the shelter. She was accustomed to sleeping in her crate at night and knows her basic commands of “sit” and “stay.” The good news? Daisy is ready to start her new life. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $160.If you`re looking for a sweet, social, adventure-loving companion with a wiggly tail, a little tippy-toe dance, and the cutest mini-cow look around, Daisy might just be your girl!Daisy is ready to moo-ve right into your heart! Could you be the family she`s been waiting for? Come meet this adorable girl and give her the loving forever home she deserves.
