Story
Nomi is originally from a Los Angeles shelter. She is 3 years old. She's been with her current owner for a little over a year. She is extremely loving and loyal but struggles with anxiety around new people and especially other dogs. She is extremely chill and loves to just curl up next to you either on the couch or in bed. She loves hunting for treats around the house and rolling in the grass in the park. She's pretty quiet when she settles into her environment but will be a great guard dog. She would do best in a home with no kids or other pets and with a set routine and few guests. She needs patience and love but will open up pretty quickly. She loves to go out and would do great in a quiet neighborhood with lots of fun things to smell.

Story
❤️Miss Fancy This precious girl is Miss Fancy ! She is a five month old Australia Shepherd. Fancy is in a loving foster home where she is happy, heathy and complete spoiled 🎉 Fancy loves other dogs and definitely wants a doggie playmate in her new home to teach her all the amazing doggie things 🐕. Being an Aussie means lots of energy so older kids in the home to play with or an active family who enjoys walks and adventures is also very important. Fancy needs a fenced in yard so she has a safe place to play outside, she is a champion at fetch and needs room to run 🎾 Miss Fancy is a very smart girl who loves everyone she meets. She is so happy she even smile when she sleeps ! 🤣 So if you are looking for a very special pup who will fill your home with love and laughter then fill out the adoption application! Fancy can’t wait to meet you and start her new life with her forever family 🏡

Story
Sweet, petite, adorable Emmi is a cuddle bug with people and other dogs – she’s a moderate-energy gal who would love to have a canine sibling to frolic with during the day and snuggle with at night. She can be timid when she meets new people, but her tail never stops wagging in hopes of receiving a friendly greeting. Emmi would love a home with a fenced-in yard where she can run and play with a canine sibling. She enjoys going for car rides and walks well on a leash, so she would be a pleasant companion for new adventures! Emmi will gently let you know when she has to potty and goes in the yard with no problem. She also does well with other dogs and children. When it’s bedtime, Emmi likes to sleep on the couch or in a dog bed curled up with another dog – but she has been known to sneak into bed to cuddle up with a human a time or two! If Emmi sounds like the perfect fit for your family, contact your Midwest BREW adoption counselor or fill in your adoption application today! NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
Age: 5 weeks as of 11/29 Size: 2 lbs Estimated breed: Chihuahua/Terrier mix   Gamora found herself at an overcrowded rural shelter when she was only 5 weeks old. It's obvious she doesn't belong there, so we got her into rescue so she could begin looking for a forever home!    As of 11/29, Gamora is around 5 weeks old and weighs 2 lbs. She will be ready to join her forever family when she is 8 weeks old, but we are accepting applications now! At our best guess, she is some kind of chihuahua/terrier mix, but without knowing who her parents are we can't know for sure! She is a sweet and playful puppy who loves playing with her siblings and cuddling with her people. Like all puppies, she's looking for a family who has plenty of time and patience to train her into the best girl she can be.    To adopt Gamora, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their house and crate training.December 4, 2023, 10:32 am
