Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs on to their new adopting families leaving in March 2025 from Southern California where we are located to the East Coast. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Jazzy to our trip for the right home 💕 As always, for peace of mind for our adopting families we never ask for ANYTHING up front. Adoption fee/travel costs are always due when we arrive in person with Jazzy in hand ❤️ Meet Jazzy! She is a 3 year old, black, miniature, schnauzer ❤️❤️❤️ She weighs 14 lbs. Yes, she is full grown and at a very healthy weight. She is spayed, current on all vaccinations microchipped, had a dental cleaning, blood work, and a full exam with our vet whom has cleared her to find a home all her own ❤️ She is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom throughout the day when asked if she needs to go. She is great about sitting by the back door if she needs to go out inbetween when we ask her. She is very patient, so we always make sure to keep a close eye on her to ensure we meet her needs. She is crate trained, and will happily sleep in a crate at night without any fuss at all. She also will sleep in the room, on a bed aside ours and be just as happy. We haven't had her in bed with us, but I'm sure she would equally love that if that's where you choose to allow her to sleep 😊 She is leash trained, and really enjoys her walks. She doesn't require daily walks, but won't turn them down either. She is simply just happy being at her persons feet, while they work on the computer or in their lap while they are watching television. She isn't hard to please at all, and truly is content knowing she gets to hang with her human however that entails! She is great with other dogs, and cats alike. She doesn't like high energy dogs, especially ones that don't respect her space when she doesn't want to engage with them. She isn't much of a playmate for other dogs, but would make a great friend to one that is looking for another sweet companion to enjoy their day with. She isn't high energy at all, and while she tends to be a nosy body always wanting to know what's going on around her she doesn't interfere with anything that doesn't concern her. She is not a barker, but will alert you occasionally of unfamiliar sounds. She is content knowing her human will keep her safe while she naps away 🙃 If she is awake, she will go with you to inspect whatever it is that you heard to make sure she always has your back if needed 😅 (I tell her she is very brave for this ☺️.) She does really well on road trips, and especially loves riding in her booster car seat. She would make an amazing travel partner, no matter where the road, or air takes you as she would be happy just being a part of the journey ❤️ She is wonderful at our groomers, and has built a beautiful relationship with her. Her spa days bring her a lot of joy, knowing she will spend them being relaxed and feeling beautiful at the end of it! She is very well behaved in the home. She is very mature, and will always leave you confident that your home will remain the same way you left it if you ever have to leave her while you step out. She will always be patiently waiting for your return, if she can't tag along. Her wiggles will give you all the joy you'll ever need walking back in your doors, and may convince you that more of your outings need to be dog friendly so she could join you often ❤️ She is very quiet, and reserved meeting anyone she doesn't know for the first time as her first home wasn't the best home. She had to learn that not all people were out to cause her pain. Slowly we have seen her confidence rebuild, and the light in her spirit shine brighter and brighter. I promise you that once she is your girl, she will forever be your girl 💕 Her prior owners weren't very kind to her. They bred her a few times, and once they had another to replace her with they decided she had to go. Thankfully a kind woman took her in, and promised to find her somehwere safe where she never had to worry about someone else not loving her the way she deserved to be loved. By the grace of God our paths connected, and the rest is history ♥️ We are determined to find her more joy than her heart will ever know what to do with, so that she will only know LOVE moving forward ❤️❤️❤️ Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/jazzy It covers her spay, vaccines, microchip/registration, her dental cleaning plus extractions, blood work, and as always it goes back into the care she has received in the time she has been here with us, her grooming costs, and the training we have been personally doing with her. While her costs have been great, and her adoption fee on the higher end, I assure you that's it's been well spent to getting Jazzy back to full health so she can be ready to begin this next chapter of her life ❤️

Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs on to their new adopting families leaving in March 2025 from Southern California where we are located to the East Coast. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Missy to our trip for the right home 💕 As always, for peace of mind for our adopting families we never ask for ANYTHING up front. Adoption fee/travel costs are always due when we arrive in person with Missy in hand ❤️ Meet Missy. She is a 3.5 year old toy yorkie. She weighs 4.4 lbs. Yes, she is full grown and at a very healthy weight. She is set to be spayed on 2/11/25. She will also have a dental cleaning done, have her vaccines administered, be microchipped, and have anything else done that my vet recommends to be done at time of spay. She loves to go outside to use the restroom, but due to her very small size she is always accompanied so outside potty time is offered throughout the day. She is also pad trained so that she always has access to be able to use the restroom without having to wait for us. She is crate trained, and will sleep in a crate at night or while you step out of the home if needed. She is very well behaved in the home, and has learned to use a ramp to get on and off the beds so if you aren't using a crate; she will simply walk herself up to your bed and nap there til you return home. She is leash trained, and while walks tend to be short with her she does love them! She will let you know when it's time to be carried, and being so tiny we happily oblige every time so she can enjoy the rest of her walks snuggled in arms 💕 She is wonderful with all dogs and cats alike. She has a very submissive temperament so if you have another animal in the home it's best if they are docile, and respectful of her small stature. She isn't a dog to play with other animals, and is completely fine being the only princess in her home as she is very content being your sole focus 🥰 She is AMAZING with men, women, and children alike. She is NOT high energy whatsoever and is very calm natured, serene tempered, and very zen ❤️ She is NOT a barker at all, and the only time you'll hear her voice is when she sees you again after being gone for any amount of time and it's always out of excitement that you are back which ultimately requires snuggles to make up for any lost time 😊 She is an amazing traveler; and will travel the world with you whether by car, or plane. She is happy just being along for the ride however that may look! She is EASY to please and even EASIER to love. She is all things you look for in a tiny little friend; and will make an exceptional companion to someone looking to enjoy life with ♥️ She loves her spa days; and is always extra happy to see her favorite groomer 😁 but is even happier when we walk back through the door . She definitely soaks up all the extra attention and is happy to hear your voice tell her how pretty she is over and over again 🥰🥰 She has an incredible temperament, has a beautiful heart; and her excitement to be in the presence of her humans makes anyone smile. She is absolutely the most precious little one here, and we are excited to find her someone that will love her the way she deserves to be loved ❤️❤️❤️ Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption fee at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/missy Her adoption fee is on our higher end. Shortly after she first came to us she had to be hospitalized overnight hooked up to IVs due to being extremely dehydrated and weak. Being so small it's so crucial she receives proper nutrition, and that's something she will never have to worry about again. We had blood work, and x rays done, which all came back great. She is completely on the mend, and is ready for next part of her journey home to begin ❤️ Her adoption fee will not only help cover the costs involved with the above, but it will also help cover her spay, vaccines, dental cleaning (and possible extractions,) microchip/registration, and anything else my vet recommends to have done! She will be completely vetted and cleared by our vet prior to adoption. And as always, our adoption fees typically go back into the care involved in the time she has been with us, her grooming costs, and training we personally do but with her vetting soaking up all of what we are asking consider the rest on us 💕 She is a gem, and one you want to have in your life; so if you are able to open your heart and home to this beautiful little Angel please help us make her happily ever after come true for her ❤️

I adopted Freya from a shelter. She was time stamped to be euthanized. She is very smart…trainable. She knows sit, paw, stay and come. Freya needs someone who is willing and able to work with her behavioral challenges ; she reacts to people (mostly men). She is a love bug who was found on the streets of Philadelphia…with time and love she will blossom even further. I adore her.

All she wanted for Christmas is a new home. 😢 Meet Jolene “JoJo” a lovable 4-year-old pup with a heart as big as her 58-pound frame. Mountain Cur mix. Look at that blue eye!!! This sweet and joyful girl is searching for her forever home, where she can bring endless love and comfort to her new family. JoJo’s protective nature makes her a loyal companion who will always have your back. She is incredibly devoted to her humans and thrives in a household where she can bond deeply with her people.

She loves a good zoomie around the yard, a short walk or long hike but she is just as happy lounging on the couch beside you, soaking up affection. She is housebroken, has all her shots and in excellent health, she’ll be waiting for you with her wagglebutt!

Story
Four year old Fiona is simply darling. She is a perfect girl in the house. Fully housetrained, doesn't touch things she shouldn't, quiet but will alert you if she hears someone outside, loves to be with her humans, very gentle, affectionate...we could go on and on. Her ideal home would have a calm and quiet environment. Children in the home should be older since she prefers quiet. She would prefer to be the only apple of your eye and be the sole dog in the home, she loves her humans so much. Fiona is just a low maintenance pupper. The white around her eyes is a harmless pigmentation condition that gives her character! Fiona prefers not to be crated, but she's so well mannered, it hasn't mattered. We have however crate trained her. Fiona's special needs are orthopedic. While she gets around fine, and ignores her arthritis, she does need medication to keep her comfortable. Fiona has no problem jumping in the car, going up and down stairs, and navigating her environment both inside and outside. We have had her seen by an orthopedic surgeon who shared that any discomfort she has is from arthritis and old untreated injuries. He did not feel surgery is needed at this time. She is however scheduled for an injection into her knee in January which should give her significant relief. There is no adoption fee for Fiona to the right match, and the rescue will cover any injections or knee surgery she could possibly need in the future. Her adopter would be responsible for her maintenance vet needs, such as monthly preventatives, and well-care vet visits.

Story
Chop was found by herself in a city park. A Good Samaritan saw her and brought her into the shelter. While she had no history on her, when asked what Chop was like with her, she quickly responded "friendly and cuddly". While at the shelter, Chop was quite sweet. When approached in her kennel, Chop was laying on her bed and came to the door with soft eyes and low wags. She sniffed the leash and came to the front with nub wags. She was patient for leashing and allowed the handler to slip it over her head without issues. When taken out into the yard, Chop was a friendly and social girl! Upon entering the yard she immediately began to solicit attention from both handlers with soft eyes, ears back, and tail low wagging. She allowed all handling and would give fast low nub wags when petting her. She took treats very gently as well when offered. As time went on she got more wiggly and bouncy, getting playful but still a little nervous of big movements. Another staff member entered the yard and Chop trotted up to them and leaned in right away, giving fast nub wags. We did a quick dog meet for her as well and she did amazing! Chop greeted nicely, with a loose body and fast low wags, and tried to engage in play with the other dog! She got so happy and goofy! Overall, Chop was a little nervous at first, but is super sweet and friendly. She showed Interest in toys but took no possession. Our vet has estimated her age as between 1 and 2. If you'd like to be considered for Chop, just go to our site at www.kodisclub.org/applications and submit our application. PA License #18512 Souderton, PA
