Story
Lady is a sweet, loving, gentle soul! She can be a bit timid at first, but wants nothing more than love and affection! She loves pets and gives kisses and will roll over for belly rubs. Since she has been in her foster home, she has learned that she was born to be a couch potato! She was found as a stray with another dog as they wandered onto a kind lady's property looking for shelter. It didn't take long to earn their trust and now both dogs are living in a foster home and learning that having a home inside is the best thing ever!

Story
Location: GA (transport to an approved home in certain areas)MEET GADGET — THE “Y’ALL GO ON, I’M GOOD RIGHT HERE” BOXER BOYBoxer Mix • 14 weeks old • 9 poundsNow listen.We already introduced y’all to Glade — the long-legged, hard-headed Boxer boy who wakes up every morning and apparently chooses violence, chaos and poor decisions.Gadget?Gadget ain’t got time for all that foolishness. He’s 14 weeks old, 9 pounds, good with other dogs, playful, sweet and perfectly capable of entertaining his own dang self.Sure, he’s a Boxer mix.But apparently nobody told Gadget that means he’s supposed to be bouncing off the walls, arguing with the humans and acting like somebody gave a toddler three Mountain Dews and a trampoline.Gadget is more of a:“Y’all go ahead. I’ll be over here minding my business.” kind of fella.He likes to play. He likes other dogs. He enjoys some puppy shenanigans.But when everybody else starts acting like they’ve lost their ever-loving minds?Gadget is perfectly content to grab himself a toy, find a comfortable spot and watch the circus from a safe distance.He’s got good sense.Well…As much good sense as you can reasonably expect from a 14-week-old puppy. While Glade is somewhere hearing the word “NO” and immediately requesting a second opinion, Gadget is more likely to be sitting there wondering why everybody is making such a big fuss.He’s sweet.He’s easygoing.He’s playful.He’s independent.And he just likes to hang out.Gadget doesn't need to be all up in everybody’s business.He doesn't need a parade.He doesn't need to run the household.He sure as heck doesn't need to climb the curtains just because nobody has paid attention to him for 37 seconds.He’s just a good ol’ boy.Give him some toys, another dog to pal around with, a comfy place to flop and some people who love him, and Gadget is pretty darn happy with life.Now don't misunderstand us. He IS still a puppy.He will absolutely do some dumb stuff.That comes standard.We’re just saying his particular brand of dumb stuff seems to come with a little more Southern gentleman and a little less “hold my beer and watch this.” So if you like the Boxer look and personality but aren't sure you’re emotionally prepared for the FULL-SEND, HARD-HEADED, BOUNCING-OFF-THE-WALLS Boxer experience…Come meet Gadget.He’s basically Boxer Lite™ with a Southern drawl. Good with dogs: Yep Age: 14 weeks Weight: 9 pounds Personality: Sweet • Playful • Independent • Easygoing Favorite activity: Minding his own dang business Drama level: Ain’t nobody got time for that Boxer level: Just enough to keep things interestingGadget — because sometimes you don't need the whole rodeo. You just need a good ol’ boy to sit beside you and watch everybody else act a fool.**We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors** ##2812136##

Story
Location: TN (transport to an approved home in certain areas)GueroPom mix 1.5 years old 10 pounds Good with dogs: yes Good with cats; not sure Good with kids: not sure Lets talk about our sweet Guero. He didn't have the best start in his life but he is learning. He has so much love to give but needs patience and understandingDo we know everything about him...not yet but we are learning at his pace.Things we do know---he takes time to warm up and trust you---He prefers someone home (works from home)---he likes to stare out windows and sometimes howl.---Once he trusts you..he LOVES, LOVES belly rubs.Here is what Guero needs:---A patient and understanding person(s)---A gentle hand---A fenced yard as he is nervous---A big comfy dog bed---Lots of treats---Lots of Belly rubsGuero is a sweet young boy who didn’t get much of a fair start in life. He spent way too much time stuck in a crate, with little human interaction, learning more about fear than love. People weren’t his safe place…they were just something to be scared of. He kept himself tucked away in his own tiny, lonely world.After a few months of working with him, he is now a playful loving guy that absolutely enjoys belly rubs. He will come up and nuzzle when he wants attention, which is quite often. He has learned trust, love, and affection. Guerro gets along great with other dogs, and cats, walks well on a leash, and is about 90% house broke. He will use a pee pads when he can't get outside. ##2695189##
