Story
King (Deb-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet King! King is a 10 year old senior boy. He weighs 16 pounds. From King's foster mom: When King came into rescue, he already had that name and he wore it well! He was two years old and thought he was boss of the world. He was surrendered because his owner had dementia and his daughter had to take care of him and her mom and it was too much! After not being able to place him for so long, he just stayed! Now his foster mom is 72 and has health issues and to find places for the guys left after 25 years of rescue to move where her daughter lives. King is now 10 years old and has mellowed with age. He would be great in a home with an older man or woman or couple who just likes to chill and maybe take a walk. He likes to put his paws up on you and get a hug! I would say no to small children, not because I know either way, but because I want the rest of his days to be easy! King is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped and ready to find his family!!!! King is in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $200 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England. You can fill out an adoption application at https://angelsamongusanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
Franklin (MJ-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet Franklin! Franklin was born around May 30th and he currently weighs 4 pounds!! He is a black and tan chihuahua puppy. Franklin and his brother Charlie Brown were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter which is not a safe place for two chihuahua babies to be! We were asked to help and they landed in a wonderful foster home!! Franklin is a very alert and active puppy but oh, so sweet! He loves racing around the fenced yard at his foster home. He wishes the resident dogs would play with him! He would love to have another young playful pup in his new home to play with. If not, he will be content to sit on your lap and be loved on. He is working on housetraining but does well with puppy pads and will potty outside when taken. As in true chihuahua fashion, he does like to alert you with his barking. We are working on that!! We have begun crate training and this smart boy is doing very well. He is just darling and will be a great addition to your family. Franklin is up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and due to be neutered. He will be ready to go to his forever home at the end of September!!! Franklin is in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $650 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England.
