Story
Olive came into a shelter down south pregnant and heartworm positive. She was fostered until her babies were born and weaned. Her babies were then transported to a rescue. For whatever reason, Olive didn't get to go with her babies and was taken back to the shelter where she wound up on the EU list. Chewy’s Hope fostered her, and she is a senior girl ready for a quiet retirement. She would do best as an only and with older kids. But whoever adopts her will have a great companion and lovely girl.

Story
Pippa is an Australian shepherd/lab mix. She is approximately eight years old, but she has the energy of 5 or 6. She is a people dog; she is happy to be outdoors with you and loves a ride in the car, but she would rather be inside with you than outside without you. Pippa is great with cats and would be ideal for her to be a companion dog to a person or people who are retired or work from home. She is just as sweet and loving as she looks! She is in great health and has a lot of love to give to the right home.

Story
In foster with Lisa Reed-Bruce This is Abbey~ She’s about 8 months old, had all her puppy shots, spayed & microchipped. She is a lover of treats, toys, balls & little kids! She likes adults too, but she can be a little shy at first. When she first meets a new dog, she can be a little hesitant but once she knows they aren’t going to hurt her, she loves them & wants to play all the time. She is crate trained, potty trained & working on leash training. Abbey is a sweet girl that deserves a loving forever home.

Story
Meet our beloved senior canine companion, Uno, a resilient soul with a heart full of spunk and charm. Despite the challenges that come with his 10 to 12 years of life, he continues to exude a youthful spirit that warms our hearts. His clouded vision due to cataracts may hinder his sight, but it can't dampen his zest for life. Found in a state of neglect, he once had to dig through trash for sustenance, but his indomitable spirit remained unbroken. This sweet old gentleman carries the wisdom of age, and his missing teeth are a testament to his life's journey. Despite his hardships, his affectionate nature shines through, making him a source of endless joy and inspiration. With a heart that overflows with gratitude, he yearns for the love and care he so rightly deserves in his golden years. As we welcome him into our family, we are committed to providing him with all the love, comfort, and attention he needs. Our mission is to ensure that his twilight years are filled with warmth, belly rubs, and the happiness he's been longing for. With every wag of his tail and every gentle nuzzle, he reminds us that even in the face of adversity, love and resilience prevail. We are looking for a Adoptive or Fospice (Foster Hospice) placement for Uno. Are Uno's Hero?
