Story
Toots is now on the prowl for her next adventure. She came to us with a completely rotten mouth. It was so bad you could smell her before you saw her. On her intake visit the vet did an emergency dental because the infection was so bad, and Toots lost all her teeth. It took almost 3 weeks for the infection to go away. She also had a large lipoma on her chest that we had to wait to remove because of the bacteria in her mouth. She has recovered from her emergency dental and having the lipoma removed. She has gained some weight and looks wonderful. Now that she's feeling better this girl is so happy. She loves to lay in the sun or up on the couch watching TV. She will do her best to snuggle right behind you, between you and the couch cushion. She does get excited when her people come home but she does settle easily. This girl LOVES to eat. She will need a sign that says- "The dog has been fed. Don't fall for her lies." She knows exactly how to use those puppy dog eyes to get an extra treat or a smidge more kibble. Although she did have all of her teeth removed because of the horrible infection she had, she does eat kibble but small bites. If you are looking to add happy snuggler to the family, check this girl out! Learn more about me and fill out an online adoption application on the From the Heart Rescue website at: www.fthar.org. My requested adoption donation includes my spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations and medical care to date, microchip implantation and registration, collar, leash, and ID tag. If Im not exactly what you want, please visit my other friends in rescue at From The Heart Rescue on our website at www.fthar.org.

Story
Look at this cutie! His name is Marley, and he is looking for a place to spend his golden years. Marley was found wandering the streets all alone without a way to get back home. (Please microchip your pets). We figure Marley is around 13 years old, but he still has plenty of love left to share. Marley loves a comfy bed and to go on walks. Mostly, he's looking for that perfect lap to get snuggles. He does have some vision problems with a cataract in one eye but is visual in the other eye. And a touch of arthritis. Marley uses eye drops and takes medicine for the arthritis to help keep him comfortable. If you think you would be able to provide Marley with a good snuggle spot for his golden years, visit our website and fill out an adoption application.

Story
Say hello to Snoopy! Snoopy was picked up as a stray in the middle of a medical emergency. He was having cluster seizures. We quickly got him to the vet, and they were able to stabilize him. We have Snoopy on anti-seizure medication, and we have not seen him have another. Snoopy is a young pup, around 18 months old. He has worked very hard on potty and crate training. Being young, he is very mouthy but learning. He is also obsessed with your feet. He wants to lick them, bite them, wrestle on them. Obsessed!! Snoopy will need a home with another dog to play with. Wrestling is his favorite thing. Anyone thinking of adding Snoopy to their family, please keep in mind that he will need to be on seizure medication for life and may require more vet visits than a "healthy" pup.

Story
This is what my foster family says about me&#44 please email EPASAdoptions@elpasotexas.gov with my A number to meet me!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Bodhi is:andlt;br/andgt;-potty trainedandlt;br/andgt;-crate trained (I will donate mine if needed)andlt;br/andgt;-great in the carandlt;br/andgt;-easy to batheandlt;br/andgt;-good on leash (very minimal pulling)andlt;br/andgt;-great jogging buddy&#44 he likes to keep a steady pace right by your sideandlt;br/andgt;-nonreactive to other dogsandlt;br/andgt;- knows sit&#44 down&#44 and stayandlt;br/andgt;- extremely happy being a couch potatoandlt;br/andgt;-very loving&#44 simply wants human companionshipandlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Now where Bodhi struggles is with meeting new people. I can see the struggle when I introduce him to someone new; he so badly wants to go to them because he loves human affection&#44 but is afraid. So he would need a family with patience who will give him the time he needs to trust that you wonandamp;#39;t harm him. Once he trusts you&#44 he will give you polite kisses&#44 lay next to you on the sofa&#44 show you his zoomies&#44 and simply enjoy being in your presence. He can live with other dogs as long as they are calm and donandamp;#39;t want to play since Bodhi isnandamp;#39;t the type to play. I donandamp;#39;t recommend a home with a hyper playful dog or a home with young kids. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Being around a calm confident dog that he can coexist with would be good for him so he can follow their lead. Heandamp;#39;s been good around my dog&#44 but my dog gives him his space and is also calm. Even though Dopey/Bodhi doesnandamp;#39;t want to play with my dog&#44 he does get happy to see him since I keep them separated when I go to work. He will approach my dog and give him kisses. He would also be fine being the only dog in a home.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;He is 4 years old&#44 neutered&#44 microchipped&#44 weighs about 68 pounds and is up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is waived.andlt;br/andgt;If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this sweet&#44 loving boy please email EPASAdoptions@elpasotexas.gov. He is so deserving of finding his forever home.
