Story

Say hello to Mama Sasha, a lovable, playful 1.5 year old girl who's ready to be the heart of her new family! Sasha is as friendly as they come and is ready to befriend anyone she meets! She’s wonderful with kids—gentle, patient, and always up for playtime or a cuddle on the couch. She’s also a social butterfly with other dogs, big or small, and would fit right into a home with canine siblings. She is being fostered with both large and small dogs and she would love to have another playful dog in her new home! Sasha is an easygoing travel buddy—great in the car and eager to tag along on any adventure. Whether it’s a trip to a coffee shop, a hike, or an afternoon at the dog park, Sasha is curious, confident, and excited to explore the world by your side. Sasha is well behaved and knows house manners. She is potty trained, crate trained, knows "sit," and seems eager to learn more commands. She seems to look to her people and doggie friends for direction sometimes and takes correction and cues from people and other dogs very well! This happy girl is full of life and love. Whether you're out on an adventure or hanging out at home, Sasha will be right by your side, tail wagging and ready to love! To watch Sasha's video: https://youtu.be/1dAGg4ijHgw?si=8Nho9mrphR3duH2M To apply to adopt Sasha, please visit the following link: https://forms.gle/iWKCAs4EjVJQJbnYA Dreaming of Furever Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue that adopts cats and dogs from South Texas to the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and the East Coast. The adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, phone interview, and video chat with the pet and foster parent! The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, DHPP and booster, and Bordatella), microchip with free lifetime registration, deworming, transport, heartworm test, heartworm and flea prevention during the pet's time in our program as well as 2 free months of heartworm and flea prevention to be sent in their adoption packet! We are volunteers with a passion to reduce the stray population and unnecessary euthanasia in South Texas. According to Shelter Animals Count, an almost 100,000 cats and dogs were euthanized in Texas shelters in 2024. By transporting our adoptable pets to areas with fewer unwanted pets, they have a better chance of quickly finding loving homes, while also freeing up space in Texas shelters and giving more local animals a chance at life. If you are interested in more information about this pet or our organization, please email us at DreamingOfFurever@gmail.com.

Bella👸

Australian Shepherd

Female, 10 yrs 10 mos

Bellingham, WA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bella is a sweet 9-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. She came to Happy Tails Happy Homes under heartbreaking circumstances—her beloved owner had to enter hospice care suddenly, and no one in his family was able to take her in. It broke his heart to say goodbye. Our mission now is to honor his love for her by finding Bella the perfect forever home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by care and compassion. Bella has diabetes, but don’t let that scare you—she is a champ at receiving her insulin and follows her routine like a pro. She requires insulin twice a day along with a specialized diet, and her total monthly care costs are approximately $75–$100. To help her transition into a new home, *Happy Tails Happy Homes* will cover the cost of her insulin and food for the first **six months**. Bella adores people and just wants to be by your side, cuddling up and sharing all the love she has to give. She enjoys car rides, walks nicely on a leash, and loves to be included in whatever you’re doing. She has shown to do well with cats and currently lives with four other dogs in her foster home. Bella gets along with all her foster siblings, but she prefers a calm and respectful environment. She does not enjoy rowdy play or dogs who get in her face—if pushed, she will growl, bark, or air snap to ask for space. She’s not aggressive, just setting boundaries. Bella responds well to verbal redirection and listens when told “no.” If you're ready to open your heart to a loyal senior companion and give Bella the peaceful retirement she deserves, please fill out an application at [happytailshappyhomes.org](http://happytailshappyhomes.org) under the "Adopt" tab.

Story

Hello everyone! My name is Rose, and I am an adorable pitty mix with a lot of love to give. I am an athletic dog with lots of energy. I love to run and play, but I also love to cuddle up with my favorite humans. I am an affectionate girl who just wants someone to love me for who I am. Unfortunately I am dog selective so I would do best in a home where I am the only dog. But that just means all the love and attention will be for you! I am an adult dog, but I still have lots of playful puppy energy. I am crate trained and house trained. I can't wait to find my forever home and have a fresh start. If you think that could be with you, please come and meet me today! If you are interested in giving the loving home that Rose deserves please fill out an application at Happytailshappyhomes.org under the adopt tab.
