Story
Meet Mo, a charming lad who goes by the nickname "MO". This sweet boy weighs around 100 lbs. and is currently on a strict diet to help manage his weight. Although it's just a guess, it seems that Mo may have been hit by a car in the past, resulting in a fractured leg and a noticeable limp. Despite the pain he experiences, Mo remains a gentle and loving dog who enjoys short walks, marrow bones, and playing with his stuffies. His foster parent describes him as the best dog they have ever fostered, noting how adorable his smile is when he receives treats.  Mo's health concerns include a low Thyroid condition, which has been affecting his overall well-being. To address this, he is currently taking Levothyroxine (.5mg) twice daily, Rimadyl (100 mg) twice daily, and Gabapentin (300 mg X2) twice daily. The monthly cost of these medications amounts to roughly $170. Despite efforts to remove the Gabapentin in consultation with the Vet, it was found that Mo experiences pain and stops using his leg without it. Additionally, Mo has recently started on heartworm preventive medication to ensure his continued health and well-being.  In terms of training, Mo knows basic commands such as sit and is gentle when it comes to food. He is good with kids, although his interactions with cats can lead to playful barking if they run. Mo is currently working on improving his leash walking skills and recall, as he tends to wander off and enjoys running alongside goats or horses in the pasture. Despite his challenges, Mo's foster parent is dedicated to providing him with the care and attention he needs to thrive and lead a happy life. ##1819426##

Story
We are reaching out to you because there is a special girl in our shelter who could really use your help. Peach, as we affectionately call her, is currently at a disadvantage and we want to change that. She may come across as tough or scared when meeting new people, but deep down, she is just shy and in need of some support and understanding. Peach has made incredible progress since she first arrived at the shelter. Initially timid and unsure, she has blossomed into the sweetest and most loving girl you could imagine. Her confidence has grown, and she now adores the company of other dogs. In playgroups, she showers her furry friends with gentle hugs and kisses, showcasing her affectionate nature. Peach truly lives up to her name, as she has a quiet and gentle soul that would fit perfectly into a home with other dogs to keep her company. Miss Peach has captured the hearts of our staff with her adorable personality. Although she may be a bit shy at first, she is incredibly friendly towards other dogs. She has also shown great progress on a leash, improving day by day. However, it's important to note that Peach will require a tall fence, as she has attempted to jump our 7ft fence during playgroup sessions. Despite her playful antics, she is a true sweetheart who adores giving soft hugs and kisses. Peach's gentle and reserved nature in her kennel shows that she is ready to find a loving home where she can continue to grow and thrive.   https://youtube.com/shorts/jaEAcmA6t1M?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/fwKAk2d1gYE?feature=share Taking treats with dog - https://youtube.com/shorts/yPIVIJvsLiM?feature=share Playing with another dog - https://youtube.com/shorts/qnR2HkUBxkQ?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/NBWz3fG1nO8?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/iDvGelyRZYo?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/wbiOlWzRj6w?feature=share Peach giving hugs! - https://youtube.com/shorts/wbiOlWzRj6w?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/QEeQkRPht-A?feature=share Christmas Peach! - https://youtube.com/shorts/ujMCNiOmE6o?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/SQMf3fy97KY?feature=share ##1910792##

Story
Josie is the sweetest most lovable smartest goofy dog ever have the privilege to let love you. She came to me untrained 1 year 8 months ago. Previous owner gave her up because she played too rough with her standards poodle. While she knows lots of tricks and loves people . Never used force, only positive reinforcement training. trusting that a great human will love and continue training this wonderful companion. She came to me with two different colored eyes. It turned out she had a trauma before I got her and had to have her bad eye removed. Though it never stopped her and shes still a beautiful creature. Everyone comments on how gorgeous she is. You'll never regret loving Josie. She even loves her crate which I will sell to adopter.
