Story
COURTESY POST - WE ARE COURTESY POSTING TO HELP FIND SPOC A FOREVER HOME Spoc was saved from a local shelter (See vide) where he was terrified of people. He has been in a foster home and has slowly come out of his shell, and is now seeking a loving forever home. I LOVE to go on walks. Will you take me? Twice a day, please, for at least 30 minutes each time. At around 7 years old and 20 pounds, I am potty trained, good with other dogs, use the doggie door, and am crate trained. My cutest feature? It’s when my lip gets shtuck on my gums, whish is almosht all the time thince my teeth are gone. I have bonded well to my Foster Mom and I let her touch me any time, but it took months for me to feel safe with her. I need someone who has a quiet home and is patient with me so I can come out of my shell and be your best friend and learn that there ARE good humans out there! I've heard that there is nothing better than having a dog like me and watching them bloom into a happy dog. I want to be that happy dog - will you help me? Please? I was found in pretty bad shape, terrified and very afraid of any humans. Will you be my hero? Fill out an application today!

Story
Chloe is a 10 year old JackChi, she is full of energy and loves to snuggle. She is house trained, she doesn’t have to be in a kennel, she is well behaved. She does well with children and other pets. She is well trained, sit, stay, don’t move, and will hold a treat on her nose until you tell her she can eat it. I have had her since she was 8 weeks. I wouldn’t let her go except we can only have two dogs. Since she is smaller and trained, I know she will be able to find a loving home. Her breed lives 18-20 years, so she’s got another 10 to go. She is a Jack Russel and will run if not on a lease. It’s her breed. So please don’t let her out into open spaces not gated. She absolutely loves everyone she meets so she is a social butterfly. She also loves car rides, she will try to jump out the window…so always be careful. She is awesome and I hope you think so too!

Story
This sweet girl needs to find her own person. She was found on the street in Mexico and we don't know how she got there but she was scared. She is like Velcro when she finds you. She is getting more and more confident everyday but she gets nervous in our foster home with too many bigger dogs. She is super smart and eager to please. She has a protective quality about her person. She likes other dogs and loves to play but she's being picked on right now.
