Story
To apply or see more of Jewel, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2023/5/14/jewel-bylpa I'm Jewel, a girl with an unknown past who landed at a local shelter as a stray. Call me mysterious ;) I’m having a hard time remembering what was before this, but I'm all about embracing the present and looking forward to a better life! I'm an energetic terrier mix, a sprightly 1 ½ years old, and I tip the scales at a petite 15 lbs! Impressive, I know! Currently, I'm holding down the fort (aka my foster home) alongside a 28lb female dog sibling. I can get along with a friendly small dog in my new family, but you know what? I could also thrive as the shining star, the only pet stealing all the love and attention. Now, about cats – no thanks, that's a hard NO from me. That would be a disaster! When I first left the shelter, I quickly bonded with my foster mom, but here's the surprise … I soon found that my foster dad gives the best belly rubs! I realized he wasn’t so scary after all! I'm a bit of an alert barker when someone new enters the house, but give me some time, a few meet-and-greets, and I'll warm up to them. I'm at my happiest when I'm with my people, and oh boy, am I a snuggly lap dog once I’m comfy. That’s why I’m seeking cool parents who will allow me on the couch! To keep myself entertained, I love playing with toys and chews, and I'm pretty treat-motivated. Food puzzles, snuffle mats – bring 'em on! They help engage my senses during the day since I’m fancy like that! What can I say, I like to keep busy! I’m honing my leash walking skills, am housetrained, and can use a dog door! Yep, that's me, a little smarty! Given my small size, I'd do best with a family with older children. Due to my shyness, I might not make the best impression during a meet & greet, but I really hope that won't deter people from giving me a chance! I'm in search of special adopters who will be understanding and patient, allowing me the time and space to gradually come out of my shell at my own pace. I’m a total love bug when you’ve earned my trust, I promise! Jewel’s Adoption Donation is SPONSORED! Includes - spayed rabies dhpp bordatella and chipped. Jewel is being fostered in SACRAMENTO, CA. Interested in adopting? 1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application 2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call! 3.

To apply or see more of Potato, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2023/12/8/potato Woof, greetings from Potato, your 25 lbs bundle of spunk! Let me tell you all about the fantastic life I'm ready to share with you. First things first, I'm not your average spud – I'm all about action and excitement! Hiking? Yep! Swimming? Absolutely! Playing fetch with a ball or stick? Oh, you betcha! And when the day winds down, I'm all in for some quality cuddle time under the covers. I'm definitely a thrill seeker, but also a snuggle bug. Now, here's the scoop on my intelligence – I'm a smart cookie, easily trainable, and super treat motivated. I'm eager to please, and I'll let you know what I want and when I want it. That's just me being a good communicator, you know? The humans say I’m gonna need a little structure and stable, reward-based training to keep my talkative side in check. I'm a social pup – good with both dogs and people. Now, when it comes to young kids, I'm a tad unsure, but I could likely grow to love them. Just recommend keeping the kitties out of the picture – not my cup of tea. Car rides? Oh, I'm a pro! A good errand runner and always up for a road trip adventure. And here's the magic – no separation anxiety. Leave me alone, and I'll be just fine. Housetrained? You got it! I'm a well-mannered pup ready to get you out of bed and motivate you each and every day! I thrive when I'm out in nature. Daily adventures are my thing, and I would absolutely love a lifestyle that involves getting out into the great outdoors regularly. If you're up for a mix of excitement, companionship, and a whole lot of love, I'm your Potato! Potato is being fostered in FELTON, CA Estimated DOB: 11/1/2021 $150 Adoption Donation - Neutered, up to date on vaccinations and monthly preventatives Interested in adopting? 1.

Story
Tess is a 10 year old, 12 lb energetic Jack Russell Terrier. She has always been the only pet in the house. The owner is 91 year old war veteran that has recently moved into a small Assisted Care facility without a yard and he can no longer take her on walks, all of which is taking a toll on her. She's a little shy/skittish at first with new people but she warms up quickly, especially if there are treats or cheese involved. She loves being on the patio watching people, playing with squeaky toys and sitting in every chair in the house.
