Story
Morticia Elegant, curious, and just a little bit dramatic—Morticia is the mysterious little heart-stealer of the litter. She’s a touch shyer than her brother Gomez, preferring to take in the world before diving into the action, but once she feels comfortable, her playful and affectionate side shines through. Morticia is learning that people are wonderful, belly rubs are irresistible, and treats appear as if by magic when she sits pretty. She enjoys the company of other pups, cozy blankets, and quiet moments curled up nearby. Whether she’s striking a perfect pose or sneaking in for cuddles, this little hound mix will enchant her way right into your heart. She may not live in a haunted mansion, but she’ll happily haunt your home—and your lap—forever. Apply for this little goth girl in training today! pipsrescue.org/adopt ##2568277##

Story
Hi! I am a sweet little guy that came to OCAS from another shelter. I`m very friendly and I did great with my intake exam & vaccines. I do have dental issues and OCAS recommends that you follow up with a full-service veterinarian for advice about that and other genera/routine care, especially since I am a senior. I deserve all the best and I`ll make you smile every day if you adopt me!Foster notes on Tanner:`Tanner is a very sweet and energetic boy! He is fifteen years old but does not act like it at all! He does not like to walk up a lot of stairs (or can’t) and needs help getting up in a bed or couch. Other than that he likes to run and walk and try to chase after geese. He is not a fan of cats and would probably be best in a house that doesn’t have any. He loves to cuddle and snore in your face. He requires that he gets under the covers to be little spoon. He loves a pup cup and to ride in front seat with the windows rolled down. He is very quiet and would make a great companion to anyone!`
