Story
BoBo is ready for adoption! BoBo, a 1 1/2 year old, 10 lb male malti-poo is ready for his forever home. BoBo is a sweet, mellow boy that loves snuggling on a lap and follows his foster mom around the house. He hangs out while foster dad works, goes outside for potty breaks, and is staring to enjoy walks (we think it's the first time he's ever been on a walk). He doesn't play with toys yet, he's not sure what they are, but that will come (he has a fun, silly side that is just starting to show). BoBo seems like he was pretty neglected before ending up in a local shelter matted and dirty. BoBo is doing great on his house training, sleeps in his foster parent's bed all night with out a peep, and will make a lucky family a great loving companion. If you want to mellow dog to snuggle with, BoBo might be your guy! His adoption fee is $450 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
My family adopted Fergie when in 2003 from a shelter. At that time, he was eight months old. Fergy and I are extremely close after 12 years together. This is a heartbreaking relocation, a family member needs medical care and so we need to go. We have exhausted, our family resources in trying to place him with someone he knows. In fact, a friend of the family just backed out of taking him. But he is a very sweet, cute, gentle, and trusting little guy. He wants to be with you even if he’s just sleeping nearby. He doesn’t run or play as much just because he’s old and his feet are tender, but he does take guided long walks and will want you to play with him with his toys, and give plenty of belly rubs! Fergy responds to gentleness and not harsh commands. He has cataracts in both eyes, but can see contrasts in light. He has a very sensitive stomach and has prescription nuggets. He also eats plain chicken, sometimes peas, and a little white rice.

Story
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Two tiny dog divas are officially accepting applications for their forever humans. Meet Coco & Baby — the “No Cats, Please & Thank You” Committee. (Seriously. They saw a cat once and are still filing emotional paperwork.) 🚫🐱 👑 Coco – 8-year-old brown Chihuahua • House-trained and runs her home like a tiny CEO • Shy with dogs but warms up once she’s done the background check • LOVES kids and will absolutely adopt your children as her own • Treats Baby like her furry offspring 🌟 Baby – 6-year-old white Maltese • A fluffy lovebug who believes personal space is a myth • House-trained and proud of it • Barks at strangers, then immediately becomes their best friend • Family-friendly, cat-unfriendly (she insists this is a personality trait) 🍽️ Dietary Notes: Grandma used to serve ground beef like a Michelin-star chef, so yes…. they are picky eaters and currently interviewing new kibble options. 😅. They both weigh about 13 lbs, but are looking forward to getting back in shape. 💞 The Bond: These two are basically a married couple. They do everything together. They demand 24/7 companionship. We’re gently teaching them independence, but it’s like explaining WiFi to a potato. 🏡 Seeking: A patient, loving, cat-free home where these pint-sized comedians can thrive. They promise endless love, loyalty, and entertainment. Could you be the human of their dreams? 💕 #AdoptCocoAndBaby #BondedPair #RescueDogs #SmallDogDrama #NoCatsAllowed Apply at www.DMDR.org/adopt
