Story
Knox came in to the shelter in very bad condition on the outside, but on the inside, this love-bug has a heart of gold. Even in the horrible condition of his fur, he had kisses for the staff and wanted to be held. He came in with another female who was also in bad condition. We immediately took him to the groomer and had all the hair stripped off. You can see in the "before" picture how bad he was. He and the female (Indie) seem very bonded and may be related, so we will try to adopt them together if possible. He had been seen wandering through parking lots in Stockton for a week before arriving, so we do not know where he was living before here. New owner should be prepared to work on house manners in case he hasn't had any prior training. The vet estimates he is between 1 and 3, so we settled on 2. Dog will need regular grooming in the future. $350.00 adoption will help us with the grooming, vaccinations, microchipping and neuter. Let's get this good boy a much better home. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Meet Cloonie, a cuddly and playful Pug and Maltipoo mix pup born on April 16, 2025. Weighing in at 22 lbs, this cutie is a great size for playtime and lovings. Cloonie found his way to us because his youthful puppy energy was simply too playful for his previous owner's senior dog, so he is now searching for a home that matches his zest for life. He is a friendly, social boy who is wonderful with children as young as three years old, making him an excellent addition to a family. Potential adopters should be prepared to offer Cloonie some extra patience and consistency, as he still needs work on his house training. He is currently vaccinated and microchipped, and his adoption fee is $350. Cloonie is scheduled to be neutered on February 18th and will be ready to head to his forever home the very next day on February 19th. Apply for Cloonie at www.petsnpals.org!

Story
Meet Luna! She is a 3-year-old purebred princess. She came into our lives through an online adoption and has been loved and taken care of. Luna is a true lap dog who thrives on affection and calm companionship. She loves car rides, belly scratches, cozy naps, and will get the cutest zoomies when she’s happy. She bonds closely with her person and does best in a peaceful, predictable environment where she can feel secure and spoiled. Luna would be happiest in an adult-only home. She is not playful with children and needs a home with no kids and no plans for kids, so she can relax and have all of the attention she deserves. Because of this, we are looking for a home that is a better match for her needs. This decision comes from a place of love and responsibility. Our goal is simply to find Luna a safe, calm, and loving forever home where she can truly thrive.

Story
Beautiful Mindy is waiting to love you. We believe she is a Maltese mix. She came to us as a stray with her brother Mikey she currently weighs 13 lbs and is 1 ½ years old., . They were running around a neighborhood for several weeks where people in the neighborhood were all feeding them. They are a little chubby and need to lose a pound or two, Can you spoil them with love not food? Mindy loves healthy treats like carrots and apples. She is a calm and happy girl. She came to us matted and had to be shaved. She will require regular professional grooming to look her best. She keeps her kennel clean at night. She loves walks and behaves well on the leash. She loves car rides. Due to her smaller size, she is best suited for a family with older children. She is scheduled to be spayed but we are looking for her home now. She is up to date on shots and micro-chipped. Are you ready for a new love, Mi9ndy will bring you lots of joy and love.

Here is a list of things that should help us answer you in a more timely manner. 1. When you apply please always use the same email address. If we need to look something up later and you used a different email we are often not able to find it. 2. Adopt a Pet and Petfinders ask you to send us an enquiry. This always delays our response. (Why) a. Our biographies are always very detailed. Therefore sending an enquiry asking us to repeat what it says in the biography causes a lot more work and delays our response. b. We are a small non-profit and do not always have the help to answer as many enquiries as we get. c. Again our Biographies are very detailed and if you just click the link near the bottom of their bio you can fill out an application which we will respond to. 3. For the AFC website (scroll down to the bio at the bottom it says (apply to adopt today- click that link) www.animalfriendsconnect.org 4. For Petfinders ( scroll down to the biography then click the adoption link) http://animalfriendsconnect.org/adoption-application-dogs/ 5.
