Story
Toby is an adorable and sweet dog. We have had him for 9 years since he was 8 weeks old. My father is blind and is living with me. Toby is playful and often gets in my dad’s way causing him to trip. Unfortunately a few months ago, Toby was diagnosed with diabetes and a heart murmur. Just a few days ago, I noticed a change in his vision. With my work schedule, dad’s health condition, and financial situation (single parent) I am unable to continue to care for Toby. It breaks my heart but I am looking for a caring and loving home for my Toby.I am able to bring Toby anywhere in the US.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 🐻🍯 Meet Pooh! 🍯🐻 At 8 years old and a sweet 9 pounds, Pooh is the perfect mix of cuddly, playful, and always ready for a good nap. 💕 He loves long walks, playing with his toys around the house, and curling up in bed for some serious cuddle time. 🥰 Pooh is still working on his potty training, but he’s improving every day and showing us what a good boy he is! He’s an easygoing little guy who enjoys the simple things in life, especially being close to his people. When it comes to other dogs, Pooh can be a little uneasy, so he would do best with slow, thoughtful introductions and a home that understands his boundaries. He does well around cats and enjoys meeting his human friends. On walks, he pays no attention to lizards or squirrels and is happy to keep strolling along. This sweet senior boy has so much love left to give. If you’re looking for a little companion who will happily spend his days walking, playing, napping, and cuddling by your side, Pooh may be your perfect match. 🏡💛 Adoption FEE: $300, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
Rudy is a five-year-old Maltese who is a hardy and lovable boy. We have had him since he was a puppy, but I am currently in a situation where I am overwhelmed with other responsibilities and feel he deserves a better home than I am able to provide right now.Rudy is:• Friendly and gets along very well with his younger brother, Bogie• Quiet and loving in calm environments• House trained (though he has recently started "marking" and wears a diaper occasionally)• Managing arthritis with daily Gabapentin and Galliprant• Best suited for a home without small children due to his fragile bonesRudy uses steps to get onto furniture and is most comfortable in a quiet, stable environment. While he is very loyal, he can become aggressive in chaotic settings or when approached by strangers, which our vet describes as his way of being protective.

Story
So pookie is very loving she loves to kiss and she jumps a lot on you. She has been around children and she’s great with them but like I said she jumps a lot. I have a cat and she likes to smell her butt and wants to play but my cat is not interested in playing. She pounces on my cat. She will be turning 6yrs old the day after Christmas. I have her records since I got her at 3 months old. She is actually from PETSMART. I paid $6000 for her. She is basically a vegetarian. I used to feed her chicken but it really made her eyes brownish red and now I feed her vegetarian dry food. And fresh veggies. She needs a lot of love and attention and exercise. Her nails are very hard and she gives me bruises because of my skin age. I clean her eyes daily.
