Story
Hi, I’m Lena, aka Zena Warrior Princess! I’m a 2-year-old, 6.5-pound Maltipoo girl with a big personality and an adorable little face. I make the Energizer Bunny look like a slug! I’m always on the go and ready for fun! I LOVE other dogs and I LOVE to PLAY! I need a playful canine companion in my forever home. I’m a little bundle of energy, and I will play until I’ve worn myself out! A fenced-in yard is preferred so I have plenty of room to burn off my puppy energy. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, my personality really blossoms. My foster mom says now I’m her little shadow. I love tummy rubs, mealtime (I’m a VERY good eater!), and treats, which I take ever so gently. And have I mentioned my adorable little snaggle tooth? It’s just one more thing that makes me irresistible! I’m still learning important puppy manners including housebreaking, leash walking, and appropriate puppy play. Sometimes I get so excited that I get a little mouthy, but my foster mom is helping me learn that kisses are much better than puppy nibbles! I sleep well in my crate overnight and when my foster mom goes out. I’m looking for an active family with another playful dog, plenty of love, and the patience to help me continue learning good doggie skills. If you have room in your heart and home for a pint-sized bundle of fun, I just might be your girl! Apply to adopt me: https://tinyurl.com/FCCRadoptionapp Adoption fee: $425

Story
Meet Diego & Margie — A Bond That Shouldn’t Be Broken Diego and Margie are a special pair of senior pups who have been through a lot together, and now they’re looking for a home where they can spend their golden years side by side. Diego is 10 years old, and Margie is approximately 15. Margie also has some vision impairment, so having Diego by her side is especially important. These two are bonded and need to be adopted together. We may not know much about their past, but we do know one thing for certain: they have each other, and that relationship matters. They came to Satchel’s Last Resort from Animal Services, and unfortunately, we don’t have much of a backstory on them. Sometimes the dogs who need us most come with more questions than answers. What we can give Diego and Margie now is the chance to finally have a safe, loving home where they can relax, be spoiled, and enjoy their retirement together. They aren’t looking for a family to take them on a grand adventure—they’re looking for someone who understands the beauty of senior dogs and the special bond between two dogs who have been there for each other. Diego and Margie are a package deal. They’ve made it this far together, and we’re determined to help them find a home where they can stay together for the rest of their lives.
