Story
Hello, friends, it's Daisy! I'm a 3-year-old, 11-pound Maltese girl, and I have the cutest smiley face, if I do say so myself. I ended up at a local shelter and so happy the ladies at FCCR picked me up. I’m ready for a new chapter filed with love, fun and lots of spoiling. My favorite spot is my front window, where I watch the world go by and give a quick bark to let you know someone's coming. My foster neighbors even stop to watch me…I’m just that cute! When I want pets, food, or a walk, I stand up on my hind legs and wave my front paws at you. If I'm really feeling it, I'll plop down right in front of you and beg for belly rubs (see my video). I'm a sweet, curious girl who loves to follow you around and lie next to you. Walks and car rides are two of my very favorite things! I'm easy on the leash, though a bike zooming by might get my attention. I'm good with other dogs and haven't met any cats yet. I'd probably be ok with older, dog-savvy kids. Toys aren't really my thing, but food is! I'll watch your every move in the kitchen and I'm gentle taking treats and never beg. I sleep in my crate and I'm crate trained, but I tried the big bed and oohh, I really liked it and I was a perfect sleeping buddy. I have good house manners in my foster home…I know how to use pee pads and I go outside too. I’m a very good girl and will just need a little time and patience when I settle into a new home to learn your routines. If you're ready for a happy little shadow, please fill out an application for me! https://tinyurl.com/FCCRadoptionapp Adoption fee: $395

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.
