Story
Meet Mrs. Cashew aka Tingi! Mrs. Cashew, lovingly called Tingi, is a 7 month old, 6-pound bundle of love with the sweetest little soul. This petite girl may start out a little shy - she likes to take a minute to observe the world around her - but once she trusts you, you have a shadow for life. Her foster says she now follows her everywhere, watches her every move, and greets her with the happiest kisses and full-body wiggles even after just 5 minutes apart. That loyal, loving heart is what makes Cashew so special. Why you'll love Cashew: A Gentle Cuddle Bug: She is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her person. Those kisses and hugs are her signature move. Dog & Cat Friendly: Cashew would love a calm, friendly canine sibling to help show her the ropes and boost her confidence. Brave & Bright: In just one week in foster care, she has made amazing progress. She had her first potty outside and is learning her routine quickly. She is a smart little cookie who is eager to learn. What Cashew is looking for: Cashew is still a puppy who is learning all about being a loved house dog. She is working on potty training, crate training, and leash walking and will need a patient adopter who will celebrate every little win with her. Leash walks are still new to her - right now she prefers to flop like a tiny starfish and soak up the yard instead! Because she is still building confidence, she would thrive best in a calm, quiet adult home without a lot of hustle and bustle. A home with older, respectful kids (or adults only) would be perfect for her. Cashew came out of her shell from a dog who wanted to hide, to a dog who wants to love and be loved. She isn't a "finished" dog, but she is a becoming dog - and watching her bloom is pure magic. If you have a gentle heart, a cozy lap, and a little patience, Cashew will repay you with a lifetime of devotion. Could you be the safe, loving hands Cashew has been waiting for?

Story
My previous owner must have fed me all the time so I ate all the time and now I need to get my svelte figure back with your help. I enjoy walking around at rescue, so I’m not a couch potato. I was in awful condition when I was rescued. My ears had handful of fur in them and I was pretty matted all over. I get along with everyone at rescue. I stay clear of the rowdy ones, but if they want to sit with me I’m good with that. I’m a good girl. I want a family that will keep me safe and I’ll reward you with lots and lots of love.

Story
Oliver is an 8 year old, 11 lb Maltese with a sweet, gentle personality. After spending his early years in a puppy mill, he’s shy with new people and situations, but once he feels safe, he’s a loving little companion who enjoys being close to his people. Oliver would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with another small dog to help build his confidence. He’s done well with cats and is warming up to men, although he tends to trust women more quickly. He isn’t destructive and doesn’t need to be crated, as crates can make him feel protective. Oliver does wear a belly band indoors. If you have a calm home and the patience to let Oliver settle in at his own pace, you’ll gain a devoted little friend. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $300, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Penelope Lou is eligible to foster-to-adopt so you can get to know one another before making it official! This 11-year-old Bichon Frise mix may be small at 8 pounds, but she has a gigantic personality. Penelope is a beautiful little lady with plenty of sass and charm. She’s incredibly sweet once she warms up to you, but she does have her triggers and will do best in a home without small children. Penelope would thrive in a home with a secure fenced yard and a family experienced with small dogs who know how to handle a little attitude. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with love - and maybe a little bossiness too! Penelope Lou currently weighs about 8lbs., is approximately 11 years old (est. birth date 02/01/2015), and her adoption fee is $85. Penelope Lou has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. If you want to know more about Penelope Lou, please complete a survey at www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you within 72 hours to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.
