Story
 Please read this description before submitting an application. Goofy is a 5-year-old Maltese mix who has never had any formal training, but he’s smart and will learn with the right guidance. Goofy needs a patient and experienced dog owner who can provide structure and positive reinforcement to help him thrive. Because of his lack of training and tendency to be stubborn, Goofy cannot be in a home with children though he gets along well with other dogs. He needs a calm, adult-only environment where he can feel safe and secure. A single-family home or townhome would be ideal, giving him space to settle in comfortably. Goofy will need an owner committed to working with a professional dog trainer to help him build confidence and learn good manners. With time, consistency, and love, Goofy has the potential to be a wonderful companion. If you have the experience and dedication to help Goofy become his best self, he just might be the perfect pup for you! Fill out an adoption application to schedule your own private meet and greet with this furry friend.

Story
Hello, my name is Tuffy, but I’m not tuff at all. Happy, with a wagging tail, is my way of showing affection. I’m a little shy at first, but with patience and time I warm up; I give kisses and enjoy being petted. I love to play with toys, and chew on Nyla-bones! I’m 12 years old and very healthy. I love to curl up on my dog bed, near you, and take my naps. I get along fine with my foster-dog siblings. I guess I would say I’m the perfect dog for someone wanting an easy-going, low-maintenance companion. If you are interested in meeting me, log on to www.foster2home.org, fill out an application and someone will contact you.
