Story
Tessa Terrier came to us from a kill shelter in Kentucky. This is a nice, friendly girl who is good with people & other dogs. She is very sweet, happy but would benefit from some basic obedience and confidence building. Her approx. birth date is 05/05/24 and she currently weighs 8.8#. We are guessing at her breed make up. This girl can become terrified if things get too overwhelming for her. She needs a calm environment and will not be placed with children. She has been vet. checked, spayed, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol. She is heart worm & tick born illness negative.  Her adoption donation is $350 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with her forever home. ##2340870##

Story
Meet Paloma. She is a Maltese/Poodle mix and has the cutest features of both breeds. Paloma is an older girl (around 10 years old) and like many senior dogs she is pretty set in her ways. She likes her personal space to be hers; she can be a little fiesty when other dogs invade her space, but she does settle down after introductions. She is currently in a foster home with 4 other dogs, so other dogs in the house are ok as long as they can respect her space. She is very loving with her foster mom. She loves to snuggle and get her one on one time, but it takes some time for her to get comfortable. She loves breakfast and dinner time and likes to slowly mosey around the backyard, but is mostly content to hang inside. She does have some minor issues with her back legs (maybe just aging), but she gets around just fine. She is also blind and hard of hearing, but does just fine in her space and exploring her yard, once she has had time to adjust and learn her space. She does respond when other dogs bark, so she does have some hearing. In her golden years, Paloma is looking for a quiet house where she can take nice long naps and snuggle her special someone. If you are looking for a quiet, super relaxed, white, fluffy friend, Paloma is the girl for you. Paloma will need a patient adopter who has the time to give her space to adjust to her new surroundings.  ##2429006##

Story
*** To alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. *** My dog`s name is Winston, and he is a maltipoo who is 10 yrs old going to be 11 this year. Hes been around a cat previously for 5 years and they got along well. He hasn’t been around a lot of toddlers. He needs a lot of attention and would do well with someone who is retired or works from home. Both of my kids are grown and moved out and I’m taking care of my mother who has Alzheimer’s by myself now. I don’t have the bandwidth to give him the attention he deserves and that’s why I’m looking for a home for him. He’s only 7 pounds and a lot of fluff so he can run in between your legs so not good for someone who can trip easily. He is a lap dog and is perfectly content just cuddling with someone. He does have a high-pitched bark and loves to talk when he’s excited. He is neutered and up to date with all shots. He did have bladder stones and he’s on a vet px diet and is due for his 4-month checkup to see if he has any left which I’m taking him to in another week. He just had a checkup, and his teeth cleaned end of last year. He’s in good health and very friendly. He doesn’t like to be on his back, so you have to hold him like a football but loves to be in someone’s arms. He is crate trained, and pee pad trained. I keep a pad in the bathroom for him in case, but he will go outside if you take him out regularly and as soon as he’s done eating. For adoption information, please email momi1600@gmail.com.

Story
We would love to introduce you to China! She is almost eleven years young, is spayed, weighs about 23 pounds and she is available for adoption! Once China feels safe with someone, the bond she has for them is so strong. She would be the absolute best friend to someone who needs a loyal companion. Since China is more introverted, a quiet home would suit her best. She mentioned that she thinks it would be so perfect if her adopter either works from home or is retired and gets to be home with her often. She asks that whoever adopts her is patient while she is acclimating in the home and is learning the ropes of being house-trained. Even though China is technically a senior, she is very playful and active once she is adjusted! She loves squeaky toys. She has lived with other dogs throughout her life. If your resident dog is gentle and welcoming, China may do well! She does not have to be placed into a home with dogs, though. Kiddos should be around 11ish and older. China is such a happy sweetheart once she trusts those she is around. She will follow you like a shadow and will take any opportunity to snuggle close. She for sure will make a lucky person or two feel like they are the most important beings in the world. Stop by MHS to meet China.
