Story
Winter was in a shelter when COALDR found her and brought her into rescue. She’s estimated to be at least 10 and is missing most of her teeth which causes her tongue to hang out the side of her mouth in the most adorable way. Other than that, she’s in excellent health and has the energy and personality of a much younger dog. She does have some anxiety and seems to get nervous around loud noises. Being picked up seems to really frighten her but she does calm down and will calmly let you hold her. She LOVES to cuddle too once she’s comfortable She’s good with dogs and cats, unknown with children but would probably be less anxious around older kids. She can be very anxious at times. She prefers quiet and will run and hide when her foster siblings get excited and start barking. Her foster mother has never seen/heard her bark. She also has severe anxiety when it comes to being picked up which makes it difficult to get a harness/leash on her and she doesn’t walk well on leash once it’s on her. She will need to have a fenced in yard because of this. She does settle down once picked up and will calmly allow herself to be held. She’s very sweet and loving, always wants to sleep next to foster momma in the big bed but she definitely has a startle reaction to being picked up-like she was grabbed. A lot. Winter may not have many teeth but she LOVES to eat and given the chance she will get into the garbage or anything left within reach. She is fully housebroken if taken out frequently and regularly but will also use pee pads inside Winter doesn’t seem to care about toys but she LOVES running around foster mom’s yard chasing the chickens and ducks. She has a surprising amount of energy for being what the vet estimated to be at least 10. She has a true joy and excitement for life and never fails to make her foster mom smile and laugh at her silly antics Winter just recently had a dental, she is spayed, microchipped & up to date on vaccinations. Could this precious pup be your next family member? Please apply for Winter at www.coaldr.org.

Story
Latte is a 7 year old female Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix. She is loving towards anyone she meets. The perfect companion. She is playful, and cuddly. She is dog friendly, cat friendly and kid friendly. Latte was severely mistreated by her previous owners and developed extremely large kidney stones. Altruistic worked with an independent foster to get her treated and she now has no signs of kidney stones. Due to her previous frequent urination, she is not yet potty trained. She is a smart girl and is going outside and on pads about 60% of the time. She is good with cats, dogs and children.
