Im an adorable little fluffball searching for my forever homesomewhere I can get lots of love, cuddles, and playtime. Could that be with you? Adoption form:allfurone.org/dog-adoption-application/ *Remember - AFO DOES NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION or guesses as to breed from dogs pulled out of under-serviced high-volume intake shelters!Why? Our pets are rescued from shelters in underserved communities. All of our dogs and cats deserve to feel loved and know they are wanted. Each pet in our care has their own story which defines their individual personality, behavior, and needs. We provide proper veterinary care and offer a consistent routine to allow for any necessary behavior modification to happen in a healthy and positive way.Demands for visual breed typing and/or size requirements are contributing to larger scale issues that are impacting the ability of pets and their families to stay together during life changes. Every single pet in our care is beautiful and discrimination towards color, sex, coat type, size, and/or species is an outdated archetype All Fur One is determined to have all our adopters rise above. With that, AFO has stopped participating in visual breed typing practices that are detrimental to our cause, and therefore all veterinary records and pet profiles for dogs will reflect "Mix" as the breed.

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nala! Quiet Senior Soul Looking for a Patient Heart   Nala was abandoned by the only family she had ever known after 10 years, she struggled to adjust to a new baby in the home. When we first met Nala, it was heartbreaking. She was confused, scared, and shutting down, not understanding why the people she trusted had left her behind.   Since coming into our care, Nala has been given the time and patience she needed to decompress. While she has made progress, learning to trust again has been a slow journey for her. The world feels a little safer now, but she still needs someone special who understands that trust takes time.   Nala is looking for a quiet, calm home with a patient adopter who is willing to move at her pace, earn her trust, and give her the safe and loving environment she deserves. With kindness, consistency, and love, Nala has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal companion.   If you have the heart and patience for a dog who just needs someone to believe in her again, Nala may be waiting for you. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 9:34 am
