Story
Scruffy is a very sweet and loving dog. He can be timid at first but once he trusts you he is good to go. He has always been an inside dog but he loved having a back yard to go run around in before I had to downsize into a camper. He has gotten anxiety in the camper so I am trying to find him a great home. I have gotten him on Fluoxetine to help with his anxiety. I hate to lose him but I really want him to be happy. He has no medical issues and is fully house trained. Scruffy does get scared sometimes around new people or stressful situations and he has nipped a couple of times trying to get the person to give him some space. It’s only happened a couple of times in 10 years. The rest of the time he’s super sweet, loving and has an awesome personality. He has no health issues and gets regular check-ups. He’ll be the best dog you’ve ever had!

Story
Hi! My name is Rain. I am a really adorable girl and I am just looking for my furever home! I was dropped off at an animal shelter in South Carolina as a stray--I had a broken leg and was very sad, but I am all healed up now and right as rain! I am about 3 years old (born around 7/29/21), weigh about 12 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I am spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $450, and covers all of my vetting, and includes transport within the next two weeks, if my new family lives in the northeast USA. ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com! Thanks for checking me out!

Story
Molly came to us from another rescue in the area. They had rescued a lot of purebred dogs from out west who were used for breeding and asked if we'd take two. Molly was bred and had a terrible life before but now enjoys life to the fullest! She loves doing zoomies in her fosters yard and loves all the other dogs. Her tongue hangs out a bit due to all the extractions she had to have. She does spin sometimes, a lingering affect of living in a cage much of her life and feeling anxious. She is fostered in an all adult home, with dogs and cats. Molly is 8 and weighs 9.8 lb. She loves to be where you are! Looking for a close companion and willing to be patient as she adjusts, then Molly may be the girl for you. Spay, vaccines, microchip provided.
