Story
Meet Star! This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light. She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness. Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for. She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Benny and Cooper, who came to CHR together. Both boys are sweet and friendly. Cooper likes to greet strangers by crawling on their lap and giving them a kiss on the cheek! Benny the extra tiny one, is a little shyer. They both love food and treats. If you like to relax watching TV, they will sit next to you and often crawl on your lap for cuddles. Because these two brothers came to the rescue together, we are adopting them together at a reduced adoption fee. Both boys have had full dentals, neutering, blood work, grooming services, and fecal tests. They are in great health and at the perfect age of 5. They are not used to going on walks, so a fenced yard would be perfect for them. If you would like to adopt these sweeties, apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index
