We don’t know how long she was living on the streets but she doesn’t know how to play with toys or other dogs just yet but gets along great being around dogs of all sizes.  Her ideal home is someone with a chill home environment  who she can curl up next to, get some head scratches, and take some nice walks with.  Apply for Gilda at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html   **Gilda is an international rescue**February 3, 2025, 3:50 am

Story
Milo was rescued about 10 years ago when my son was in college. He has children who try to feed him and Milo doesn’t take the food gently. They also have a cat and Milo loves the cat! He is also great with other dogs and all people EXCEPT children. He is nervous around them and anyone who treats him aggressively. I now have Milo and I also have my own senior dog. I take him on little walks with us. He is energetic when appropriate (Chases his own tail, and Zoomies when we clap for him)! He’s a darling and happy little guy, but I work full time and don’t want two dogs. He really wants to be with people, and we want that for him too. He doesn’t want to be picked up, but craves to sit on a lap or next to someone who will pet him. He lets me bathe him and he follows directions. He is potty trained and rarely barks until someone knocks on the door, and then he only barks for a minute. He has great hearing, vision, and is in great health! He’s a great cuddle-bug for someone 🥰

Story
Eve, Female, 7 years old, black and tan, Manchester and Min pin mix, Shelter Survivor. Eve busted out of jail (the shelter) and is now looking for her forever home! She starts off skittish and scared but will warm up and play...especially with other dogs (she is shown in photo #3 with her buddy "Manny". She is crate and potty trained as well! Eve will require someone that has an enormous amount of patience... it takes a long time for her to come over for petting. She won't bite, but she is just afraid of people. She LOVE LOVE LOVES dogs. We have not cat tested Eve, however, we have seen her around a very small fluffy chihuahua and she seemed a little too interested in wanting to chase her. We do think she has prey drive and we think she may chase cats and bunnies. To be clear... Eve is she is great with dogs but very shy/scared of new people. She takes a while to warm up to you for you to touch her. She doesn’t bite. She is actually very sweet once she trusts you. However, if she does get scared she will try to “run” so you have to be aware that her response to fear is to run. She needs a secure house and yard for this reason. She is still a work in progress and will need a dedicated and experienced dog person to give her the chance she deserves. She is sweet, beautiful and an all around pleasant girl. Eve's ideal home is one with patient, predictable, calm humans and a secure YARD. Perhaps a good doggie to mirror and learn the ropes at your home. If you are interested in Eve, Please fill out OUR adoption application, we do not accept Adopt-a-Pet applications. Our application is located on our website www.k9spirit.org
