This sweet boy was owner surrendered through no fault of his own and is now looking for a family to call his own. From the moment you meet him, it's hard not to fall in love. Sylvester is one of those puppies who just wants to be with his people. His favorite place is curled up in your lap, but when it's time to play, he's all in! He loves playing with people, wrestling with other puppies, and enjoying everything puppy life has to offer. Sylvester is a typical puppy, so he'll need a family that's ready to help him learn good manners and continue his basic training. His breed guess is a rat terrier mix, who are known to be smart and very active dogs.  Sylvester's adoption fee is $400. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. If you think Sylvester could be the perfect addition to your family, apply today at www.adoggie4you.org.

Story
We adopted Sadie from a shelter litter at 8 weeks old and have had her for the last 11 years where she has always had her dog sister in the house. She gets on fine with her sister and out two girls and wants to be in a family where she can get love and attention. Unfortunately, my youngest has medical issues which have restricted our schedule and our home does not allow them to be outside during the day. Sadie is free feed trained, leash trained, house trained, and a loving animal that just needs a family that give her more attention than we can currently provide. She’d be great for an active family where she can join you outside or as a companion dog who will soak up your love and give it back in return. We are really hoping to find a good refining situation as we rescued her with the full intent of keeping her as a member of the family.

Story
Face: Scarred. Soul: Beautiful. ARTHUR is a sweet, fun 27 pound mixed breed boy looking for a loving home. Arthur is an absolute charmer who loves people and playtime and is a fool for treats. Arthur is 6-7 years old. We have no idea how he ended up with that scar in the middle of his face, but we think it makes him look ruggedly handsome. If you're looking for cosmetic perfection, Arthur is probably not the dog for you. If you're looking for a wonderful, sweet companion, Arthur is great choice. We can't begin to guess at his breed mix, his family tree probably includes 10 or 12 breeds! Arthur is good with other dogs. If you'd like to meet Arthur, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Arthur at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
Little tripod PIERCE has recovered well from his amputation surgery and is ready to find his furever home! Pierce is a sweet, affectionate boy, about 8-10 months old and fully grown at 15 pounds. He spends his days charming his foster family, playing with his toys, playing with his foster siblings and just generally loving life. His 3 favorite times of day are play time, cuddle time and dinner time. Living on 3 legs doesn't slow him down a bit, he runs and plays with his foster siblings like any young dog. Pierce is a handsome mixed breed little guy, our best guess is a MinPin/Rat Terrier type mix. He navigates very well on 3 legs, he wasn't using the leg that was injured months ago and badly healed. Pierce is basicallly perfect, he's housebroken, crate trained and good with cats and other dogs. He would love to find a home with another similar-sized medium energy dog who loves to play. If you'd like to meet Pierce, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Pierce at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

Story
Adorable little terrier mix FRANK is looking for a home! He's a lively young 10 pound boy, around 10-12 months old. He's a bouncy, silly, energetic terrier mix, maybe a Jack Russell Terrier/Cairn terrier mix? Frank loves to play and needs a home where he'll get plenty of exercise. Frank loves his stuffed toys. He's whip smart and should be fun to train. Frank would be fine with a well balanced, playful dog but would be too much of a pest for an older dog or kitties. Frank was surrendered to us by someone who has mobility issues, he was well loved but too energetic for his former owner. He's housebroken and crate trained. If you'd like to meet Frank, please fill out an adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Frank at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized.

We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care.
