Story
Judy is a 2 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. She is a friendly dog with bouts of puppy-energy and unpredictability. We love Judy, and will be very sad to see her leave our family. But with three young kids and busy schedules, we feel she would thrive in a more predictable and even-keeled environment.We are not looking for an adoption fee for Judy. We just want to make sure she ends up in a good home where she is loved.

Story
Charlie also known as birch what can we say. He is lucky he is alive, he was adopted back in May to who we thought was a loving family. I'm sure they loved him until they decided they didn't. He swalloed a small plastic cap which they careless allowed him to get access to. After a couple of days of him not eating, vomitting blood they decided to take him to the vet to be PTS. Well thankfully the vet cared more about him then his family because they reached out to us after they looked through all his medical. We didn't hestitate, one of out fosers drove to pick him up and stayed with him in the ER until he was admitted. Now that is love.  After speaking with the vet we were told they could break up the cap and do laser surgery instead of cutting him open, this was great because his healing time was immediate. Charlie is now with a foster waiting for his furever home, if you are interested in giving Charlie the love he deserves apply today. www.fromalonetohomerescue.org ##2853066##

Story
🐾 Meet Canela! 🐾 Name: Canela Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 64 lbs Size: Big girl, big heart! ❤️ Canela’s story is one of survival. We rescued her just minutes before she was scheduled to be euthanized at a high-kill shelter in South Texas, near the Texas–Mexico border. She was given a second chance, and now she’s ready to find the family she was always meant to have. Canela is a big, beautiful ball of energy with an even bigger personality! She is incredibly sweet, loving, smart, curious, playful, and adventurous. She loves being involved in everything her people are doing and is definitely a Velcro dog — if you’re there, she wants to be right there with you. ❤️ She LOVES to play, and water is one of her favorite things! Whether she’s running around, exploring, playing with her ball, or finding something fun to get into, Canela is always ready for her next adventure. She is leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, and she does well with kids. She also enjoys other dogs who can match her energetic and playful temperament. Now, let’s talk about her personality! 😂 Canela is not shy about asking for attention. She has a demanding little personality when it comes to getting love and attention, and she will absolutely let you know when she thinks it’s time to focus on her. She’s affectionate, people-oriented, and wants to be part of the action. And one very important Canela fact: She can jump ANY fence. And I mean ANY fence. 😂 Height does not seem to matter to this girl. Her future family will need to be extremely careful with fencing and have a secure plan to keep this adventurous escape artist safely contained. 🏡 Canela’s ideal home Canela needs an active home with people who understand and appreciate an energetic young dog. She would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, exercise, and keeping their dog mentally and physically engaged. Her energy can be a lot if you’re expecting a calm couch potato — but if you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who will shower you with affection, Canela may be your girl. Once you get past her “I HAVE ENERGY AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT!” personality, you’ll discover the most loving, loyal, affectionate girl. Canela has already fought hard for her second chance. Now she just needs someone who will give her the active, loving forever home she deserves. 🐾❤️ Could Canela be your next adventure buddy? Canela is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.
