Story
03/20/24 09:41 Very scared. Dog attempted to bite at times when handling. Very quiet & scared03/26/24 10:40 dog was evaluated and she did really well, friendly/playful. She allowed all touch , I would encorage to still move slowly with her when you go top pick her up, she does not like feeling cornered. Placed back up for adoption and she does well with other small dogs.03/27/24 11:13 due to over-crowding, pet has been kenneled with another pet of similar size. Both are doing well. No aggression seen from either.

Story
Welcome Martin! He is approximately 7-years old and weighs just 7 pounds but he should gain some weight now that he is in our care. Martin was found as a stray and brought to a city animal shelter. Because he had been neglected he was shaved down. When his hair grows back he will require regular grooming. He would prefer to be your one and only. We will update his profile as we get to know him better. Martin is available as a foster-to-adopt to see if he would be a good fit for you. If you are interested in meeting Martin please first complete the online adoption application at www.greatpets.org. Martin's $250 adoption donation included his vet exam, blood work, vaccinations, neuter surgery, dental cleaning, microchip and flea treatment. March 26, 2024, 3:59 pm

Story
Adorable Junior is the best boy. He is sweet, playful and just a joy to have around. He loves to be surrounded by his humans so someone who works from home or is maybe "young" retired would be a great match. Junior is doing wonderful at his foster home and is doing great at potty training but he will need reinforcement in a new home. If you are interested in meeting Junior the first think you have to do is complete the adoption application on our website www.muttlycrew.org

Story
Meet sweet senior girl Luna! This lovely girl was severely neglected, and then dumped like trash by her owner. She has some vision loss, and needs eye drops. But that doesn’t stop her from being a happy cuddle bug. She is waiting to find a family that will adore and cherish her for the rest of her days. She still has lots of love left to give, and she can’t wait to meet you! Interested in adopting this pet? Please contact us at questions@awishforanimals.org for more info.March 26, 2024, 4:19 pm
