Story
Romeo and Juliet were both street dogs, traveling everywhere together, looking for food and love. They were finally picked up by animal control in Georgia where they remained on a stray hold until they could be released. Animal control soon realized that Juliet was pregnant by Romeo so they called us to see if we could get them out of there before she gave birth. We had them immediately transported here to Tennessee and two weeks later she gave birth to 7 puppies. Sadly one was stillborn but the remaining 6 are all healthy happy babies who have all been adopted. Now it's Juliet's turn. She is crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and heart worm negative. Juliet is very high energy but extremely lovable. She is excellent with my 3 year old granddaughter and as you can see in the photo, fine with cats. Wouldn't you love to give her a loving and forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION ADOPTION FEE $700

Story
Looking Glass Animal Rescue is a 501c3 virtual rescue, using a network of dedicated fosters throughout Louisiana and the Northeast to care for our animals until adoption.  You may be required to travel if approved for adoption.    Looking Glass Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) virtual rescue, using a network of dedicated fosters throughout the Northeast, Louisiana and Florida to care for our animals until adoption.  You may be required to travel if approved for adoption.   Meet Wesley!  This senior guy is truly a gem.  The vets can't agree but Wesley falls somewhere between 9 years of age and 13 years of age, however his age does not slow him down.  Wesley is not necessarily a lap dog but he does enjoy sitting right beside you if you'll spend the time to pet him.  He doesn't bark or make much noise at all - we believe he is likely deaf or quite hard of hearing.  However, he does communicate....his most notable signal is dancing in front of you - could be he's to see you, could be it's time to eat or he wants to go out, but he will let you know.  Wesley enjoys the outdoors - he'd be happy to go for a walk around the block each day, and is great on a leash.  Wesley gets along with other animals, even cats don't bother him.  As for people, Wesley knows no strangers!  He's a little spoiled in the eating department, loves people snacks and chicken thighs for dinner, maybe a sweet potato or string bean here or there, but at his age, he deserves to be a little picky!  We pulled Wesley from a shelter, got him up to speed on his health and now Wesley is in Florida waiting to hear we've found just the perfect adopter and home for him.  Wesley would make a great companion for someone who's home more than not, although he does fine while his foster mom is out, he just misses his people, and for someone just looking to add that little bit of joy that's missing, which only this little fluff ball can bring!     Applications for Wesley can be submitted through https://lgarinc.org/adoption-application/.  Please note that you must be 25 years of age to adopt and we reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone.  All applications are subject to review and approval and a tax-deductible adoption donation is required to be paid prior to adoption day.   Please note that you must be 25 years of age to adopt and we reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone.  Please be advised that we will not approve adoptions to persons who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on this application.  Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Story
Johnnie ... no kids, good w dogs, savvy owner because he can be quirky and you need to read his cues. Johnnie was returned today after 8 months in a home . Johnnie is a lot like my own pup, Herschel. Herschel doesn't like to be handled or pet or will bite. Who knows the reason, it doesn't really matter why... I know and respect my dogs triggers and don't get bit. He's my baby and always wants to be close, just on his terms. Just like Johnnie. We will be working w a trainer for Johnnie.  He's a senior, shih tzu who is blind in one eye. He deserves better, and we will do all we can to make sure he gets the best of the best.  Do you have experience with a little like Johnnie, and want to open your heart and home for him?  Then fill out our application below, but please, only if you are truly serious about giving Johnnie his "forever" home.

Story
Rosco is 10 years old, good with other dogs as long as they aren't right up in his face!  He's more of a laid back kinda guy.  Loves taking walks but then loves his naps even more.  He would do just great with a family but preferably kids that are 13+.   Nothing seem to bother Rosco, just an all around easy guy waiting to snuggle on the couch with you.
