Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Meet Rosie – A Gentle Soul in Need of a Loving Hospice Home. Currently in a short term foster, but looking for something more permanent! At 14 years old, sweet Rosie the Shih Tzu found herself at our shelter after her owners could no longer care for her. This tenderhearted senior is understandably confused and sad, but still full of love to give. Rosie is looking for a quiet, compassionate home to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness and comfort. Rosie is a gentle, low-maintenance companion. She uses pee pads reliably and enjoys short, easy walks. Her calm presence makes her a perfect fit for someone looking to make a meaningful difference in the life of a senior dog. Rosie does have some medical needs, which we’re happy to discuss with anyone interested in providing her with hospice care. For more information, please contact Nicole at Nicole@faithfulfriends.us.
