Story
Sweet little Skip was surrendered for adoption when his owner could no longer care for him due to health challenges. He arrived with his beloved bonded companion, Fanny, and the two are inseparable—they must be adopted together. Skip has kidney disease and is eligible for a medical foster arrangement, if that’s something his future family prefers. Despite his condition, he’s an incredibly affectionate boy who simply needs a warm, comfortable place to call home. If you have space in your heart and home for two gentle senior companions, Skip and Fanny could be the perfect match.  Consider completing an application and scheduling a visit to meet these sweethearts today. https://animalrefugecenter.com/adoption-application My ideal home: I need a calm, patient family to take care of me I'm good with: Most Other Dogs   Young Children   Older Children   Men   Women    Date of birth March 2013June 22, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Hi there! I’m Velveteen, a super senior sweetheart with a heart full of love and a professional-level cuddling skill set. My favorite hobby is claiming a cozy spot on your lap while we binge-watch your favorite shows together—I promise to be the best snuggle buddy and never spoil the ending. Don’t let my age fool you—I still have plenty of tail wags, kisses, and affection left to share. I’m friendly with everyone I meet and believe that every day is better with a little extra love (and maybe a comfy blanket). If you’re looking for a loyal companion who excels at napping, cuddling, and making your house feel like home, I’m your girl!

Story
Hi my name is Lainey! I'm estimated at 5 years old, weigh about 20 lbs and appear to be a full Shih Tzu (can not be guaranteed). I was surrendered with a small group of other dogs and we are now looking for our forever homes. I am quiet and a little shy, but not aggressive at all. It appears we were used for breeding and we are so looking forward to having the life little dogs like us deserve with a real family and real love. I just really don’t know what is expected of me- the trainer here says I need to “learn to be a dog”. I will need help with potty and leash training- it wasn’t important before. I am dog friendly, so maybe having a fur sibling will help me learn?My $350 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccinations, spay, dental cleaning/work (desperately needed!), deworming, heartworm test (negative), and microchip. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under adopt as soon as possible as little ones like me find homes pretty quickly!If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Story
Meet Darla! Darla is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as her adorable little face. This gentle girl is part of a very special four-pack that includes her friends Hector, Chia, and Poppy. Together, they make quite the charming crew! Darla is unimaginably sweet and loves being close to her people. She has a calm, loving personality and is happiest when she's receiving attention, snuggles, and affection. Despite a few medical challenges, Darla greets each day with a happy spirit and a wagging tail. Darla has a luxating patella, which occasionally causes her to hold up one of her back legs for a few moments. She is also taking Vetmedin for her heart, but neither of these things slow her down. She still enjoys exploring, spending time with her canine companions, and soaking up all the love she can get. Darla and her three best friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner adored them and had one final wish: that Hector, Chia, Poppy, and Darla remain together. They have spent their lives as a family, finding comfort and security in one another, and we hope to honor that wish by finding a very special adopter willing to welcome all four into their home. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While adopting four dogs may sound like a big adventure, you'll be rewarded with four times the love, four times the cuddles, and four times the joy. These little dogs don't ask for much—just a soft place to sleep, a loving lap to curl up in, and the chance to stay together. If you have room in your heart and home for this devoted little family, Darla, Hector, Chia, and Poppy would love to meet you.
