Story
I work as a veterinary nurse and one of my clients needed a foster as they moved to China. They could not afford the health certificate to bring Maddie with them, so we took her into our home. She has been living with us since July 2025 and still has not fully adjusted to my dog (they do get along okay, though). She is also not well trained and does use the bathroom in the house. She is admittedly a very stubborn dog. She does have a healthy apatite and is very food motivated, fortunately. We just do not think we are a compatible family for her and would prefer to avoid taking her to a shelter.

Story
Looking for a big personality in a small, fluffy package? Say hello to Bella, the 13-lb Shih Tzu who proves that the best things really do come in fun-sized editions. She may start out a little shy, but give her a minute and suddenly you’ve got a snuggle-obsessed shadow who thinks your lap is prime real estate. Couch? Bed? Your favorite hoodie? Bella will gladly occupy all of the above. Bella is a mature 5–6 year-old lady who enjoys the finer things in life: slow, classy vibes only. She loves calm dog friends and even cuddles with her foster dog sister… but don’t bring that wild puppy energy around her. She’s far too sophisticated for that nonsense. She’s got a couple of quirks (don’t we all?). Face cleaning? She’ll tolerate it with a little patience. Snuggling with you while someone approaches? She may throw some diva side-eye or a growl at the person approaching - easy fix, though: just pop her back down on the ground and she remembers she’s a gentle lady. Her hobbies include: - Eating all the snacks - Strutting her stuff on walks - Perfecting the art of napping - Using the bathroom outside… or a puppy pad if it’s a code-red situation - Being the cutest thing in the room Bella is crate trained, affectionate, hilarious, and looking for a patient home that appreciates a dog with charm, snuggle skills, and just the right amount of quirky diva energy. If you’re ready for unconditional love (and possibly losing your lap forever), Bella’s ready to move in! To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $300, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Hi, I’m Bear I might look like a big brave guy, but truthfully, I’m a gentle soul who just needs a little time to feel safe. When I first came to my foster home, I was very nervous — especially around men. I wanted to be friendly, but I wasn’t quite sure if I could trust everyone yet.The good news? I’m getting braver every single week.At first, I wouldn’t sit with my foster mom for very long. Now? I’ve just started climbing right into her lap (which I think is a big accomplishment!). I’m still working on feeling completely comfortable, but I’m trying my best.I’m a very sweet and quiet boy. I hardly ever bark — just a few times since I’ve been here. I’m not destructive at all, and I’m perfectly fine relaxing on my own if you need to step out for a few hours. I like having my calm, cozy space.I’m housebroken and I try really hard. I did have a few accidents when I first arrived, but that’s pretty normal in a new place. Recently, if there are people outside in the yard, I get a little too nervous to go out — and that’s when I might have an accident. With patience and reassurance, I know I’ll keep improving.What I’m really looking for is someone patient and kind who understands that building trust is a journey. Once I feel safe, I’ll show you just how loving and loyal I can be. Lap sitting is just the beginning. If you give me time, I promise I’ll give you my whole heart.xo Bear

Story
Hi there… my name is Runt. Yep, I know — kind of a funny name for a distinguished gentleman like me. But don’t let it fool you. What I may lack in size, I make up for in heart.I’m a sweet senior guy who’s been hanging out in a foster home, brushing up on my house manners and perfecting the art of cozy naps. I’ve learned that soft beds are one of life’s greatest treasures… right up there with belly rubs and kind humans.My foster family says I’m the definition of “easygoing.” I enjoy the simple things — short strolls, sunny spots on the floor, and being near my people. I’m not into chaos or drama. I’m more of a quiet companion, a steady presence, the kind of pup who will happily sit beside you while you read, watch TV, or just relax after a long day.I may be in my golden years, but my heart is full of love and ready to give it all to my forever family. All I’m really looking for is a comfy place to rest, a gentle hand to pet me, and someone who will see how special a senior boy can be.If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with soulful eyes and a calm spirit, I’m your guy.Love,Runt
