Story
A fosters-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Baby Bruno! Bruno may be small, but he’s got a big personality—and a little spice to go with it! This clever, loyal pup is full of love once he feels safe with you. At first, he can be nervous around new people and situations, but with patience (and maybe a little cheese), his sweet and affectionate side shines through. Because Bruno can become nippy if startled or rushed, he’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands “spicy” dogs and is willing to respect his boundaries. A calm, low-traffic home without children will be the best fit for him. Because of his personality, we are requiring multiple meet and greets prior to adoption and are not considering out-of-state adoptions. The good news? Bruno has plenty of great qualities to offer his perfect person! He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and enjoys the company of other dogs. A fenced yard is required. While he can walk on a leash, he becomes very reactive to strangers. To help set him up for success, Bruno’s adoption will include a couple of meet-and-greets and a home visit. He isn’t a dog for everyone—but for the right person, he’ll be a devoted and wonderful companion. Baby Bruno weighs 13lbs. and is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 03/22/2021). Baby Bruno has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Baby Bruno's adoption fee is $85. If you want more information about Baby Bruno, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Farley is a goofy, playful little guy who loves walks, food, and being close to his people. He loves to play, be silly, and keeps life entertaining with the cutest zoomies and energetic moments that are guaranteed to make you laugh. As he settles into foster life, he's learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and secure. Farley forms strong bonds with his people and is incredibly affectionate once he feels comfortable. Like many dogs who haven't had the easiest start, he can be wary of new people and may need a little time and patience when meeting strangers. With proper slow introductions, treats, and guidance from his humans, he continues to make great progress and build confidence every day. He’s crate trained, doing great with potty training, walks well on leash, and is very treat-motivated (which makes him highly trainable). Farley is continuing to work through some of his reactive tendencies and is making great strides with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. He’d do best with an active family who will walk him daily, keep him engaged, and provide the structure, consistency, and affection he thrives on. A fun, loving little companion with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and so much potential for the family willing to help him continue growing into his best self.

Story
      Chester Black 2-year-old,15 Pound, Shih Tzu mix Looking for a gentle, understanding soul to call his forever person.   Chester is a sweet, loving, little guy with a big heart and a strong desire to please the person he trusts. He’s playful, affectionate, and thrives on quiet companionship. He’s crate trained, potty trained (he rings a bell to go out!), and does great on a loose leash. Walks are definitely his jam. In addition, Chester has been trained and knows a lot of commands: sit, stay, wait, drop it, leave it, give paw, boop etc. He also loves toys and loves to play fetch.    Like many small dogs with a rough start, Chester is still working on confidence. He can be fearful and territorial, especially with new people entering his space. He may become anxious, or show defensive behavior when strangers come into the home. Because of this, his foster strongly recommends a quiet, adult-only home possibly with a couple or a single adopter who has a calm, predictable routine. No children please. Chester would also do quite well with a work from home person - he will just lounge in his bed perfectly quiet and content.    He is generally social and friendly with people and dogs he meets on walks. He just needs time and slow, respectful introductions to feel safe.  He would also enjoy having another small dog in the family to play with.   Who Chester is looking for:    A patient, dog-savvy adopter who understands fear-based behavior    Someone willing to give him time to warm up at his own pace    A quiet household with a stable routine    If you are a calm and kind hearted adult, who is ready to welcome a sweet, fearful, but full of potential little dog into your home, Chester Black is your man!   An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          June 14, 2026, 6:20 am

Story
A foster-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Princeton! Princeton is a charming 3-year-old Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix with a big heart in a small package. He does great with other dogs, has a moderate energy level, and absolutely loves being held—he’s a true cuddle companion. Princeton is housebroken and crate trained, making him an easy addition to the right home. Grooming isn’t his favorite and he does best when sedated for those appointments, but with his sweet personality and loving nature, he more than makes up for it. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who enjoys both playtime and snuggles, Princeton could be your perfect match. A home with a fenced yard is preferred as he likes to potty off leash. Princeton currently weighs about 7lbs., is about 3 years old (est. birth date 01/20/2023), and his adoption fee is $315. Princeton has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. If you want to know more about Princeton, please complete a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you within 72 hours to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Max is lovable, sweet and loves to cuddle. He's great with small dogs and ferrets. He loves birds and will chase them to try and play. He loves tennis balls and other toys. He loves his family, is always happy when his people come home and asks for belly rubs. He enjoys sun bathing in the yard. Max was abused when he was young and is currently in a household that struggles with anxiety and this has affected his behavior. Also we cant afford to take care of him. He is trained to use puppy pads. He has snapped at a few people over the years, out of beingscared and protection for his family. This is due to his former abuse. This has been managed by comforting him around visitors and/or putting him in another room. He's a good boy and we are sad to need to rehome him. He really is sweet and has a great personality. We feel his behavior would improve if he were placed with the right family would could give him the nurture and training he needs and deserves.
