Story
Jet came to us through our friends at Animal Rescue Corps. She was rescued from Oklahoma along with 62 other dogs discarded by a puppy mill. If you`re looking for a laid-back pup to cuddle up next to you on the couch Jet would be your kind of pooch! She`s still figuring out how to walk on a leash, but it`s only because she would rather be close to you. Either she`ll be walking behind you with her face smushed up against your legs, or she`ll cut in front of you to beg for some loving! And how can you resist those big doe eyes?Give Helping Paws a call to schedule an appointment with Jet and find out if she`ll be a good fit for your home! D.O.B: 10-8-21

Story
Scout, is a 10-year-old shih tzu mix who started life in a puppy mill, making her a bit shy around humans. But when it comes to dogs—especially Sophie—Scout is all in. Scout enjoys walks alongside Sophie, though she prefers to avoid grass.Sophie is potty-trained, while Scout prefers using a potty pad due to lingering effects from her early life.Her BFF Sophie, a 9-year-old beagle mix, is the ultimate social butterfly—she adores dogs, cats, people, and even carrots! She’s happiest on a stroll but also enjoys neighborhood watch duty from her favorite cozy spot. Though she was recently diagnosed with diabetes, she’s doing well with insulin management.Both pups are up to date on vaccines and looking for a home filled with love. Can you give this loveable, bonded pair a safe space? If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or fostering to adopt these besties, we`d love to hear from you!

Story
Bonsai has the cutest little face, don't you think?! He has the most expressive eyes and those toofers are just too much! Bonsai is a 4 year old Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 16 pounds. He warms up well to other dogs and has started playing with a ball or squeaky toys, too! He is nervous around new people, but he is getting braver every day! Everything is new to Bonsai, but he's getting used to wearing his harness and going to the bathroom outside. He likes to spend time in his crate since it's his safe space! He seems to take comfort in the company of another dog, so we think he will transition best into a home where he has a little dog buddy to show him around. He follows his foster mom around, taking in the routine. Between his curiosity and his food motivation, we're sure he'll adapt and become the best little companion! If you're as smitten with Bonsai's little mug as we are, submit an application! Bonsai's adoption fee is $350

Story
Please let us introduce you to Berlin! Berlin is a 6 year old Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 14 pounds. She's curious and friendly with other dogs and though she hasn't met any cats, we think she'd be fine around them! Berlin has never met a stranger and loves to be part of the pack! She gives great kisses and will like your hand or cheek to show you her appreciation :) She's doing well with crate training, and making potty training progress, too. Her dream is to be someone's lap dog, and she hopes to join a home where she will get lots of attention! Apply to meet Berlin and her Whoville tail and teefers will keep you smiling, we promise! Berlin's adoption fee is $300
