Story
We adopted Miracle to foster him (independent from an organization) and get him out of the shelter and into a home environment. He is what you could call a "shadow" he has taken to wanting to be right by my side. He lays at my feet, or in my lap, sleeps right next to me, follows me around the house and sits on top of the couch cushion as a perch and watches me from there:)I have 2 other dogs that he doesn't mind and they all just let each other have their space.He only has about 3 teeth but eats very well his wet food. His tongue permanently sticks out the side of his mouth due to his lack of teeth to hold it in haha. He is on medication to prevent stomach ulcers that he gets 1 pill a day. In the paperwork the shelter sent home it shows about 5 years ago he was training to be a therapy dog. For someone that would enjoy a companion or a shadow and company all day he would be the perfect pet!He is 9 years old and potty trained.

Story
Meet Hope Hope is an 11-year-old Lhasa Apso with a gentle spirit and a heart that's quietly waiting to learn how to trust again. Originally adopted after spending her early life as a breeding dog, Hope was dearly loved by her owner until they sadly passed away. Now, through no fault of her own, she's looking for another special person willing to give her the time and patience she deserves. Hope isn't the type of dog who will jump into your lap or immediately ask for affection. In fact, she's quite shy with people and needs someone willing to play the long game. Earning her trust takes time, consistency, and understanding—but watching her slowly gain confidence is incredibly rewarding. One thing that does make Hope feel secure? Other dogs. She absolutely thrives around canine companions and would do best in a home with another friendly, confident dog to help show her the ropes. She's also friendly with cats, making her a wonderful addition to the right multi-pet household. Hope is still working on house training. She uses potty pads some of the time but is only partially reliable and continues to have accidents. Going outside can feel overwhelming for her, and she currently shows little interest in pottying outdoors, so her future family should be prepared to continue patiently working with her without expecting overnight success. Despite her timid nature, Hope has a few things she thoroughly enjoys. Mealtime is always a highlight of her day—she has a wonderful appetite—and she even surprised everyone by happily soaking up all the attention during bath time! Hope isn't looking for perfection. She's looking for patience, kindness, and a home where she can move at her own pace with a dog friend by her side. If you understand that some of the deepest bonds are built slowly, Hope just might be your perfect match. 🐾 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
🐾 Meet Stuart — A Playful Little Guy with a Big Personality! ❤️ Stuart is an adorable white senior gentleman with a youthful spirit and an endless enthusiasm for playtime! At approximately 18 pounds, this lively little guy is proof that getting older doesn't mean slowing down! Stuart came to Melissa's Second Chances through no fault of his own after a change in his family's circumstances. Now he's looking for a loving home where he can enjoy plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities to play! If there's one thing Stuart absolutely loves, it's having fun! He's an energetic, playful boy who enjoys running around and making the most of his day. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs once he's had a chance to introduce himself, and he's even lived happily with a cat who became one of his playmates! Stuart has also done well with children of all ages, including babies and toddlers. Stuart does have a talkative side! He can be quite vocal when he hears activity outside, especially children playing or unfamiliar neighborhood sounds. He would benefit from a patient family who understands his tendency to bark and can help him channel his enthusiasm through playtime, enrichment, and a consistent routine. This sweet boy is comfortable in his crate and settles down calmly and quietly when left alone. He has also experienced some indoor marking, so his new family should be prepared to work with him on reinforcing good potty habits. Stuart has a history of a spinal condition that temporarily affected the use of his back legs when he was younger. Thankfully, his previous family reports that he hasn't experienced another episode and now happily runs and plays! His future family should be aware of this medical history and discuss any appropriate precautions with their veterinarian. Stuart is currently enjoying life in a foster home while he waits for his forever family. With his playful personality, love of other animals, and zest for life, this charming little guy has so much joy to share! Could Stuart be the fun-loving companion you've been looking for? 🐶💕 ----------------------------------------- Interested in adopting? Apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Stewart! Stewart is an 8-year-old Lhasa Apso mix with a sweet, loving personality. He is super playful and wonderful with children, cats, and other dogs and would make an amazing addition to a loving home! Stewart has a history of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), although he has not had an episode in many years. He does best with smaller dogs, as roughhousing with larger dogs can make him anxious. He also prefers not to be rolled onto his back unless he does so himself. Rehoming Stewart has been an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Unfortunately, our living situation has changed, and we are no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. Stewart is very loved, and our greatest hope is to find him a wonderful home where he can receive the love, companionship, and care he deserves!
