Meet Tucker – the sweetest senior gentleman around! Tucker is a 14-year-old sweetheart who’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love. This gentle old soul is friendly with everyone he meets — dogs, cats, kids — you name it! He’s perfectly housebroken and has the calm, easygoing nature that only comes with age and wisdom. Tucker’s previous owner loved him dearly but could no longer care for him, so now he’s hoping to find a forever home to cherish him through his senior days. He’s a total lovebug who enjoys being near his people, soaking up attention, and sharing quiet moments together.

Story
ZOE! - Saved from neglect, this little angel is deserving of a loving furever home! Zoe's been through a lot in her 8 yrs - She hadn't been groomed for years (her makeover transformed her!), and lost an ear due to a rubber band that was used instead of grooming. And she is Blind! Despite being terrified and in pain during her recovery she has shown her resilience while with her foster. She eats and drinks well and has been using pee pads she goes over to in her pen (she still is nervous outside in a leash). Due to being Blind a calmer household is best for her. She should be in a single family home because she is a barker due to the lack of eyesight, it is her defense mechanism. Zoe is spayed, vaccinated, had flea prevention and dewormer. Other than being blind and her ear still on the mend (though she is finished with medicine), this 7.4 pound lady was determined to be healthy by a vet, so is now ready to settle in a safe loving furever home. If interested in Zoe put in an application to The Furry Paws Inn today!Zoe must go to a home in the state of Maryland. about 1.5 hrs from Joppa or less.

Story
Kodi is a 10-year-old small terrier mix with a black coat, a perfectly frosted nose, and absolutely no idea that he’s considered a “senior.” He’s got the energy of a dog years younger and keeps up just fine with his much younger foster siblings.Kodi loves his people. Like… loves them. If you’re in a room, he will be too. If you’re sitting, he’s beside you. If you’re lying down, expect kisses. About 95% of his time is spent being with his humans; the other 5% is split between sleeping in the bed, destroying toys (mini-terrier style), and waiting for dinner like it’s the most important event of the day.He is crate trained, potty trained (the few accidents were human error, not his), knows “sit,” and walks nicely on leash. He enjoys his walks, is easy to leash, and greets new people and dogs with enthusiasm. He can be a little barky and extra friendly at first, but it’s all just excitement — he genuinely wants to be everyone’s best friend.Kodi has no behavioral issues and a whole lot of love to give. He hasn’t met cats yet, but given his size and friendly nature, a confident cat would likely roll their eyes and move on.If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a professional cuddle bug, and a dog who will celebrate your return home like it’s the best moment of his life, Kodi is ready to sign up for forever. If you’d like to take Kodi home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Story
Hobbs is a 4-year-old, 11-pound mixed breed who is equal parts adorable and gentle soul. He looks like a little blend of Shih Tzu, Poodle, and Schnauzer, with a tan-and-gray coat and the sweetest expression. He may be petite, but his heart is big.Hobbs came to us as a stray and needed a little time to find his confidence — and wow, has he blossomed. He’s now a total love bug who enjoys cuddles, kisses, being picked up, and simply being near his people. He’s the kind of dog who quietly watches from his cozy bed, always wanting to be close. He also does wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine friend. He’s gentle with cats, playful without being rough, and shares toys, food, and space beautifully.Hobbs loves slow, sniff-filled walks (not a power walker!), warm fluffy beds, stuffed toys, and collecting his “treasures” — treats, toys, or the occasional sock — and bringing them back to his home base. Cheese and grilled chicken are his ultimate motivators. He’s mostly housebroken with a consistent routine, sleeps in his crate at night, and comes when called. Hobbs thrives with routine and would be happiest in a calm home where things stay fairly predictable.Hobbs would also do best in a home where he has companionship — human, canine, or both — and where his gentle, sensitive nature can be appreciated. He is healthy, sweet, and ready to be someone’s very loyal little shadow.If you’re looking for a soft, affectionate dog who just wants to love and be loved, Hobbs might be your guy.If you’d like to take Hobbs home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $300 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication.
