Story
Geoffrey is a distinguished gentleman in the 8–10-year-young range, weighing in at a cozy 25 pounds with the softest black-and-white fur you’ll want to pet all day. With his soulful eyes and gentle nature, Geoffrey is the kind of dog that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the little things—like a sunny spot on the couch or the perfect soft snack.He’s housebroken (and politely lets you know when it’s time for a potty break), walks well on a leash, and gets along great with both dogs and cats. He’s not particularly interested in chasing the cat—he may give a sniff or two and then promptly forget what he was doing and go back to napping.Geoffrey isn’t much for stairs (we’re working on it!) and he prefers to skip the crate altogether. He’s happiest curled up next to his person—especially if you`re handing out string cheese or chewy treats. He does have some arthritis and a heart murmur (doesn`t require medication), but he doesn’t let that get in the way of short strolls or sniffing around a fenced yard. His needs are simple: soft food, soft beds, and a soft place to land with someone who loves him.He’s not into high-energy lifestyles or hectic households. Geoffrey is looking for a calm, cozy home—ideally with someone retired or working from home—where he can be your loyal shadow and soft-eared confidant. He’s a little vocal when left alone, but quiet as can be once he knows you’re nearby. Although probably fine with gentle children, Geoffrey hasn`t been around kids under our care. Geoffrey is an old soul with a heart full of love and a serious talent for companionship. If you’re looking for a gentle, snuggly dog who’s past the puppy chaos but full of charm, Geoffrey might just be your guy.If you’d like to take Geoffrey 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
Meet Brody, the 5-year-old, 25-pound Snaggletoothed Smushhound—a rare and majestic breed known for its award-winning underbite and impeccable comedic timing. This dapper little dude looks like he’s constantly judging your life choices, but in reality, he’s just trying to figure out how to steal your snack. Brody’s underbite is so impressive that dentists study it in awe, and cartoonists use it for inspiration. He may not be able to close his mouth all the way, but he can open your heart with his ridiculous charm. Tug of War? That’s his game, and don’t even think about winning—Brody plays for keeps. When it’s mealtime or bedtime, he likes his space, so no interruptions, please. And as for cats? Let’s just say Brody is not a fan of the feline persuasion. He’s also looking for a kid-free home because, well, he prefers his humans fully grown and properly trained. Adopt Brody today—because perfection is overrated, and an underbite this glorious deserves to be admired! ?? If interested in meeting Brody, please submit an application on our website.

Story
Sasha was given to me as a gift with her sibling Ghost at 8 weeks old. The 3 of us have spent the last 8 years together and it has been lovely however she is in need of a new home ! She is the definition of a true lap dog ! She believes the purpose of her existence is to lay on your lap and be rubbed. Her most favorite thing in the world are cuddles ! She’s loves her brother but is slow to warm up to other dogs. She is energetic at times and loves to run around for a bit then come back for more cuddles. She enjoys car rides trips to the park but doesn’t like to get dirty. She will avoid dirt and mud at all costs. She has been with her brother ghost since birth and it would be great if able to adopt both dogs as they have never been separated. Please consider adding her to your home she will make a wonderful loyal sweet companion.
