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
I’ve had Giselle since December of 2019. She was born in November of 2019. She is a very loveable dog. She loves attention, cuddles and being rubbed. She is small; about 10 pounds. Giselle would do best with a single person or couple who can devote a lot of attention to her. My life has changed a lot and I can’t give Giselle the attention she is used to. She is house trained for the most part but she does have an accident inside when she wants attention. She would do best with older kids like 5 and up.

Story
Meet Beau! 💙 This small, adorable guy came to the shelter feeling fearful and avoidant, but once he landed in his foster home, his true personality quickly began to shine. Beau has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate companion whose favorite things are cuddling up with his people and enjoying playtime. His foster parent reports that he’s been an easy house guest—he settles well on his own and is housebroken. When Beau was first found, his finder shared that he did great meeting their two small dogs and was comfortable around kids in the neighborhood. Beau is a gentle, loving pup ready to find a forever home where he can continue to feel safe and adored. 🐾

Story
Ciilo and Rosco are a bonded pair who find themselves searching for a new beginning through no fault of their own. They’re hoping to find a soft place to land together—a home where they can feel safe, loved, and stay by each other’s side. Ciilo is the naturally outgoing one, happily making friends wherever he goes. His confidence and friendly spirit help Rosco feel more at ease in new situations. Rosco can be a bit wary when meeting new people, but once he knows you, he’s incredibly loving and affectionate with his favorite humans. Together, they’ve done well meeting kids and another dog with proper introductions. They were also curious about the cat in their previous home and would likely do best with slow, thoughtful introductions there. Ciilo and Rosco are comfortable being crated but have also proven they can free roam without any issues. This sweet duo is ready to bring double the love to a patient, understanding home that will cherish them as the pair they are.
