Story
"Greetings! I am Magic - formerly known as Fonzy. I am a very special boy with a lot to offer. First and foremost, my Magic dust! You'll be so charmed by me that the only explanation is something supernatural! I have lived a super hard life in my short year and a half on your mortal earth. I was on my own - I don't know how long it was but my hair got very matted and I got really skinny while I was a free man. I can be a little stand offish with new people, but if you give me a minute, I'll come to you when I am ready to share my charms. When you come meet me, don't forget that whiffle balls are my favorite!" Magic is a 1.5 year old boy who loves being active! He loves fetch, frizbee, walks, and car rides! He is a busy body who likes having things to do. He is a brilliant dog who can be taught any trick or skill. So far, he knows Sit, Down, Come, and his name! He is also working on learning Shake, Spin, and Speak. In his foster home, Magic has learned basic dog skills like housebreaking, playing with toys, sharing his space with humans, and is working on life with other animals. He loves going for walks in nature! He is a fantastic hiking buddy with very good leash manners. Magic went without essentials for too long. He is learning to appreciate warm beds, regular meals, vet care, and most importantly, endless love. He has so much potential to grow, and we want him to blossom into the gentleman we know he can be! Magic has been repeatedly failed by humans and it shows. He will do best in a home with no other dogs, and no people under the age of 18. With proper socialization and behavior modification, he may be able to live with other animals in the future. Magic takes daily medication for anxiety and this will need continued during transition to a new home. It is possible that he will be able to be weaned off this medication in the future. Magic is being fostered in southern Lancaster county. Interested adopters must be willing to travel to his foster home to meet him, and bring along any current dogs for the meet and greet. Magic is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and has been treated with monthly parasite preventatives. Please apply online at www.zoeshouserescue.com to schedule a time to speak with his foster mom for more information about him. Kennel License #9117 PO Box 2372 Reading, PA 19608

Story
Figgy aka Figs is a calm, laid back boy who is content with sitting in your lap, laying in bed with you, laying beside you...in other words, being your best friend! He prefers to have you in his sight at all times. Figs is on a strict diet of prescription food (he's a little too fluffy) and his snacks are green beans and English peas. His ideal home would include a fenced in yard where he can meander around the yard at his leisure. The only time he gets in a hurry is when it's mealtime. He loves to bark at squirrels, leaves falling off the trees, bugs, just anything that catches his attention. An apartment would not be ideal for him since he can be quite vocal If you would like to add Figgy to your family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.

Story
This debonaire and wickedly handsome boy is called Kloki.  He is said to be a Shih Tzu/Long Haired Chihuahua mix and at 4 years and 18  pounds, this boy is ready for a new home where he can King of  his kingdom and can get all the love and affection.  He has had some upheaval in his life recently and his forever first owner is living with people who have other pets which Kloki is not a fan of.  His loving owner cannot live on his own right now so he is sacrificing this loving dog to go to a home where he will be the only pet and the only creature that is the center of the person’s world.  He is housebroken, crate trained and he is not the happiest boy since the move.  He would sit on your lap all day long if you let him.  Are you wanting the love of a really small dog and a promise from you that you will see him through for all the years to come in his life!?  He is sweetly handsome and desperately needing a new place in life.  If you are interested please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   Tell us where you live when you write us the email. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.May 9, 2024, 2:12 pm
