Story
Farley is a very happy boy who loves his people. He is estimated to be about 6 years old, and 13 lbs. He is an easy lap size, and does like to sit on your lap, but he is also content to be hanging out in the same room with you on a doggie bed. He is very treat/food motivated, possibly because he was quite underweight when he came into rescue. He likes to play with toys, especially stuffies, but hasn’t shown much interest in fetch. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, although he is at a disadvantage because he is deaf, but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. Farley is so cute! Especially when he does a funny little dance when he gets excited (his Chris Farley dance – think SNL) – sometimes spinning in circles, especially at feeding time or when you first get home. He walks on a leash. When he tries to get into something he shouldn’t, all it takes is a touch on him to catch his attention, make eye contact and direct him to something else more appropriate. He can be crated, although that is not his favorite, and at night, he typically sleeps on the bed (his foster parents caved because he is just too cute!) But because he likes to get into things, he does need to be crated when you are not home (he has gotten onto tables when he thinks there is food there). He may not be good in an apartment because when he first realizes he is alone, or when he is crated, he can panic and bark. He loves to be outside – if his people are there. If people are not outside with him in the yard, he will go out to do his business, and then wants to come back inside right after. If you are interested in Farley, please submit an application and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.

Story
Biscuit is a 9 month old, 11 lb Shih Tzu/Maltese mix. Breed mix is just our best guess. He is a great puppy! He follows foster mom around the house and is always close, so he will bond with his new people very quickly. Biscuit likes to play with toys and other dogs. He doesn't live with kids in his foster home, but we think he would be fine with most kids. He is past the puppy nipping stage, and he sleeps through the night in his crate. He is doing well on his potty training, but not 100% yet. He doesn't bark all that much, but when he does, wow! You will be surprised at the deep bark coming from this sweet, little guy! Please submit your application, and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Story
As a true Cowboy, he has legs that are a little bowed out and a stocky body. Though initially he is shy to be picked up, he is happy and walks with a wiggle that looks like he is dancing. Cowboy will just need some patience. His hair will be beautiful, even though he is currently sporting a crew cut due to lack of care in his previous life.
