Story
Rari was born on 8/27/17. He’s 18 a pound  Shih Tzu mix. He’s very sweet, but doesn’t like sudden touches from strangers, so he would be best in a quiet home - preferably retired and home more than not.. He’s super calm and not a barker, but will bark when strangers come to the door or meets new people. He’ll get nervous with thunder and rain, but as long as he is with his people he is fine. Rari loves attention and love.He’s extremely well mannered, potty trained, and can be home alone for long periods. He’s never been crate trained and chills at home without tearing a single thing and will not have accidents inside. Rari is sweet and loving and we are looking for someone that will love and care for him the rest of his years. He’s loyal and will follow you around, but most important - he will love you!       ##2012486##

My story? Well, it's quite magical. I was just an ordinary dog until one day, I discovered a peculiar stone in the park. It sparkled in a way that could only mean magic. Curiosity piqued, I touched it with my paw and was instantly transported to this shelter. I was a bit confused at first, but I've made so many friends here. I'm sweet and friendly, always up for a game of fetch. I love to learn new tricks, too. If you're looking for a playful and smart companion, I'm your dog. I promise to bring a touch of magic into your life.April 16, 2024, 8:48 pm

You see, I ended up here at the shelter due to a hilarious misunderstanding. I mistook the local dog-catcher's van for the ice-cream truck! I mean, who wouldn't? It had such jolly jingles! I hopped in expecting a vanilla cone, but instead got a free ride to this place. Oh, the irony! But let's not dwell on the past. I'm all about the future and finding my forever home. I promise to bring you laughter, love, and maybe a bit of mischief. Because, let's face it, life's too short for vanilla!April 16, 2024, 8:48 pm

Story
Tilly is a sweet and social dog who is making great strides with proper management and understanding. She requires a patient and compassionate foster who is willing to continue working alongside her to help her reach her full potential. If you're looking for a furry companion with a unique charm, Tilly might be the perfect match for you!Reason For Foster: Behavior - Foster to AdoptFoster Care Plan: Tilly struggles with what is called Abnormal Repetitive Behavior. This is similar to compulsive behavior but limited to more specific instances and triggers. Her main repetitive behavior involves spinning, chasing her tail, and attempting to bite her tail. During these episodes, Tilly can sometimes be redirected with verbal cues. However, it's crucial not to physically intervene as this may escalate the behavior.Tilly is in a foster home where between medications and routine she is very well managed. She would do best in a calm and quiet environment with no children. She is social with both dogs and cats; however, playing with them can cause her to become over aroused and more prone to episodes. Other than overstimulation, Tilly is also sensitive to her back end being handled including that her tail has historically been able to trigger episodes. Being mindful of these sensitivities as well as keeping her tail trimmed short has been effective management of these two triggers.Tilly will go home with medication and will have a behavior consultation at pickup, so you are fully prepared to care for this sweet girl. I am available through our Foster to Adopt program. This program helps pets awaiting foster or that are under medical treatment be placed in with prospective adopters before they are made available for adoption. If interested in fostering through our Foster to Adopt program, sign up to be a foster online and express your interest in Tilly We can schedule a pick up and meet and greet appointment. https://www.operationkindness.org/foster/

Story
Otis is looking for a loving foster home to hand out in until he is ready to head out on his next adventure. Reason for Foster: Transport Foster Time Frame: Until 4/27Foster Care Plan: Otis is currently undergoing treatment for an upper respiratory infection, which is similar to a common cold. There is a possibility that he is contagious to other animals, so we strongly recommend keeping him separated in a bedroom or bathroom away from your personal pets until he has fully recovered. He will go home with medication and once his medication is completed he will have a recheck with the medical team. I am one of the foster animals who is awaiting transport who will need fostering temporarily until the scheduled transport date to a new location out of state, where I will find my new loving home. Animals in the transport foster program will not be available for adoption since they will already be placed in the shelter they will be located at. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact foster@operationkindness.org
