Story
Hi! My name is Funnel Cake. I’m way sweeter than a funnel cloud. In fact, I was rescued from the Pasadena animal shelter after it was hit by a tornado. That was REALLY scary and at first I was afraid of everything. Turned out that I had heartworms too. But, luckily SAVE Rescue Coalition found me and my foster mom has been teaching me all sorts of things! I’ve learned that people are actually pretty nice and snacks are awesome! I love treats so much that I’ve learned some other things too. I know sit, down, touch, crate, stay, and leave it. I’m potty trained and crate trained too! I even know what furniture I’m allowed on and what I’m not. I like other dogs, but my favorites are smaller dogs (I don’t mind if they’re bossy) and laid back bigger dogs. Now that I’m all healthy and I’ve learned that the world isn’t actually that scary, I’m looking for my forever home. I would love a home with another dog or a human that wants to play with me. I also really love training games and learning new things. My foster mom says I’m smart as a whip and that I’m definitely full of personality! I’m not a yappy pup, but I’ll talk (wooo) to you when I have an opinion to share. I’m probably a shepherd mix between 1-2 years old and weigh about 60 pounds. If you think I might be the pup for you, fill out an application at http://saverescue.org My foster mom will give you a call and tell you ALL about me. You can even find more pictures of me on Instagram! #funnelcakebeatsfunnelcloud

Story
Meet Minnie! Her giant ears are sure to bring a smile to your face--she looks like a little Whippet mix with her narrow face and long legs. She's a sassy, playful, snuggly puppy who's thrilled to be off the streets and out of the heat! She's about 3.5 months old and weighs 9 pounds. She's good with other dogs and kids, and she's working on house training in her foster home!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as ''Out of Town'' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.October 3, 2023, 10:40 pm

Story
Please note that we are a TX based rescue that transports our dogs once they are adopted. ALL our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Lucy - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Just one look at this face and you'll be hooked. I'm a tad bit shy at first meet but it only takes me a NY minute to warm up and want to be your next BFF. I'm a happy happy gal that loves being outside exploring...everywhere! I do great on the leash and will make a great pawtner on neighborhood strolls and nature hikes. I'm also a good girl on car rides, making me an excellent co-pilot for any errand runs or sight seeing trips. I am house trained and do great with other dogs. Having a playful sibling to chase around the yard stealing...err I mean sharing toys would just be the bomb. At around a year old I'm still pretty much a pup yet that will need daily exercise and playtime but with that in I should do great in town with a yard, out on a farm or anywhere in between. And my 16ish lb adult weight puts me at a great size to be that pawsome family member! Do you need that special someone to share in your adventures? Well, guess what? I just may be the one you've been looking for. Just fill out my adoption application and I'll take it from there!!!

Story
Animal Profile: Cricket is an estimated 1-year-old, 24 lb neutered male mix (possibly whippet/hound) who was taken into the Hawaii shelter as a stray. He loves everyone, dog and human alike, and seems good even with little kids and cats. He is playful but not pushy with other dogs and was interested in but not aggressive towards a cat. He seems to have had no prior training with a leash and occasionally jumps up but he's very dainty and we think he'll learn quickly. Foster Update: Cricket would do well with an active family who he can hike and run and play with, then spend serious downtime snuggling. Like any young dog, Cricket needs training to contain his excitement (jumping up), increase attention span and walk nicely on leash.  He is not a barker, but will do a quiet whine and paw at you for attention.  If you are looking for a young dog to train for agility, this is your guy! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, current rabies/DAPPV/bordetella vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and heartworm test. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue. Apply onlinewww.DogGoneSeattle.org Animal History: This dog was transferred from COH Animal Shelter in Hawaii by Paws Across water.  He arrived in Seattle on September 14, 2023 and is now available for adoption.October 4, 2023, 3:07 am

Please contact Moira Corrigan (fastpaws1998@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.NyxTag No: 7012Registered Name: NoneBreed: Whippet MixDate of Birth:  Approx March 1, 2021Color: BlackCat Trainable: NoDog Friendly: Loves the company of other dogs.Kid Friendly: NoWeight  35 poundsLocation: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)Comments:  Nyx is darling. He can be timid and fearful at first, but once he is comfortable he is sweet, affectionate and playful.  He loves being with other dogs and people, once he is comfortable.  Nyx can be easily startled, so we do not recommend him in a home with children.  He was found chained to a wooden kennel with dirt floors and it seems that is where he had spent his life, poor guy.  He will need a calm, quieter home and environment.  Nyx is not suitable for an apartment/condo/townhome and will need one without cats.Nyx would love to have a sponsor.  If this interests you, please see: https://greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/ Greyhound Pets, Inc. - www.greyhoundpetsinc.org - 877-468-7681 WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT A GREYHOUND?
