Story
🎶 Bow wow yo yippee yay — meet Bowser! 🎶 Bowser is a 6-7 year old pup who is so ready to find his forever people. He’s one of those dogs who just makes you want to squeeze his face and shower him with love — and the best part? He’d absolutely let you! Bowser once had a family, but when he ended up in the shelter, no one came to claim him. He waited and waited… until we stepped in to give him the second chance he so clearly deserved. This golden-hearted boy is easygoing at home, loves a good cuddle and nap, and walks beautifully on leash — the perfect companion for peaceful strolls or cozy evenings in. Now entering his golden years, Bowser deserves a home where he can soak up the sun and the love. He does well with calm canine friends but would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only sidekick. His fur may be black, but make no mistake — Bowser’s a golden boy through and through.

Story
🌟 Meet Darcy – The Sweetest Little Meatball! 🌟 Darcy is a goofy, lovable, and oh-so-snuggly girl who’s ready to charm her way into your heart! With her adorable underbite (seriously, it’s the best one you’ll ever see!) and her chunky little frame, she’s basically a walking bundle of joy. At about 2–3 years old and weighing in at 39 lbs, Darcy is guessed to be a bulldog mix. She’s the ultimate couch potato but still has plenty of silly, playful energy to keep you smiling. Darcy loves people, gets along great with kids, and does well with other dogs. She hasn’t been cat tested yet but seems unbothered by our farm animals. 🐾 Why You’ll Love Darcy: Sweet, goofy, and affectionate – the ultimate family companion Dog- and kid-friendly Could thrive as an apartment dog due to her smaller size Loves lounging and being part of the family 🩺 Medical & Care: Spayed & microchipped Up to date on Rabies and Bordetella Will receive her final Distemper & Lepto vaccine on September 24th Heartworm test scheduled soon (just to double-check her health!) On monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention Darcy was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter, so we don’t know much about her past. She may not be fully potty trained yet, but with her smarts and eagerness to please, we’re confident she’ll pick it up quickly in a loving home. 💙 Darcy is the perfect mix of silly and sweet—a little meatball who’s ready to roll right into her forever family. Could that be you? 📩 Apply today to meet Darcy: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog Or email us at adoptions@hoovesandpaws.org

Story
Meet Bojangles! This loving bully mix is just five months old and already the happy go lucky kind of dog that people dream of having. While adventuring and floating on the river are his favorite activities so far, this fella is also down for playing with other dogs. Despite his adventurous nature, Bojangles will also settle well in a crate and is totally up for snuggling with his person. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.
