Story
I am Grace. Actually, my name on paper is "DisGrace" but nobody callsme that. My hooman friends here say I have something called heart worms. And they say it is a disgrace that my previous people didn't have me on a heartworm preventive. I guess that's where my name comes from. Anyway, I started my treatment on March 6th. After a long six months of boring kennel rest and a few injections, I am officially clear as of July! This means I now get to do all the running and playing I want. I chase all the toys and am constantly having the zoomies. I love, love, love going on walks with all my favorite people and one of the volunteers even takes me to his dog friendly shop to run and play with the staff! I am an absolute cuddle bug and will adore every single person that wants my love. Though this also means I get a little jealous of other animals. I would do best in a home without other dogs and cats that keep their space. I do fine with cats as long as they aren't trying to snuggle at the same time as me.

Story
Are you looking for a friendly girl who loves to give kisses? Please pick me! I also love getting hugs. I stand up on my hind legs, then rotate so my back is against you. I gently rest my paws on your forearm. And if you bend over, I burrow my head under your chin. It's my favorite way to greet my hooman friends! I get along with the other dogs here at HOPE, and I don't mind the cats either. I am about two years old. My family had to move out of state, and they said they couldn't take me. I'd really love a new family. And if you move, please take me with you. I just want love. And kisses!

Story
My friends here at HOPE named me Oak because I was shaky and quivery like a leaf when I came here. That was a week ago, and I'm already opening up and developing some confidence. They tell me I will be solid like my namesake before too long. I had a bit of a rough start. I came from a bit of a dog hoarding situation. At least that's what my friend here says. All I know is that I lived with a lot of dogs, and I didn't go outside very often. When I got here I balked at doors. I didn't want to go out or in. I would drop to the ground and shake. But when I would see my hooman sitting on the ground, I would crawl to her for a hug. Now I am going through doors like a champ! I love to hang out in the lobby here. There are a lot of cats, and sometimes they scare me a bit, but I just leave them alone. They don't want to be friends, so I stay close to my favorite hoomans instead. I totally think I should be a lap dog, especially when they are trying to type. For some reason they put my front paws back on the ground and tell me "off." I don't think I like "off." On is a much better place to be! I don't have accidents in my kennel, but I have occasionally peed on the concrete floor in the lobby. It is concrete, after all. And so far, I have liked every hooman I have met. Loud noises scare me on walks, but I just scoot closer to my person. Oh! And I am about one year old and 55 pounds. Will I fit with you? Update: I was adopted, but now I am back at HOPE. I have gained lots of confidence, but I still adore people. I am a bit dog selective, so if there is another dog in the home, it needs to be the right dog. And it upsets me when children cry. I tend to jump on them. So perhaps I would do better in a home with older children.

Story
Hi, my name is Kimmie. I’ll bet you can see in my picture that I’m a sweet girl at heart. I started out in a prison training program. It was great because I was learning all kinds of things to make me an even better friend. However, they discovered that I have seizures. Because of this, they could not keep me in the program. That’s how I ended up at M’Shoogys. However, this isn’t the best place for me either. What I really need is a good home with good people who understand I have special needs and don’t mind giving me medicine to control my seizures. When I’m confused I also tend to want to bite so I can’t go to a home with small children as they don’t know about giving me my space. If you have a big heart full of love and understanding and want to take care of a dog that really needs it; I’m the one for you! Those adopting Kimmie could get her medication at Angel’s Vet at our cost.

Story
So, you think you've heard everything? Well, let me tell you my story. At the age of 12 my owner decides he just doesn't want me around anymore. Since I already had a severe ear infection he decides not to treat it but to put me down. Lucky for me he takes me to one of only a few places that wouldn't do it - Angel's Vet. When they refused, he told them he was tired of me and he'd simply take me home and shoot me. It's hard to believe such cruelty exists. But, so does kindness. And on that day, kindness won. Now, I need a little more kindness so I can live out my twilight years in a loving home. You might not be able to tell but I'm a very sweet. Come to M'Shoogy's and let me show you! Due to her ear issues, Snoops will require a monthly shot of Cytopoint.
