We had peach since she was 8 weeks old. She made 1 April 1, 2025. She very clingy and loves to be rubbed. Very spoiled house dog. We are sad that we have to give her away but I refuse to neglect her so I want to find her a good home that would love on her like we did.

*Need her gone ASAP* I got daisy mae from the spca back in february & now i have to rehome her because im moving to a place that doesn’t accept her breed. Shes a sweet loving dog that loves to cuddle. Shes is somewhat potty trained but she will use the bathroom inside if hasnt been took outside in a while. Shes kennel trained but cries for a few minutes when she first goes in there. She has some chewing issues, she tends to chew on stuff alot which was one of the reasons for me to rehome her because i dont have the time to properly train her. Looking for a nice home for her to go to where she can receive the proper training she needs.

Story
Saint is my niece's dog and she is moving to a place that has older pets that won't be compatible with him. He's a very mild mannered, well behaved, calm dog and gets along with everyone as well as other pets. He is currently living with a relative and is safe and being cared for well. The person who is fostering him travels a lot and would like to see him go to a good home that can be there for him. He is current on all vaccinations and is neutered. My niece has told me that he's had seizures in the past but he hasn't had any lately. They don't know the reason for that. I would love to take him but we already have 2 dogs (one who is 17 years old) and one cat and it would be too much. Please consider giving Saint a good home.

Meet Carol, the lovable and easygoing canine companion you've been searching for! At 6 years old, Carol is in her prime, and she's looking for a forever home where she can enjoy the finer things in life, like lounging by the pool and savoring delicious treats.A Relaxation Expert: Carol is the epitome of a laid-back dog. She prefers leisurely strolls to intense hikes, and her idea of a perfect day involves lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun's warmth, and dipping her paws into the cool water. If you have a pool or are considering getting one, Carol is your perfect poolside partner.Treat Aficionado: Carol has a bit of a sweet tooth—or should we say, a sweet paw? She adores treats and can be easily won over with a tasty snack. This makes her an ideal candidate for a training partner; she's eager to learn and motivated by her love for treats.Solo Star: Carol thrives as the center of attention. She would do best as the only pet in the household, where she can have all your love and affection to herself. This lovely lady deserves to shine brightly in her forever home, and she's more than ready for her chance to do just that.A Long Wait: Carol has been patiently waiting for her forever family for three long years at the shelter. It's time for her to experience the love, care, and security that only a forever home can provide. She has so much love to give and is ready to share it with the right person or family.Give Carol a Chance: Carol's heart is full of love, and all she needs now is someone who can give her a chance. If you're ready to open your heart to a sweet, low-energy, and snuggly companion, Carol is waiting to meet you. Don't let her wait any longer—come meet Carol today and give her the loving forever home she so richly deserves. Together, you can make the next chapter of her life the best one yet.My adoption fee is normally $250.This includes a spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccines, deworming, a microchip, a heartworm test, and, if needed, heartworm treatment.________________________________________________________________________________________________If you would like to meet one of our adoptables or learn more about them, please submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/.**Note: Our shelter is open by scheduled appointment with an approved application.

Mo is a lovable and goofy boxer who just turned 3. He is fully house trained and is great with other dogs and kids. He loves playing fetch and getting in the pool. He sleeps in a crate. He doesn’t jump or chew, is not aggressive and does not have separation anxiety. He would probably do best with a companion and/or children. We have put a lot of work into training him. He really is a great dog, and we are so sad that we are having to rehome him.
