Story
Autumn is a delightful one-year-old pit mix with a dash of dachshund charm, weighing in at a cuddly 30 pounds. This sweet little ball of energy is full of life and loves to play! She has a playful spirit and enjoys romping around, but her favorite pastime is snuggling up with her humans for some quality cuddle time. Autumn gets along with some dogs, though she can be a bit particular about her canine friends. However, her love for people knows no bounds-she adores everyone she meets! She's spayed, up to date on her vaccinations (rabies, distemper, and Bordetella), and heartworm negative, making her a healthy and happy companion ready for her forever home. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate friend, Autumn is eager to fill your days with joy and love!

Phillip is 7 years young and full of love. He adores cuddles and endless kisses, and we’re hoping to find someone who will cherish him just as much as we have. He does have some hip issues, so a home without stairs would be ideal.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Are you seeking the goodest boy? Look no further, as his name is Saint and he is up for adoption. Rescue workers brought Saint in after finding him sleeping as a stray on a bench outside a remote house. They contacted his former owner and learned that he had abandoned Saint. His foster family lives near where rescuers found him. The foster family would love to adopt him, unfortunately their other male does not like him. Saint loves laying on the couch next to his person while watching tv. He lets out his extra energy by playing with toys or zooming around the yard. He can play with other dogs, or he can entertain himself. Although friendly to all people and children, he forms attachments to individuals. He knows sit, stay, up, down, lay down, no, come, leave it, crate and much more. Once you have him do something once or twice, it becomes second nature to him. He will chase a cat, but if you “say leave” it or “no” before the chase happens, he will leave them alone. This dog has everything to offer the perfect family. He is an easy trainable dog. His only downside is not having any people to ensure the best for this goodest boy. The current foster loves to talk about him, so feel free to ask questions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Penelope's foster mom says she is ""the sweetest thing ever""! She is her constant shadow and follows her around the house, just wanting to be near her. She also loves giving kisses, snuggling, and playing fetch with stuffed toys. She has the most adorable head tilt and floppy ears that seem to have a mind of their own! Penny, as her foster mom calls her, listens well and is house trained and crate trained. She loves sleeping in bed with her people and will happily stay in bed until you get up. She is good with the five year old boy in the home and is gentle with him. Penny is a great work-from-home companion and is content to be near you while you work. Penny was found by a good Samaritan after being abandoned at a dump. She doesn't ask for much and just wants a home where she will be safe and loved and a family who will never abandon her.

Story
Click on my profile to see an adorable photo of me with my buddy Maverick.💜,,,,,,,,,,,, 💜,,,,,,,,,,,, 💜,,,,,,,,,,,, 💜,,,,,,,,,,,, 💜,,,,,,,,,,,, 💜,,,,, My big block head and muscular frame may belie the fact that, underneath, I am just a timid boy looking for reassurance. I will need an experienced owner who understands my insecurities and is able and willing to provide me the daily structure and comforts of home that I so desperately need. I recognize that this is a very special request and am hopeful that a special person or family will be a great match enabling me to thrive. This special person or family, after an initial period of time, will reap the rewards of watching me blossom and become a wonderful, affectionate companion who will bring you unconditional joy for many years to come. I'd say that's a pretty good return on investment 😉,,,,,,,,,,. Questions About this Animal? Please email hart90office@gmail.com View My Profile: https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/HRT-A-53
