Story
Hey, I’m Zara. I’m just a big softie who loves good vibes and good company. I’m all about keeping things chill... no need to rush when you can stretch out, enjoy the breeze, and soak up some pets. Attention? Oh yeah, I’m a fan. If you’re sitting down, I’m probably leaning on you already. I’ve got this whole “big lapdog” thing down to an art. Head scratches, chest rubs, ear pats; I’ll take ‘em all, thanks. Treats are my weakness. I can hear a snack bag open from across the house, and suddenly I’m right there, sitting nice and polite (most of the time). Cookies, biscuits, peanut butter.. life’s better with a full belly. Walks are my other favorite thing. I love the rhythm of the leash, the smells, the fresh air. Every walk’s a new adventure. I don’t need to go fast; I just like being out there, side by side with my person.At the end of the day, I’m happiest when things are easy: a comfy spot, a few good treats, some scratches, and the people I love close by. That’s my kind of perfect.

Story
Breed: American StaffyAge: 8 years oldWeight: 40 lbsPersonality: -has vision issues (possibly a recent thing) and if you move to quick, can get defensive. Once she sniffs/licks you she’s fine. -LOVES to sleep in bed with people and doesn’t move an inch -has had some sort of Trauma at some point and is learning to trust again (if you know the breed, they typically bounce back quickly. She is taking a bit). After 3 weeks with Babs she play bows and wiggles when she runs around the house. -*caution* she WILL weasel her way into your heart really quickly. -ok in a crate (might do better on a consistent potty schedule with the crate)   Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windowsTo adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com   ##1305334##

Story
Hi there! I`m Diva! Yes, the name fits. I`m a dog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and an even bigger love for toys. Squeaky, bouncy, crinkly, fluffy, If it’s a toy, it’s mine. I’ll parade it around like a trophy and dare you not to be impressed.Treats? Don’t even get me started. I’ve got a sixth sense for snack bags opening. One crunch and I’ll be right there, sitting like an angel. I’ve definitely mastered the “I’ve never eaten in my life” look. It works every time. But honestly, the best part of my day? Playtime with my humans. Tug-of-war, fetch, chase.. I’m always ready. And when the games are done and you finally sit down, that’s when I really shine. I’ll nuzzle into your side, maybe flop right into your lap if you let me, because I live for affection. Belly rubs, ear scratches, even just hearing your voice makes my tail go wild. Basically, if you’re looking for a four-legged shadow who loves hard, plays harder, and wants all your attention, I’m your girl. I’m Diva! I was born to be adored.

Story
I’m Zeus, a senior boxer with a frosted muzzle and a perfectly earned sense of calm. I don’t rush anymore. Life tastes better at a slower pace. Short walks are my specialty. Just enough time to sniff the important spots, feel the ground under my paws, and remind the neighborhood that I still exist. Then it’s back home. Mission accomplished. Sunbathing is one of my true talents. Find me stretched out where the light pours in, eyes half closed, soaking up warmth like it’s my job. Treats, though... that’s serious business. I may be older, but my ears still work perfectly when a bag crinkles. I accept snacks with dignity and enthusiasm, preferably more than one, and I believe they are an essential part of daily happiness. Mostly, I like to chill. Soft beds, familiar sounds, my people nearby. I nap, I dream, I wake up, and I nap again. I’ve done enough proving in my life. Now I’m Zeus the relaxed, Zeus the content, and honestly, I think I’ve earned it.
