Story
This absolutely adorable boy is Dennis, a 4 year old bully mix who was found as a stray! Dennis is hilariously goofy, medium energy, snuggly, and LOVES tennis balls. He gets along great with other dogs, loves people, and walks well on a leash. He only has one eye but that doesn't stop him one bit! He is thriving in foster, here's what they have to say: "Dennis is a lovable gentle giant. He is very active and loves a game of fetch or a long walk down a nice trail. He's a goofball to the core and always always always wants to be around a human! He loves being loved! Dennis completely house trained, leash trained, and working on crate trained, although he has some separation anxiety we are working on. He is PERFECT!" We promised Dennis that the rest of his life, would be the best of his life. Could that be with you? ***APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com***

Story
Hello everyone! My name is Roxanne, although my foster mom has been calling me Rocky because Im her little fighter. Life has been tough for me but I keep getting back in the ring and wont let anything bring me down. I was found dumped and injured by my old owner, but I have been living in a foster home and am on the path to a speedy recovery. I am your can do anything type of dog. Ive been to the beach, hiked lots of hikes, and even went rock climbing with my foster mom! But most importantly, I love to snuggle up on a couch and lay with my human. I would do well in many types of homes: an adventure bound individual looking for a sidekick, a family with kids looking for a mascot at the soccer field, or a calm retired couple looking for a dog to take naps in the sun with. Here are some of my perks: crate trained, knows commands, walks well on leash, good with kids, food driven, loves toys, has not shown signs of separation anxiety or possession issues. I would do best in a household without small dogs or cats as I tend to be a little too interested in them. I am currently living with my awesome foster brother who loves my rough pitty play style. If I have siblings in the house, its best if they are male, and they dont mind my forward attitude. If you have questions about how I interact with dogs or my other personality traits, my foster mom knows me very well and can speak on my behalf! ***Roxanne's foster will be sponsoring her adoption fee (not including transport fee)!*** ***APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com***

Story
Hi, I'm Barbie! I'm looking for a new family! I love to play but also just snuggle. I'm only 4 months old, so I'm still a puppy. I'm still potty training but I do know to pee on pads. I sleep in a crate at night but enjoy the couch during the day! I love playing outside and chewing on toys. I also can jump really high, so you will need a tall fence to keep me safe.I really love kids and other dogs! I want to be like paw patrol and protect my family! My mom says I'm just like her- I like to sprawl out in all kinds of weird positions. I will let you hold me like a baby and let all my weight rest on you but let something scare or intimidate me and all my hair will stand up and I will bark away anything scary! Do you have room in your heart and home for a special pup like me?Barbie is part of our Home to Home Program.

Story
My name is Patch and I just turned one! My birthday was on Dec 1st. My foster family sang my name "Patches" like the "Peaches" song from Super Mario Bros., and my foster mom also calls me Princess or Snow White. I love to give kisses, especially in your ear and your hair (and everywhere!)I play with my doggie sister Holly a lot. We run in the yard and we play rough and of course I also give her kisses. She plays even wilder than I do. Sometimes I just get into my crate to get some time to relax or be by myself because Holly wants to play non stop. My foster mom says that I am such a good girl. I know how to sit, and I immediately flop over and ask for belly rubs (and I give you kisses). I'm a very good listener. I get excited and I do jump like I am on a pogo stick but I stop immediately when asked and I know to sit and stay. I love my toys, especially the chew toys. I gather them and have them in my crate. I share them with Holly, too. Sometimes she sneaks up on me and steals them. I love to snuggle on the couch and bed and watch tv. I love to please everyone. I love my foster kittties so much. They aren't so fond of me. I'm gentle with them and I also love to give them kisses. One of them really doesn't want me around so I don't go close to her. I am not too fond of loud or sudden noises, it makes me a little nervous. And you know who makes a lot of sudden noises? These little humans that we call kids. I am scared of them. The smaller they are, the more scared I am. They jump around a lot and it bothers me. I prefer the adults. I am still working on potty training, I know I have to do my business outside, but sometimes I have an accident in the house. I think I'll get better soon cause Holly is really smart and is teaching me to ring the bell to go outside.I think if you leave me by myself in the room, I might chew up stuff or might get into something or get nervous if I hear noises so you can let me hang out in my crate. I like to sleep there. At night my dog sister and I sleep on the bed and love it. I like to snuggle and get close to my dad's face and sleep through the night. I eat and drink well. I am doing fairly well on walks with my mom. I don't pull but I do need to walk without going zig zag. I do well with car rides too! I am quite chill. I'm a sweet and a beautiful girl who loves to snuggle and play, and listen, and loves to give kisses. I am a good guard dog! I'll let you know when I see or hear strangers. I love my foster family and I know they love me so very much. But my mom says we have to find a forever home that will adopt me so she can bring in another foster dog. There are so many pups that need a foster. Patch is part of our Home to Home Program. Although they are not a Pawmetto Lifeline dog, they have received the same high standards of care.

Hi! My name is Wilma!Me (and my brother Fred) were both found roaming across a cold, dark country road very late at night.

We didn't have a microchip and weren't neutered/spayed yet.I am a small/medium size, 1-3 y/o pit mix, who loves to snuggle, play, and appease my fellow pup and human friends!I am crate trained for sleep and didn't fence climbing during the day (8 hours) I know how to sit on command!I am not sure how I am with cats or children since I haven't had that experience yet!Wilma is part of our Home to Home Program.

Story
My name is Gus. My foster people have already given me lots of nicknames like Guster, Gus Buster, and little man. They must think I'm the cutest boy ever. I have so much energy and I love playing with their stuff...my toys are ok too, but I'd rather have an empty paper towel roll, or food! I love food! If I see or smell peanut butter, I get sooo excited. They give me a lot of treats here so they must like me. I also get to spend a lot of time napping beside them on the couch. I've even claimed my own spot! If you sit down cross-legged, I will climb into your lap and nuzzle you! I hope you'll let me claim a spot on your couch (or lap!) too. It's so much comfier than when I slept at the shelter where the people found me! I'm glad to be outta there. I'm glad there are teenage girls here too because they really like me, and I think they're pretty great because they play with me a lot and let me snuggle in their beds. They say things like "look at that sweet little face", and they think it's really cute when I curl up in a ball to sleep. They like my floppy ears too and laugh when I get one flipped inside out. The other dog that lives here is a grumpy little old lady and she is the only one who doesn't think I'm great. I try so hard to play with her but for some reason she doesn't like me. My foster mom says it probably because I play too rough. I like to shred things like cardboard boxes, (like the ones from Amazon); also paper towels, Kleenex, paper, etc. and I'm a trashcan raider and will shred what I can get. But this is probably because I am still a puppy-maybe you can help me do better!I really wish I had a friend like me to play with because I get really energetic after my naps and I'm ready to go! I love people and older children and really want to meet someone I can play with! I'd love to meet them (at your house?). And you!Gus is part of our Home to Home Program.

Story
Hi! I am Freeda. I started my life living on a farm. All I had was a crate on the porch with a tarp covering it. I would always share my food with a chicken in the yard. My owner decided he didn't want me anymore and I was rescued by my new foster family.I didn't know how to do much since I had never lived in a house. Now I know how to get on a couch and bed. I'm not scared of being on a leash much anymore...except when I have to go to the Dr., then I don't want to budge! I can always tell how my people are feeling, and when they are down, I stare deep into their eyes so they know how much I love them. I love to snuggle up right beside you on the couch and the bed.Life was great for a year or so with Mom and Dad, but I don't really like other pets in the house, so my living situation became a problem. I really only want to be an only dog. I am used to cats and we are fine together. I haven't been around any children yet.I do have a bad habit of digging. Mom and dad have a fence in their backyard, and I have tried to get out before-they had to reinforce around the bottom to help keep me inside and safe.Do you have room in your heart and home for this sweet girl? Help us to make the rest her life better than her beginning!Freeda is part of our Home to Home Program.
