Story
APPLY DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE, https://www.karmicrescue.org Sorri is a lovely girl who is well behaved, walks well on leash, would love to go running with you if you are into adventure. She's smart and responds really well and quickly to redirection. Sorri is very social with people, loves them and she can also be a bit timid when meeting new people. We know she does great with people and other dogs; we don't think a home with cats is a good idea. Sorri will do best in an active home, and if you like training, supplying appreciation, she will truly excel in your home.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process    This is Athena. Athena is a little over 4 years old and almost like a fun-sized shepherd mix. She’s had a rough beginning as she was picked up as a stray in Mexico, along with her sister. They came to us extremely scared of everything and have come a long way since being with us. While her sister got adopted shortly after, Athena got left behind still looking for her forever family. She is one of our special girls who needs her forever family to be really patient with her as she learns to get comfortable with you. She is still very shy and we suggest a home with no kids and a female-only household. Athena would benefit best from having an outgoing, friendly dog in the house for her to follow (she used to look to her sister for direction). She loves playing with toys and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet girl who just needs some love and someone with patience, please fill out an application:https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlMay 18, 2025, 9:22 pm

Royal’s heart is as big as her loving spirit—she adores hugs and snuggles from everyone, whether you’re big or small. She’s active and playful when the moment calls for it, enjoying toys and zooming around the dog park. But her calm, easygoing nature makes her the ultimate snuggle buddy when it’s time to relax. Royal’s favorite pastime? Strolling around, meeting new people and pups, and spreading her warm, loving energy wherever she goes. She’s a true lover at heart, and she can’t wait to share all that love with you!

Story
Meet Mosey Fields,  a very special  puppy  who is  just under one year old. Mosey has a neurological condition, most likely Cerebral Hypoplasia, which makes him a special-needs dog. Despite his challenges, Mosey is a joyful and big-hearted pup. We recently put him in a jacuzzi with a swim vest, and he learned a lot about connecting his body with his brain. Initially, Mosey used to squirm on the floor like a reptile, but now  he  walks and romps  around  without a harness. Although he still does well with a harness for stability, he can now walk  by himself  in a large carpeted bedroom area. Mosey has made  great  progress -  he  has learned to track, make eye contact, jump on and off the couch, and loves to cuddle. He has also been playful around other dogs and adores people. This little fighter will benefit from a wheelchair and  will  thrive in a loving home. Consider making him a part of your family, and he will return the love and continue to grow into the best version of himself. If you're interested in adopting Mosey, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Mosey's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. Doggie Bonez will provide you with everything you need, including dog food, a bed, toys, medical attention (if required), and more. So, if you're interested, please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their forever home and complete the foster application.November 2, 2024, 7:31 pm
