Story
Here is a dog you won’t have to “figure out,” she is practically a cliche version of good dog. Easy company, fun-loving, adventure ready, and the perfect amount of personality to keep things light hearted and fun. She settles in, reads the room, and melts into the rhythm without asking for much in return. Go watch Lola the Low-Key Adventure Buddy on YouTube, then come back and picture what life with her would actually feel like… because she’s great in a highlight reel but she is aiming for real-life everyday ease. https://youtu.be/4Z7sIlz_OcA Lola is about 3 years old, 47 lbs, and likely a kelpie/cattle dog mix- rescue rules in full effect, of course- no guarantees on breed or birthday. She’s currently living in a foster home where things are calm, steady, and shared… with a 12-year-old boy and even a cat she free roams with. No micromanaging, no constant supervision, her foster says she just understands how to be a house dog. Her foster describes her as “incredibly easy,” and it shows in all the ways that matter. Lola moves comfortably between activity and rest… happy to join you for a walk, a dog park outing, or a little backyard squirrel surveillance, then just as content to come inside and settle near her people. She doesn’t need constant entertainment or create chaos when things slow down. She’s affectionate without being over the top, present without being demanding… the kind of dog who lays nearby while you go about your day, checking in quietly without a fuss. With other dogs, she leans toward coexistence over play. She can share space easily, especially with a calm dogs who are not looking to wrestle or push boundaries. She’s clear about her space when she needs to be, and then goes right back to minding her business. It’s honest, appropriate communication… fair and effective. Lola feels like the kind of dog who fits into real life. School mornings, work days, evenings on the couch, weekend outings. Nothing complicated, nothing overwhelming… just a good dog who knows how to be part of a home. If that sounds like your kind of pace, Lola is ready and waiting for her best adventure yet! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69eb842a1757f7a7bf01ade8 Questions?

Story
adoption donation : $499 weight 32 lbs Age 1 year Ginger is a beautiful, super friendly girl who loves everyone she meets, her tail never stops wagging! This loving girl was found in Puerto Rico sitting under a coconut tree on a beach known to be a place where people dump dogs. A kindly couple saw her there and assumed she was waiting for her owners but three days later she was still in the same spot, hungry, and trembling. The couple took her in and discovered she was the sweetest dog ever! They had her spayed and vaccinated and on February 6 this lucky girl arrived to her new foster home in the northeast, ready for a loving family of her own. Ginger doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body, she is all kisses, wiggles and wags! She loves other dogs and is gentle with children. Ginger is medium energy and loves to run around outside but when she’s home she likes to curl up with her toys or a bone or try to snuggle on her foster parents laps! Ginger is completely housebroken and fully grown at 32 pounds. She will make some lucky family a wonderful new addition. Wags of Monroe county is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Adoption fee includes the transport, vaccines, microchip and spay. For more information on adopting any of our Wags dogs please email mariaeftimiades@yahoo.com

Story
✨ Meet Snow White ✨ Once upon a time, Snow White was the devoted mom to seven adorable “dwarves.” After the whole family was rescued from being dumped on the side of the road, Snow lovingly raised her babies—and now that all of them have found homes, it’s finally Snow’s turn to shine! Snow White is a sweet, affectionate girl who truly enjoys human companionship. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her playful personality blossoms. When she gets excited, she’ll do joyful zoomies around the yard, ears flopping in the most endearing way—it’s impossible not to smile. She’s a fairly neat and well-mannered gal who does well in a kennel, so we think she’ll transition nicely into a home of her own. Snow loves attention, toys, and snacks, and she thrives with people who want to include her in their daily lives. An active home is a must—Snow is no couch potato and would love a family who enjoys playtime and outdoor fun. Snow would do best as the only pet in the home, as other dogs or cats can be a bit too stimulating for her. She’s happiest when she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion with a heart as big as her story, Snow White might just be your happily-ever-after. 💙 Snow White is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
