ADOPTED! Miriam
ADOPTED!! We’d love for you to meet Miriam! Traveling all the way from a kill shelter in Georgia to safety in her new foster home in North Carolina, Miriam is an absolute sweetheart! Weighing in at only 8 1/2 pounds, she is the coziest little lap dog in the house! Her foster home has two other Rat Terriers, a Golden Retriever, three children and two adult parents. Miriam is very shy and is still getting accustomed to a busy household, but is coming along great! She is very cautious when meeting new people at first, but warms up when she realizes she’s okay. Miriam plays very gently with a tennis ball and is learning to walk on a leash. She is house trained and very well behaved. Miriam is great with other friendly dogs and children who play gently. Miriam is about 11 months old. She sleeps through the night and prefers to be right in the middle of her foster parent’s kings size bed with the other Rat Terriers. Miriam would be most happy in a home that provides lots of love, patience and plenty of human time.

ADOPTED!! Jase
ADOPTED!! Jase is a very lucky puppy, considering how different his fate would have been, had not the letter carrier seen the black plastic trash bag thrashing around shortly after Christmas. Thankfully, the postal worker investigated to see what was inside. Out popped Jase with his tail wagging. Jase was thrown away like garbage by the side of the road, and we can only guess what kind of person would do that to a 3-month old puppy. Jase is a wonderful, playful puppy, who is about 3 months old and weighs just 5 pounds. We are fairly sure he is about 1/4 Doxie. He was obviously loved very much by someone, perhaps by a child who carried him around and slept with him, because that’s where he wants to be – in your lap! Jase loves to retrieve a half-size tennis ball, and brings it back every time! He has learned the doggie door and loves to run and play with the big dogs! He is doing extremely well with his housetraining, and will use a piddle pad if he has to relieve himself in the middle of the night. Jase is very friendly and loving, and would be a wonderful child’s pet, or a loving addition to just about any family situation. He does not like to be in a crate, and he insists on cuddling with his person at night. (But he is a very good boy and doesn’t snore or take up much space!) This pup has not lost his love of humankind, despite being tossed out with the trash. We want to find Jase a wonderful home, where he can be doted upon, spoiled, and bring much happiness into some deserving family’s life!

Adopted!! Waldo
ADOPTED!! Where’s Waldo? Waldo is in Arkansas, waiting for his new home. He was rescued from a small rural shelter in Bradley County, Arkansas, and his time was running very short. He was first on the “list.” That would have been a shame, because this is a wonderful dog! Waldo is estimated to be 4 or 5 years old, and weighs approximately 15 pounds. He has the “calico” coloring, or Irish-marked coloring, and is a handsome boy! He has beautiful eyes and a wonderful personality. Waldo is crate trained, and is very smart. He learned the doggie door in his foster home on the first day, and is doing very well with his housetraining. He is playful and affectionate, but not overly active. Waldo would be a wonderful dog for a family with kids, or just about any other family situation. He walks well on a leash, and loves to ride in the car (although he likes to sit in your lap). And he enjoys an occasional rat run with the other dogs in his foster home, especially playing “keep away” with a toy! We are still getting to know this sweet boy, but so far have seen absolutely no behavioral problems. He doesn’t seem to mind cold weather or rain, and will relieve himself outside even when it’s raining. He is just happy to be alive, and follows his foster mom or foster dad everywhere. If you are looking for a well-mannered new addition to your family, please consider Waldo! For more photos of him, please check his photo album: And be sure and watch him in action in the video below!
ADOPTED! Comet
ADOPTED!! Comet came from California, where he and his sister, Cupid, were abandoned in a shelter parking lot in the middle of the night. Our Facebook family worked hard to raise funds to send these two cute pups to an open foster home. Their time was up, so the rescue happened in the nick of time. Comet has cute little white toes and a white spot on his chest. He has tipped ears, and is very outgoing and friendly to everyone. Comet is between 3 and 4 months old, and weighs 6 pounds. He will be small when fully grown, so he would do well as an apartment dog, but he would probably love a backyard to run in. He is loving and sweet, and can climb baby gates! He is also a toy hoarder, and will fill up his crate with every toy he sees. Comet is a very handsome little guy who would love to have a family of his own. For more photos of Comet in his foster home, check here for updates. You can also see him and his sister in the video below:
ADOPTED! Cupid
Adopted !Nelly Belle – Congrats to the LaChance Family!
Adopted! Nelly is a sweet young girl that is looking for some fun in her life. She is a year or less and weighs 14 pounds. She is crate trained and does well in the car. She is good on the leash but would do best with a harness, because she does pull at times to hurry you up. After all, there are lots of fun things to see and smell! She would love to have a fenced yard or a doggie park she could go to, so she can do her rattie runs. Nelly is housebroken! She is a bit shy for the first minute or two she meets you, but once you sit down she is all over you with kisses. We feel this will get better as she learns to trust again after her shelter experience. She does not have a mean or aggressive bone in her body. We have not tested her with young kids, but will do so and update her bio. Nelly Belle is a happy, happy girl that wants to play and return lots of love. She is even good with cats! She just sniffs them and walks away. She loves other dogs and wants to play with them. She was found as a stray, but wants to find a home where she can live forever with her new family.

Adopted! Bonnie – Congrats to the Armstrong Family!
Adopted! This little girl is truly a “bonnie lass,” and is being fostered in Wolcott, Conneticut. She is a very sweet girl that came to us because her owner had to move and could not keep her. Bonnie is 4 years old and weighs about 15 pounds. She is such a love muffin! Her main joy in life is to be with her people. She is housebroken, as well as crate trained, and goes in willingly when asked. She will sleep in a crate, but would much prefer to sleep in bed with you. She sleeps through the night burrowed under the covers and doesn’t move. She is great with the other dogs in her foster home and plays well with dogs and people alike. She likes to make noise when she plays, but other then playing she is not much of a barker so could be a very adaptable apartment dog. We would suggest children over 5, but only because likes to jump up on your leg for petting, and she might cause a smaller child to fall down. Her foster mom reports that she does the cutest thing when she wants something; she sits on her hind legs and waves her front paws up and down like she’s begging. It’s enough to make you melt. Bonnie is great on the leash and is loves to ride in the car. Bonnie needs a home will she is get all the love and attention she deserves.

Adopted! Hello, I’m Tika from Topeka…I’m not really from Topeka but I thought it had a certain ring to it. I am a VERY sweet, submissive girl who will cover you with kisses given any chance. I will kiss your nose, I’ll kiss your toes, I’ll kiss your lips, I’ll kiss your fingertips.. I’m a rough and tumble kinda girl when playing but am still very gentle so I would be fine with a smaller four-legged friend. I am between 1 and 2 years old, and I weigh about 14 pounds. Since I am shy and a bit submissive, I would not be happy around small children who would want to grab and pull at me. I am happiest when being scratched, held and loved on. I am about 15″ at the shoulder, small boned and have wired-hair mixed with a smooth coat. I have had only one accident in the house in the months that I’ve been here but if I’m kept on schedule, I have no accidents at all. I go quietly in my crate at night and stay quiet until I am let out in the morning. I love Nylabones and love, love, love to dig. I don’t know anything about cats – I think I could be friends with one but they might scare me if they hissed. I am one extremely sweet girl who needs a home with another two or four legged friend who will play with me and let me cover them with kisses.

ADOPTED!! Mandy
ADOPTED! Mandy is looking for her new home! She is between 1 and 2 years old, and weighs 14 pounds. She has a full tail and wags it constantly. She is a happy, happy girl! She is very sweet and affectionate, and gives lots of rattie kisses. She seems to love everyone she meets. Mandy is very submissive to all the other dogs in her foster home and is super playful. Her best buddy is a 4-month old puppy, and they have a great time running and playing. She would be wonderful as a child’s pet, and would probably be fine with cats, but she hasn’t been tested. Mandy is crate trained and is housebroken with a doggie door. The vacuum cleaner scares her, but otherwise she is friendly and very outgoing. Mandy doesn’t bark much, and wants very badly to please you. She rides well in the car, and walks nicely with a harness and leash. There isn’t one bit of aggression or attitude in this little girl, just a sweet dog who wants very badly to love you and receive love. Do you need a sweet girl in your life? Please consider Mandy!

ADOPTED!! Suzy
CongRATulations to the Gray family!
My name is Suzy and I am 6 years old. My foster mom saw a little something special in my eyes and saved me just in time from a high-kill shelter. I confess, I was a pleasantly plump little girl when I ended up in the shelter but I was placed on a healthy diet and I’ve shed the excess weight. You should see me now – I look and feel great!! I am now a lean 15 pounds and I’m 11 inches tall with beautiful erect ears and a cropped tail. I am a little cautious when meeting new people, and I like to make the first move. It always helps when you have a tasty treat for me, by the way. Once I feel comfortable, I love to get rubbed and scratched and played with, and then rubbed some more. I’m enjoying this big yard and the pool. I really enjoy playing around the pool, and my favorite game is when you throw my rubber ducky into the water and I fish it out. I don’t really like to jump into the water but I do enjoy playing around it. I am great around children, and, oh my, how I love them. I just love running with them, following them on their bikes and having them toss me a toy. I enjoy my foster mom and dad too, because they let me sleep in the room in my own doggie bed and they take me on car rides and on walks in the mountain bike trails. My foster mom says I’m a great little girl who will make a great addition to any home and family. I am completely housebroken and walk great on a leash. I love children and other dogs. I haven’t been cat tested as my foster mom is allergic to them. I am not a yapper, I am very quiet. I do let out a bark or two when I hear someone at the door but I am quick to return to my bed and play with my toys. I promise to be your loving and loyal companion if you give me a chance – you won’t regret it. Come and take a look at my photo:
Tango comes from the Tri-Cities area of Texas, and was rescued along with his housemate, Echo. They had been at the shelter for months, with everyone passing them over. Our vets... [
