🐾🐾🐾 FOSTER OR FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED🐾🐾🐾

Carmelo is currently in boarding and would love to be in a foster home or, even better, his forever home! Can you temp foster him for a week or two to give him a break from boarding?

Meet Carmelo!

Carmelo is a Shepherd mix with the sweetest, most gentle soul. He is 1 year old and about 45 #. This loving boy is a little on the shy side at first, but with kindness and patience, he quickly warms up and shows just how affectionate and loyal he can be.

He would love to be your one and only pup! he does best when he does not share a home with other dogs. Carmelo is already potty trained but isn’t used to going potty on a leash so a fenced yard is best for him.

Carmelo walks well on a leash but is still getting used to some of the noises of suburbia.

He’ll thrive in a calm, patient, and loving home where he can continue to grow and feel secure. With his gentle heart and loving nature, Carmelo will make a truly special addition to any family ready to give him the love and reassurance he deserves.

‼️‼️🐾🐾FOSTER NEEDED ASAP🐾🐾‼️‼️

Stormy is 1-2 years old and just 33 #. She just arrived on Saturday and she is in need of a better suited foster home. She has high prey drive and would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. She sleeps through the night in her crate and is very affectionate. She is very smart and already learned sit. She loves her toys and to play. She is very agile and would do best with a 5’ fence or being leashed for outside time.

Patty’s hero is out there.

Do you know of a great pet lover who loves to watch movies and is in need of canine companionship? Affectionate and low maintenance pup Patty is seeking a forever home. Patty is wagging her tail 24/7, she is always in a good mood and will for sure make you smile and laugh when you are together. When she is very excited, she will do what we call, “The Patty Dance”. (You will just fall over in awe when you watch her do this) Princess Patty does not require much exercise, yes, she is a little on the piggy side, but don’t judge her! She has arthritis in her hips and knees so too much running around makes her tired and sore. Miss Patty prefers to be the only pet in the house.
