Willow

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Chihuahua/Wire Haired Terrier Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART)
"This little lady is scared upon first meeting new people and will take a day or so to warm up. Once she feels safe, she's the perfect cuddle buddy and would prefer to sleep in her human's bed at night. Willow gets along well with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats at all."

BooBoo

Age: 12 years old / Breed: Chihuahua mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned)
"Hi, my name is BooBoo. I was well-loved by my mother but then she passed away. Luckily Halo was able to rescue me and my bother Yogi. I am a chihuahua mix and while I may be 12 years young, I have lots of love left to give. I am a little shy at the beginning but when I realize you are going to love me, I truly warm up. I am crate trained but would rather be out to cuddle on the couch or be with you."

Wednesday Adams

Age: 2 years old / Breed: Rabbit / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue
"If you've been looking for a bunny companion, look no further than Wednesday Adams. At 2 years old, her previous family could no longer take care of her, so she ended up in rescue. Named so because of her beautiful gothic black and white markings, Wednesday loves to spend her day exploring her environment, snacking on hay, and then waiting for her nightly salad servings."

Theo

Age: 1 years old / Breed: Mixed / Sex: Male / Rescue: HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned)
"His foster mom named him Theo, meaning divine gift in Greek as there seemed to be no other fitting name for him. Theo is a dog who has been through much in his short 13 mo of life and has remained loving, trusting, and open to people and dogs. Everyone Theo meets is forever changed by his presence. He loves to cuddle with his foster mom by being the “little spoon” and sleeping with his nose in her neck. Theo has the potential of being a pet-assisted therapy dog, or even something more for the right human. He is good with kids and other dogs, but a little too interested in cats."

Pete

Age: 11 years old / Breed: Unknown / Sex: Male / Rescue: HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned)
"Hi, My name is Peter Pan, but my closest of friends call me Pete. I am 11 years young, I use to live with a family that had kids, but they moved and unfortunately couldn’t take me with them. Cuddling and snuggling are my favorite things to do and I love treats. When my foster mom takes me for rides in the car, I’m not a big fan, so I talk a lot and she tells me not to back seat drive."

Cookie

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Pomeranian/Chow Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Furgotten Dog Rescue
"Cookie here! I am finally ready for adoption now that all of my medical issues are taken care of. I have chronic bronchitis, but I have not coughed or needed my medicine in months! I am dog, cat, and kid-friendly. I am allowed to wrestle and play, but I cannot do any vigorous exercise like running because of the damage done from the heartworm disease. I love a short walk, but I cannot be a jogging buddy. I love to be near you and enjoy pets and cuddles, but I am also pretty independent. Yes, I am as sweet as I look :)."

Age: 1 year old / Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: HART Animal Rescue
"Remus has tons of personality, and is a goofy young 1.5 year old, 48 pound, Shepherd mix who was rescued from a high intake shelter in West Virginia. I mean just look at the grin on his face! Remus is a fantastic dog and gets along great with other dogs, cats, and kids."

Reba

Not only is Reba a 100% sweetheart, but she is also great with dogs and kids. She has not been tested with cats. Reba loves going for walks. She walks well on a leash. Reba is crate trained but she is noisy in her crate. She is not for an apartment dweller. Reba came from a rural shelter in North Carolina."

Lucy

Age: 8 years old / Breed: Unknown / Sex: Female / Rescue: Furgotten Dog Rescue
"Lucy ended up in rescue after her owner of 8 years unexpectedly passed away. He had Lucy since she was a puppy. Lucy is 8-years-old and weighs 40#. Her breed is unknown. Your guess is as good as ours. Lucy has not been socialized with many people so she barks at people she does not know. She has already made significant improvements in her foster home. Strangers can now pet her, but whoever adopts her will need to continue to work with, and socialize her. Lucy LOVES to go for walks. If she’s not walking, you can find her laying around being a couch potato that she is."

Phoebe Champagne

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Boston Terrier Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Haven
"Phoebe is a foster favorite. She is about 3 years old and is a Boston terrier mix. She loves her family and is sweet and calm. She does well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but when she initially meets a new dog she can be very opinionated. We feel that it is important that she doesn't go to a home with an alpha dog because it could start things off on the wrong paw. Phoebe is crate trained and doing good on her potty training skills, but a new environment will sometimes set those skills back."

Suzie

Age: 10 years old / Breed: Beagle Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Furgotten Dog Rescue
"Suzie is a couch potato and guard dog all in one. She has a very sweet and laid back personality but still has enough spunk in her to play in small spurts with her foster dog siblings. Suzie would not do well in a home with children. She is more of a “love one person only” kind of gal."

Pierce

Age: Adult / Breed: Lab Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue
"Pierce is gorgeous and loving. He’s very much a puppy still who is so happy to see his people that he can’t contain himself. When met with a spray bottle, he will not jump. He will most likely need a few days to settle in then he will become a very loyal buddy that’s easy to read and train. If he is chosen by a family who is considerate of his quirks and patiently thinks through their responses, he will be a treasured family member in no time."

Radar

Age: 2 1/2 years old / Breed: Staffordshire Terrier / Sex: Male / Rescue: HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned)
"I’m medium energy - I love to take naps on the couch but I also like to take walks. I love to chew on my toys and balls and I’m obsessed with tennis balls. To be honest, I would do best with no other dogs in the home - I am selective – I like the ladies!"

Grainger

Age: Adult / Breed: Unknown / Sex: Male / Rescue: Joseph's Legacy
"Hello, my name is Grainger and I am looking for my forever home. I would be a good companion as I like laying on laps. I do want to be the king of the castle so I would prefer a home without any other cats (I will probably beat them up.) I don't know about dogs."
