Chewy, she's a beauty!

2 year old Chewy came from OH when her owner had to give her up because she was fighting with her female fur sibling and the owner was fearful of the outcome.  Chewy was scared when she first came to us but once she knew us, she opened and is very friendly.  She loves the male foster dog in the foster home and even plays with him.  She really enjoys the fenced in yard and due to her young age and her love of the outdoors, we want her to have that fenced yard so she and her foster brother can play and run.

Chewy loves lap time and will beg to get in your lap if you are sitting at your computer or watching TV or just having quiet time.

Because she is a couple pounds overweight, we want someone who will commit to keeping her at her idea weight which we believe should be around 12 pounds, no more than that.

Our must haves for Chewy are:

• Fenced in yard
• Another small young dog, male or submissive female
• We also think she could be an only dog as long as you work from home or newly active retired person(s)
• Someone who can be home more than not
• No apartments, high rises or condos as she likes to bark when someone comes in the door

If you meet our requirements and wish to adopt Chewy, please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application. We do help with transports.  Out of state adoptions east of the Mississippi River are welcome.

Please see more information and photos of Chewy by visiting her pet page, here!

Frankie is a wonderful little boy!

Frankie came to rescue with another dog when his owners were moving and could not take them. Frankie can be shy and nervous at first, but will warm right up to you.  He is a wonderful little boy with a great love for his humans.  He loves to be close to his human and is a master at giving kisses.  As much as he loves affection, he also loves to play with his fellow fur friends. At 2 (or 3) years old, after a round of playing and running about, it's time for a nap next to his human.  He loves attention and wants to be the first to get it.  He is learning to take turns.  He gets along well with both male and female small dogs and cats are ok.

She's so cute it's SCARY!! Luna is ready to go Trick or Treating. Are you ready to take her? Although she is special needs, she does great with spine walking! This girl sooo deserves a forever home, please consider her.

Update: Luna is doing very, very well.  She is almost finished with her physical therapy and will soon be going to her permanent foster home where she will remain until she finds her forever home.  Luna is a happy little girl.  She will always “wobble walk” (check out her video) but she is doing very, very well.

Original Bio: Luna came from a breeder in North Carolina when she went down in the back. We took her immediately to our specialty vet clinic, and they determined that she was not a candidate for surgery. So, we had to put her through physical therapy to teach her to spine walk. Spinal walking (SW) occurs when a paralyzed dog with no pain sensation or feeling in their legs learns to walk and stand through reflex. Luna is doing very well and is also getting laser therapy and Acupuncture. She will never walk normally, but she has learned to walk instead of dragging her back legs. She would only need a diaper on at night and take out 3-4 times during the day. Luna is a very determined little lady, and she deserves a home where they appreciate her willingness to keep working to strengthen her legs.

Our must-haves for precious Luna include:

• A fenced yard to get out and continue to strengthen her back legs. She is FAST.
• Someone who is home more often than not
• Someone with IVDD experience
• Another small young dog for her to hang with
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos 

Please don’t just look at her coloring and want her for beauty! Because of her back issue, the adopter will need to have the experience of having a downed dog and know how to express a bladder. If you do not have this experience, then please do not apply. If you have the experience and would like more information before applying for her, you can email her foster mom at aadrpresident@gmail.com, and she’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.
