Jersey is still waiting for his forever person. Jersey has been showing us more and more of his personality in foster care, and honestly, he’s a pretty great guy.He’s housebroken, crate trained, dog-friendly and cat-friendly. He loves squeaky toys, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and racing around with his foster siblings, And when playtime is over, he’s perfectly happy curling up for some cuddles and affection.Jersey is also a sensitive boy. He can be cautious with new people and needs someone willing to let him take things at his own pace. Quick movements or reaching for him too quickly can make him nervous, but a calm voice and a little patience go a long way. Jersey isn’t asking for much — just someone who will be patient while he learns to trust, and then love him for the sweet boy he is. He’s been waiting long enough. Could you be Jersey’s person? If you have or had other pets in your home please be prepared to provide proof of regular veterinary care such as vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter. Link to apply is listed in the comments below. ...

If you love puppy snuggles and being greeted with pure joy, five month old Nina is the one for you! She is the sweetest, silliest spirit and she’s ready to be your best girl. This special girl is a Lab/pit mixHer favorite thing is having a bone to chew - or mostly to steal from her foster brothers. She will take it anywhere you let her, even outside to go potty. If you roll a ball for her, she is happy to chase it. She is excellent with other dogs and loves to play. She is a happy girl and excited to greet visitors. Nina is very food motivated and eager to learn. She is crate trained and understands “all in,” she knows “sit” and “shake,” she’s working on “come,” but “stay” is haaaaard because she’s so excited and happy. Nina is house trained and will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She’s still a puppy and she’s still learning, so she still has accidents if we don’t realize she’s at the door.If you think Nina could be your new best friend please apply using the link in the comments below. She has finished her vetting and can go anywhere. If you have or had other pets in your home please be prepared to provide proof of regular veterinary care such as vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter. You know what to do………SHARE!! ...

Ginny… We’ve posted her. We’ve shared her. And still… nothing.Not a single application. Not even an inquiry.Ginny is estimated to be 2-3 years old and around 40 lbs. she is affectionate, good with kids and other dogs, loves car rides, and does well in her crate. She’s still learning some of the basics, but she’s trying — and she deserves someone willing to teach her with patience and love. She doesn’t need a perfect home. She just needs someone to give her a chance.Ginny has already been through more than any dog should have to. Now she just needs someone to show her what life is supposed to look like. Ginny is looking for her forever home. Please don’t let her keep getting overlooked. Share Ginny. Maybe her person is just one share away. To apply, fill out the application form in the comments below. 🐾 ...
