"They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but how can you not immediately fall in love with Phoebe’s smooshy face? Phoebe is a 6 year old bull dog mix who weighs about 58 lbs. This girl is pretty low key, and enjoys spending her time on the couch watching the Hallmark Movie Channel. When not watching TV, she does enjoy a good walk outside with her foster mom.

Atom

Age: 3 months old / Breed: Chihuahua / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie's Legacy
"Meet small and mighty Atom! Atom is an approximately 3-month-old Chihuahua mix. He is currently 7 pounds. Atom loves humans but he often needs a few minutes to warm up to them. Although a little fearful when meeting strangers, within 10-15 minutes, he is usually sitting in the new person's lap as happy as can be! Atom is doing well learning potty training! Little Atom is also mastering crate training! He may cry for a few minutes after being crated but it is short-lived. Atom loves to play fetch and tug-of-war-it's a great way to get rid of his moderate level of puppy energy!"

Larkin

Age: 1 year old / Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie's Legacy
"Larkin is a lively grey and white 1 year old kitten. She is spayed and UTD on vaccines and preventatives. She and her littermates have had a bit of a rough start but are healthy and ready for adoption. They will require a specific diet and need to be adopted in pairs. Due to their previous medical concerns they will need to be the only animals in the home. Larkin and her siblings love to play with laser pointers, crinkly toys, and feather toys."

Daisy

Age: 12 years old / Breed: Terrier, Fox, Smooth/Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
"Daisy is a 10-12-year-old Fox Terrier mix. She hasn't had the greatest life. She is morbidly obese with fatty (non-cancerous) tumors removed from her older body. Her former owner decided to dump her miles from home not once, not twice, but three times before deciding to surrender her. Honestly, we still are not sure why. Daisy is AMAZING. REALLY REALLY AMAZING. She is quiet (has never barked one time in two months she's been with us), she looks at you with soulful, loving, thankful eyes. She is on a diet and has already lost 4 pounds, and just wants a warm place, a soft bed, and some food in her belly. She gets along fantastically with other dogs, ignores cats (and pretty much ignores anything else). She is looking for a nice quiet home to keep someone company and just relax quietly."

Oakley

Age: 1.5 years old / Breed: Goldendoodle / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie's Legacy
"HI. I am Oakley the Goldendoodle. I am 1.5 years old, weigh 46lbs and I’m already neutered. Don’t be concerned, I am fully grown and won’t get any bigger. I’m potty trained and crate trained, but I will add I am sometimes stubborn about going in my crate. Being a Doodle, I will need to be groomed on a regular schedule to keep my hair looking pretty. Foster mom says I am a big baby that needs to learn some big-boy manners, and that I could benefit from obedience training. I’m smart though, I already “sit” and “shake” paws on command. Things I Love: my foster humans, getting my belly or ears rubbed, long walks and a big soft bed."

"The “That Arena Rock Show” litter is a group of 9 week old all-male beagle mix puppies weighing 6-8 pounds. Mom is a super sweet 20 pound beagle but we are unsure of the father. They are fostered with other dogs, ranging from 10 to 40 pounds. They are active and take many of their personality traits from their mom (beagle) as they love to follow their noses and like to sing to anyone that will listen."

Buttons

Age: 2.5 years old / Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Save The Animal Foundation
"Buttons needs a loving family prepared to embrace his endearing oddness—from his wobbly walk to his sometimes demanding, duck-like bark. Buttons would love a canine playmate and a fenced yard to romp in. He’s done well with older kids but will do best in a home without little ones. (Wobbly dog + wobbly toddlers are probably not a good match :)"

Asa
Age: 5 years old / Breed: Cane Corso mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie's Legacy
"Asa has a sweet, old soul. She loves to follow her foster mom around the house and play with squeaky toys! She does great in her crate and is working hard on potty training. Asa hardly barks in her foster home and does well with the other dogs who share the same medium-low energy level that she does. Asa doesn't mind to go for a walk or romp in the backyard but prefers to lounge inside and play with her toys. She loves to get attention from any person willing to give out a pet, and will patiently wait for anyone to come by to pet her."

Age: 11 years old / Breed: Beagle/Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
"Amelia is a sweet senior beagle mix looking for a forever home. She is house trained, good with other dogs and kids, and walks wonderfully on a leash. She is not a fan of the crate but doesn't need one. She may be a senior, but she still has a playful side. She will play tug of war with you or will be content to sit on your lap or by your side."

Ariel

Age: Adult / Breed: Tortoiseshell / Sex: Female / Rescue: Save The Animal Foundation
"With amber and gold flecks against a shiny black coat and beautiful gold eyes, Ariel looks like brocade tapestry. And don't you love those two white whiskers?! Abandoned outside STAF, she soon won the admiration of volunteers as one of the smartest cats among the hundreds at the shelter. Ariel has learned how to open doors, and she gleefully takes off running down the hall, so she wouldn't be a good fit for a home with small children. But if you enjoy a gorgeous cat that will play ball with you and keep you on your toes, Ariel is the one for you. Approx. birthdate May 2010."

Valient

Age: 4 Years old / Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie's Legacy
"I was saying to myself just this morning, "Valient," I said, "Valient, you know what you need? You need a person all of your own." So I sat down to write this post for the nice Louie's Legacy people, because apparently that's the kind of thing they do - find nice people for extremely intelligent and lovable kitties who are...I shudder to type this...LAPLESS. That's right: I have no lap to call my own. Could you be persuaded to volunteer yours? I am 8 pounds and 4 years old and would look fabulous in your home!"
