Shiloh, dachshund mix
Shiloh is a sweet female dachshund mix currently residing at Needy Paws Rescue.
Shiloh is a social animal, and she gets along well with other dogs. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. Shiloh is spayed and vaccinated.
Notes from Shiloh's caretakers:
Shiloh came to us after being found dumped at a local pet store. She is very sweet, affectionate, dog-friendly and kid-friendly and would love to have a family of her very own. Shiloh would be happiest with another young playful dog for companionship and a secure fenced yard to run and play in.

Rory, Shih Tzu mix
Rory is a charming male Shih Tzu mix being cared for at Needy Paws Rescue.
Rory will get along great with other dogs. He is neutered, and he has all his shots. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.
Notes from Rory's caretakers:
Rory had a dry eye issue for many years and no one took care of it, which resulted in damage to the pigment in his eyes. He is considered blind, and his vet gave him special eye drops that may help to ease the damage to his eyes. Besides being blind, he is also deaf, but this does not keep him from enjoying life.

Bear, beagle
Bear is a handsome male beagle dog being kept at All New Hope Animal Rescue.
Bear gets along well with other dogs. No need to worry: He is already house-trained. He is already vaccinated and neutered. Bear is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Notes from Bear's caretakers:
Unfortunately, I have a condition called vestibular disease that causes my head to tilt. It wasn't treated for a while, so it is taking longer to resolve even with medications. In fact, it could be a habit now, and I may never stop tilting it. It really makes me a little more adorable than I already am (if that is possible). I am so, so wanting to find my forever home. I can live without my 11- year-old momma or would love it if someone could adopt both of us.
