Bobby, Shih Tzu
Bobby is a male Shih Tzu dog staying at Toy Breed Rescue.
Bobby is happy to keep company with kids, cats or dogs. Bobby is neutered and vaccinated. He's already house-trained. Bobby is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Bobby's current caretakers say:
Bobby is an adorable 7-year-old looking for a new home. This little guy was neglected in his previous home, which led to the loss of his eyesight. He is a very gentle soul that loves to snuggle and wants nothing more than to please. He’s extremely tolerant of other dogs, even when they are being too rambunctious. This little guy just needs a couple of days to figure out the lay of the land and he does just fine.

Loki, American Staffordshire terrier and Labrador retriever mix
Loki is a darling male American Staffordshire terrier and Labrador retriever mix staying at One Planet Rescue.
Loki is a social butterfly, and he's happy to keep company with children, dogs or cats. He is vaccinated and neutered. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.
From Loki's current caretaker:
Sweet, sensitive, energetic, and completely love-focused, Loki is estimated to be a 6 years old. Poor Loki sat in the shelter waiting for an angel to see past his skin condition and he has been healing in his foster home, steadily gaining weight, and adjusting splendidly to domestic life. His favorite pastime is resting his chin on your arm or leg and looking lovingly into your eyes. To Loki, nothing is better than being with his humans, and he absolutely craves attention and affection.

Stark, German shepherd mix
Stark is a male German shepherd mix being cared for at Jakes Wish Dog Rescue.
Stark loves other dogs. He is looking for cat-free household. He is already vaccinated and neutered. He's already house-trained.
Here's what Stark's friends at Jakes Wish Dog Rescue think of him:
Stark is just over a year old and is quite the love bug! Stark lives with other dogs and is playful, so at 70 pounds he would do best with a dog his size or one that likes to play rough and tumble. Stark would make an amazing hiking, camping and just all around great companion to an active family. Stark is crate trained and is doing great with his potty training too!

Wombat, chihuahua mix
Wombat is a charming male chihuahua mix currently residing at Nike Animal Rescue Foundation (NARF).
Wombat will get along great with your other dogs. Nike Animal Rescue Foundation (NARF), however, thinks he will do best in a home without small children. No need to worry: He is already house-trained. He has all of his shots.
Notes from Wombat's caretakers:
Wombat is a very sweet, mellow guy who would be good fit for a calm adult household. He is somewhat head shy and uneasy about being picked up but he craves attention and will eventually relax with his person. He is very laid back but does like to take a walk and explore. He is great with other dogs and will be a nice addition to any home.
