Buster, poodle mix
Buster is a handsome male poodle mix being cared for at Saving Hope Animal Rescue Fund.

A bit more on Buster:
Buster is about eight years old, and hasn't met a person or animal he doesn't love! In fact, he loves people so much, he would love if his family let him sleep in the bed with them! While he doesn't play with toys, he will gladly accept any treats you offer him. Buster does have some medical items to note, but they are all very manageable, and we would be happy to explain them to his family. However, none of this affects this sweet boy's personality and love for the world!

Layla, Labrador retriever
Layla is a winsome female Labrador retriever dog staying at Saving Hope Animal Rescue Fund.
Layla gets along swimmingly with other dogs, children and chickens. Don't worry: She is already spayed, house-trained and vaccinated.
Notes from Layla's caretakers:
Layla is a gentle girl that, despite a hurtful past, wants to love humans. She's eager to please and super smart! She learned to sit and shake in one short session. Due to her previous life, she is timid and will require someone who understands how to nurture her and earn her trust. She does have separation anxiety when you're gone, but if she has a t-shirt that smells like her people, she'll snuggle it and feel much better. Speaking of snuggling, Layla was born to snuggle! She is the best cuddle-buddy you could ask for, because she's the perfect size. Layla will make a wonderful family dog!
