Ivory is a female poodle dog being cared for at Homeward Bound Dog Rescue.

Ivory is microchipped, spayed and vaccinated. She's already house-trained. But she is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Notes from Ivory's caretakers:

This sweet little poodle is 10 years old and full of love and playfulness. She was once loved by her elderly owner, but the owner became ill and unable to care for her properly. She has low vision, so she tunes in on your voice, cocking her head back and forth hoping you are talking to her. She does great with other dogs but likes people most of all. All she wants is to be loved in her golden years.

Huey is a male Labrador retriever and Great Pyrenees mix being cared for at The TRAPRS - Trapping, Rescue, and Pet Recovery Service.

Huey is a social animal, and he gets along well with other dogs. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he is neutered. He's already house-trained.

Huey's current caretakers say:

We're happy this big, lovable baby was finally rescued! Huey's previous owner, a ranch hand, left him behind. For months, he endured harsh weather and wandered alone. He enjoys napping on the couch or outside in the sun and hanging out with other dogs. All he needs is love and a lifetime supply of dog chow to be happy. When you walk through the door, he'll give you the biggest butt wiggles you have ever seen. What more could you ask for in a best friend?

Pumba gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids. He has been vaccinated and neutered. No need to worry: He's already house-trained.

Pumba's current caretakers say:

Pumba’s the name. I’m five years old, and I look like a giant cuddly pug. Cuddling is one of my favorite things to do, as I love people. We could snuggle all day long if you want! If you need a break, I’ll be fine hanging out on my doggie bed. I also do great when left alone though, so there’s no need to crate me. If you want a gentle soul and best friend, I'm your guy.
