Friends in need of homes

SHOHOLA — Liza is one of three golden retrievers now at the shelter. This sweetheart, believed to be about five years old, arrived as a stray, but is ready now to deliver golden love to a new family who would enjoy her friendly and affectionate nature. As she gets along with other dogs and shelter visitors, she should warm up quickly to her new family, to demonstrate the playful personality goldens are know for. Come give her a hug and see. Patches has patches of black and white that give this super sweet five-year-old petite mini-poodle her name. Although shy at first, she takes quickly to visitors who treat her gently. She loves to be held and cuddled and requires a family who will respect her petite and fragile size. She’s been spayed and has all her shots, so there’s nothing keeping her from going to her forever home except someone seeing her in person -- and feeling the love. Three-month-old Orange is an active cutie with a super sweet face very demonstrative of her friendly affectionate disposition. Take this little girl home and enjoy a loving playmate that gets along with other cats and basically ignores any dogs that have come her way. Rachel is gentle and sweet. This five-year-old standard poodle, taken from an abusive breeder, is ready to have a people family she can trust and love. Very affectionate with kids and adults alike and friendly toward other dogs, she seems very receptive to becoming an involved playmate and loving companion. After years of breeding, she deserves a home where she can retire to being simply a devoted family member that delivers generous proportions of love. Bella is a good-lookin’ 14-month-old brown, black and white boxer pup, Bella is a sweetheart who was taken from a boxer rescue, who rescued her from an abusive breeder who had her debarked. And now she deserves a better life, in a loving home where her sweet and friendly disposition can blossom into the affectionate companion and playful pet she wants to be. She gets along with everyone who comes her way, including other dogs-- but she does not get along with cats. Her perfect home would be a playful environment where she could romp and run with an attentive family and some good old-fashioned love.
