🥰Meet Mavis🥰

Mavis is a 6-year-old angel. She is the apple of her foster mom's eye. 🍎👁❤
She is great with people, kids, dogs, cats, and other animals. She is so so so gentle and LOVES to just be loved on and cuddle. She is a velcro dog, which means she loves to be near you at all times. However, she doesn't cry or whine when you leave her alone. She is truly the perfect baby and she deserves THE BEST home.

Make sure you have a current foster application submitted to our website:(https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TUSC/Dog) and call/email to schedule an appointment. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone!! Meet our precious boy Lotus. He's been in a wonderful foster home and this is what his foster parent has to say about him:

"Let me introduce you to Rocky (his government name is Lotus) our newest foster pup!

Rocky is a 4 month old, mixed breed puppy who is going to be your new best friend! This handsome gentlemen just loves people. He’s been coming to work with me where he gets to hangout with college students all day. And they adore him!

At home, he hangs out with 3 other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them. He plays all day with them, loves to chew on bones, and play with little toys. He keeps a clean kennel and is crate trained. We’re also currently working on potty training and he’s picking it up quickly! He knows how to sit and loves car rides too.

He’s a giant snuggle bug at night and loves to sit next to you and make little grumble noises in his sleep. It’s adorable ☺️.

Rocky would be the perfect addition to your household and is so ready to find his furever home. If you are interested in adopting reach out to metro and ask for Lotus!"

Let's help this sweet pup find his furever home!!

Hello!!! My name is Dixi and I'm only 2 years old! I love to snuggle and sit nicely for treats. I get to meet so many new people here at the shelter, and they all say I'm a very good girl, but I want to find a warm home to call my own! I've had some rough stuff happen in my life, but I don't let it get me down. Won't you come by and say hi? We could become best friends! 💕

(Dixi is available for both foster and adoption 😊)
