Meow! My pawsome friend "Miss Sherry" from Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P) brought by a sweet tiny friend for you to meet. Pawingly, he is not available for adoption yet but is looking for a foster parent. The foster parent will assist with his care until he is ready to be adopted. Purrs!

Meet Peanut! HISS!He was found as a stray along with his two siblings and mom! Sadly, because they were so young, one of the kittens passed away. Not too long after, it's believed that Momma cat attacked Peanut and his remaining brother, who later passed from his injuries.

HISS! HISS! Paws, Peanut sustained a wound which quickly turned into a nasty abscess.  He was taken the Animal ER where they had to lance and drain his wound.  Purringly, Peanut is recovering nicely but he's still underweight. 

Paws, Peanut is the sweetest, most lovable kitten! MEOW! MEOWS! He loves being held, getting tummy rubs and is totally comfortable draped over a forearm or napping in his human's lap!.

Peanut is too young for adoption but he is looking for a foster (and perhaps a foster fail) family or companion to spend time with until he's old enough to be neutered. 

If you'd like to foster Peanut, send A3P a message at a3padvocates@gmail.com.

Captain came from a litter with Jax and Red which the previous owner had kept until they realized they could not take care of them! WOOF! Paws, Captain doesn't need to go home with one of his litter buddies but does need a home with another dog since he's always had a canine buddy!

WOOF! WOOF! Barkingly grand for you to stop by on this Friday! Happy Friday to you!

Meet my new friend Tango from Operation Paws for Homes! He is around 14-weeks-old and a male Terrier mix! He is looking for humans who will tango with him for the rest of his life! WOOF! BARK!

Creative: Allen Pearson

Tango likes to have about 15 minutes of zoomies every day then he's ready to cuddle!

Tango is a smart guy. He is crate- and house-trained. He has started learning how to "sit," "stay," and "lay down!" He wants his new humans to help him to learn more!

He gets along great with other dogs in his foster home and respects those who don't want to play!

Barkingly, he has two mini-humans who visit him on the weekends and enjoys loving on them! They play with him and give him pawlenty of kisses! WOOF! Paws, he is good at making them laugh too.

Arf, his foster mom says Tango brings a smile to her face- even on the worst days!

Barks, he isn't much of a barker at this paw in life even when his foster siblings are chatting with the mailman or a neighbor.

Due to Tango's small size and young age, Operation Paws for Homes recommends he goes to a home with children which are respectful of his size and age. With his age, he will require an adopter who is not out of the home for more than 4 hours at one time to continue his training - no exceptions! Tango is up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and will need to be altered at the appropriate age per the spay/neuter agreement you will be signing at the time of adoption.

Woof! If you would like to learn more about dog adoption, pawlease visit the Operation Paws for Homes Adoption Guide.

Barkingly, if you would like to meet or apply to adopt Tango, pawlease complete the Operation Paws for Homes Dog Adoption Application.

Unable to adopt? WOOF! How about supporting Tango financially? Donations will assist with his care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other dogs care at Operation Paws for Homes. Interested, please donate HERE!

WOOF! BARKS! Meet my new friend Coolio from Operation Paws for Homes! This little fella is one cool dude! He is around 6-years-old and a pocket-size Pomeranian mix!

Coolio is a puppy mill survivor so he is VERY shy! Barks, he has never lived in a house before but is loving it. He is working on learning to live in a house and be a pawsome "house dog" but it is a slow process. Wanna see how he's doing, watch this video! Barks.

Coolio is not house-trained but he's learning how to potty outside. He is crate-trained and seems to find it to be his safe place! He enjoys eating his meals in there too!

WOOF! He is learning to walk on a leash hooked to his collar. In the yard, he loves running around but it seems to be a new experience for him.

Barks, steps seem to be a challenge for Coolio as he's probably never seen them before.

Photo: Operation Paws for Homes
Creative: Allen Pearson

Coolio is easily startled by loud noises or sudden moves and tries to get away quickly!

Barks, Coolio would pawssibly do best living with a confident dog who could help him see that the world isn't so scary!

Barkingly, Coolio knows his name and comes when called but will not get very close. He enjoys being talked to and likes to make eye contact with his human. He likes being held and having attention paid to him!

Coolio doesn't play with toys or chew chewy toys as he's probably never been allowed to have them before! He loves getting treats and seems to be food-motivated.

WOOF! Coolio would love a family where his humans are home most of the day. Though he feels safe and happy in his crate, he likes having people to chat with!

He needs a family who will be patient with him as he does not understand anything about being a dog!

This sweet fella was a puppy mill dog and used for breeding Pomeranians.  He has paid the price emotionally. He is not a purse/dog stroller type of dog but is working on it! He has lots of love to give but needs patience and lovin's as he learns about life beyond the life the crate!

Barks, if you would like to learn about dog adoption, pawlease visit Operation Paws for Homes Adoption Guide!
