Available Dogs
Soozee and Beanie
Oh my gosh, where do we begin?  Me (Soozee, the hairless girl, 3 years old) and my
sister Beanie Baby (powder puff girl, 1 year old) are timid with strangers at first—both
people and other dogs.  We’ll growl and bark at first.  However, once we’re used to you,
we are quite hilarious to watch and to be with.  We’ll greet you every morning with such
excitement and big kisses!  Our foster mom says that when Beanie is excited, she can
jump almost as high as she is tall!  We also love wrestling with each other.  We LOVE
chasing squirrels—our only problem is that our flexi-leash lets us chase the squirrels
only a little way.  You should see how fast we can wag our tails when we’ve found a
squirrel hiding in a stone wall—sometimes we even chase the squirrel out of its hiding
place.  The home of our dreams would be someplace where we can run inside an
escape-free fence, but still be able to find and chase squirrels.  We love playing tug-of-
war together, inside the house, with small stuffed toys.  We are best friends, and we
really need to be adopted together.  I am like Beanie’s mom (even though I'm not really),
and will always protect Beanie Baby.  
We’re almost house-trained.  We will ALWAYS go potty on a piddle-pad inside the
house, but most of the time, we go potty outside. Our foster mom says we’re the BEST
little girls and that we just want to hang out with people or wherever the action is—we
want to be part of a forever family where we can cuddle up with you, play with each
other, and make you laugh.

(A special combined adoption fee of $450 for both girls applies)

(Soozee and Beanie are being fostered in Maine and prefer a home with no small
children, please)

               Jake
Hi Everybody!  I'm Jake, and I am a 6 year old Powderpuff boy.  I lost my last
human when she had to move into a nursing home.  I was very sad and
confused.  Where had my home and person gone?  As you can see, I was
pretty *ahem* chubby when I first came into rescue.  I weighed 42 pounds,
and I should only be about 15!  I have lost 10 pounds already.  I love going on
walks with my foster mom and it is doing wonders for my figure.  I am just
an all-around nice guy.  I am very easy-going and really enjoy everything life
has to offer.  I get along well with quiet, small, low-key dogs like me and
hope to have a dog buddy in my new home.  I am curious about cats but
don't chase them or anything.  I am a little shy (I smile when my foster mom
smooches me-that is new for me, and I get a little embarrassed!) and would
like a nice quiet home.  Loud noise and commotion frighten me.  I also would
like my family to be around a lot, as I don't like to be alone, and I would really
like to have a daddy of my own, because I like men a whole lot.  I do have
Cushing's disease, but don't require medication for it.  I would really like to
be someone's little boy again.

Allie
Sassy
Hi, I'm Danny, and I'm a very special boy.  I
was rescued from a hoarder, where I had
spent all 3 years of my life in a cage
outside. Goodness, I was sad and lonely.  I
was such a nice boy, but nobody ever paid
any attention to me and all the other dogs
that were there with me.  When I got
rescued,  I had to go through very scary
heartworm treatment, but I am healthy and
happy and heartworm free now!  I am part
Chinese Crested and part Xolo.  I am a true
cuddle bug and just love affection.  I'm a
little shy at first, but I will adore you as
soon as I get to know you! I also love other
animals, especially cats.  I think they are
really neat! And stuffed squeaky toys make
me so happy!  I never knew life could be
so much fun.  Would you like to share the
next chapter of my life with me?  I will
bring you lots of joy if you adopt me!
(Danny is being fostered in MS)

Pogo
My name is Pogo and I am a handsome powderpuff boy.  I am just
3 years old and had a very happy life until my family went away on
vacation.  They hired a pet sitter to come stay with me and he
traumatized me by doing things like throwing a coat over me and
dragging me around.  When my family came home, they found out
that I was very afraid of everything because of it.  I am very scared
of men now and will snap at them, so I want to go to a home with
just a nice lady or two to love me.  I am very affectionate with my
foster mom, and run as fast I can to see her when I hear her come
home at night.  I am just so happy to see her!  I need someone
who is going to understand that I have fears that will take time to
work through.  I would be OK with another dog of my own size, but
I would be happy to be an only dog, too.  I just want someone to
love me and give me back the security I used to have.  Do you
think you have the kindness and patience to help me be a happy
boy again?  If so, please fill out an application-I can't wait to feel
safe again.

(Pogo is currently being fostered in NJ.  Due to Pogo's fear issues,
he must go to a home with no children, please)

I'm Fonzie, and just like my name, I am a cool little guy.  I had a really rough start in
life.  I spent my entire life in a puppy mill situation.  I was an absolute mess when
they found me. The day I was rescued was the best day of my life, but I had to learn
everything about the wide world outside of those four walls.  You see, I had never
been outside of that place-
ever.  I had never felt grass beneath my feet.  Boy, that
was a surprise!  I had never seen sunshine, or anything else wonderful for that
matter.  Now life is
full of wonder for me.  I am on the shy side, of course, so I take a
little while to warm up to new people.  I will bark a bit upon meeting, but I quiet right
down and am interested in getting to know you.  I am around 3 or 4 years old.  I love
to go for rides in the car, and when it is cool, I just love getting dressed up in nice
little outfits and will come running when I see you holding one.  Who knew?  I like to
take my baths in the kitchen sink, and I love to learn new things.  I am eager to
please.  I love other dogs and cats, too.  Oh, and I work hard as a great bed warmer,
too-I just love to be under the covers.  Now, you would think with all this
wonderfulness going on, I must be just about perfect, right?  My only flaw is that I
have some accidents in the house.  You see, my foster mom works full-time, and
that's a long time for me to wait when I am used to just being in a cage and "going"
whenever (I don't ever want to be in a cage again either!).  I try hard, I really do, and I
feel just terrible when I do have an accident, so I know what I am supposed to do.  I
am looking for a home where people are home most of the time so they can work
with me and help me do better on a good schedule.  I need someone very patient,
because this is all so new to me, and I am so anxious to learn and do good.   I don't
want to have to find a new home if accidents upset you, because I have been
through so much already, so please be sure that you are willing to work on this with
me.  In return, I will give you endless love and gratitude.   If you are interested in
giving me a happy new start in life, please fill out an adoption application.

Look at my face-I am as
sweet as can be!
I got a new haircut!
Mia
I'm Mia, a 4 year old hairless girl,
and as you can see, I have some
very beautiful spots!  I'm a little pale
right now, since it is winter, but
check out my pattern on the
right-how pretty am I?  I just love
playing with toys, eating delicious
food and snuggling with my person.  
I do have some fear issues that I will
need to work through, so really little
children are a little too scary for me.
 I am fine with kids who are a little
older, though.  I am currently being
evaluated and will be available for
adoption soon.  I need to go to a
home that is familiar with Chinese
Cresteds.  Please contact Bare
Paws if you might be interested in
adopting me!
