D010: Buddy

Male Dachshund, aged 17 years

Buddy's owner died unexpectedly recently and her grandson was not able to keep him, thanks to his apartment complex.
This gentleman is supposedly 17 years old, but let me tell you! He is giving the youngsters a literal run for their money in the backyard! He is having a blast at the foster home.
He was extremely well taken care of and I would, if I didn't know better, believe he was maybe 10 years old. He's overweight, as Dachshunds have a tendency to get, sadly, but that's not hard to take care of. They do love their food!
He is absolutely a jewel. He loves cats, dogs of all sizes (he used to live with a GSD), unlike me, he loves people, too, and kids who respect dogs.
He's well house trained, can use a doggie door if you have one that goes out to a secure fenced yard and loves his squeaky toys.

Male Pit Bull Terrier/Mix, aged 1 year

D013: Elsa

Female Dachshund, aged 7 years

Elsa's owner couldn't care for her anymore, so she's with MARF now.
She's been through a lot recently so she's nervous at first, didn't want a darn thing to do with me at first but as soon as we were in the car, she wanted only to give me all the kisses and wanted all the pets from me.
I call her Elsie the heifer now because she's fickle.
She's adorable, loving as she can be once she decides she wants to be, house trained, fully vetted, heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped, just had a dental, the works.
She's 7 years old, just under 15 lbs, so she's a standard, black and tan.
Deserves a home with someone home most of the time
No children. Another small dog is fine. Secured fenced yard to potty and play WITH supervision!

D077: Leeza

Female Labrador Retriever/Mix, aged 2 years

Leeza is housebroken, loves playing with other dogs her size, bonds easily with people, loves everyone she meets, but chases cats, knows some commands and learns quickly.
She's fully vetted and is looking forward to a family of her own who has a secure fenced yard to play and potty in and who will snuggle up with her in the house where she belongs.

D014: Mandy

Female Chihuahua, aged 14 years

D042: Nee Nee

Female Shar Pei/Pit Bull Terrier, aged 6 years

Nee Nee came to us with a terrible skin problem but she is so much better after all the meds have been taken.
She is stuck in boarding, though, with no foster family to call her own.
She loves everyone and would love to snuggle with you or play with you or go for walks with you.
She is just that kind of girl, loving and happy.
She is microchipped, spayed, heartworm negative and on prevention. She has been up dated on her shots.
Come be her hero.
She's part shar pei so she makes those little snorty noises when she's playing with her TOUGH toys and sleeping 😂
If you've never heard it, you'll get a real kick out of it!
She loves catching ice cubes in her mouth.
I've also made up a new breed and I'm calling her a SHARPIE 😊
She was CAT TESTED and she totally IGNORED THE CAT 💖

D047: Nico

Male Rhodesian Ridgeback/Mix, aged 1 year

Yet another baby boy thrown out like trash. When will people realize the treasure they have?! He is so very sweet and would love to have a family of his own to play with and to snuggle up with to watch TV after a round of FETCH. He is FULLY VETTED. Apply to foster or adopt at madisonarf.org
It is so very sad to watch a happy puppy grow up in a boarding facility, no matter how much love he is given there. All puppies deserve a home and a family of their own, which he has never had. He is well behaved, gentle, and oh so loving. Will you be his hero?

D056: Shellie

Female Shepherd/Mix, aged 5 years

This precious big girl (almost 70#) was found, as too many are, thrown out like garbage, but she's a true gem.
She's been vetted but and had to be treated for the deadly heartworm disease because her owner sadly didn't think she was worth a cheap little pill once a month to prevent her from getting the disease.
Here in the Deep South, it's a losing gamble to not give prevention.
She is feeling much better and has recovered from the treatment and she's a pretty chilled out dog.
She doesn't like other dogs to come up and get in her business but she won't seek them out and get in theirs.
She's more a loner and prefers to be the only child.
She's in foster with an older dog and several cats and doing very well with them.
She's very sweet and chill, according to the fosters.
The older dog is diabetic and Shellie is actually acting as the "dog nurse" to the older dog and is being so kind and sweet to her. 💕
Shellie is terrified of storms and will escape a privacy fence if left on her own to use a doggie door during the day!
She needs a leash walk for potty during rain and storms. Also no doggie door while the owners are away or she'll be GONE when they return. She's fine with a crate to be on the safe side while owners are working or away.

D006: Tanner

Male Chihuahua/Mix, aged 1 year

This little guy came from a backyard breeder but he is just as sweet as he can be, gets along with everybody he has met so far and loves to play with other dogs.
He seems to have decent house manners and would love to have a home of his own where he would be treated like the sweet gentleman he was always meant to be.
He would do best with another small dog in the home to play with but no small children please.
A securely fenced yard is required for him to potty and play in and preferably a stay-at-home or work from home person or persons.
He deserves the best because that's not what he's had in the past.
**No children**
He really needs a quiet home and lots of attention because he's never had that before.
And he is still working on his potty training.
The adoption fee is $300 for this fully vetted little guy.
