PET ADOPTION
Jazz the pitbull mix is looking for her forever home. This sweet girl is just over 1 year old. She loves other dogs and all humans including kids. Jazz has a previous injury that she is well healed from but sometimes has to go easy and take rests due to a stiff back leg. She would love a couch to snuggle into and a person to call her own. If you are interested in meeting this sweet little nugget of love email at ohbedogfulrescue@gmail.com or call 970-349-5047.
Our best guess is that JC is a Tibetan Spaniel but what we know for sure is that he is a spunky little cutie pie! JC will bring joy to your heart with his bubbly personality; he is such a happy boy. Because he loves his people so much he’ll need a family that is home most of the time. JC also needs some additional help with house training, but he is so adorably worth the effort! He is about 1 year old and weighs 20 lbs.
Senior Spotlight
Daisy came to us as a middle-aged girl, after she lost her owner to illness. She quickly became one of the pack, joining 4 cats and one other dog, and we can’t think about life without her! Though she’s not the sharpest, she sure is CUTE! She gets comments everywhere she goes about her gorgeous fluff and sweet personality, but she doesn’t let it go to her head. Daisy enjoys snacks of all kinds, especially popcorn and radishes, going for walks, barking at anything that moves (or even if it doesn’t) and laying out in cool weather to survey the neighborhood. She is our big, fluffy ray of sunshine and we love her so!
