9. Buffy and Tina

Young (2 years 9 months) · Female · Maltese / Mixed (medium coat)

Buffy and Tina are buddies who need to find a home together. Buffy is a maltese and Tina is a chihuahua. Their owner was a homeless woman so these two little dogs were very dependant on each other. They were frequently left alone for long periods of time. Buffy is a little skittish around strange people at first but warms up quickly to anyone with a lap for her to snuggle on. Tina is a little more nervous and is frightened of men. Both love their walks and sniffing out all the new smells. Both are crate, leash and potty trained and love treats and snoozing on the couch. Both are UTD on shots, spayed and on flea preventatives. Neither has ever been around small children. The perfect home would be a quiet husehold with a patient loving lady and a fenced yard to play in.

25. Jimmy

Adult · Male · Boston Terrier / Mixed

Meet Jimmy! This 5-year-old black and white Boston Terrier mix is a sweet, gentle boy who is slowly learning to trust and feel safe. When he first arrived, he was very shy and scared, but he is beginning to come out of his shell and gain confidence. He does well with kids and other dogs, though his behavior around cats is unknown. He is up to date on vaccinations, fixed, microchipped, and has tested negative for heartworm. Despite his timid start, he has a soft, loving side. He does well during baths and enjoys being held, where he feels secure and comforted. With patience and kindness, he is sure to continue blossoming into a wonderful companion.

Adopting a dog in Jackson County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
