He adores cuddling, walking, kissing, playing and meeting new friends, two-legged and four-legged alike. Chester has a little bit of anxiety when left alone for hours. He will complain if you leave him and will not be destructive but needs a brother or sister to keep him company. He'll let you know that he will miss you therefore apartment living is not suitable for this guy but he will never be destructive. He just adores being surrounded with people and dogs, sometimes even cats. Chester is not high-energy but is in search of a family who will provide him with the mental stimulation and loving care he needs. He will undoubtedly love this family back and make them feel special. Chester will be worth it.

Bijou

The word Bijou is French for jewel. Bijou is the perfect name for this wonderful girl. She is beautiful, full of energy, smart, loves challenges and has a big heart. She is approximately one and a half. When she first arrived at Speaking of Dogs Rescue, they noticed that she was limping on her back leg. It turned out that she had a malformed bone. With some surgery, this was corrected painlessly. She healed beautifully and the vet gave her the green light to sports and being as active as she pleases. For Bijou, this was priceless as she thrives off of playing all day every day. Not too long after her surgery, Bijou was adopted but the family could not provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needed. Unfortunately, it was not the right fit therefore Bijou was brought back to Speaking of Dogs Rescue. Twenty pounds of terrier love, Bijou does chase cats. This jewel will complete someone special's necklace of a family. It has to be the right fit, like Cinderella's shoe. There is hope for this dog to have a forever home.

Little Man and Miss Bailey

What has eight legs, two heads, weighs twenty pounds total and is so adorable you smile uncontrollably? Answer: this bonded pair of chihuahuas! Little Man is the long haired male and Miss Bailey is the short-haired female. They were rescued from a shelter where they had spent 7 months and needed medical care. Their former family had moved away and could not bring them. Because they each weigh ten pounds, they were smaller than most of the dogs and very stressed out. Now that they are in foster care, they have healed successfully and are so happy you wouldn't even know they used to be unhappy. Little Man has a talent for cuddling, he was made for giving kisses and his favorite spot in the world is on someone's lap. Little Man doesn't like to go in his crate unless Miss Bailey goes in first. Such a gentleman. Little Man is also very loyal, he likes to follow his person around and will get a tad jealous if another dog interferes with his lap time. Miss Bailey is the most happy little girl. She prances around and gets especially excited when its dinnertime. She loves playtime with her Little Man. She really is a little princess and Little Man is her prince. Bailey is also a Daddy's girl and will climb into the big bed in the middle of the night, her body under the covers like a person. Bailey gets stressed quite easily so a home with a calm, structural environment is best for these two. They would do best in a home with no small children as well. They are two happy souls that love to love.

Cookie

Her foster family thinks Cookie is a husky x shepherd and approximately one or two years old. Her time was up at a shelter when she was brought into a foster home of the Animal Guardian Society, part of the Helping Homeless Pets rescue. At first, Cookie is timid but she warms up to people very fast with a bit of encouragement, soft talk, patience and treats. People must be calm, gentle and kind around her because she can be wary of new people, places and things. Once she warms up to you, you're golden because this good looking dog is incredibly intelligent. She has a lot of potential in obedience, agility or scent detection. She learns very fast, practices hard and can very possibly become a skilled partner. When Cookie came into rescue, she was very underweight.While she is very food-motivated, she is also worried about eating around other dogs. She is learning that mealtime is a regular thing as well as toys, a soft bed, walks and love. She is slowly understanding that it is going to be there every day. People who are high-strung, loud and move fast or suddenly make her nervous so she needs a home without children and with experienced owners. Another calm and confident canine or feline companion would be great. She really is a sweetheart who could fill your heart with doggy love.

She is a very healthy 2 1/2 year old gal. She is good with other dogs but cannot be with children under 10 because of her size and strength. A requirement for Roxie is a six foot tall fenced-in yard.

Stanley

Stanley is a black pug full of life was picked up by Pugalug back in January 2013. He was diabetic and a little old. He was also shy but still sweet. His wonderful foster mom and vet switched his medication in hopes to start stabilizing. As he got treated, he came out of his shell slowly and opened up to his many foster siblings and mom. They soon discovered that he is completely blind. Poor Stanley was very lost once the snow melted. His diabetes still refused to stabilize through the months but Stanley managed to roll with the ups and downs of his blood sugar levels. He also later on got a few teeth removed and started playing tug of war more with his foster brothers. Stanley learned to deal with his blindness thanks to all of the commotion his foster brothers and sisters make. He walks slowly and prefers a fenced-in backyard but doesn't mind a patient walk through the park. As he continues being a medical mystery due to continuous gaining weight and his diabetes that refuse to stabilize, he also needs eye drops because he won't produce tears. He did reveal his pug-like love for cuddles, kisses and lounging in the sun. He also makes funny sounds when you scratch his butt and will greet you with a wagging tail. In all, he is exceptionally lovable and will give plenty of smiles and kisses. Because of his medical issues, he is not yet up for adoption but everyone has their fingers crossed for soon. He is so special and has a beautiful little spirit. He  never stops smiling. He belongs in a very lucky and very special family.
