A GOLDEN GIRL WAITING FOR YOU Blanche is a sweetheart of a Dachshund mix who is 12 years young. She is in good health, but doesn't move as quickly has she did a few years ago. She is house trained and gets along well with cats and other dogs. Blanche loves to hang out in the kitchen and "help" her foster parents cook because she knows, at some point, snacks might become involved. She also enjoys exploring the back yard and sleeping in her new bed. Blanche is up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped and heartworm negative. Blanche would make such a comforting companion for an individual or a family. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Apply at tireddogrescue.org  Fee: $175

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
