Hi There: My name is Molly. I’m a white 1 yr. old spayed female and a possible mix of American Eskimo, Pomeranian and some sort of Terrier. I weigh 12 lbs, current on my vaccines, microchipped, will sit on command and crate trained. I’m basically housebroken and figured out the doggie door in my foster home in about 3 minutes. Personality plus describes me well. I’m extremely affectionate with a great temperament and very much a “people dog” who loves to give kisses. I’m also very compatible with the other amiable dogs in my foster home and even want to play with the cats there too. Cats are basically not interested, but I try. Belly rubs are high on my list of wants from my humans. I basically just love everyone and aim to please. Since I’m a very active dog and can jump rather high straight up and down when I’m excited or about to get a treat, I need a lot of interaction and attention from my humans. Walks are a favorite and playing with toys with my foster mom. I tend to be a little stubborn at times because of my excitement and tend not to respond to commands so best to keep me on lead at all times unless I’m in a confined area. Considering my doggie resume I need to be in home where someone is home most of the time to give me the love and attention I require and to take me with them whenever possible. Since I'm an active dog I would love a home with children; but they must be old enough and taught to respect me so we can play together properly and be buddies. Keeping me isolated for long hours or outside alone will cause me to bark. Since I’m so very quick moving I could be a problem for the elderly. Come and meet me. You’ll just love me; I guarantee it!! Kisses, Mollie
Hello, my name is Mia. I’m a 6-month old white, spayed female, Maltese mix and weigh approximately 6 to 7 lbs. Plus you have to admit I’m a real cutie!! I’m microchipped, current on my vaccines and “mostly” housebroken but will still need help from my new master and/or mistress. I will respond when you tell me to “do my business” outside; but since I’m just 6 months old I still need to be reminded. My foster mom says I’m very sweet "very" active and a little hyper at times but would make a great companion dog. I tend to get overly excited and a little mouthy so I would not do well in a home with children. When I get excited I tend to bark sometimes. An adult home where someone is home most of the time is where I need to be so I can get the proper attention, affection and the training I need. If you have cats I'll want to play with them; but if they put me in my place, I'll respect them and go away. I love all dogs; but older dogs don't have my energy, and I tend to pester them until they snap at me. I love to play tug-of-war with another active dog like me. Therefore, living with an older dog would not be a good idea. I love to go on walks, will "sit" when told especially to get my supper or a biscuit and will go into my crate or my corral area when I hear the word “crate”. Plus I won’t mess in my crate or corral area but will bark if I really need to go outside. I also know the word “stay” which is really important; so if you open a door I won’t run out. How’s that for being smart at 6 months old!! Since I'm an active little girl and need to be kept busy, I must have chew toys especially Nyla bones (not rawhide) which I love plus squeaker toys and balls. Playing fetch is already a favorite. My foster mom has a good selection of toys and rotates them so I don't get bored with the same ones all the time. My foster mom is smart too! At this point I'm not a typical "lap dog", but I do like to sit and sleep close to my humans. OK, that's all about me; now I'm waiting to meet YOU!! Best for you to go to dogbreedinfo.com and read up on the Maltese breed to be sure I'm the right choice for you and your lifestyle. 
Hi! I'm Bob. I'm a 4.5 yr. old, Catahoula/Mix, neutered male and weigh approx. 40 lbs. Catahoula's are not very common in the Western part of the U.S. but very common in southern states like Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana where I'm the state dog! I'm current on my vaccines and microchipped. I'm a sociable guy but need a strong handler who understands my sensitivities. I'm an active, assertive, intelligent dog (true to my herding/hunting breed) and need to be in a active home where I'll get lots of attention and outside activity. I love to run and it's been said that I'm poetry in motion!! I love the outdoors, long walks, the beach, lakes and swimming pools. Fetching a tennis ball and catching a rope in mid air and bringing them back to you are high on my activity list too. I also know commands like sit, down and shake. Plus I'm a good car traveler. My house manners are quite good. I'm housebroken, been in a crate but prefer to sleep near your bed or under it. I'm an excellent watch dog as well. I'm usually fine with other amiable dogs my size or smaller but if they're bigger than me and I don't know them yet, I may get a little uncomfortable. I've not lived with cats and consider them prey. Therefore, I need to be part of an "active" household where someone is home most of the time to interact with me and I'd prefer to be the only dog. My owners also need to be experienced dog owners with older children (18 and up). Inactivity would be a major problem for me. Come and meet me soon. Note: PLEASE read the info at dogbreedinfo.com on my breed to make sure I'm the right dog for your family and lifestyle.
Hi: I'm Minnie. I'm a 6 lb. Chihuahua-x, approx. 6 yrs. old, spayed female, had all my shots, heartworm tested and microchipped. I've been in a foster home with 5 other little dogs and we all get along. I'm even OK around dog friendly cats. I'm not one of those "yappy" Chi's, but more reserved and bark only when it's necessary. Super affectionate describes me well because I love to be carried around, spend lots of time in your lap and will give kisses. No doubt I'm a people dog and love lots of attention plus I'm playful. Walks and car rides are a favorite with me as well. I'm smart and learned what a crate is real quick. I love my crate and I sleep in it every night in a comfy bed and in it when my foster mom is gone for a while, but you could spoil me real easy and let me sleep with you. My foster home has a doggie door and I do my business outside, but I could be taught to let you know when I need to go out or you could buy me a doggie litter box. So, I'm looking for a home where someone is home most of the time to give me lots of love and attention plus take me with them whenever they can. Are you that someone??

Pet Network dogs are spayed or neutered and current on all shots. Our dogs live in nurturing foster homes and are socialized with people, children and other pets. Some of our foster parents are dog trainers, so sometimes there is the extra benefit of some obedience training while in the foster home.
The dogs come to us many times due to situations and living conditions caused by abusive or irresponsible owners. Through no fault of their own, they suffer from being surplus, unwanted and thrown away.
Won't you find room in your heart and home to adopt one of these deserving animals? They will love you for it forever.
