Feeling like the world is out of control these days, I’m periodically reflecting on books that temporarily shift my perspective to new places of imagination, possibility, humor and resolutions for human conundrums. One of my earliest memories of escaping into other worlds was reading as a child and laughing by myself with Dr. Seuss.

Two love-bugs looking for love
Maltese-poodle Jovie is a sweet snuggler as well as a beauty. After several litters, Jovie was no longer productive and thankfully was surrendered to Finding Shelter Rescue to begin a new life filled with comfort and happiness. Jovie's in foster care, enjoying dog beds, human attention and a calm environment. She's good with other dogs, especially her new foster-mate Petunia!
Gentle, reserved terrier-mix Petunia was found as a pregnant stray. After her puppies were weaned and adopted, she joined Finding Shelter Rescue and is being fostered along with Maltese-poodle Jovie. She's learned quickly that when it's breakfast time, she does a happy dance. Intelligent Petunia selectively trusts humans and when she does, she gives her whole heart.
Jovie and Petunia are supportive friends at their shared foster home. They can be adopted together or individually. Best in homes with older children or as the only object of your affection.
