Hey guys, its mid-second semester. You're tired, I'm tired, things aren't going well. I could try and write a long, sappy article about how everything will be fine if you just persevere and keep your nose to the grindstone, but I won't. Instead, sit back and relax while I rock your world with eight rescue dogs who want you to know you're gonna be okay.

1. James Earl Bones, Charleston, South Carolina

A sweet Coonhound who wants a family to snuggle. He's available at Carolina Coonhound Rescue.

2. Chloe, Carrollton, Texas

She's a chocolate Lab mix who loves kids! Chloe is available at Lost Paws Rescue of Texas.

3. Sally, Columbia, South Carolina

She's a Rottie/Hound mix who loves belly rubs and is available at Pets Inc.

4. Louisa, San Diego, California

Described as a "dainty" five-year-old Terrier who is very snuggly. Available at Second Chance Dog Rescue.

5. Tiger Woods, Kanab, Utah

A senior Border Collie looking for his fur-ever home! He’s available for a free flight and waived adoption fee at Best Friends Animal Society-Utah.

6. Tina, Southampton, New York

Hopefully these sweet pups gave you just what you needed to push through this semester (and maybe a few of you just found a new fur-ever friend)!
