Meet The Little Rascals — Darla, Alfalfa, and Spanky — three tiny fighters with huge personalities. This trio lost their mama at just 4 days old. We first learned about them when they were nearly 2 weeks old and took them in right away. Raising bottle babies is a round-the-clock labor of love, and because of that, these three share an especially strong bond with their foster mom — she’s truly their safe place. Now 4 weeks old, they’re thriving, and we are officially accepting pre-adoption applications. They are absolutely living up to their name. We’ve graduated from tube feeding and bottles to lick mats and now their very own bowls. The transition has been… messy… but they’re learning fast and diving in with enthusiasm. Each pup is already showing off a big personality: Alfalfa demands post-meal snuggles. His favorite place is tucked up by your neck where he can melt into a nap like the cuddle champion he is. Spanky believes every arm is secretly a bottle that must be nursed after meals — hilarious considering he once needed tube feeding. These days he eats like a pro and is always first in line for seconds. Darla is our tiny independent queen. After eating, she supervises her brothers, explores her surroundings, and then crashes hard for a power nap. They’re messy, loud, affectionate, and hitting every puppy milestone right on schedule. Watching them grow has been pure joy — and they’re only just getting started. If you’re ready to welcome one of these little rascals into your family, now’s the time to apply. We are currently accepting pre-adoption applications!

Our main goal is always to find the very best fit for each of our animals. We take time to get to know every pet in our care—their personalities, needs, and quirks—so we can help match them with the right family.
When you apply to adopt, here’s what you can expect:
Application Review: We carefully look over every application to be sure the home environment matches the pet’s needs.
Conversations, Not Tests: We may ask follow-up questions or chat with you about your lifestyle, schedule, and what you’re hoping for in a pet. This helps us make the best match possible.
Meet & Greet: If it seems like a good fit, we’ll arrange a meeting so you and the animal can get to know each other.
Adoption Agreement: Once approved, we’ll finalize the adoption paperwork and review everything you need to know to help your new pet adjust and thrive.
Our animals have already been through a lot, so we want their next stop to be their forever home. Thank you for understanding that we are always looking out for their best interest—and for opening your heart to adoption.
