Story
Named for his striking fiery orange eyes, Fuego is a dog who brings warmth and excitement wherever he goes. His bright eyes perfectly match his personality: full of life, energy, and enthusiasm for every new day. Fuego is the definition of a happy-go-lucky dog. He's the kind of boy who wakes up excited to see what adventures await and approaches life with a joyful spirit that's impossible not to love. Whether he's exploring a new trail, spending time outdoors, or simply soaking up attention from his favorite people, Fuego is always ready to make the most of the moment. While he's grown out of the tiny puppy stage, Fuego still has plenty of youthful energy and a playful outlook on life. He loves being outside, stretching his legs, and discovering the world around him. His adventurous nature would make him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys hiking, walks, road trips, or any activity that gets them out and about. At the end of the day, Fuego's greatest gift is his zest for life. His happiness is contagious, and he has a way of making every adventure a little more fun. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with a big smile, an adventurous spirit, and eyes that shine as brightly as his personality, Fuego is ready to light up your life.

Story
Sweet Girl Maggie Needs a New Home 🐾Maggie is a friendly, 65 lb 2 years old rescue, looking for a new family due to changes in our family and the fact I am traveling more for work.She’s great with adults, cats, and other dogs — loves to play in short bursts then curls up next to her humans. Knows basic commands, up to date on shots, and enjoys doggy daycare. She is spayed. She does get a little anxious in new situations and freezes, then after a minute she is okay. She is a little anxious around kids, especially young kids who move fast.She loves just being close to her people and playing fetch.Looking for a loving home where she can get playtime + cuddle time. Message me with questions or to set up a meet-and-greet!

Story
Meet Mia! Beautiful spayed Female Border Collie, super energetic, smart, and full of love! She follows you around like glue and listens to commands. Sit, stay, lay down, outside, paw, toy. Loves fetch and obsessed with stuffed chew toys. Mia would love an active home with someone who has time to give her the love and attention she deserves. She gets along with our cat and elder dog, but her herding instincts can get the better of her personality.

Story
Ghost is a happy little puppy with a cuddly side and a growing sense of independence! He's doing great with leash walking and has become quite the communicator, letting his people know when it's time to go outside. He's making progress with potty training and enjoys having a cozy crate for naps and treats. Ghost loves his toys and is especially fond of a good game of tug-of-war! He's also a wonderful snuggler when he's sleepy, although sometimes he prefers to stretch out on the floor before deciding it's time for more cuddles. Ghost appreciates gentle chin and chest scratches. He's a sweet, happy boy with lots of puppy personality and so much love to give!
