Story
Hi, I’m Paris! I’m a 4-month-old terrier mix, currently 7 pounds of scruffy sweetness with a thoughtful little face that makes people stop and stare. Some say I look like a tiny woodland creature. I’ll take that as a compliment. I’m still very much a baby, learning how the world works one day at a time. I can be a little unsure at first—I like to observe before I jump in—but once I feel safe, my gentle, curious personality starts to shine. I’m not loud or pushy; I’m more of a quiet companion who wants to stay close and figure things out together. I’m expected to stay on the smaller side when I’m grown. I’d love a home that understands I’m still learning, where patience, kindness, and consistency help me grow into the confident little dog I’m meant to be. If you’re looking for a puppy with a soft heart, soulful eyes, and a calm, sweet presence, I might be your girl. I promise to grow with you, love deeply, and always try my best. Much Love, Paris

Story
Meet Papis Breed: Border Terrier Sex: Male DOB: 1/12/2024 Weight: 15 pounds Health: Healthy and doing well Papis is a charming little gentleman with bright, curious eyes and a heart full of devotion. True to his Border Terrier roots, he’s cheerful, affectionate, and quietly confident. He has a wonderful balance of playful energy and calm companionship, making him a joy to have by your side whether you’re heading out for a walk or settling in for a cozy evening at home. Personality Papis is friendly, loyal, and deeply people-oriented. He enjoys being included in daily activities and thrives on companionship. He’s alert and intelligent without being overwhelming, playful without being chaotic, and affectionate without being demanding. Papis is the kind of dog who wants to be near you — not necessarily on top of you — quietly soaking up love and returning it tenfold. Breed Info: Border Terrier Border Terriers are known for: Sweet, affectionate, and adaptable temperaments Intelligence and eagerness to please Moderate energy with an “on/off” switch Strong bonds with their people Being excellent companions for active or relaxed households They tend to do well with consistent routines, gentle training, and regular engagement. Owner Responsibilities Papis will thrive with: Daily walks and mental stimulation Continued positive-reinforcement training A stable routine and loving guidance Plenty of affection and inclusion as a true family member Though small, he still needs structure, exercise, and emotional connection to be his best self. &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider Before Adopting Before adopting Papis, please thoughtfully consider: Do you have time to provide companionship and routine? Is your housing situation secure and pet-friendly? Are you prepared for grooming, vet care, and daily needs? Terrier breeds can be curious and alert — engagement is key Adoption is a lifelong promise, not a short-term decision Vet Care Even though Papis is healthy, adopters should schedule a visit with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish care and support a smooth transition. The 3-3-3 Rule First 3 days: Papis may feel unsure as he adjusts — patience and reassurance matter. First 3 weeks: He’ll start learning your routine and settling into his new world. First 3 months: Trust deepens, confidence grows, and he’ll truly know he’s home. This adjustment period is completely normal and part of building a strong bond. Why Papis Will Be a Wonderful Addition Papis is the kind of dog who fits right into your life and heart. He offers loyalty without demand, affection without pressure, and companionship that feels easy and genuine. With love, structure, and commitment, he will be a faithful friend who brings warmth, joy, and steady happiness to his forever home.
