Story
Need a dog that gets along with dogs, cats, humans - pretty much everyone and everything - and also walks well on leash and loves to snuggle? That's me, Champ! I’m 13.5 lbs. and 15 years old, and my favorite things are walks, curling up in a blanket next to you on the couch, and naps. I am still figuring out toys but when I am really excited, I like to play with toys that do not have loud squeaks. On walks, I am calm and serene - not at all bothered by what might be going on outside (dogs, bikes, other people, etc.), as befits my age. I am appropriately wary of certain loud sounds and of new places; when it is dark it's harder for me to see. My foster says I'm the sweetest boy ever and would be a great addition to your family.January 13, 2025, 9:16 pm

Story
Meet Que! He is a silly, goofy, lap dog, loves balls/toys, and is fully housetrained. Que likes the lap dog part quite a bit. He is, around 11 years old, and a perfect 16 pounds of snuggly goodness. Que's foster mom recently said that he is 'such a sweetheart. Has lots of energy, loves to greet you at the door and is so happy you are home. He loves his toys to play with on his own or with you. He'd be an excellent dog for someone who works from home or is just a homebody in general' Que also loves his canine friends, too. New people can cause some anxiety - when you are small, it's hard to know if people are friend or foe, you know? But, once he knows you, it's nothing but love. A while ago, Que lost his human family and ended up in the shelter. He had dental issues (all clear now!), skin issues (all clear now!), hadn't been neutered (all gone now!), and was so grumpy that the vet couldn't even examine him (much better now!). Basically his prior owners didn't take good care of him. TLRD fixed all of that and now I am like a different dog. There is only one thing that could be better in his life...you. Please apply today so that you can be Que's forever family.November 4, 2024, 8:32 pm

Welcome 2 year old, 8 lb shy Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, Agave. Agave and her sister, Maple were found together under a dumpster, after having been abandoned in a remote field. They are hesitant with new people and will take time to warm up. They are sweet, with Agave being a bit skittish. It took several months to get them to take walks, but now do well when walking together in a place that they know. Agave is the shyer sister, needing Maple for support. Thus, these bonded dogs need to go to a quiet home together. Apply to meet Agave/Maple at adoptocpets.org/adopt

Story
Sugar Plum is a small, 12-pound adult dog with a big heart and a lot of love to give. She's a very loyal and quiet dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch with her favorite humans. She's dignified but very affectionate and seems to love gentle attention. Sugar Plum is friendly and gentle with both people and other dogs. She's a well-mannered dog who would make a great addition to just about any family, especially those with gentle, dog-loving children. Sugar Plum would enjoy accompanying you on walks, napping at your feet, and joining you on car rides. She's a good listener and will stick by your side through thick and thin. If you're looking for a furry friend to add to your family, Sugar Plum is waiting for you with his tail wagging and lots of kisses. Sugar Plum was rescued from a kind-hearted hoarder who meant no harm, but because there were so many dogs, Sugar Plum and others slept outside. She is really loving staying indoors and is learning about crate and developing her house training skills.

Story
Hammy is sweet, gets along with other dogs, and has the cutest apple-shaped noggin you’ll ever see. Although she’s a senior, she still has plenty of energy for playing pickle ball, knitting, and telling you about all the neighborhood gossip. Here’s some notes from her foster: Gail is a petite, short legged chi who wants to be your best friend. She can be shy at first but warms up quickly and then just wants to be nearby her favorite person/people. She would likely do well as an only dog or with a pal to hang with, especially if you are away from home a lot. Being that she is small and in her senior years, we believe she would be fine with children who are older, respectful, kind and gentle with her. Hammy is housebroken and has not had an accident inside. She eats well and has put on a little weight, which she needed. Since we don't have stairs, we don't know if she will be great at stairs or not. She mostly hangs out in her bed at my feet but also checks out the world at the living room window. She has a little bark when new people come to the house but will stop when you tell her to. She is okay at home alone (with my other dog) but will whine a bit at first, then settles in her bed until you return. She clearly would prefer to go with you on your adventures!
