Story
Freddy weighs 11 pounds and is 4 years old. He is a happy, energetic little dog. Freddy can sometimes be a little nervous when he meets new people, but he warms up quickly once he knows them. He can sometimes be protective of his food and that is why we are recommending no children. His new family will need to be patient with him, but he will be worth it!

Story
Meet Mochi 🍡🐶 Mochi is a 2-year-old male Chihuahua/Basenji mix with a big personality packed into a little body. He came into the shelter with another dog, but since being here he hasn’t enjoyed meeting new canine friends 🐕❌. We believe this may improve once he’s out of the stressful shelter environment and settled into a home of his own 🏡✨. Mochi is a fearful guy at first, and when he’s scared he may nip. Because of this, he needs a patient, understanding adopter who will go slow, respect his boundaries, and let him build trust at his own pace 🐾💙. Experience with shy or fearful dogs would be a big plus 🙌. Once Mochi decides you’re his person, you’re in for something special 💕. He becomes an incredibly loyal little cuddle bug 🛋️🐾 who wants nothing more than to be close to the human he trusts 🤍. The bond he forms is deep and incredibly rewarding ✨. Mochi would do best in a calm, adult-only home 🏡 where he can feel safe, decompress, and finally show his true, loving self 🌱🐕. If you’re willing to give Mochi the time and patience he deserves, he just might give you his whole heart in return ❤️🐾

Story
My name is Frankie but my foster mom calls me FrankNBeans or Frankenfurter . I'm estimated to be a 1 year old Pom/Corgi mix with a sweet heart and a playful, high-energy personality.I'm still young and would do great in a home where I'm taught rules and gently corrected as I get excited but still a little nervous around some people. I learn fast and like to make my foster mom happy. I'm good with other dogs and cats aren't that interesting .I looooove treats, toys, snuggling and one of my most favorite things is going for car rides. I love to sit on laps or like to sit with my front paws and face over the driver's arm rested on the center console., staring at my best friend - will that be you?  ##2572685##
