Story
Meet John, a sweet and spunky 2-year-old chi mix with a heart of gold and a bit of a wobble in his step. Weighing in at 20 pounds, John is a gentle soul who loves attention, stuffed squeaky toys, veggie-based treats, and being told he’s a good boy. He’s potty trained, crate trained at night, and communicates when he needs to go outside by going to the door. Though visually impaired and managing a seizure condition (just one pill three times a day), John remains playful and full of character—he’s especially known for his charming prance and love of praise. John would thrive in a calm, low-stimulation home where he can feel safe and relaxed. A securely fenced yard is ideal, as walks can be overwhelming for him. He prefers being the only dog in the home. An experienced and understanding adopter would be the best match. With his loving nature and big personality, John is sure to bring warmth and joy to a home that embraces his special needs and sweet spirit. Apply to meet John today!

Story
They say legends never retire...they just get scruffier. Meet Squashy Nice, a 12-year-old Pomeranian/Spaniel mix with a secret-agent past and a heart that’s all soft and sweet. With one ear up (always on alert for snack sounds) and the other folded down (his built-in charm feature), he’s equal parts mystery and charm. Despite a Jason Bourne backstory we may never fully uncover, Squashy is thriving with a bit of TLC and a steady supply of treats. He’s friendly with other dogs, loves pets, and soaks up attention like it’s his job. Underneath that scruffy coat is a funny, affectionate old soul just waiting for his next chapter... Could it be the one where he finds his forever couch?
