Story
Rumi is a sweet and loving puppy. She loves to play and learn. She has been a student since the late summer and continues to take dog training classes. She knows sit, wait, find it, shake, look at me, and leave it. She likes her crate and will follow the command "go to your room" (ie. crate when needed). Of course all of these commands need to be in continuous training and practice. She has some anxiety, and cuddling helps. She prefers a small group of people, who are dog friendly and present as safe/calm. Rumi loves my boys (ages 13 and 11) and plays with them and follows their training. However, there are times that she can get territorial with me, and if someone comes near me, she may attempt to get aggressive (ie. growling). Although she hasn't acted on these behaviors, they are still concerning for me, as I hoped to take her as a therapy dog within the schools, and I do not believe she would handle that expectation. She is up to date with all of her vaccines.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet, tiny tripawed girl!Meet Holly! Tiny, one-year-old Holly came to SVPP after a local shelter reached out for help. She had arrived as a stray, but it quickly became clear she was suffering from a severely broken front leg that required major surgery. Once in our care, we worked closely with our veterinary team to determine the best surgical option to give Holly the highest possible quality of life. Throughout it all, her devoted foster momma surrounded her with love and comfort. Despite the pain she was experiencing, Holly remained incredibly stoic and never lost her gentle, sweet nature. She truly is a special little girl. Now that her amputation surgery is complete and her stitches have been removed, Holly is feeling great and ready to move forward with her life. She’s resilient, loving, and excited to thrive as a cherished member of a forever family. Could you be the family Holly has been waiting for?

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cisco  is a playful, affectionate, happy little guy who enjoys chasing balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes. He needs a little time to build trust with his humans before his wonderfully sweet and cuddly personality comes out. The short wait is so worth it! Energy Level?  Medium  House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash?   Cisco  pulls a bit on the leash, but otherwise does very well.  Describe how they are with other dogs?  He generally ignores other dogs at first, but when he encounters one he feels comfortable with, he initiates play. If  Cisco  feels the other dog has crossed a boundary by playing too roughly, he will try to correct them. He's small but mighty! Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  He's good with respectful dogs. He has met one dod savvy cat, and he initially barked at him.  Commands they know? Sit What are their favorite things?  Playing fetch with balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes. What do they need to work on?  Building confidence with new people, and would benefit from more obedience training. He is a very smart little guy and would learn quickly. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He's fine being left alone. He will sleep.  Where do they sleep?  He is fine sleeping in a crate or just on a bed on the floor. What is their ideal home?  He would do well in a quiet, adult-only household, either as an only dog or with other respectful dogs. Cisco is 6 years old and 7 pounds. Our Adoption fee is $325.     For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online application at www.everypetsdream.org/adopt. We will have everything we need  to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:    Facebook    and    Instagram.      January 3, 2026, 9:21 pm
