Story

This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story

This puppy has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care by an owner. Puppies require a significant amount of structure, routine, time, patience, and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a puppy is a critical time to establish boundaries and help your puppy understand what they can expect from you and what you expect from them. Remember, puppies aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future.

Story

This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn.

Story

Bella is a small adult Chihuahua (approximately 15 lbs) with a big heart and a strong bond to her people. She loves to be close—whether that’s curling up next to you on the couch or relaxing nearby where she feels safe and secure.She thrives in a calm, predictable environment and would do best with an owner who appreciates the unique personality that comes with small breeds. Bella is crate-trained and does well with structure and routine.Like many little dogs, Bella can be a bit protective of her space and belongings, so she would do best in a home with:* An experienced dog owner* No young children* A quieter household where she can settle in comfortablyBella has so much love to give and forms a close connection with her person. Once she feels secure, she is a loyal and affectionate companion who just wants to be near you.This decision is being made out of love, with the goal of finding Bella a home that better fits her needs and allows her to truly thrive.

Story

Dog Name: Coffee Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex: spayed female Age: 3 years in February 2026 Weight: 12.5 pounds Medical Needs: Coffee takes 10mg of Clomipramine twice daily. This is a behavioral med and has helped her compulsive digging/guarding behaviors. Housebroken: yes, she's not had a single accident in my home so far. Crate trained: sort of, when I take her to work with me and there's people around her she stays in her kennel just fine. At home she is not a fan. Good in the car: yes. She is a very well behaved passenger and sits still and quietly in the backseat Good on a leash: Coffee LOVES to go on walks but can pull and get AGGRESSIVE if she sees other dogs or a feline. She is not a friend to any stranger, 2 nor 4 legged. Energy level: high. Coffee can be hyper when she's excited. This includes jumping and nipping at your hands. Coffee also loves it when it's time to settle down and will snuggle in your lap. Need a fenced in yard: not necessarily, but she would really enjoy having the space to run free and DIG! Adopters need to be willing to crate train or at least limit her to one room of the house when not home if they don't have a yard as she may dash out when you arrive home. Dog Friendly: yes, with VERY slow introductions. She doesn't like unfamiliar dogs but loves the 2 dogs she lives with in her current foster home. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Not necessarily but would enjoy a small dog friend. Cat Friendly? She has only met stray felines in the neighborhood and she's not a fan of them. She will try and go after them. Not a friend to felines. Kid Friendly: not tested, but I don't recommend her being in a home with small children due to her size, mouthy behaviors, and it takes her a while to warm up to people. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? I would recommend 13+ Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Coffee is an extremely sweet girl once she gets to know you. When she first arrived in my care, she did not like me at all. She showed some cage aggression and fearful reactions until she learned I am a safe person. On day 3 she jumped up on my bed on her own and slowly approached, gave my face a lick, and she's been wonderful TO ME ever since. You are either a threat or someone who has won coffee over and is now her best friend whose face she must smooch. There is no in between. Coffee is very barrier aggressive still and will bite new people. With how long it takes for coffee to adjust to new people, a quiet home with very few guests is ideal. Adopters must be aware of her fears and behaviors with new people and be willing to give her time and space to get comfortable and build confidence in her new home.
