Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** Brownie is a lively, confident pup who really enjoys playing with other dogs and likes people. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night and occasionally naps or chews on toys in the crate during the day. Brownie loves to play outside and explore a fenced-in back yard. He really enjoys fetching a tennis ball! He is quite happy with a stick or tennis ball and another dog to share it with outside, or sharing plush toys with another dog inside. He enjoys going for leashed walks around a neighborhood. Brownie plays well with larger dogs and perfectly matched the energy of a larger puppy in the foster's home. Brownie is food motivated, which should make training easier. Brownie enjoys being held and carried around for a short time, but he is mostly on the move! He is a great snuggler and would love a large plush dog bed in a family room where he can gather all of his toys. Brownie will be a fun and lively addition to your household!

Story
***AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS*** Looking for a gentle, low-maintenance buddy who will melt your heart? Meet Pyotr, a crate-trained, fully potty-trained sweetheart who’s been an absolute gem in his foster home. He sleeps soundly through the night, has impeccable crate manners, and gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs. While he hasn’t been around young kids yet, his calm and sweet nature makes him a joy to be around. Pyotr hasn’t needed leash training just yet thanks to a fenced yard, but he’s easygoing and eager to please, so he should take to it just fine. He hasn’t learned formal commands yet, but with treats and a little patience, he’s a quick study! What really makes Pyotr shine? His love for toys—especially ones that squeak or crunch like water bottles. He enjoys carrying them all to his big comfy bed, where he settles in like a king. He also loves exploring the yard and proudly collecting sticks like hidden treasure. If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion with a playful side and a heart of gold, Pyotr might just be your perfect match. ❤️

Story
Name / Breed / Age: Rory, Chihuahua mix, Puppy  Personality Traits: Curious, The Brave Pup, Playful Likes / Dislikes:  Loves to play, considers all things toys. Dislikes being ignored Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and will be neutered/spayed between 4 to 7 months. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet!   Meet Rory, the little adventurer with the happiest wag in town!   Rory is a bright, brave, and playful sweetheart who brings sunshine wherever she goes. She LOVES being outside and will happily chase every crunchy leaf that dares to blow by. Her tail is always going, especially when she’s exploring, playing, or showing off her goofy puppy antics.   This clever girl has a fun mix of curiosity and confidence. Her favorite “toy” isn’t actually a toy at all… it’s the kiddie slide in her puppy pen. Rory races up the slide, launches herself off the top, and proudly trots away like the tiny daredevil she is. She’s smart, bold, and so much fun to watch.   Rory is also a total sweetheart. She rides beautifully in the car, loves hanging out and playing with her siblings, and recently discovered the magic of peanut butter. Even though it was a little sticky, she decided it was worth every lick!   If you’re looking for a joyful, outgoing, and lovable puppy to grow with your family, Rory is your girl. She’s ready to learn, ready to love, and ready to bring laughter into your home every single day.   Rory can’t wait to meet her forever family! ##2558989##

Story
Name / Breed / Age: Ludwig, Chihuahua, Senior Personality Traits: The Velcro Pup, Curious, Loveable Likes / Dislikes:  Likes: butt scratches, French fries. Dislikes: jam bands (hard to keep up with the beat) pen- he needs freedom to explore! Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet!   If you’ve ever dreamed of living with a tiny, determined old man who navigates life entirely by commitment and vibes — Ludwig is your guy.   Before Ludwig was surrendered to a local shelter with his siblings, he spent far too long living in a cramped little crate. Now that he finally has space in a foster home, he’s exploring like he’s training for a very small, very adorable expedition. Walls? Interesting. Furniture legs? Intriguing. Your shins? His preferred landmark.   Despite not seeing or hearing a thing, Ludwig is wildly curious and surprisingly confident. He conquered the stairs almost instantly and now struts around like a miniature landlord checking his property. It is likely Ludwig has always been blind, but we are unsure if he has always been deaf.    Ludwig is obsessed with being scratched and he LOVES playing with his humans. Toys? No interest. Other dogs? Sure. But humans? You’re the main event. He snores with the confidence of a full-grown bear, despite being roughly the size of a sandwich.   Potty training is going well as long as he sticks to his schedule, and he’s working on basic training with a level of enthusiasm that makes up for the whole “can’t hear commands” situation. He’s smart, he’s spirited, and he’s powered entirely by determination, an amazing sniffer, and touch.   If you want a senior pup with the enthusiasm of a puppy, the determination of a tiny explorer, and the comedic timing of a seasoned entertainer, Ludwig is your guy. Be prepared to laugh a lot — this little man is pure joy on four legs. ##2588517##

Story
Meet Nori: Tiny, Spicy, and Loyal to Her Chosen One Looking for a tiny shadow who will idolize you (and only you)? Allow us to present Nori, a Chihuahua with a heart full of love, a dash of drama, and just a sprinkle of diva. Nori currently lives with her foster mom, foster dad, and two teenagers. She worships foster mom like she’s Beyoncé, tolerates the teenagers like a polite celebrity on a press tour, and… well… foster dad is still waiting for his meet-and-greet pass to be approved, he mostly get bounced. But don’t worry—she loves other dogs (big, small, fluffy, bald, questionable fashion sense—no judgment). She absolutely beams at mealtime, thrives in the fresh outdoor air, treasures her tiny toys, and treats comfy pillows like five-star resorts. Now, let’s talk first impressions. Nori will not greet you like you’re long-lost soulmates. She won’t leap joyously into your arms. She will likely give you the side-eye, assess your life choices, and maybe file a silent Yelp review. New humans are… well, complicated. But give her time. As soon as her walls melt and her spicy façade softens, her true self emerges—sweet, quirky, goofy, and hilariously loyal. She transforms from cautious guest to clingy lovebug, personal comedian, and official life companion. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without her. Her ideal home? Calm, peaceful, no young kids. Another friendly dog would be a major plus. Someone patient, kind, and ready to be adored at a legendary level. Because when Nori gives her heart, she gives it completely. She is the icon of unconditional love—the kind that’s earned, cherished, and beautifully deep. Apply to adopt Nori, and prepare to become someone’s entire universe. ##2516279##
