Story
Meet Juniper, a little bundle of energy who’s perfect for someone with an active lifestyle or children who love to run and play. This playful Chihuahua mix is just 1 year old and weighs a little over 10 lbs. Despite his small size, he’s packed with personality and a zest for life. He adores squeaky toys – toys of almost any sort, really – and is always ready for a game of fetch. Once he’s run off some of that energy, he’s ready to climb in your lap for a snuggle and a nap. If you’re looking for a fun-loving and funny companion to keep up with your adventures, Juniper’s your guy!  Email Save the Strays for our application. Adoption fee $300.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 14, 2025, 7:04 pm

Story
Hello! I’m Michelangelo, and I’m a Priority Pet! ??I’m a sweet, laid-back guy who just wants to be near my people. I love following my foster mom around and keeping her company—it makes me feel safe and happy. I used to get a little sad when she’d leave the house, but now I get excited when I get to tag along. Honestly, I’m happiest when I’m by someone’s side.I’ve got a few favorite toys that make playtime fun, and while I sometimes need a little help getting onto the couch or bed, I’m getting better at it! I enjoy walks, but nothing too long—just a nice little stroll to stretch my legs and sniff the world.I’m friendly with everyone I meet, and you’ll know it when you see my sweet tail wag! I especially enjoy the company of older kids, and I’m not the type to bark much. I may be a little hard of hearing, so you might need to tap the floor or use a light to get my attention—but I’m a great listener once you do.I do take medicine for seizures and have a special diet to keep my tummy happy, but the adoption team can tell you everything you need to know about that.If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion who will be your shadow and bring warmth to your days, I might just be your guy.Pawmetto Lifeline is offering FREE basic medical care for LIFE -all included services listed below!Annual exam for life at Pawmetto LifelineCore Vaccines for life at Pawmetto LifelineFree annual HW test for life at Pawmetto LifelineMedication at cost plus 10% (*doesn`t include HW/Flea prevention) from Pawmetto Lifeline My adoption fee of $100 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention.

Story
Hi, I’m Buddy!I’m a happy, friendly guy who’s never met a stranger—I love everyone! I have the sweetest personality and warm up to new people right away. I’m currently living with a dog who’s four times my size, and I think she’s the coolest! I love trying to play with her, exploring the yard, and keeping an eye on everything that’s going on.When it’s time to relax, I’m all about cuddles on the couch—and yes, I even like to watch a little TV. I get super excited at dinnertime (I always know when it’s coming!) and take my treats very gently. I’m still learning about walks and potty training since I used to be a stray, but I’m a smart boy who’s catching on quickly. I love my crate and do great in it during the day and overnight.I’d make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving, playful, and affectionate dog who’s always happy to see you. I can’t wait to find my forever family—could it be you?My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you!

Story
Chico is a sweet, settled, senior boy who needs a retirement home. He`s a chill boy who loves to be b your side and would be a great companion for a retired person/couple. He does ok with housetraining IF you take him out often, otherwise, he wears a male wrap and it doesn`t bother him one bit. All he needs is a place to live out his remaining time with lots of love. Chico is not neutered due to his age and health. The vet did not see the point in doing it. He is current on vaccines and microchipped. 12.5 yrs 8 lb.

Story
Koda is adorable and we all love him so much. He was adopted out from us at age 1. Now he is 8. His owner became unable to care for him, so he was returned to us. He is now overweight by about 8 lb. but we are working to get him back in shape. He is a sweetheart who loves people and other dogs. We`ve promised him he won`t have to go through another sad loss like he`s been through. Koda is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped. His goal weight is 16. He`ll get there.
