Story
Meet Chipmunk Male Terrier Mix | DOB: 10-20-25 | 21lbs Don’t let the name fool you — this Chipmunk isn’t storing acorns… he’s storing up LOVE to give to his forever family. At 21 lbs, this sweet terrier mix is the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and everything in between. He’s currently thriving in his foster home, where he’s showing off his playful personality and champion-level belly flop skills. Chipmunk’s Highlights: Very sweet and loving Great with dogs Kid-friendly best buddy Super playful OBSESSED with belly rubs (seriously… he melts) He loves to run, play, and then dramatically roll over to request (okay, demand) belly rubs. Once you start, be prepared — he will give you the look if you even think about stopping. Chipmunk would love a home where he can play, be included in family fun, and soak up all the affection he can get. He’s the kind of dog who will greet you like you’ve been gone for years… even if you just checked the mail. If you’re ready for tail wags, happy zoomies, and a professional belly-rub enthusiast, Chipmunk is waiting in his foster home for you.

Story
Meet Milky Way Male Terrier Mix | DOB: 10-20-25 | 20 lbs of Pure Fun Warning: This Milky Way contains extreme levels of sweetness… and zero calories. Milky Way is a 20-lb bundle of wiggles, zoomies, and happy tail wags currently living his best life in a foster home — but he’s ready to blast off into his forever family. What makes this galaxy so special? Very sweet and loving Playful and full of personality Gets along great with other dogs Kid-approved bestie Olympic-level toy enthusiast Professional yard zoomer He LOVES to run, chase toys, and then dramatically flop over for love and attention. One minute he’s zooming across the yard like a shooting star, the next he’s cuddling up like the softest little space nugget. Milky Way would thrive in a home where he can play, explore, and be included in all the fun. He’s social, silly, and ready to make your life approximately 10x happier (scientifically unproven but highly likely). If your home is missing: ✔️ Tiny paw prints ✔️ Random bursts of zoomies ✔️ A sweet face staring at you like you hung the moon Then congratulations… your universe is about to align. Adopt Milky Way and let the adventures begin! Apply to adopt at https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfOA6TyZx8.../viewform...

Story
Baguette – The Gentle Giant Baguette is the larger cream beauty of the bunch, with gorgeous fluff and a neatly shaved face. A little more reserved than his siblings, Baguette takes his time soaking in the world around him — and once he feels safe, his sweet personality truly shines. He’s learning about leashes at his own pace but has the doggie door mastered. Baguette loves soft toys he can snuggle (especially the extra-stuffed kind) and is fully committed to laying down while he eats — it’s simply his vibe. This handsome boy is looking for a patient, loving home where he can blossom into his very best self. 🐾💛

Story
Caviar – The Refined Gentleman Caviar is our fluffy black prince with a taste for the finer things in life — cozy beds, soft toys, and a safe home where he can shower his people with love. This handsome boy is gentle, observant, and quietly charming. He’s learning the ropes of being a family dog, and while the leash is still a bit of a mystery, he’s confidently using the doggie door like a seasoned pro. Caviar enjoys his meals lounging down (as any distinguished gentleman would) and treasures plush toys with maximum fluff. He’s ready for a loving home where he can truly relax and shine.
