Story
Introducing Lucy! 🐾😍 Lucy is a breathtaking 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel with an absolutely unforgettable look. Her striking blue eyes sparkle with curiosity and sweetness, perfectly complemented by her rare, beautifully blended coloring. Her coat is unbelievably soft and plush, the kind you can’t stop touching and that feels tailor-made for long snuggle sessions and cozy naps. Lucy’s personality matches her beauty. She greets everyone she meets with gentle kisses and a warm, affectionate spirit. She has a fun, playful side and enjoys being active, but she’s not hyper—she knows exactly when it’s time to settle in and cuddle close. She loves being held, thrives on affection, and will happily soak up all the love you have to give. She is exceptionally gentle with children and does wonderfully with them. When meeting other dogs, Lucy can be a little unsure at first and may bark, so she needs calm, patient introductions to help her feel comfortable. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Lucy is the total package—soft, sweet, stunning, and ready to be someone’s cherished best friend. If you’re looking for a dog who will steal your heart and your couch, Lucy is waiting. 💗

Story
Introducing Buster 🐾🤍 Buster is a 12-week-old Lab mix with the sweetest, softest expression and the kind of face that makes you want to pull him close and never let go. His warm tan coat, adorable dark muzzle, and gentle puppy eyes give him a permanently cuddly look—like he was made to be held. One glance at him and you can already tell he’s a snuggler at heart. True to his personality, Buster is a total cuddle bug. He’s gentle, relatively calm for a puppy, and happiest when he’s curled up in your lap soaking up affection. While he does enjoy playtime, he always wants his cuddles first—snuggling is absolutely his favorite thing, and he’ll happily choose it over toys or even food. Fostered on a farm, Buster does wonderfully with everyone he meets, including kids, cats, other dogs, goats, and everything in between. He’s easygoing, loving, and fits right in wherever he goes. Buster is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find a forever home that will appreciate his sweet nature and endless desire to snuggle. 🐶💛

Introducing Cash! 🐾😍 He is a 12 week old Heeler/Shepherd mix with striking blue eyes and the classic puppy-dog personality to match. He’s silly, affectionate, and extremely people-oriented, always happiest when he’s with his humans. He greets everyone with enthusiasm but has a special soft spot for the people he’s bonded with.

When the excitement settles, he loves cuddling and staying close to his people. Cash is potty trained and kennel trained and has had no accidents in his kennel, showing great consistency and routine awareness. He also does well with cats and other dogs, making him a great fit for many different home environments. He is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, and searching for his forever family.

Story
Introducing Tiny! 🐾😍 Tiny is a 1-year-old Dachshund mix weighing in at just 14 pounds of pure sweetness. She truly lives up to her name — teeny tiny in size, but overflowing with love. Tiny is the definition of a velcro dog. She wants to be wherever you are, following you from room to room and happily curling up beside you the moment you sit down. She absolutely picks her person — and once she does, that’s her human. Her loyalty is unmatched. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and thrives on attention. Tiny does well with kids, cats, and other dogs, though very young children may be a bit overwhelming for her petite frame. She’s super smart and already housebroken, making her an easy addition to the right home. Tiny is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to give someone her entire heart. She doesn’t need a big space or a busy life — just someone to love her back as much as she will love them. 🥹💕

Story
Meet Ray, an adorable 1-year-old hound mix who is ready to win your heart! Ray is the epitome of sweetness, with a gentle spirit that shines through in everything he does. This lovable pup has a strong desire to be by your side, following you around the house and soaking up all the love and attention you can give him. His affectionate nature makes him a perfect companion for anyone looking for a furry friend to snuggle with. Ray is not just cuddly; he also has a playful side that brings joy to every day. He loves to engage with his toys, whether it’s a squeaky ball or a soft plushie, and he can spend hours happily playing and exploring. His playful antics will surely bring smiles and laughter to your home. In terms of training, Ray is doing exceptionally well. He is crate trained, which means he has a cozy little sanctuary where he can feel safe and secure. Additionally, he’s making great strides with house training, proving to be a quick learner who is eager to please. Ray's friendly and sociable personality extends to both kids and other dogs, making him a great choice for families or those who already have canine companions. However, it’s important to note that Ray would thrive best in a home without cats, as he prefers a feline-free environment. This sweet boy is on a heartfelt journey to find his forever home. He is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. If you’re looking for a loving, snuggly, and playful addition to your family, Ray could be the perfect fit! He’s ready to offer unconditional love and companionship, and he can’t wait to share his life with a family that will cherish him. Don’t miss the chance to bring this delightful pup into your home!

Story
Meet Demi! This 3-year-old Boxer mix is as lovable as they come. With her soft eyes, big smile, and constantly wagging tail, she’ll have you wrapped around her paw in no time. Demi is what we like to call “extra huggable” (yes, a little chunky- currently built more like a sausage than a supermodel), but that just means more to cuddle! She’s recently started a new diet, so she’s officially on her “health kick” journey—though if you ask her, she’d still prefer pizza over Pilates. Demi’s personality is just as wonderful as her looks. She’s sweet, silly, and has a way of making everyone laugh. She gets the zoomies like a puppy, does a little dance when she’s happy, and soaks up attention like it’s her job. She’s friendly with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her a perfect fit for just about any family. She’s also the full package when it comes to manners—crate trained, housebroken, spayed, and fully vaccinated. Demi is ready for her forever home, where she can keep working on her “glow-up” while spreading love, joy, and belly laughs every single day.
