Story
Meet Cake! Cake is a sweet and loving Chihuahua mix looking for a new forever home. She was born around August 25, 2016, which makes her about 9 years old. She still has plenty of love to give and enjoys being close to her people. Cake has a gentle personality and is very affectionate. She is well trained overall and does best in a calm and patient environment. She can experience some anxiety at times, so she would thrive with an owner who can give her reassurance and a stable routine. She does have allergies, so regular grooming is important. She is currently groomed at least every two months to help keep her comfortable and healthy. She does extremely well with male dogs but not that great with dogs of the same gender. I’m posting her for my parents, as they will be moving sometime soon and they unfortunately can’t take her with them!

Story
Stuart is a companion. He will go with you to the dog park or hike if you want to go, and stay home and cuddle if that's what you're wanting too! He loves cats, and often cuddles with my cat. He can be shy around kids or other dogs at first, but once a good introduction has been done, he's fine. Would do best in a home with older kids though, as my toddler can be a bit much for him at times. His birthday is 08/08/2020. He's up to date on shots and hypoallergenic so he doesn't shed and needs to be groomed every few months. He needs to be retrained on the leash, but loves to go on walks and play fetch. Is completely house trained and crate trained at night, although he would love to sleep in the bed with you as well. He is the best dog and I am only rehoming because I have an autistic toddler that doesn't respect Stuart's space and he relaxes so much more when my son isn't home. I want him to be in a space where he is safe and calm and gets the love and attention he deserves.

Story
Greta is a princess who is looking to be a companion to someone who is home a lot and wants a cuddle buddy. She doesn't love outdoor time, will just wait at the door to go potty and come right back in. She is crate trained but would prefer to sleep in your bed. I have had her for 7 years, since she was a puppy and she is struggling to relax with my toddler and young baby in the home. She deserves a lot of attention and love and has a lot to give.

Story
Hi! This is Nani Chai, a sweet 1-year-old pup (approx.). I got her at 8 weeks old on May 16, 2025, from an unexpected litter. Due to some unexpected life changes, I’m no longer in a position to give her the time, training, and consistent care she deserves. She is currently staying with a family member, but I want to find her a home where she will receive the love, attention, and structure she truly needs. Nani is: * very sweet and affectionate * energetic and playful * a little sassy in the cutest way 😊 * in need of continued training and consistency She would do best with someone who: * has time and patience to train her * can give her regular attention and activity * is committed to providing a stable, loving home This is not an easy decision for me I love her dearly but I want what’s best for her long-term. Please message me if you’re interested or have any questions. I want to make sure she goes to a safe and loving home 🤍

Bear is an older shihpoo, 13 years old. Previously belonged to a family member. Up to date on all vaccines and heart worm test! Likes to lay in the sun and at the foot of the bed.

Story
I didn't delete my account after getting my final dog and Roscoe popped up as a match. Frankie gave me a sob story of being out of work, needing shoulder surgery and a neighbor threatening to harm Rosco.This was early November, I was lead the believe by Christmas or New Year everything would be worked out. Right from the beginning there were problems, Roscoe wasn't accustomed to the city noises around my apartment. If he got spooked he wanted to go inside even if he wasn't finished with outside business. This did cause a few accidents. He is protective and will let me know when someone comes in down stairs by barking. He thinks he should be a lap dog despite his size. He will give kisses till you make him stop. He isn't interested in my cat and loves playing with my dogs. He's deathly afraid of the spray bottle. He now knows move/get off, leave it, get out of a room and let's go. By his behavior I think he had to struggle to survive before he was taken in,he is always hungry an thirsty
