Story
Sweet 10-year-old small companion dog looking for a quiet, loving home Cookie is a 10-year-old senior dog who thrives in a calm, quiet environment where he can receive plenty of love and attention. Ideally, we hope to find a senior person or someone who spends a lot of time at home and would enjoy his gentle companionship. He has a sweet and calm temperament and does well around children and other animals. Due to his age and breed, Cookie has lost most of his front teeth, so his mouth needs to be gently wiped after meals. Aside from this minor oral care, he is a healthy, gentle, and easygoing little dog who simply enjoys being close to his people.

Story
Ollie is a wonderful pug who was found as a stray. Little is known about his history. He is lovely company and would do fantastic with a family or someone who is retired where he could have someone home with him constantly. He is estimated roughly at 5 years old. The reason I am rehoming him is that he pees in the house. I work full time, a dog walker comes to take him out during the day but this is still an issue that I am not home frequently enough to be consistent in treating this problem. I’m devastated to have to make this decision. I am looking for a good home where he will have people around more consistently.

Hound (Unknown Type) Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Story
4 year old Lola is a survivor. She was pregnant and living on the side of a river, and surviving from scraps from a stranger. Eventually a kind stranger managed to get her and her puppies into shelter. Lola is a beautiful Mexican special mix – her pups look like small black labs – she may be a shepherd x terrier x lab mix. She’s her own mix of very special girl. Lola is lower energy, but spins in excitement if you might be so kind to toss her a ball, or when her dinner is ready. Check her out here: https://www.instagram.com/pvcaanimalrescue/reel/DR-vk8YksCo/ Lola is careful with strangers at first but also VERY affectionate. Lola isn’t keen to go far – she prefers the safety of the sanctuary – perhaps worried she may be dumped again. She is looking for a quiet loving home. She is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. If you think you might be a fit, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com. Please check your junk mail for our response.

Story
Sweet Sandy, born February 2025 was already on the street at a young age. A kind rescuer would see her out chasing chickens, hungry and alone, and took her into foster care. Sandy is a mixed breed, whippet x terrier, currently weighing 33 lbs, we estimate she may be 39 lbs full grown. Sandy is living in a foster home with multiple dogs and cats. She is playful with all dogs, and even safe playing with the tiniest of them. Sandy is friendly with people but likes to go slowly when strangers visit to be sure that they are safe to cuddle. Sandy has not been tested with kids. Sandy is house trained, walks well on leash, and has been okay when left alone in her foster home. Sandy is looking for adventure, and would like an active home where she can run and play, and even some enrichment for her big brain. Not only is Sandy beautiful, but also healthy, spayed and vaccinated. Sandy is looking for her very own family and would love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com (Please check your spam for our response in case it has made its way there)
