Story
Hi, I'm Dunkin! I was born on 8/6/26, and I'm a Pug / Chihuahua mix, which means I got all the goofy Pug personality but with a longer snout. My eyebrows make me look very serious, but I promise I'm mostly thinking about toys. My favorite one right now is a pink flamingo that's about as big as I am, and I carry it everywhere so nobody else gets ideas. I also like to keep an eye on whatever my humans are doing, just in case it involves snacks. I'm neutered, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines, so I'm ready to come home with you. Dunkin's adoption fee is just $350.

Story
Sprout is a high energy, lovable pup. He was born around April 2025. He is incredibly muscular and playful. He loves to play fetch and rough house with our other dog, Slate. He does dig and chew up toys, if left alone. He loves to play in water and runs around for hours. He's truly a sweet boy, but he needs more time and energy than we can provide. He is kennel trained and potty trained. He sits and waits for short periods of time, but is a bit impatient.

Story
Slate is a German Shepherd Doberman mix. He is playful and energetic! He plays tug of war, but will not fetch. He does have social anxiety and struggles when yelled at or left alone. Slate does play well with other dogs, but has only barked at cats. He is kennel trained and can sit and wait. He has been with our other dog, since they were both about 4 months, so we would love if they could stay together. But if not, he does need someone home or another dog to play with during the day!

Story
Hi, I'm Cola! Born 7/20/26, I've got what everyone here calls "resting sad face" — don't let it fool you, I promise I'm not actually sad, I'm just a quiet, thoughtful kind of guy. I like to watch and take things in before I jump into the action. I'm a Jack Russell Terrier / Cattle Dog mix, spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. I do best with people who give me a little time to warm up — once I trust you, I'll follow you everywhere. Cola's adoption fee is just $350.
