Story
Is your little dog or cat lonely? Mia would LOVE a little buddy (or two, or three!) to spend her days with. Mia is a beautiful 7-year-old pittie mix who loves to snuggle and be with her people. This super-smart girl is kennel trained, potty trained, and good with small animals – including cats! In fact, Mia LOVES littles so much that she would really enjoy having a small buddy to romp around with. She is very gentle with her friends (some as small as five pounds!) and takes care to respect their space. Some of Mia’s favorite things are going on morning walks, sunbathing on the rocks, getting a full-body massage, and snuggling on a dog bed with a stuffed animal. Occasionally, Mia will get a case of the zoomies, but she’s mostly calm and chill, and hangs out with the other small pups all day. Are you looking for a low-key, easy keeper? Mia could be your girl! Please first fill out an adoption application if you’re interested in setting up an appointment to meet Mia. **$100 adoption fee includes: vaccinations, spay, dewormed, labwork, and microchipped.

Story
🎉 Meet Nola, the adorable black pug who's ready to steal your heart! After welcoming her pups in April, this playful girl is now on the lookout for her forever home. Though she's still a pup herself, Nola is a bundle of energy, joy, and affection. She loves cuddles, being held, and playing with other dogs, so her ideal home will have at least one other pup of similar size and activity level. 🌟 Nola's journey began as a stray, but her gentle spirit and loving nature have shone through every step of the way. She's a true people person who craves love and thrives on cuddle sessions with her human companions. While she may seem a bit timid at first, you'll quickly see just how affectionate and friendly she really is. 🐾 Nola is mostly potty trained and is also kennel trained. She adores playing with toys and running around in the yard, so a home with a backyard would be perfect for her. With patience and positive reinforcement, she'll continue to blossom into the perfect furry family member. We are requesting her forever home have at least one other pup of similar size and energy level. 🏡 If you're ready to open your heart and home to Nola, don't wait! Let's give this sweet girl the loving forever home she's been dreaming of, where she can feel safe, cherished, and surrounded by love. Nola has already been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped and is ready to join your family today. Reach out now and make Nola's dreams come true! 🌈❤️
