Meet Falcor: A 12 lb one year old Never Ending Snuggle Buddy. Yes his name is Falcor like the luck dragon…no he cannot fly. He will though steal your heart in about 3.7 seconds. This adorable wire haired terrier comes equipped with the most ridiculous tiny human lips and nose you’ve ever seen. Seriously, He looks like he borrowed them from a tiny retired accountant :).

Falcor’s hobbies include giving full on neck hugs,delivering kisses,playing with all the toys,making friends with everyone,and staring into your soul for treats and taxes on whatever you’re eating. He is GREAT with all the dogs,cats,kittens,kids… even annoying ones..strangers he can take a few mins to warm up. Hand him a treat and give him a min…he’ll be your BFF. He is crate trained,walks on a leash like a dream,working hard on potty training and nearly there. All Falcor wants is lots of love,hugs,toys ,and to be part of your Never Ending Story. ….well okay, and treats. He really enjoys treats and chew bones,and toys… 🎵 “ Turn around….look at what you see…” 🎶 ….prob Falcore waiting for a treat. Falcor actually is the perfect little dog.

Story
Meet Jefe! He is a beautiful, large 11-month-old pup who was just recently pulled from a local shelter. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected and sudden landlord lease disapproval immediately after bringing him home, I am heartbreakingly forced to find him a new family right away. Jefe is a giant sweetheart with a very calm, laid-back personality. He is wonderfully lazy and perfectly content to lounge around the house. He has a lovely, independent, and slightly aloof nature, meaning he isn't overly demanding or clingy, but he is incredibly sweet and gentle once he settles in with you. Because he is a big, growing boy, he would do best in a home that welcomes large dogs and can give him a cozy place to relax. He will be a loyal, low-key companion for anyone looking for a sweet, quiet giant. He deserves a stable forever home that can give him the space and love he needs!

Story
Peanut ( male ) Peanut is a super sweet boy, who gets along with other male dogs, and females! He is always quick to say hello to someone walking his way, and is just so cute!! He does okay on leash, he needs some work, but I've definitely seen worse lol. He just needs some reassurance sometimes. He is completely addicted to food. Of all kinds! Which is going to make training much easier ! He's learning to stay on the ground instead of jumping on you, but we're still working on that lol. He has such a kind heart, who just wants to love on you!
