Story
🐾 Meet Lacy! A 7 year old, 13lb terrier mix witha PhD in comfort. Lacy's idea of a perfect day? Sleeping somewhere soft, carpet, blankets, sweaters, your bed (especially your bed). She'll carefully root around until everything is just right, then settle in like a tiny queen She's very affectionate, on her terms of course, and loves chest and face scratches, stop too soon and she'll politely lick you to request more. Lace really enjoys car rides, treats of all kinds (extra points for Peanut Crunch biscuits), and will happily supervise all kitchen activity. She also has a special fondness for dirty laundry, which she considers an excellent chew toy - smelly socks left unattended at their own risk 🧦😅 Lacy walks pretty well on leash but may need a little encouragement around other dogs as she's still building up her confidence. Crate-wise, she's doing well and just needs a few treats and a little reassurance. House training is almost perfect! The very occasional accident but she's learning fast to let you know when she needs to piddle! 🥇 Important notes for her future home: Lacy is sensitive about how she's handled if touched in ways she doesn't like (no butt pats, please). Because of this, she's best suited to an adult-only home with people who understand canine boundaries and body language 🧠🐶 If you're looking for a loyal little companion who bonds deeply with her people, Lacy may just be your girl. She doesn't trust easily, but when she does, you feel it ❤️ She deserves a loving, safe, forever home. Could it be with you? *Lacy is not tested with cats

Story
Say hello to Lou Lou Who, though we call him Louie for short. This 1-year-old, 6-pound Chinese Crested mix might be tiny, but he has a personality that fills the whole room and he is looking for his "chosen person"! He loves his naps (especially on the bed with his foster mom) and is a big fan of "slim" stuffed animals. When he wakes up, watch out for the zoomies! He is incredibly playful and full of energy. ⚡ Louie is a total sweetheart with some of the cutest quirks we've ever seen: ♥️The "Nose-Poke": Because his tongue doesn't go straight out of his mouth, he pokes you with his nose to give you "kisses". 🤗He is a loyal lap dog who loves napping with his foster mom. Louie is shy at first, but once he chooses you, he is loyal to the core. 🐕‍🦺He loves other dogs so much that he prefers to sleep right on top of his larger foster siblings rather than beside them. 🛏️He is a pro in his kennel and associates it with treats and mealtime. 🚶Louie is currently nervous on a leash and isn't a big fan of walks yet, though he will tolerate short ones. 🩺Important Update: Louie is currently on a medical hold. He has a damaged jaw, and we are working with our vets to diagnose the issue and ensure he gets the care he needs. Additionally, his house training is still a work in progress, so he'll need a patient family ready to help him learn the ropes. 🚽 Follow us for updates on his medical journey! 🐾 Of note: He is great around birds and shows no interest in them. His history with cats is currently unknown.

Story
Meet Snickers 🍫💗 — a sweet, soulful blind 4 year old French bulldog who's all about the cozy life. Snickers is a low-energy, calm girl who loves being with her people. She's wonderful with kids and does great with other dogs, especially the calmer types. She hasn't been tested with cats yet, but her easygoing nature suggests she'd likely be just fine. Despite being blind, Snickers is confident and unbothered by fast movements. She's still learning the ropes with leash walking, and does not love short strolls - she prefers to stay home. At night she sleeps soundly in her crate, and during the day she's getting better with a little reassurance. She's fully house trained, has no destructive habits, and comes with an adorable soundtrack of grunts, snores, and happy little noises 😴🐽. One of her favorite pastimes? Randomly sitting down to contemplate life — it's as cute as it sounds. Snickers isn't into toys, but treats are her love language 🍪 She adores snuggling, being handled, and soaking up affection from her humans. If you're looking for a gentle companion who will happily keep you company on the couch, Snickers might just be your perfect match 💕🐾 My adoption fee is $800.
