Story
Playful, Loving Puppy Looking for a Forever Home 🐶 This sweet pup was born on October 18, 2025 and has a happy, playful, and active personality. He loves to run, play, and explore, and he’s also incredibly lovable and affectionate. He gets along well with other dogs and has been raised in a family environment, making him social and well-adjusted. He would be a great fit for an active household or a family looking for a fun, loving companion to grow up with. This puppy comes from a family dog litter, and while he has been well cared for, we are unable to keep all of the puppies. We are focused on finding him a safe, responsible, and loving home where he can thrive. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and energetic puppy, this little guy could be the perfect match.

Story
*UPDATED* With the addition of a daily medication, her reactivity has improved so much daycare employees have said she's a totally different dog. Cleo is a soulful, snuggly 3-year-old, 20 lb pup who’s come a long way since being rescued off the streets. Once a very shy, unsure girl, she’s learning to trust strangers more and more and face the world with more confidence. She can be apprehensive around new dogs and resource guard. She does tend to nip or yelp dramatically if there's something she doesn't like (like her bum being touched), so she still needs someone patient, consistent, and confident in setting boundaries as she continues to build better coping skills. She bonds deeply to her person. Once you’re hers, she’ll shower you with cuddles + loyalty. Cleo would do best with someone experienced working with anxious or protective dogs. She could potentially live with another calm, non-confrontational dog—but a solo-dog home may be ideal to limit jealousy or resource guarding.

Story
I really need help finding the right home for Champion, 3-year-old Jindo mix. With a young infant at home, I can no longer give him the time, structure, and attention he truly deserves. He is not aggressive and has been a family dog; he’s loyal, intelligent, crate trained, and house-trained as long as he gets two walks a day. He may be shy at first, but he warms up and bonds closely with his person. Champion would thrive in an active home that can provide regular exercise, walks, and playtime — he enjoys trips to the dog park and being part of daily adventures.

Story
Found Dog Looking for a Loving Home 🐾 This young dog unexpectedly found her way to our house and has been staying with us temporarily. Unfortunately, our household is already very crowded, and we are unable to keep her long-term. She is extremely friendly, sweet, playful, and active. She loves people, enjoys attention, and has a happy, outgoing personality. She would do great in a home that can give him the time, space, and affection he deserves. We are hoping to find a responsible, loving home that can provide proper care, stability, and companionship. If you recognize her or are interested in giving this sweet dog a forever home, please reach out.

Story
***EDIT*** Tija is at the IVHS as we speak! I so want to know she’s out of there!! Can someone please 🙏🏻 foster her!!*** We rescued Tija in 2020 after I had to let my fur-son of 18yrs cross that rainbow bridge one month prior! I originally posted I’d prefer Tija & my mom’s lap-doggo, Tommy, to be adopted out as a bonded pair BUT I understand not everyone can take both & also understand they may be separated! Tija is always up for a good time, loves to run & play, loves walks, loves to be right by your side snuggled up!! Tija gets along with just about every one & every thing! Tija lived with a cat the whole time we had her! Tija was around my newborn granddaughter(2021) her whole time with us, she protected my granddaughter to this day, her bff! 🥹😭 Tija is great with babies to pre-teens! Tija is a very loyal, sweet, goofy, derpy companion…this hurts me to do but we have moved & no pets allowed! 😭🥹

Story
***EDIT***Tommy is(or was) at IVHS as we speak! I cannot see him on the list anymore & cannot reach them to find out! He may have been adopted!!*** Tommy was rescued in 2021! Tommy was to be a playmate for Tija(another doggo we have listed here) Tommy became my mamas lapdog & loved sitting/laying next to her…when mama passed I kept Tommy because he was family!! 🥹💔🥰 Tommy loves hugs, kisses & pets and will smile to get your love! Tommy would be happy on your lap or going for a walk/run & play with toys! I originally posted both dogs(Tija-J is silent) as a bonded pair but understand, not everyone can accommodate TWO doggos & willing to adopt one! If that will get them out of shelters/rescues, then they must be separated! If you are interested in a loveable lapdog, then Tommy is your boy!
