Story
Ottis is a teddy bear with beautiful markings. He loves interacting with people and other dogs. He often gets the zoomies. We are estimating Ottis to be about 10 years old. But doesn’t act his age. Unfortunately, with our lifestyles at this time, he is not getting the proper attention he needs. He needs to get into a new home with a family that can pay more attention to him and go outside and play with him. So he can play, play, play like he loves to do.

Story
I am a happy, affectionate 11-month-old pup looking for a dedicated family who has the time and love to help me thrive.The Awesome Stuff About Me:Kids & Pets: I love children and I also get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats!Great Habits: I am already fully crate trained and walk well on a leash. I am also house trained.What My Ideal Family Looks Like:I am still a young, energetic puppy with a lot of potential. Because my current family has an incredibly busy schedule, I haven't been getting the consistent attention I need. When I get bored, I like to find things to chew on, so I will need plenty of durable toys and puzzle games. I love to play fetch with a tennis ball. I am curious and i like exploring. I’m looking for an adopter who is excited to provide the daily exercise, mental stimulation, and basic boundary training I still need. If you have the time and patience to guide a sweet, loving pup, I promise to reward you.

Looking for a loving forever home for our beautiful, sweet girl. ❤️ With a new baby and living in the desert, we can’t give her the time and attention she deserves. She’s friendly, happy, very chill, and loves relaxing around the house and getting pets. We’re hoping to find her a loving home where she’ll get lots of attention and outdoor time.

Story
Our sweet boy is turning 8 this year and is looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his favorite things—cuddles, naps, and being close to his person. He has always been very laid-back and is happiest relaxing, snuggling, and enjoying a peaceful day. He is house trained, sleeps independently, has beautiful blue eyes, and a gorgeous coat that we keep shorter during the summer. We love him dearly, but as our family has grown, we’ve realized that a home with young children isn’t the best environment for him. The energy and frequent attempts to play can be stressful for him. At this stage of his life, we believe he would thrive in a quiet, child-free home where he can receive lots of love and attention. He has been successfully adopted before and lived happily with another family for about a year and a half before they had to move and could no longer keep him. He adjusted wonderfully to their home and was very loved. He truly is a good boy. 💙
