Story
Enzo has been such a special part of our lives. We got him from a family near Fresno who had several corgis available for adoption. From the moment we met him, we knew he was the one. Now at three years old, Enzo is full of personality and energy. Enzo absolutely loves attention — he would happily spend 24/7 by your side if he could! He enjoys eating (he never misses a meal), playing with his toys, running around, and just having fun. He has a playful spirit and brings so much joy to any room. After done playing, he loves to lay down right next to you and relax. He isnt a big fan of tight hugs, but he definitely loves cuddles and being close to his people. Enzo is affectionate, loyal, playful, energetic, and sweet. We are looking for a new home for him because our schedules have become extremely busy, and we want him to have the time, attention, and love he truly deserves. Enzo would do best in a home where he can get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship.

Story
Poppy is 10 years old and weighs around 20 pounds. We adopted her as a 3 month old puppy. Sadly, while we would love nothing more than to keep her, we need to rehome her due to a change in our family / home situation and our ability to continue to care of her. She is spayed and healthy. She is a really playful, happy and inquisitive dog who loves to befriend anyone and everyone. She is best suited for a home where she is the only pet or maybe one smaller dog or cat if they happen to get along. She is friendly with children but tends to do better with older children. She is a good companion dog and needs only one short walk a day or goes to backyard as needed. She’s also fully trained not to destroy any furniture, household objects or clothes (although she may steal your socks if you keep them within reach!). Please email Goodday990@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting her.

Story
Meet Houdini! Houdini is a Husky/Retriever mix with the perfect balance of adventure buddy and cuddle companion. He loves staying active outdoors just as much as he enjoys snuggling up with his people. He's great with other dogs and does best with slow, positive introductions to new people. Houdini has completed a confidence-building program with me and has made wonderful progress in social settings. He currently has solid skills in: Leash walking, off-leash reliability, and obedience foundations. Houdini would thrive in a home (no apartments, please) with or without other dogs. He'll do best with someone willing to continue building on his training and confidence. Additional perks: Crate trained, potty trained, food motivated (great for training!), loves to play ball! If you're looking for a loyal, smart, and active companion, Houdini might be your perfect match. A professional dog trainer is lined up to support Houdini's new family, free of charge, to set everyone up for success!
