Story
Reggie is a really sweet girl! She takes well to training, is good with cats and is super food motivated. An absolute love bug and is kennel trained (she loves her kennel). Sadly my older dog does not get along with her and we have had a lot of tension in the house. Reggie would do best being the only dog in the house as she has gotten into scuffles with our older female. She is overall good with dogs, just not living with them. She will come with all her necessary items. We just what to find her a home she can truly thrive in

Story
We adopted Momo in October 2024 from an Arizona shelter; estimated to be approx. year old at that time. We're hoping to find a home that will be able to give him the love and attention that pugs require. Since we adopted him, I've undergone a career change with a demanding schedule that also requires us to move a lot and my wife has just had our first child. As such, the logistics of transporting the dog in conjunction with the strained schedules and the new concern with how he will interact with the newborn has caused us to consider finding him a new home. More about Momo: energetic, very playful, licks a lot, sleeps a ton, and performs zoomies when he is excited; trained to let us know when he needs to go out. Barking is minimal compared with other toy breeds. He gets very "playful" excited (tail up and wagging) around cars, people, and pets. He has his rabies shot, though we refrained from other shots. We completely understand if his new owners requires further vaccinations.

Story
Hi, I'm Bobbie! I'm a sweet, friendly, and gentle soul who loves cuddles. Although I'm a bit shy, I warm up quickly to new friends. I'm still mastering the art of leash walking and car rides can be a bit nerve wracking for me, but I'm eager to learn with someone patient and kind who can give me time to adjust to the world around me. I dream of finding a forever home where I can share all my love. Adopting me means gaining a loyal and loving companion who will cherish every moment with you.
