Story
Toby is a very sweet chocolate yorkipoo. Unfortunately, Toby has severe separation anxiety. It has been that way from the first day we met. It has gradually improved over the past year but still can be difficult to manage. Toby would do amazing with someone who can be around a lot. (A family, retired individual, SAHM, work-from-home situation, etc. would definitely be a great fit for Toby.) I live alone and have a busy work schedule. I gave up one of my jobs recently (for various reasons) which has helped Toby to have company. But I can’t do that forever. Toby does amazing with my friend’s family (4 people, several pets) and I think it’s because he always has human contact (someone is usually at home or if everyone is away, it’s very brief). He LOVES to be held and cuddled. In fact, he’ll almost sigh in relief at being held.

Canela is a beautiful brown German Shepherd with a gentle, loyal spirit. She’s affectionate with people and loves being part of the action, whether that’s playing outside or relaxing nearby while you work. Canela is very smart and eager to please — she just needs a little continued training and structure to reach her full potential. She’s about [insert age], healthy, and full of energy, making her a wonderful match for an active person or family who can give her daily exercise and attention. Canela will thrive in a home with space to play and someone who will appreciate her loving, protective nature. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with a big heart, Canela is ready to meet you!

Budge

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Budge. He is a very cuddly boy who likes to lap sit and sleep in your bed, if permitted. He takes the leash and a harness, but he’s not happy about it. He was used to roaming freely. He’s quiet most of the time, likes to play for brief periods and loves his treats. I hope someone can give him a forever home. I’ve only had him for a few months, so we are still getting to know each other. I lost my housing and have no way to care for him properly. He’s a good little man and a fine companion.
