Story
Hi, I’m Brutus. Yes, I’m technically an adult dog… but spiritually I am a large enthusiastic puppy who hasn’t quite realized how big he is yet. My favorite hobbies include: Melting dramatically into my person for pets Supervising work calls by snoring in the background Learning new things so I can hear “good boy” (my favorite phrase) I’m already a pretty responsible dude. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I sleep through the night like a champ. In the mornings I enjoy some training time and a nice walk before settling in for my important daytime job: Professional Napper During Zoom Meetings. I’m a very attentive boy and I really love my person. I’m the kind of dog who checks in, listens, and tries hard to get it right. I’m smart and eager to please, which means training is actually pretty fun for me. Now, I do get very excited about other dogs sometimes. My brain goes “FRIEND? PLAY? ZOOM?!” a little faster than my manners can keep up. The good news is I’m already learning how to handle my excitement and getting better every day with guidance. Because I’m a big, smart working-breed mix, I’ll do best with someone who enjoys continuing my training and giving me structure. Think of me as a dog who comes with extra potential and a big goofy personality. One important note: cats are not my thing. I saw one once and… let’s just say I had very strong feelings about it. So a cat-free home is required. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, a big cuddle bug, and a dog who wants to learn everything with you, I might be your guy. Also I will absolutely sit on your feet and lean my entire body weight into you for pets.You’ve been warned. — Brutus ##2681217##

Story
Sweet as her name and twice as delightful, Reeses is a 2-month-old bundle of puppy joy! This playful little girl is full of energy, curiosity, and tail wags. She loves chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, and showing off her adorable zoomies that will keep you entertained for hours. Reeses absolutely adores pets and cuddles. A gentle belly rub or a scratch behind the ears instantly turns her into a happy, wiggly ball of love. She thrives on attention and already enjoys being close to her people — she just wants to be your little sidekick! As a young puppy, Reeses is still learning all about the world. She’ll need patience, consistency, and positive training to help her grow into the well-mannered, confident dog you want her to become. With the right guidance and lots of love, she’ll blossom into a loyal companion who will be by your side for years to come.  If you’re ready for sweet puppy kisses, playful adventures, and a best friend who will grow right alongside you, Reeses is ready to steal your heart!
