Story
 Meet Crue — A Gentle Soul Ready for Her Second Chance  At just 10 months old, Crue has already faced more than her fair share of hardship. At only 6 months, she landed in an overcrowded shelter as a Code Red, with her future hanging by a thread. With just 15 minutes to spare, a rescue stepped in — and that moment changed everything. In the four months since, Crue has quietly revealed who she truly is when given safety and time: a soft, sensitive, and deeply canine-oriented girl who thrives alongside other dogs. While she can be shy with new people, her confidence blossoms in the presence of her dog friends, making her an ideal companion for a confident, social pup. &#226&#156&#168 What Crue needs to thrive: A patient, loving home willing to let her move at her own pace A dog sibling to help guide and reassure her Understanding that trust is built gently — and beautifully Crue may take a little time to settle into a forever family, but what she gives in return is something truly special. With love, patience, and consistency, she will show just how kind, loyal, and deserving she is of a life filled with comfort and belonging.  Crue isn’t broken — she’s becoming. And she’s ready for someone who believes in second chances.January 19, 2026, 1:26 pm

#ADOPTABLE&#226&#157&#163 #Behe #BichonBoys 1 Year Old Bichon/Maltipoo Mix Neutered/UTD Vaccines/Microchips Meet Behe Behe is a 1-year-old male Bichon/Maltese mix under 20 pounds with a soft coat and an even softer soul. Like many sensitive pups, Behe is naturally shy at first. But once he feels safe, his affectionate and devoted personality shines. He bonds deeply with his people and loves gentle reassurance. He’s the kind of companion who will quietly curl up beside you and make your house feel like home. A home with a yard is best! Behe is currently learning potty training and leash skills and is doing wonderfully with consistency. Also great in a crate. He’s eager to learn and truly wants to make his people proud. He will need regular grooming. He does experience some anxiety when left alone, so no long hours and maybe another canine pal. A calm home, steady routine, and patient love will help him blossom into the confident little companion he’s meant to be. Older considerate kids He gets along well with other dogs, especially with slow, respectful introductions. Sweet. Sensitive. So deserving of a forever family. If you have room in your heart for a gentle boy who just needs a little time to shine, Behe may be your perfect match.

Story
Milo is a 7 (?) year old male chihuahua mix.  He's timid around new people but is loving and playful once you've gained his trust.  He's a goofy boy with tons of personality.  He likes to play with other smaller dogs but is a bit fearful of high-energy larger dogs.  Milo would do best in a quieter household without young children.  His favorite things are going for walks and his stuffed giraffe.  He also loves to snuggle up with his human on the couch or in bed.  Milo is filled with love to share with a person or family who will give him a chance.September 21, 2025, 2:11 pm
