Story
Ciroc landed on our lap unintentionally, from a friend who needed us to watch him. We have had him for the last 7 years! The most loyal pit you could have. He is a senior dog, but still active and has life left in him! He is silly and loves to cuddle. He is good with other dogs and kids! Unfortunately , our daughter is extremely allergic to dogs and we can no longer hold on to him. Would love for him to go to a loving him.

Story
Meet Nacho a Small Dog. Big Attitude. Even Bigger Heart. At just 1 year old, Nacho may be pint sized, but he packs a whole lot of personality into his tiny frame. Found as a stray, he is now on the hunt for a forever home that understands the classic Chihuahua charm a little sass, a lot of loyalty, and a whole bunch of I run this place energy. True to his breed, Nacho is alert, smart, and incredibly devoted once he decides you are his person. He might give you a skeptical side-eye at first he has got standards, okay but once you are in his inner circle, he will follow you like a shadow and protect you from rogue leaves, suspicious delivery people, and possibly your own reflection. What Nacho brings to the table, 6 pounds of pure determination, a bark that says I may be small, but I’m in charge, velcro dog tendencies lap required, cuddles mandatory and a bonus side eye and dramatic flair at no extra charge. Nacho gets along well with other respectful small dogs, but he is not afraid to let the big dogs know who is boss. He would thrive in a home where he can be the star of the show or at least co captain. Due to his tiny size and bold spirit, he may do best with adults or older kids who understand Chihuahua manners. This boy attaches himself to one person and needs to go to a one owner home. Nacho is spicy, snuggly, and ready to upgrade your life with equal parts comedy and cuddles. Come meet himbut be warned once he chooses you, there is no going back.

Story
Tucker is a handsome 5 year old Greyhound mix with a big heart and even bigger energy! This playful boy lives for running and romping around outside it is his absolute favorite thing to do! Tucker can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he is all tail wags and kisses. He is done great with kids of all ages and enjoys being part of the action. He gets along well with other dogs, but cats are not his cup of tea. He sleeps in his crate at night like a champ and is fully potty trained. Super smart and eager to please, Tucker learns quickly and is always up for a fun challenge. Just a heads up food with red dye does not sit well with his tummy, so he does best on a simple diet. Tucker can be protective when strangers visit the home, but with proper introductions, he settles in. He is an energetic, outgoing guy who would thrive with an active family and a yard to zoom around in. If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion with a zest for life, Tucker might just be your perfect match!
