Story
Meet Carol! Look who is all healthy and ready to find the perfect home - Carol!! We posted about Carol a couple of weeks before Christmas. She had been adopted from a metro area county shelter, returned when she got sick, and she just wasn’t getting any better in the crowded shelter. Since the strain of respiratory infections found in the shelters lately is highly contagious, the only way we could have helped Carol is if someone without their own dogs at home volunteered to foster her. Thankfully, Natalia did and since that days she’s been Carol’s Guardian Angel! Not only nursing her back to health but working on all sorts of skills (like making friends with cats) that will make her an amazing best friend for one special person! Carol is a petite 8 lb terrier mix, about 2 years old, with a wiry salt-and-pepper coat, white feathery legs and tail, and big soulful eyes that make her look like a living stuffed animal. After beating a nasty respiratory infection, this brave little girl has finally relaxed enough to let her sweet, playful personality shine. She loves going for walks, taking in all the smells, and checking back to be sure she’s following your lead, making her an easy companion for neighborhood strolls, coffee runs, and shopping trips. Her size makes her the most enthusiastic errand buddy and just right for curling up under an airplane seat on your next adventure together. In her foster home, she’s been the perfect house guest: fully potty trained, housebroken, and doing great with her crate training, all while living peacefully with dogs, cats, and even farm animals.Carol is looking for a family who wants a close companion to share everyday life, from errands to evening TV snuggles. She’d love another friendly animal sibling to play with but would also thrive as the center of attention—if you’re searching for a small dog with a big heart and an even bigger will to love, Carol might be your girl.

Story
    Meet Tommie Truffles I’m Tommie Truffles—but my foster mom sometimes calls me “Truffles” (or “Trubbles” when I’m being extra silly).  But don’t worry because I am as sweet as my name - I’m more sweetness than trouble! I’m about a year and a half old, around 50 pounds, and finally looking and feeling my best after a tough start in life. Now I’m clean, fluffy, healthy, and soaking up every joy of puppyhood for the very first time. I’m a playful, curious, and smart boy who thinks sticks, stones, and pinecones are life’s greatest treasures. Most of all, I love people—my tail starts wagging the moment I see a new friend. I know “sit” and am learning more every day. Sometimes I still bounce with excitement, so I’d do best in a home without very small kids. I’m energetic, funny, and a little stubborn (in the most charming way), which means I need someone who will keep my mind and body busy. I walk nicely on a leash, ride calmly in the car, and even hang out quietly at my foster mom’s office. At night, I’ve graduated from the crate to the bed, but when left alone, crating is still best for me since I’ve got that puppy spark. Tommie Truffles is happy, healthy, and ready for his forever adventure. Could that be with you?   Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          January 15, 2026, 12:11 am

Story
Bailey was given to me by a coworker. I deal with anxiety and wanted an emotional support animal. However, it sensed like she needed me just as much as I needed her. Bailey likes to be loved on with rubs, but kisses, and snacks. She is a very shy dog and doesn’t trust easily. I’d like to find Bailey a home where she’s loved, wanted, and with owner who have the time to train her and spend time with her.
