Story
Pepper is approximately 5 years old and was adopted from the local animal shelter when he was 8 months old. Pepper has attended doggy daycare since he was adopted and also completed two weeks of boarded training. Unfortunately, we, his dog parents, did not maintain his training, but he still knows several commands (sit, stay, off, leave it). Pepper had is annual physical with vaccinations and the annual heartworm shot in May 2026. Pepper is very loving and gets along well with female dogs in the home. He plays with male dogs at school, however, he does not do well with other male dogs in the home. Pepper is good with older kids, but because of his size, it is hard for us to have him around our toddler aged grandkids. Pepper is a large dog and needs exercise and a yard big enough for him to run.

Story
Meet Leda - she is the sister to Vega. Leda is a sweet and caring girl. She is extremely affectionate and loves a cuddle. She is the calmer of the two girls and can spend her day lounging around, but she does really love playing fetch and running around outside too! Leda has never been without her sister Vega, so rehoming both together would be ideal. Leda would be best suited to a family who will enjoy all the misses and cuddles she has to give. She is great with other dogs, cats, children/babies.

Story
This is Vega - she is the sister of Leda. Vega is a charismatic soul. She loves kisses and cuddles and is very much driven by food! Vega enjoys playing with her sister, taking naps, and running around playing fetch throughout the day. Vega would be well suited to somebody who loves cuddling just as much as she does and can handle big dogs. Vega has never been apart from her sister Leda, so rehoming them together would be ideal.

Story
Mezcalito is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who came into my life through a former roommate. He is a very sweet, loving, and friendly dog who enjoys being around people and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He has a gentle personality and adapts well to new environments once he feels comfortable.Some words I would use to describe Mezcalito are affectionate, loyal, friendly, gentle, playful, and well-mannered. He loves companionship and would do best in a home where he receives plenty of love, attention, and care.This is a very difficult decision for me, but due to unexpected financial hardships and housing instability, I am seeking assistance and find a new family for him so that Mezcalito can remain safe and well cared.
