Story
Max is a lover boy! He’s a great cuddler, a great protector, and in need of a forever home. He was taken in due to a family friend’s illness and could no longer be taken care of at his original home. We’ve been watching over him for a few months now, but our home is not suited for him long term. But he is the sweetest little guy! He is a 8 years old, but has all sprite of a young pup. He loves walks, playtime, his toys, and to veg out with you on the couch. He loves loves loves women, and would do well with in a quiet home or with an elderly couple. He’s a bit anxious, as is typical of his breed. He snuggles up under you at night or with loud sounds. He’s a sweet boy. He deserves a nice place to call home.

Story
Nala is an 8-month-old sweetheart looking for an active, loving home. She was adopted in November, but my senior dog has become territorial and hasn’t adjusted to having a puppy around. Nala deserves a home where she has space to play and continue growing. She’s crate trained, on a potty schedule, walks well on a leash, and does great in public. She loves playing with my 3-year-old dog and has never shown aggression. She hasn’t been around children yet. Kennel, leash, food, and grooming kit included.She deserves the best forever family!

Story
Arlo is the sweetest boy when he gets to know you but is incredibly anxious in new situations and around other animals. We rescued him as a puppy about 6 years ago and have loved him so dearly, but after having major surgery for a torn ACL two months ago, he is no longer doing well around other animals and it is urgent that we find a new home for him. An ideal new home for Arlo would be with someone compassionate who does not have other pets, loves a big lap dog, and is experienced dealing with a dog with complex needs.

📋 RESUME: Professional CuddlebugName: Pibble DibblePosition Desired: Full-Time Best Friend / Emotional Support Forehead⭐ Qualifications* Expert Cuddler: Will press her face directly against you when you’re sad, annoyed, or simply available.* People Person: Absolutely thrilled to see her favorite human. Expect a dramatic welcome home every single time. * Dog Experience: Has successfully lived with and loved multiple resident dogs.* Crate Certified: Crate trained and ready to clock in!* Culinary Standards: Extremely enthusiastic about dry kibble. No complaints. Ever. ⚠️ Areas for Professional Development* Stranger Danger: Requires slow introductions and time to decide if you’re cool enough to be in her posse. * Leash Etiquette: Has strong opinions about other pets in public and may express them.
