Story

It breaks my heart to write this, but we are looking to rehome our dog, Jet. This decision has not been made lightly, and we truly want what’s best for him. He is a 3-year-old pitbull/lab mix who is very loving, and has so much personality. He enjoys playing, cuddling, going on walks, car rides, etc., and has brought us so much joy. Unfortunately, he has been showing increasing aggression toward other animals, and we believe he would do best in a home where he is the only pet. He needs an environment where he can feel safe, secure, and properly supported. We are looking for someone experienced and patient who can give him the time, attention, and structure he needs to thrive. He deserves a home that can meet his needs fully❤️

Story

I’m Lia and I was reading the notes from my previous owners and boy do I have a laundry list of adjectives! Loving, friendly, affectionate, easy going, sweet, smart, obedient, independent…need I go on? I lived with adults, kids and another dog; I love playing with children, my favorite sport is running and I’ll happily accept attention from anyone offering. I lived mostly outside so will need to learn the skills of being a house dog but remember, I’m smart so I should be an excellent student. I’m looking forward to meeting you, going home and adding to my list - something like “Lia is the BEST dog ever!”

Story

Meet our sweet little lady—a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix with a heart as soft as her fluffy coat. This gentle girl is the perfect blend of playful and cuddly. She loves following her favorite humans around, always curious and eager to be part of the moment, but she’s just as happy curling up in a cozy spot for a nap. With her bright eyes and adorable button nose, she has a way of melting hearts wherever she goes. She’s affectionate, loyal, and thrives on companionship—whether it’s quiet snuggle time or a lighthearted play session. Her friendly nature makes her a wonderful companion for families, singles, or anyone looking for a loving best friend. This little sweetheart brings joy, comfort, and a whole lot of love into every day. 💕🐾
