Story
✨ Who Julius Is Julius is a low-energy, snuggly boy who would happily spend his days curled up on the sofa with his people. He’s learned that toys are fun (tug is his favorite!) and that being a puppy can actually feel safe and joyful. He’s potty trained, loves to run outside, and enjoys playing with his foster siblings — both dogs and cats. He’s gentle, sweet, and wonderfully soft-natured. 💛 A Little Tender at First Because of his rough start, Julius can be skittish when first approached. But once he feels safe, his whole personality unfolds — he melts into affection, seeking love, reassurance, and closeness. He bonds deeply and quietly with his people. 🏡 His Ideal Home Julius will thrive with a patient, kind family who understands that confidence grows with time and trust. He’d love: • A peaceful home • A cozy place on the couch • A friendly dog or cat buddy (optional but wonderful for him) • A family who celebrates his small victories and offers gentle encouragement Julius is truly a special pup — the kind who will reward kindness with loyalty for life. If you think you could be the soft landing this sweet boy deserves, please reach out. Let’s help Julius find his forever home filled with safety, comfort, and love. ❤️🐶

Story
Harriet is a 4-month-old hound mix with the pep of a tiny whirlwind and the charm of a natural crowd-pleaser. She greets the world with an open heart and a wag that looks like it’s conducting its own little symphony. Playful, goofy, and wonderfully curious, she’s the kind of pup who can turn a simple leaf into a treasured prize and a squeaky toy into a full day’s adventure. Food and toys are her love languages, and she’ll happily show off her wiggly enthusiasm for both. Harriet gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids, weaving herself into any group like she was always meant to be there. With all her youthful energy, she’s more than ready to grow, learn, and explore right alongside her future family. She’s bright, sweet, and eager for her next chapter — all she needs now is a home ready for some joyful, puppy-powered chaos and lots of love.
