Story

Our little Winnie showed up at our door early Thanksgiving morning 2025. She was just a tiny puppy, shivering and freezing cold in the snow. We took her in and gave her love and affection. She is so darling and has the most beautiful eyes. Winnie gets along with all dogs and is absolutely wonderful with children. She does take a minute to warm up to strangers and can be very skittish at first. We have also noticed that she seems more comfortable with women than men. She loves to play and wrestle with other dogs, chase the lawnmower, pounce on her favorite toys but most of all Winnie just loves to snuggle. She is most comfortable right next to you on the couch or in bed.All of Winnie's shots are current, she is fixed and has a microchip and she is house-trained. The vet says she is in perfect health! We wish we could keep her but we already have many, many dogs.

Story

Meet Treehopper! 🌳❤️ Treehopper is a laid-back guy who takes life one sniff at a time. At our Open House event, he was an absolute star—meeting new people, hanging out around other dogs, and staying cool as a cucumber through it all. His main priorities? Soaking up affection and collecting as many treats as possible! He also did wonderfully on a pack walk with three other dogs. Treehopper enjoyed exploring the world at nose level, getting in plenty of good sniffs while peacefully walking alongside his canine companions. He's a little socially awkward and didn't initiate play, but he was perfectly happy to coexist and do his own thing. During a weekend foster stay, Treehopper proved to be the perfect house guest. He settled in nicely, had great manners, and was a joy to have around. His foster did note that he can experience some separation anxiety, so he'll likely do best with a family that's willing to help him build confidence and ease into time alone with patience and consistency. If you're looking for a gentle, easygoing companion who's happiest enjoying quiet adventures, cozy moments, and lots of love, Treehopper is ready to put down roots in his forever home.

Story

Meet Tater Tot! 🥔❤️ If you're looking for a best friend who's equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, Tater Tot is your guy! This happy-go-lucky pup loves to play, loves his people even more, and has a hilarious bonus feature—he's a total water baby! Whether it's a kiddie pool or a big splash zone, Tater Tot will happily dive right in and make a splash. What you'll get with Tater Tot: 🏡 Potty trained 🛏️ Crate trained (comfortable for 4–7 hours) 👋 Friendly with visitors 🐶 Dog-friendly with proper introductions 💦 Loves swimming and playing in water 🧸 Affectionate, playful, and loves to snuggle 🚫 No cats (his chase instinct is just too strong) 👶 Hasn't met young children, so slow introductions are recommended Tater Tot has previously lived successfully with another dog and adjusts well with a proper introduction, such as a parallel walk or fence greeting, plus a few days to decompress in his new home. After playtime, he's happiest curled up beside his favorite person soaking up all the love and attention he can get. He's the perfect mix of goofy fun and loyal companion, ready to bring smiles, laughter, and plenty of tail wags to his forever family. If you're ready for a dog who will keep you active, make you laugh, and happily snuggle up at the end of the day, come meet Tater Tot!
