Web- Terrier/pit bull. Male 11 months Look at that face…. Web melts your heart with the longing in those puppy eyes. He is an adorable little guy who is just the perfect size.

Story
We have an update from Airbnb’s foster!🐾 He is a sweet, gentle boy. He's still hanging out on the love seat with his toys and treats for the most part. He is very good with his potty pads. He's slowly showing personality and it is a beautiful one. I think he's quite a long way from going outside, but that's OK. He likes gentle pets and quiet times. He likes when we go to bed so he can do his business🤭 he's really a precious boy. ❤️We couldn’t be more proud of Airbnb’s slow, but steady, progress!!

Story
Archie-Male Chihuahua/ Mix ** Sweet Senior Alert** Archie may have some grey on his muzzle, but he has plenty of zip in his step! Archie is 9 years old and ready to get back into a home. He is as spunky as he is cute. He sat great for his photos and treats and seems to be an all around sweet guy. Favorite trait: When you scratch his backside, he marches his back paws alternating with such emphasis that you think he’s standing on something hot. 🤣. Absolutely adorable. He walks well on leash… or you could just snuggle and carry him. 😊. Snatch him up, scratch that back and love him for his eternity! If interested in this slightly older gentlemen, apply for Archie today! Go to tapsshelter.org to fill out an application.
