Story
Please note: Penny & Ace are a bonded pair and need to be adopted togetherPenny may seem simple at first glance, but she carries immeasurable value. This senior gal is pure sweetness in a shiny copper coat, the kind of dog who reminds you that sometimes the most priceless things come in the humblest packages.Penny moves through life at a slow, steady pace—she’s not rushing to cash in on anything, just happy to follow her people from room to room and “collect” gentle pets along the way. Food is her currency of choice, and you’ll often find her politely stationed in the kitchen, hoping for a tasty deposit in her bowl.She’s house-trained, leash-trained, and has a heart richer than any bank. On walks, she strolls calmly, never making a fuss over squirrels, dogs, or loud noises. Penny is submissive and gentle with other dogs, occasionally showing a playful spark when her buddy invites her into a little tug-of-war or fetch game.Penny is the definition of a treasure: quiet, well-mannered, and incredibly loyal once she feels safe. She’s been through big changes after spending her whole life with one family, but in just a short time she’s already showing how adaptable and resilient she can be.If you’re looking for a pair of dogs who can balance “puppy joy” with “senior wisdom,” Penny (and her buddy Ace) are your winning hand. They are ready to deal out loyalty, laughter, and love—no bluffing needed. Penny & Ace would love to meet you.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Ciao! I’m Gorgonzola. I’m pretty sure I got my name because of my awesome cheesy smile. My foster parents say I’m a very goofy boy!There are plenty of reasons to be happy. I love everybody...though I am probably too exuberant for young kids. I’m a puppy who is working on not jumping when I get overly excited. I have completely mastered going outside to potty and sleeping in my cozy crate. Outside is actually my favorite place - I enjoy chasing squirrels and chewing sticks. I have fun playing fetch with my big red ball. I have mastered walking on a leash; my foster mom calls me a pro. I even sit and wait for cars to pass by or bicycles to go by. I am an expert with my commands, such as sit, down, paw, leave it, and more!My favorite part of the day is when my foster mom takes me on car ride adventures to new parks. I look forward to my nap when we get home. If you ever lose me, just look on the couch, I am probably sleeping . Do you need an energetic, fun-loving pup in your life? I’m your guy.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Please note: Ace & Penny are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.Meet Ace – the Top Card in the Deck!At roughly 9 years old, Ace proves that age is just a number—he’s still scoring points like a pro. Whether it’s fetching a ball with the energy of a rookie or strolling the neighborhood like a seasoned champ, Ace always plays his cards right. He walks like a dream on a leash, checks in often, and doesn’t let squirrels, bikes, or loud noises throw him off his game.Ace is completely house trained, knows his basic commands, and has a few tricks up his paw. He’s the kind of dog who greets you with a toy in his mouth—because in his book, life’s always more fun when there’s a little play involved. While he’s eager to join in the fun, he also has the calm, steady presence of a true veteran.If you’re looking for a pair of dogs who can balance “puppy joy” with “senior wisdom,” Ace (and his buddy Penny) are your winning hand. They are ready to deal out loyalty, laughter, and love—no bluffing needed. Ace & Penny would love to meet you.Interested in adopting this dog?

This petite bundle of sunshine is equal parts sweetness and silliness. Skylee is a friendly, floppy-eared girl who loves everyone she meets — humans and dogs alike!
