Story
Meet Annie, a charming, medium mixed-breed female dog who is nearly a year old and eagerly waiting for her forever home! This sweet girl has a heart full of love and is already a house-trained superstar, making her transition into your family seamless. Annie adores her creature companions and gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats alike. She also thrives in the company of older children, though she'll need a little help remembering just how big she is—her enthusiasm sometimes outweighs her grace! Her favorite pastimes include competitive games of tug-of-war and post-play session snuggles; she’s an excellent cuddle partner when the day is done. While Annie has a slight case of separation anxiety (she just misses her people!), she's full of potential and ready to work on it with patience and positive reinforcement. She is currently working on her leash manners and would benefit from a family committed to consistent leash training. Are you looking for a loving companion who is ready to play and snuggle? Come meet Annie and see if she’s the perfect match for your home!

Story
Meet Waylon, a 10-year-old wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier who definitely hasn't read the rule book on aging! Despite his age, Waylon is packed with the energy and playful spirit of a much younger dog, ready to bring joy and excitement to his forever home. 🐾 About Waylon: Age: 10 years old (but acts like a 2-year-old!) Breed: Wire-Haired Jack Russell Terrier Energy Level: High—still has that puppy zip and loves adventure. Personality: Feisty, curious, affectionate when he wants to be, and always up for fun. ❤️ Waylon's Favorites: Belly Scratches: He melts for a good belly rub session. Toys, Toys, Toys: Playtime is his favorite time of the day. The Great Outdoors: He adores being outside, especially near water. Sniffari Adventures: Exploring and sniffing out every new scent in his environment is pure bliss for him. 🏡 Ideal Home & Training Needs: Waylon is a work in progress and needs a patient and understanding family committed to helping him thrive. House Manners: Waylon is not currently housetrained and struggles with traditional house manners. He needs a dedicated owner willing to work on consistent training routines and possibly manage an indoor space where accidents are okay while he learns. Companions: He is dog-selective and prefers to be the star of the show. No cats or small animals, please. He might do best as the only dog or in a home with another calm, well-matched canine companion after a careful introduction. Environment: A secure yard where he can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy the water would be a huge plus. ✨ Why Adopt Waylon? If you’re looking for an active, engaging companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with laughter, Waylon is your guy. He promises endless entertainment during playtime and deep affection during cuddle time. He’s looking for a committed home that sees past his current training needs and recognizes the vibrant, loving dog underneath. Ready to give this energetic senior the second chance he deserves? Contact us today to learn more about adopting Waylon!
