Story
Dolly Rose is just 15 months old and loves other dogs, does well with cats, and is playful, curious, and full of excitement. She absolutely loves running outside, taking baths and sleeping. She is shy with new people at first, but quickly warms up when she has spent time with you. She is amazing with all other dogs. I adopted her over a year ago. Because of changes in my schedule and travel, I cannot give her the time and daily presence she deserves. She is up to date on shots, microchipped, and such a special little soul. I would love her to find a caring home.

Story
Kitty is a Chihuahua–Pug mix. She is a small dog with a lot of energy. I adopted her in October from a woman who didn’t really know how to take care of dogs. Since then, I’ve trained her with a routine to go potty outside. She is doing well, although she still has occasional accidents inside the house. She is a lovely and sweet dog. She loves playing in the snow and in the garden. She enjoys walks, toys, and treats. Because she is very energetic, she would do best in a home where she is the only dog, and with an owner who has enough time to play with her and give her attention. She would also be a great companion for kids, as she is playful and affectionate. Kitty has been trying hard to adapt to my home, but since I started college and my husband began a new job that requires more of his time, we have less time to dedicate to her and her energy needs. Now Kitty is ready for a new forever family!!
