Story
Hi, I'm Ladybird! I'm an energetic, affectionate, and delightfully clumsy girl with a personality all my own! When I'm happy, I "chirp" like a bird, and I love making my famous grass salads. I'm dog-friendly and enjoy both playing and lounging with my canine friends. I'd do best in a home with adults or older kids-no toddlers, please!I'm a total foodie who knows "sit," loves treats, and have no food aggression. I also love zoomies, hallway fetch, and getting my energy out before snuggling up for bedtime. I'm housebroken and crate-trained, too! I can be a little shy around men at first, but I warm up quickly, especially for belly rubs. Come meet me and see if I could be your new best friend!

Hey, I'm Boomer! I can be pretty shy when we first meet, but if you give me some time, patience, and kindness, I'll slowly come out of my shell and show you my sweet personality.What I'm really looking for is a calm, loving home with people who will help me feel safe and comfortable while I learn to trust and settle in. Once I warm up, I love to play, spend time with my people, and soak up all the snuggles I can get.I may need a little extra patience at first, but I promise I have so much love to give to the right family.
