She is crate trained, housetrained, and rides well in the car 🚗, making her a perfect companion for both adventures and quiet moments at home. She enjoys walks and is learning proper leash manners. Penny is playful, loving, and ready to become the heart of your home. Adoption fee is $300 and includes spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip.

Introducing... The Iconic Brady Bunch!That's right - meet Marcia, Bobby, Jan, Peter, Cindy, and Greg! This adorable bunch is on the lookout for their very own group of humans to call family.These puppies were found running alongside the road before a kind person brought them safely to the Humane Society. Once in our care, they were cleaned up, vaccinated, and placed into loving foster homes to begin learning how to be the very best puppies they can be. Their stray hold has ended and, sadly, no one came forward to claim them - so now they're waiting for you to claim them forever.When they first arrived, it was clear they'd had little to no human interaction. But the good news? They're young and in that incredible super-learner stage of life! With patience and love in their foster homes, they're already opening up, gaining confidence, and truly starting to thrive.These pups are being socialized with other animals and people, and they're getting a head start on house training, crate training, and general manners. Our foster families are putting in the work to give their future adopters a wonderful foundation to build on.If you're looking to add puppy snuggles, laughter, and a whole lot of love to your home, one of these sweet siblings could be your perfect match.Don't wait - get your applications in today and start your own happy bunch!
