Story
Noir is 21 months old and one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you’ll ever meet. He’s had a tough start, through three homes and neglect from his previous owner, but he’s resilient, affectionate, and full of personality. I’ve had him for about 11 months, and I love him dearly, but caring for him fully is more than I can handle right now. He deserves someone who can give him the attention, patience, and structure he truly needs. He is playful, smart, and incredibly loyal. He’s a fast learner, knows multiple commands, and loves training and playtime. Super affectionate and gentle, curls up for cuddles, and will happily keep you company while you work & relax. He’s energetic but balanced, loves his walks (about 4 miles a day), and is ready for tugging, a belly rub, or some quality time. Noir is charming, fun, a little chaotic, and 100% a love nugget!

Meet this adorable, super loving pup who just craves cuddles and pets! She’s a sweetheart who loves nothing more than snuggling up and giving kisses. Very smart and quick to learn, she’s a fast learner and eager to please. She loves playing fetch, chasing toys, and going on long walks to explore. Her happy, affectionate nature makes her the perfect companion. We're only looking to rehome her because we simply don’t have enough time to give her the love and attention she deserves. If you're ready for a loyal, playful, and loving new best friend, she’s waiting to meet you!

Story
A little bit about Lola…We found her in our neighborhood and decided to take her in until we found her owner. Eventually we found the owner but they didn’t want her so we kept her as she was a good companion to our other beagle Lucky. In the past year we’ve gone back and forth about rehoming her, and now that I’m pregnant and due in April we’re considering it again. Two dogs and a newborn would be a lot for us and she requires more attention than Lucky. Lola loves to cuddle and play fetch. She enjoys walks and ‘hunting’ squirrels and cats lol. You would know she has a scent because she sniffs vigorously and makes this barking/squealing noise. It’s cute and funny. She is very food motivated which makes her easy to train, and she loves long chew bones and toys. She just got her teeth cleaned, is all caught up on shots and in perfect health besides her chubbiness.
