Story

Casper is a very active and rebel puppy, very high in energy and attitude as most Corgis, we currently live in an Apartment and we've noticed he's not quite happy here, he needs more space and more attention from his human companion, he is loved but we are also realistic and are trying to find what's better for him. He's very cuddly, sweet and sassy. He's been with us for a year now, we've had trouble training him due to lack of time, we both work a lot and Casper also doesn't get along with our child who is 11y old even when they've been living together for so long. We just want Casper to be happy and find a better home for himself, a family who would truly give him the attention he needs and are able to train him correctly. We got him from a Breeder, he is pure bred and his health is up to date, neutered and partially potty trained. He also got his rabies vaccine on January 2nd 2026. He is microchipped and registered with AKC. Adoption Fee is non-negotiable.

Story

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Yes, dog-savvy catsGood with kids: Yes, dog-savvy childrenCrate trained: YesHouse trained: MostlySay hello to Poe!This stunning sweetheart will steal your heart the moment you gaze into his two-toned brown and blue eyes. His unique coloring and striking markings make him truly one of a kind. Poe’s early life was filled with uncertainty, so he can be a little slow to adjust to new environments. But his gentle timidness never reflects the way he feels about people. Poe lives to love. He’s a dedicated cuddle bug, a loyal companion, and a dog who wants nothing more than to bond deeply with his people.Poe thrives in the company of other dogs and would likely do best in a home with a confident canine friend. Having another dog around helps him learn, grow, and continue building his confidence. He has previously lived with a cat and was very respectful. While he hasn’t spent time around children, he could do well with kids who enjoy cuddling and understand the importance of gentle, patient introductions.Poe is making wonderful progress with his training and is almost fully potty trained, with only an occasional accident. He would do best in a home where someone is around frequently—such as a work-from-home household—so he can have regular opportunities to go outside while he continues building consistency. Poe is crate trained and may briefly let you know he’d rather be with his people, but he settles in quickly. He walks calmly on a leash and is a pleasant companion on outings, though he may appreciate a little extra reassurance in busy or high-traffic areas.Poe is searching for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and encouragement he needs to feel safe and confident. In return, he promises unwavering devotion, endless snuggles, and a lifetime of love.Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.

Santini is happy to fit into her humans' routine and picks up quickly on new commands. She is very accommodating, walks well on a leash, and corrects/redirects easily.

She is an athletic gal who loves to chase after balls and show off her signature ‘hopping prance’. She would love to have a fenced in yard or a local fenced in area so she can show off her moves! When she has finally expended all of her energy you can find her searching for the best sunbathing spot to take a snooze in. Santini is a sweet, gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be loved and make you laugh with her goofy antics.Please Note: All dogs are posted until they are officially adopted.
