Story
Meet Marita, affectionately known as Rita by her foster family—a sweet, loyal little companion who is looking for someone to share life with every step of the way. Marita spent many years as a mama dog in a puppy mill and is now discovering what it means to be loved, safe, and part of a family. One thing is certain: Marita does not enjoy being alone. She thrives when she has her people nearby and would love to be your constant sidekick, whether you're working from home, running errands, relaxing on the couch, or heading out for a walk. Because she takes comfort from canine companionship, Rita would do best in a home with another friendly dog who can help her feel secure and continue building her confidence. Marita is doing wonderfully with potty training when she is taken outside regularly. She also walks beautifully on a leash, happily trotting along beside you despite her short little legs. While Marita is still learning to trust people completely, she continues to make progress every day. She may not be a full-time cuddle bug yet, but she wants to be close to her people and is becoming more affectionate as she realizes she is finally safe. Marita gets along wonderfully with cats and has proven to be a respectful and easygoing housemate. She is also not afraid to use her voice when something doesn't seem right in her world. If she notices something unusual, she'll let you know with a bark or two. As a result of severe dental disease from her years of breeding, Rita no longer has any teeth. Don't let that fool you, though—she still enjoys life to the fullest and doesn't let it slow her down one bit. Marita is a gentle soul with a huge heart, looking for a patient family willing to give her the love, companionship, and security she has always deserved. In return, she'll be your devoted little shadow, following you wherever life takes you. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Brownie 🤎 Brownie is a sweet recent mama who’s finished raising her puppies and is now ready to begin a brand-new chapter, one that’s all about her. She’s gentle, loving, and has a wonderful balance of independence and affection. Brownie enjoys exploring with the other pups around the barn, but she’s never far from her people for long. She’s also been wonderful with cats and other dogs, making her an easy addition to a multi-pet home. When adventure time is over, Brownie is all about the snuggles. She loves being held and cuddling on the couch, soaking up every bit of affection she can get. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who’s ready to leave mom-life behind and settle into a loving home, Brownie could be the perfect match. 🐾💛 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Savannah is a 10-month-old Miniature Poodle with a big personality packed into a little body! This smart, confident girl loves to be right in the middle of whatever is going on and thrives on attention and activity. Savannah is always ready for the next adventure and would do best with an active family that will include her in daily fun and outings. She’s not much of a clingy lap dog during the day—Savannah is far too busy exploring the world—but when the day winds down, she’s happy to curl up for some cozy nighttime cuddles. True to her poodle smarts, she’s bright, curious, and eager to stay busy. Savannah plays wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and even does well with cats. She loves to run, explore, and see what’s around the next corner, so a home with a fenced yard would be ideal for this energetic girl. If you’re looking for a fun, clever companion who will keep you moving and make every day a little more exciting, Savannah might just be your perfect match! 🐾✨ All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Elsie, your loyal shadow, adventure buddy, and professional snuggler 💛 Elsie is a stunning, intelligent girl with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. She absolutely thrives in a home with other dogs. She loves to play, wrestle, and then curl up for cozy naps with her canine friends. Her best friend is a cat named Hector and in a new home (and proper introductions) Elsie can adjust to cats with a little time and patience. This sweet girl is deeply devoted to her people. She wants to be by your side through everything, whether you’re relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or even trying to load the dishwasher (she insists on supervising!). Personal space? Elsie’s never heard of it and honestly, she thinks it’s overrated. Elsie is incredibly smart and very food motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. She already knows a long list of cues like sit, down, shake, leave it, watch me, and even a few fun ones like “raise the roof!” She learns quickly and loves having a job to do. Keeping her mentally engaged, through training, play, or long walks, will help her shine. She’s also an active girl who enjoys running and has even tried canicross, pulling is her thing! She’s currently working on loose leash walking and does great when given guidance and focus cues like “watch me” or “easy.” At home, she loves zooming around the yard, watching squirrels, playing in the hose, and stretching out into her signature “frog dog” pose. Elsie does have a sensitive side and is looking for a confident, patient home that will help her feel safe and supported. She can be wary of new people, especially men, but with really yummy treats, slow, proper introductions and consistency, she warms up and becomes affectionate (face kisses included!). Because of this, she’ll do best with a family that can advocate for her space and provide structure when guests visit. Elsie is kennel trained (she’ll happily go in when you say “kennel” or “dinner”) and does best eating separately. Elsie’s ideal home: Another playful dog (or dogs!) to be her best friend A patient, confident adopter committed to helping her navigate new experiences A home that will provide structure, mental stimulation, and lots of love Someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to earn it In return, Elsie will give you unwavering loyalty, endless companionship, and plenty of laughs with her quirky, loving personality. She is truly something special and she’s just waiting for the right person to see it. 💕 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Meet Kadota Kadota a handsome guy with a playful spirit, curious nature, and a heart full of love! He’s always ready to explore the world around him, whether that means investigating new toys, following you around the house, or joining in on family fun. Kadota is also incredibly affectionate and happiest when he’s close to his people. After playtime, he’ll gladly curl up beside you for snuggles and quiet time.

Carver Scott Humane Society and his foster have observed that this puppy may be partially or completely deaf.

Meet Alma! 🐾 Alma is a bright, curious puppy who is equal parts cuddle bug and adventure buddy! Her joyful energy makes every day brighter, and she’s looking for a family to share her big heart and quick mind with. 🌟 Star Student & Social Butterfly Alma learns incredibly fast and is highly treat-motivated. She's a total training superstar: - Mastered Commands: Sit, down, and shake! - Great Progress: She is doing fantastic with potty training and walks beautifully on a leash. - Pet-Friendly: She currently lives with two dogs and two cats and absolutely loves her foster siblings. 💖 Playtime & Cuddles Alma loves her toys, but she is also a world-class cuddler. She makes the absolute sweetest, cutest little noises and loves nothing more than curling up for a snooze with her favorite humans or dog buddies. With her loving spirit and eager-to-please attitude, Alma is going to grow into an amazing companion. This puppy may have a mild collapsing trachea, which can sometimes cause occasional coughing or a little “honking” sound when excited or pulling on a collar. Right now, it is very mild and does not affect the puppy’s breathing, playfulness, or quality of life. Many dogs with this live happy, normal lives with simple care, like using a harness instead of a collar and keeping a healthy weight. We just want to be transparent so adopters are aware and can continue normal vet care as the puppy grows. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped. To meet this sweet pup, fill out an application today!
