Story
Meet Walter! Walter is a sweet, intelligent, playful 1 YO pup weighing about 30 Lbs. He came from a hoarding situation involving 80+ dogs and is looking for a home where he can truly thrive.Walter loves his toys, Kongs, playing, and being close to his people. He's shown us how much he enjoys exploring quiet, open spaces where he can run, sniff, and build confidence.We love Walter dearly, but we've learned that city apartment living isn't the right fit for him. He struggles with anxiety, overstimulation, and separation difficulties. The city intensifies this We believe Walter would benefit from a quieter home with a fenced yard, a predictable routine, and people willing to continue his training. Another calm, confident dog may be helpful.Walter is neutered, vaccinated, and house-trained. We'll provide his supplies, training history, and remaining professional training sessions.Our priority is finding Walter a home that understands his needs and gives him the opportunity to thrive.

Story
Meet Geoff, an adorable "Griffonshire" puppy. This charming Yorkshire Terrier/Brussels Griffon pup is the ultimate mix of big personality and pint-sized sweetness. These toy breeds are known for being affectionate and loyal, and they love being around their humans. Geoff enjoys playing with kids of all ages, cats of any kind, and can hold his own playing with dogs as well. Geoff is still a puppy at 15 weeks and 7 lbs. His full-grown weight is anticipated to be 10-12 lbs. Geoff is doing great at potty training and sleeps all night in his kennel with nary a whimper. His ideal family will be around most of the day to enjoy his affectionate, curious and playful nature. He's neutered, chipped, and ready for his forever family adventure! Geoff will come with age-appropriate vaccines and is up to date on heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $375.
