Story

Sweet Charli was born in Kansas and then sent to a rescue in Nebraska on April 20, 2026. I adopted her on April 25,2026. She is smart, cuddly and so silly! She has been wonderful with my other pets and my grandchildren ages 1-9. Her most favorite place to be is in bed, cuddled up with her people. Sadly my career has taken a new path that requires frequent travel and I don’t want Charli to live her life in a boarding kennel.

Story

Meet Asher—A Sweet, Loving Shih-Poo Looking for His Forever Home 🐾❤️ It is with a heavy heart that I am looking to rehome my precious Shih-Poo, Asher, due to my chronic health issues. This has not been an easy decision, but I want to do what is in his best interest and find him a family who can give him the time, attention, and active life he deserves. Asher was born on February 24, 2026, and I brought him home when he was just 12 weeks old. He is a healthy, affectionate little boy with a gentle spirit. One of his favorite things in the world is cuddling. Whether you are relaxing on the couch or settling in for the evening, Asher is happiest when he is close to the people he loves. He is sweet-natured, loving, and enjoys being part of the family. He has brought so much joy and companionship into my life, and I am hoping to find someone who will cherish him just as much. I am looking for a responsible, loving home where Asher will be treated as a cherished member of the family—not
