Story
Honey may look just like a Border Terrier, but her puppies DNA results told a different story. Her boys are 40% Bulldog, 20% Pug, plus a mix of other small breeds and we can see it in Honey too. Weighing about 20 lbs and estimated to be around 2 years old, Honey is as sweet as her name. Despite being dumped near a freeway, she proved to be an exceptional mother devoted to her five boys and even taking in orphaned puppies along the way. She took her mama duties seriously and wasnt in a rush to give them up. Now that her pups are growing up, her playful young side is starting to shine. Honey is a calm, gentle girl who uses a doggie door like a pro and is learning that the outside world can be safe again. Shell need continued patience with leash walking (understandable given her past), but shes ready for a loving home where she can finally just be someones loved companion.

Story
Rhea came to us to find a new home after her family's work schedule changed, causing her to spend long hours alone. She has been raised around young kids and another dog and does well with everyone! She is kennel trained, playful and has a permanently cute puppy look due to her small size. Rhea was born in May 2025 and currently weighs 24 lbs.

Story
Molly is a 3 year old shepherd mix girl who weighs around 65lbs. She is a big girl that simply doesn't know her own size. She thinks she's a lap dog and man can her tail move when she's happy! She is a little shy at first but it doesn't take long for her to warm up to you. Belly rubs and neck scratches are her favorite. She made instant friends with the other two dogs in the foster home and hasn't had a single accident. She is crate trained and uses the doggy door. She loves being in her crate and doesn't mind being in it all night. Sometimes she even puts herself to bed! If you're looking for a new best friend, Molly is surly to win your heart.
