Story
Morningstar loves playing catch, going on walks and lots of attention. He is pretty chill when left home alone in his crate, once he gets used to a new place. This guy is still full of puppy energy and needs help channeling it for good. Long walks and structured play will go a long way to helping him be the best boy. Morningstar is a lover: new people, dogs, kids even cats...he loves everyone.

Story
They say that seeing an aurora can change your life. We think that when you meet Aurora you may have the same experience. Your life may never be the same...Aurora may just wiggle and smile her way into your life and change it forever. She is a sweet girl who is in search of a person to travel through life with. Walks, snacks and sniffs are in her future, and she hopes they are experienced by your side. Aurora prefers to not share her resting spots with other animals and because of this she is available as the only pet in her next home.
