Story
Oak got to go on a date. He loved the hikes and adventure. In the car, Oak did think that he needed to be the co-pilot and make sure his date knew where they were going. He loved hiking on the Thomas Creek trail and smelling all the smells. Exploring the woods was super amazing for him as well. On his date, Oak found a new passion (aside from barking at bikes) and that is the hose. He loved jumping at the water and playing. Cooling off after his hike was just a bonus...this guy loves water.

Story
Mona is looking for someone to be her person. She is a bit overwhelmed right now and longs for peace. Maybe a nice lawn, some trees and birds chirping might do the trick. If you are falling for that smile of hers, maybe clear your calendar and whisk her away for her Zen lifestyle moment.

Story
Lilly just got back from an amazing time in a loving foster home. The visit gave us some great insight into this senior gal. Now she is ready for her furever home and future adventures. Her foster pawrents said: Lilly is a friendly, easy going companion. She has hip dysplasia, but still looks forward to her morning walks and has good energy in the morning, she moves well in the morning. A good routine that works for her is, 15 minute walk in the morning and a 15 minute walk before dinner at 6, if she sticks to this routine she does well. She loves meeting new people but isn't crazy about meeting dogs. She likes traveling in the car but needs help getting in and out of the car. Lilly would be a good fit for someone who is looking for good low maintenance companionship. She may be low maintenance but she pawmices to love BIG!

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Paco is one of our longer term residents and we have learned so many things that will make him a best boy in a home. 1. He loves the shade. 2. Paco prefers to be chill. He likes toys but isn't into crazy antics. 3. He will do best with another chill dog. Hyper play is just too much crazy for Paco. 4. Treats! He loves them! This guy is sweet, smart and super cool. We love him and hope you will take some time to give him a visit. It might just be true love!
