Story

Meet Rhodes: Your Professional Snuggler & Full-Time Goofball! If you’re looking for a dog who is 100% heart and about 15% coordination, meet Rhodes. At just two years old, Rhodes is in the prime of his life and ready to bring a whirlwind of joy, tail wags, and "derp" into his forever home. 🐾 The Personality Rhodes is the definition of outgoing. While some dogs take a minute to warm up, Rhodes has never met a stranger—only friends he hasn't licked yet! He greets every new person with the same enthusiasm usually reserved for a fresh bag of treats. His "Derp" Factor: Whether it’s sleeping with his tongue out, failing to realize his own size, or doing a "happy dance" that looks more like a graceful stumble, Rhodes is a constant source of entertainment. He doesn’t just walk; he bounces with a zest for life that is truly infectious. 🛋️ The Snuggle Expert Don’t let his high-energy greetings fool you; Rhodes is a world-class snuggler. Once the initial excitement of the day wears off, he wants nothing more than to park his head on your lap (or your chest, or your feet) and drift off into a deep nap. He’s a big fan of physical affection and will lean into you to make sure you know he’s there. ### Quick Facts: Vibe: Social butterfly & professional clown Skills: Meeting new people, expert-level cuddling, making you laugh daily Ideal Home: A place where he can get plenty of attention and maybe a few soft pillows to crash on after a big day of being social. Ready to add a little extra goofiness to your life? Rhodes is waiting to meet his new best friend. Come say hi—he’s already excited to meet you!

Story

Calling all sassy dog lovers! Are you searching for that one special (and stubborn) fluffy addition to your family? Look no further than this little man, Chase. Despite his small frame, he's got a big attitude and a zest for life! Chase enjoys meeting new people of any age and new dogs friends! He loves chasing a ball, getting some zoomies in and then chilling inside with his people. Chase is looking for adopters who have experience with Pomskies or similar breeds, so he can be his most authentic self without apology. He will need regular grooming and will need a patient vet, as he is not a fan or restraint. Chase is flexible and would enjoy living with a couple or a whole family, as an only pet or with the company of dog siblings. He has yet to meet a cat, but we suspect he would coexist well given proper introductions.
