Story
This bundle of joy loves to play and entertain. She is already great with a game of fetch and up for a daily walk anytime. Grooming needs are high as she has the doodle coat that doesn’t shed. Instead, she needs regular trims and brushing daily. She is crate-trained and excellently progressing on house training with no accidents in a few weeks now. She is spayed and microchipped and has an upcoming appointment for her last booster. Since she is still young, she is sleeping in the crate 9pm to 630am. But she will be fine to sleep on a dog bed overnight in a few weeks. Ideally she would be adopted with a family of kids who can enjoy her silly side. While small, she is not too fragile and can take some rollicking play time with kids. In fact our neighbors kids love to throw the tennis ball and play with her. She is always very excited to play with children and behaves very well with them. Exercise needs moderate. Good in car.

Story
Tiki comes to us from the island of Saint Martin, where she was surrendered, along with her brothers and sisters in a bucket! She is what is commonly and affectionately called a Coconut retriever. Which is a nice way of saying a mixed breed. She is about seven months old and will soon be spayed. She’s a friendly girl, active and playful. She would do well with an active family. Another dog would be icing on the cake. Tiki, as with all puppies, would benefit from some positive training. She gets along very well with the two resident dogs. She seems to like children, but until properly trained would be better with older children rather than toddlers. If you’re looking for a fun loving furry family member, tiki may be your girl!

Story
Bubba is a beautiful young lBubba is a beautiful young dog with a beautiful ginger, brown and white coat. He is well-behaved and loving, super smart and highly trainable. He has a very regal appearance, and also a silly puppy side.. Due to his owners death, he and his buddy Billy found themselves in a dangerous kill shelter. They have both been pulled from that shelter and are currently in a foster home.. Foster is a very temporary place, because pets are not allowed in the building. Bubba and Billy are good friends, but they do not have to be adopted together..

Story
Billy has had a rough life and just when he thought things were going well, his owner passed away!! he is currently in a foster along with his friend Bubba. While the two of them are friends, it is not necessary for them to be adopted together.. this handsome boy is a very sweet,mellow, chill dog, who also loves going on, and walks and walks well on a leash. Because of the shape and placement of Billy‘s ears, he can get access, wax buildup and ear infections easily so his ears do need to be cleaned weekly with a rinse to help prevent that from happening. a very small price to pay for a loving companion!
