Story
Milo is a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois/Jack Russell mix looking for an active home. He’s house-trained, incredibly smart, and picks up commands quickly. He has lots of energy, loves playing (he’ll happily play for hours!), enjoys the water, and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Milo is very observant and, once he trusts you, becomes a total cuddle bug who loves being close to his people. He needs an owner committed to continuing his training and providing plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Milo is naturally protective and will bark when strangers approach his home or owner. He’s also a curious guy who likes exploring places he shouldn’t—especially garbage cans! With structure, patience, and love, Milo will make an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and fun companion for the right person.

Story
Tilly is a sweet, loving little girl whose favorite place is someone’s lap. She loves to cuddle, be close to her person, and get lots of affection. I got Tilly in December (she was born 9/23/25) and absolutely adore her, but unfortunately she does not get along well with our older, much larger Great Pyrenees mix. Because of their size difference and dynamic, I’ve made the difficult decision to find her a new home.Tilly had FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery on her hip in April after developing Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a condition that can occur in young small-breed dogs. She recovered beautifully, has healed well, and has a clean bill of health with no special ongoing care needed.She is not yet spayed or microchipped because her hip surgery needed to be taken care of first. Tilly is truly a little love bug who would be happiest in a home with lots of attention, cuddles, and lap time.

Story
Meet Luna, a loyal companion looking for a fresh start.Luna is a loving, loyal Beagle/Hound/Lab mix who loves being close to her people and has been a faithful companion for years. She had a difficult start in life, so she can be sensitive around food and would do best with an experienced owner who understands positive reinforcement and can continue building her confidence.At 6 years old, Luna has outgrown the puppy phase. She's house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and enjoys relaxing with her people, but loves walks and playtime.Making this decision has been heartbreaking, but with a baby on the way and a job that requires frequent travel, I can no longer provide the stable environment and attention that Luna deserves. She deserves more than spending long days alone in a studio apartment.I'm looking for a forever home where she'll be loved, exercised, and included as part of the family. My goal is to find the right person who will give Luna the happy, secure life she deserves.

Story
Sputnik is a handsome, sturdy 130-lb German Shepherd/Husky mix born in 2018. Quiet, affectionate, and house-trained, he knows sit, down, wait, and paw, and enjoys daily walks, relaxing near his people, and frozen Kong-style treats.He has lived successfully in apartments and a home with a yard, sleeps politely in his own bed, and does well with regular brushing. Sputnik has been wonderful with the smaller dog in his home, playing, eating, and resting peacefully together, and is generally calm and curious around other dogs.Sputnik is seeking a patient, experienced large-breed-dog home that understands canine body language and can offer steady structure, space, and compassionate care. He is a loyal companion who deserves a caring home for his next chapter.
