Story
Rustyn was adopted from a foster home in November of 2020. He was a home with many big dogs and did just great, although he was very timid. He was brought to a shelter earlier that year when a hoarding situation was discovered. He came to live with my chihuahuas and since, I have discovered he is not of the right temperament to be with smaller dogs. He is approximately 9 lbs., so he is small too. He does have some minor resource guarding tendencies. Primarily, he can have jealousy over his selected human, but it is not consistent with his tell-offs or when he is triggered. He would do great as an only dog with someone that can let him explore the yard or take him on adventurous walks. He is a big cuddler who loves to sleep under the covers in his human's bed. Everyone that has met him thinks he is just wonderful! He has done well with teenagers, adults and seniors. I have not seen him around younger children or cats. He is a terrier, so he can become focused, but he is not barky.

Hi! I'm Rocky, a blue-eyed, sweetheart of a puppy who loves to cuddle. I have a lot of energy and i listen to my name! I'm good with kids and cats so no need to worry about that! I know the difference between inside and outside and will let you know when I need to go out. I also come running when called. I love to play with other dogs, and can't wait to explore the world with my furever family.

Story
Daisy is a big ball of love ready to play with anyone that comes her way! Still perfecting walking on leash, she enjoys exploring, has lived with cats, loves children, and likes meeting everyone at the dog park. Daisy is a little too interested in creatures she sees outdoors, and will need a tall, sturdy fence to make sure she doesn't decide to run away with a coyote or rabbit. Other than her penchant for wildlife, Daisy is happy to kick back and relax with plenty of snuggles after a day of play.
