Story
Aries is a sweet pocket pittie who loves people. He came in with patchy skin and horrible fleas and a skin infection, which we treated and he is feeling so much better now. He does seem to have sensitive skin allergies which will require ongoing medication and baths. Areis is a snorty guy who loves attention, but he prefers women at first. He has lived with men, and he warms up after meeting them. Aires knows a variety of cute tricks, including sit pretty and dance! He is very food motivated and quick to learn. Aries is more of a homebody, preferring to spend as little time outside as possible. He can sometimes be bribed into enjoying walks in the woods if it's warm out, but thinks the winter is evil. Indoors, he likes to play with toys and knows fetch. Aries has lived with a bossy cat, but his energy level may scare a more timid kitty. He also lived with and adored a child. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. If you are interested in Aires, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
Hi! My name is Max and I am an adorable, playful 2-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier puppy. I have five siblings, and we have been in a loving foster home since we were just days old. Because of that, I am very social and comfortable around other dogs and cats. My foster mom says that for a puppy, I am surprisingly well-behaved. I love romping around and playing with my siblings, but I also know how to settle and enjoy cuddle time. Max is a happy, sweet puppy who is curious, playful, and full of love. I will be fully vetted and ready for adoption soon. Please fill out an adoption application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog

Meet Old Boy, an absolutely delightful 4-year-old bundle of joy weighing in at just 25 pounds!

You see, Old Boy isn't just a regular pup; he's got a spirit that can light up a room and a heart big enough to share with everyone around him! 🥰 Now, why is he called Old Boy? Well, don’t let the name fool you! He’s as playful as a puppy and absolutely loves to romp around and be silly, whether it’s chasing after a squeaky toy or rolling around in the grass! Adopt a dog near me 🌼 And did you hear the best part? He’s fantastic with kids, dogs, and even cats! That’s right, Old Boy is the ultimate family dog, ready to bring happiness to your home! 🎉 Adopting Old Boy means welcoming a friend who adores snuggles and affection. He believes that every moment is an opportunity for love and play, and he’s just waiting for the right family to shower his loving heart upon! But here’s the thing: potential adopters must meet him in person, so make sure you're ready to fall in love at first sight! 😍 Now, if you’re looking for a furry friend who is ready to be a part of your family adventures and gatherings, look no further! He’s been through a journey that only makes him appreciate companionship even more. Old Boy is not just a pet; he's your future best friend! 🐾 Apply for the pet here: https://tinyurl.com/ycyr878m
