Greg and his siblings were abandoned at 7 weeks old, they were dropped over someone's fence while they were out of town. That family reached out to us directly because the local shelter was temporally closed due to cases of parvo. Greg was the biggest of the litter. He is very playful and loves the water. He is great with kids and other dogs. He has already been started on Flea and tick prevention plus heart guard. Greg is always ready for an adventure and is ready to meet his new family.

Meet Tiny Tim & Petunia! Rescued from a difficult situation at just 7 weeks old, these two pint-sized loves (Tiny at 3 lbs, Petunia at 4 lbs) have truly blossomed in foster care. While their uncertain beginnings meant they weren't adequately fed, they are now catching up quickly and proving that love and nourishment can heal anything! Tiny Tim is an absolute delighthis sweet nature is so big it's broken his tail into a happy little lightning bolt that wags with pure joy! Petunia, the more substantial little lady, is a reliable foodie who never passes up a bowl of kibble. Both are incredibly loving, playful, and small enough to be the perfect lap companions. They've aced their socialization test and are currently sharing their foster home with friendly cats, dogs, and kids. They are looking for forever homes where they can be showered with the unconditional love they've always deserved!

Story
Tina is a pretty gal with lots of love and spunk! She came into rescue needing a lot of TLC which she received with full comprehensive exam, blood work, dental, spay, vaccines, and more. She now has a clean bill of health and is feeling much better, all she needs now is a family. Tina is good with other dogs but does not share her food well (she was severely underweight when rescued). She thrives on human attention, seems to prefer women, and is a lap dog through and through. She is learning what a crate is but is not a huge fan yet. Tina would do best with a home that wants a tiny lap dog to spoil and pamper. She would do ok with 1 other dog or as an only princess. All our dogs/cats are vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventions, and spayed/neutered if old enough.
