Story

Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Meet Sonny — Big Personality, Big HeartSonny is a lively, lovable dog with a smile that could brighten any room. He’s full of energy, personality, and enthusiasm for life, and he’s searching for a home that understands and appreciates his bold, playful spirit. Sonny loves to play and can get a little rough in the excitement of the moment, so he’s looking for an adults-only home with people who enjoy an active, fun-loving companion. He’s not a match for homes with cats or kids, but he may do well with another dog — as long as they meet first. Sonny can come on strong during introductions, so a slow, structured meet-and-greet is important to make sure everyone gets off on the right paw. With the right guidance and a family who understands his enthusiastic play style, Sonny will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless goofy charm. If you’re ready for a new best friend, Sonny can’t wait to meet you. ---

Story

Come meet me at PAW! Adoption fee: $450Meet Lola — Sweet, Silly, and Full of Heart!Lola is a loving, joyful pup with a bright personality and a whole lot of charm. She adores her people and leans into affection with her whole heart. If you’re looking for a dog who will greet you with a wagging tail and a huge smile every day, Lola is your girl. While she’s incredibly sweet, Lola can play a bit too rough for young kids, so she’s looking for an adults-only or older-teen home where her enthusiasm won’t be overwhelming. She’s also not a fan of having her feet touched — it makes her uncomfortable — so she’ll need a family who respects her boundaries and gives her time to build trust during grooming or handling. Lola may do well with another dog, but because she can be enthusiastic and rough in play so she should meet any potential canine companions first to make sure it’s a good match for everyone. Lola’s the perfect match for someone who loves a fun, spirited companion and appreciates a dog with a little personality and a few quirks. With patience, understanding, and lots of love, she’ll be your loyal, goofy best friend for life. If you’re ready for sweet snuggles and playful energy, Lola can’t wait to meet you!
