Story
Meet Eyeore 💙 Eyeore has been with us for about two months after being found abandoned in a cage on our property, and despite such a heartbreaking start, he has proven to be nothing short of amazing. This boy’s resilience is matched only by his incredible capacity for love. Eyeore is the snuggliest dog you’ll ever meet. He has no concept of personal space and will happily climb into your lap, gently push you over, and make sure you’re giving him all the affection he deserves. His love is big, warm, and constant. Eyeore does have some pretty significant allergies, and his skin is still healing, but that doesn’t slow him down or make him any less lovable. With continued care, comfort, and a consistent routine, he continues to improve—and through it all, his sweet nature never wavers. He is truly a standout companion and would make an incredible addition to a family. Eyeore does wonderfully with other animals and thrives in a home filled with kindness, patience, and cuddles. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving dog who will fill your home (and your lap) with affection, Eyeore is your guy. 🐾

Story
Meet Pretzel and Corndog 🐾💙 Bonded Pomsky Brothers Corndog and Pretzel are two adorable, floofy Pomsky brothers who are hoping to find their forever home together. These sweet boys have spent their entire lives side by side, and their bond is truly special. Unfortunately, their previous owner had to make the difficult decision to surrender them after being displaced from their home—but these boys haven’t let that dampen their happy spirits. Corndog and Pretzel are playful, silly, and full of love. They’re big fans of giving kisses, making people smile, and turning everyday moments into fun. They have plenty of energy for playtime and romping around together, but they also know how to slow things down and enjoy cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. With their long, luxurious coats, these handsome boys will need regular brushing and grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. They do wonderfully with people and children of all ages and would fit right into just about any loving home. Because they rely on each other for comfort and confidence, Corndog and Pretzel are looking for a family willing to welcome both brothers and keep their lifelong friendship intact. If you’re ready for double the fluff, double the fun, and double the love, Corndog and Pretzel are ready to meet you. 🐶🐶✨
