Story
Meet Elliot, a gentle chihuahua mix who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is a shy boy and slow to warm up, but with a steady routine, patience, and plenty of love, he blossoms into the sweetest companion. Elliot prefers a home with adults only since kids can be a bit overwhelming for him. Elliot would also love to have another dog in the home to help boost his confidence. He does have some flight risk tendencies, so a secure environment is important. Once he feels safe, he enjoys relaxing, lounging around, and simply being near his people. His foster parents say he is improving every day as he learns to trust, and he is ready to continue that journey with a family who sees how special he truly is.

Story
Blitzen is a very young puppy, estimated to be around two months old, with a beautiful all black coat and the soulful look of a hound mix. She is still learning about the world and is on the shy side, taking comfort in calm environments and gentle interactions. Blitzen gains confidence by watching and following other dogs, so she will require a home with a friendly canine companion to help guide her as she grows. With another dog by her side, her personality continues to blossom and her curiosity starts to shine through. Blitzen will do best with a patient family who understands that shy puppies need time, consistency, and kindness to feel safe. With love and reassurance, she has all the potential to grow into a sweet, loyal, and wonderful companion.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Naomi is a beautiful Great Dane mix with all the classic Great Dane personality traits people adore. She is already spayed and does very well in the company of other dogs, enjoying both their presence and companionship. Naomi would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, as she can be a bit flighty and is still building confidence in new environments. She can be nervous around new people and loud noises, but she warms up with time, patience, and gentle reassurance. Once Naomi feels comfortable and trusts you, she becomes completely devoted and loves being close to her people. She forms strong bonds and is happiest when she can stay near those she loves. With a calm home, consistent routine, and a family willing to let her open up at her own pace, Naomi will make a loyal, affectionate, and deeply loving companion.

Story
Scotch is a fun, playful, and adventurous cuddle-bug of a small breed puppy. He gets along well with children, adults, and big dogs. He may bark a lot at first, but his bark is definitely worse than his bite—once he warms up, he’s all love. Scotch is a very affectionate dog who enjoys being close to his people, and he also loves to play with toys. He is making great progress with potty training and is eager to learn. He already knows how to sit and is currently working on other basic commands, as well as walking on a leash.
