Story
Meet Scotch! Scotch is a wonderful puppy full of energy and love. He especially enjoys playing with our big dog and isn’t afraid to keep up with the fun. Even with all his puppy excitement, Scotch also knows how to calm down and snuggle up when it’s time to relax. He’s learning potty training and making good progress. Scotch sleeps well through the night and does just fine spending time in his crate during the day. If you’re looking for a playful yet affectionate puppy who’s ready to be part of the family, Scotch would be a great fit!

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
Meet Crystal, a beautiful 1½-year-old white cattle dog mix who’s ready to trade in her mom duties for a little “me time!” After raising a litter of adorable pups, Crystal is eager to be the star of the show and find a home where she can shine. True to her breed, Crystal is happiest when she’s outside with room to run and explore. She loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine friends and plenty of space to stretch her legs. After a good play session, this energetic girl is all about the snuggles — her affectionate side is just as strong as her adventurous one. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s full of life and love, Snuggly Crystal might just be your perfect match!
