This is skittles, a 10 year-old toy poodle. We are looking to rehome him. Unfortunately, his current Caretaker is very elderly and unable to care for skittles. He needs a loving good home where someone will give him lots of love and attention. Take him for short walks and make sure he is well fed.

Story
Looking to re home my 4 year old black lab.. no fault of his own we just have a baby on the way and our house unfortunately isn’t big enough.. he’s great with dogs, cats and kids! Loves being outside. Completely house trained but does prefer to sleep in the crate.. we also normally keep him in one room if no one is home.. he is super friendly and loves everyone he meets! It’s not easy giving him up but it’s what is best for our family at this time.

Story
Guppy is a very sweet, kind and timid girlie. She’s shy at first, but once she gets accustomed she’s extremely cuddly and always looking for attention. She is dog aggressive and does not do well with kids. Other than those two issues, she’ll be your new best friend. I am fostering her for my grandmother who is now in a nursing home and has no means to care for her. I am unable to keep her forever, but she is such a great dog I don’t want her going back to a shelter and would love to find her forever home.

Story
PLEASE NOTE: *If ur application has already been denied, kindly asking that u do not continue to re-apply* Shelby would thrive in an active home that can keep up with her & provide plenty of mental & physical enrichment. The ideal home would be with someone who is with her during the day & doesn’t have other pets or small children. Although, she does well with other animals & people, she is used to getting 1:1 attention for the past 6 yrs. Fenced in backyard is preferred.Shelby is super smart, highly energetic, loves to play with her herding balls, enjoys chasing u around the yard, plays hide & seek & is excellent at catching balls! She is extremely affectionate & loves to snuggle, will roll-over for belly rubs & will demand more kisses & cuddles. She will gently paw at ur legs or nudge ur hand w. her snout, when looking for attention. She enjoys the outdoors, especially the snow but also likes to bask in the sun.

Thelma **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House in April 2026** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Thelma! 5 mos./30 lb./Female/Shar-Pei Mix Name: Thelma Age: 5 months Weight: 30 lbs Breed: Shar-Pei Mix Status: Adventurous, loyal, and looking for her ride-or-die ❤️ ​ About Me: Hi! I’m Thelma — one half of an iconic duo and a puppy with a big heart and an even bigger future. I’m playful, curious, and always ready to explore the world one paw at a time. At 5 months old, I’m still learning all the good dog things like manners, leash walking, and how to be the best companion ever. I’ve got that adorable Shar-Pei charm, a squishy face that melts hearts, and a fun-loving personality that makes every day feel like a new adventure. With love, guidance, and a little patience, I’ll grow into a loyal best friend who’s always ready to ride shotgun in life. ​ Best Qualities: • Playful, happy puppy energy • Smart and eager to learn • Affectionate and people-loving • Always ready for the next adventure • Expert tail wagger ​ My Ideal Match: • A home ready for puppy fun and training • Someone excited to teach me the ropes of being a great dog • A family that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures • Humans who appreciate a loyal sidekick ​ Deal Breakers: • Couch potato households with no time for puppy energy • Skipping training and structure • Anyone not ready for the fun (and chaos) of puppyhood ​ Fun Fact: I’m named after Thelma from the famous duo — which means I’m basically destined for adventure… but my story ends with cuddles, not cliff jumps.
