Story
**Hi! I'm Poppy 🌺🐾** Just like my name, I think life is better with a little sunshine. If you ask me what my perfect day looks like, it starts outside. I love feeling the breeze, exploring the yard, sniffing all the interesting smells, and finding the perfect sunny spot to stretch out and watch the world go by. The outdoors is definitely my happy place. I'm a sweet, friendly girl who enjoys spending time with my people. Whether we're wandering around the property, relaxing on the porch, or just enjoying a quiet afternoon together, I'm happiest when I'm close to the people I love. I think I'd be happy in a home with a room to roam—maybe a place in the country where I can enjoy nature and all the sights and sounds that come with it. Basically, I'm Poppy—a little bit of sunshine, a little bit of fresh air, and a whole lot of love waiting for the right home. 🐾 **If you're interested in adopting me, please apply online to be considered:** 👉 [https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AHTN/Dog] 🏡 **Open Hours:** Tuesday – Saturday | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Come meet me—I think we'll both know when we've found home. 🌺💕

Story
**Hi! I’m Scone 🫖🐾** I know what you're thinking... **Who names a puppy Scone?** Someone with excellent taste, obviously. Just like my name, I'm a little different—in the best possible way! I'm sweet without trying, impossible to resist, and guaranteed to make people smile. I don't need frosting or sprinkles to stand out... just one wag of my tail usually does the trick. I'm a curious little guy who loves exploring, making new friends, and finding adventure wherever I go. Whether it's chasing leaves, carrying around a toy that's way too big for me, or showing off my puppy zoomies, I believe every day should be filled with fun. When I've finally worn myself out, I'm happy to snuggle up beside my favorite people and dream about tomorrow's adventures. So if you're looking for a puppy who's just a little unexpected, wonderfully sweet, and sure to become everyone's favorite conversation starter, I think I'm your guy. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.

Story
**Hi! I’m Edward 👑🐾** My name has quite the history! **Edward** comes from Old English and means **"wealthy guardian,"** and it's been the name of kings, princes, and—if you're a *Twilight* fan—one very famous heartthrob. As for me? I'm just a puppy hoping to rule one very important kingdom... **your heart.** I'm a sweet, playful little guy who's always ready for the next adventure. I love exploring, playing with toys, making new friends, and discovering all the exciting things the world has to offer. Every day is a chance to learn something new, and I'm having the time of my life doing it! When the excitement winds down, I'm happiest soaking up cuddles and spending time with my favorite people. I may have a royal name, but I'm perfectly happy trading a throne for a comfy dog bed and a family to love. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's charming, affectionate, and destined to be the king of your household, I think my reign should begin with you. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.

**Hi! I’m Strudel 🥐🐾** Let's be honest... with a name like **Strudel**, I was destined to be something sweet! Just like the famous pastry, I'm made with all the best ingredients: one scoop of puppy curiosity, a dash of playful energy, a whole lot of cuddles, and just enough goofy antics to keep you laughing every single day. I love exploring, meeting new friends, chasing toys, and discovering what exciting thing is around the next corner. Whether we're playing in the yard or relaxing on the couch, I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my favorite people. The best part? Unlike the dessert, you don't have to save me for special occasions. I'm ready to bring a little sweetness to your life every single day. If you're looking for a puppy who's impossible to resist and guaranteed to make your home a little warmer, I think you've just found your perfect recipe. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.

Story
Meet Sabrina🐾 Sabrina is the kind of dog who makes you believe in soulmates. With her warm eyes and gentle heart, she has a way of making everyone she meets feel special. She loves to play—a good toy toss or a game of chase will always bring out her happy wiggles—but she’s just as content to curl up beside you for some quiet time and snuggles. What makes Sabrina truly shine is her balance of energy and affection. She’s spirited enough to enjoy walks, adventures, or backyard playtime, yet calm enough to savor lazy afternoons by your side. Sabrina is also incredibly food-motivated, which makes her a quick and eager learner—always ready to show off her progress for a tasty reward. Sabrina comes fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained, giving her a wonderful head start in her forever home. She’s attended professional training to polish her manners and skills, and she’s making fantastic strides. With her combination of smarts, structure, and sweetness, she’s ready to slot right into a loving routine. Beyond her playful spirit and training, Sabrina’s greatest gift is the way she bonds with her people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in daily life—whether that’s morning coffee on the porch, an afternoon walk, or a cozy movie night. She’s also a big fan of “doggie days out,” especially when a pup cup is involved! Sabrina has been patiently waiting for the right family to notice her. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will fill your days with love, laughter, and loyalty, Sabrina is ready to meet you. 💛 Sabrina’s Ideal Home: 💫 Best as the only dog (no cats, please) 🎓 Professionally trained and eager to please 🐶 Fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained ☀️ Loves outings, pup cups, and quality time with her people ❤️ Does best with structure, affection, and companionship

Story
**Hi! I’m Bella 🐾✨** Yes... **that** Bella. If my name sounds familiar, you've probably read the books or seen the movies! Unlike the famous Bella from Twilight, my biggest life decision is whether to chase the squeaky toy or the tennis ball first. I'm a sweet, adventurous little girl who's always ready to explore. I love meeting new people, playing with my siblings, and discovering all the exciting things the world has to offer. Every day is a brand-new adventure, and I can't wait to share it with my forever family. When the zoomies are over, I'm all about the snuggles. I'll happily curl up beside you after a busy day of puppy fun and remind you that the best happily-ever-afters don't happen in books—they happen in loving homes. So if you've been waiting for your own *Twilight* romance, I may not sparkle in the sunlight... but my personality certainly shines. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.
