Story
**Hey. I’m Larry. 🐾** Yes, *that* Larry. The fun one. I’m a happy, wiggly guy who believes every day is a good day for playtime. Got a toy? I’ll take it. Got another toy? I’ll take that too. Sitting down? Perfect — I’ll just hop up here with you. I’m very efficient like that. I’m still very much a puppy, which means I’m learning important things like “what’s a leash?” and “why does everyone laugh when I trip over nothing?” I’m curious, friendly, and always ready to check out what’s happening around me. If something moves, squeaks, or looks interesting, I’m probably investigating it. After I’ve zoomed around and shown off my impressive puppy skills, I’m more than happy to settle in for some snuggles. I like being close to my people. It’s kind of my thing. With patience, training, and plenty of love, I’ll grow into a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings a little extra happiness wherever I go. 🐾 **If you’d like to adopt me, please apply online to be considered:** 👉 [https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AHTN/Dog] 🏡 **Open Hours:** Tuesday – Saturday | 10:00 PM – 5:00 PM Come meet me. I’ll be the handsome one wagging like crazy.

Story
**Hi. I’m Chip. 🥔🐾** Yes, **short for Potato Chip**. Small dog, crunchy name. I take my snack branding very seriously. I’m a cute little guy with a big personality packed into a snack-sized body. I enjoy important daily activities like supervising the household, monitoring snack distribution, and making sure my favorite humans never go anywhere without me noticing. I’m looking for an **adult-only home**, mostly because I prefer my life like a nice quiet evening on the couch — calm, predictable, and with plenty of cuddle breaks. Loud chaos is not really my thing. Cozy companionship? Yes please. When it comes to other dogs, I’m open to having a roommate as long as they’re **polite and not pushy**. Think chill buddy, not wrestling champion. Cats make me a little unsure of myself, so if there are cats in the home, they should be gentle and willing to give me my space while I figure them out. Once I settle in, I’m a loyal little shadow who likes being close to my person and keeping life comfortable and low-key. Basically, I’m the **perfect snack-sized best friend** — easy to love and impossible to resist. 🐾 **I’m currently living in a foster home. If you’d like to adopt 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 promise I’m the best kind of Chip — **zero crumbs, maximum charm.** 😄

Story
**Hi! I’m Adlee. 🐾** I’m a happy little puppy with a curious nose and a tail that seems to wag most of the day. I like to explore, check out new toys, and make sure my people always know I’m nearby. If something fun is happening, I would very much like to be included. I’m still learning all the important puppy things — what toys are mine, why everyone laughs when I get the zoomies, and how to be the best little companion I can be. I enjoy playtime, little adventures, and then curling up for a cozy nap once I’ve finished my very important puppy duties. Life is pretty exciting when you’re a puppy, and I’m looking for a family who will enjoy helping me grow, learn, and discover the world. With patience, love, and a little training along the way, I’ll grow into a wonderful companion who’s always happy to be by your side. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.

Story
**Hello. I’m Sutton. 🐾** I’m a puppy, which means I have a very full schedule. Important responsibilities include toy quality control, snack supervision, and making sure my people never go anywhere in the house without me knowing about it. I’m a sweet boy with a curious little personality. I like to check things out, join the fun, and then settle in close by once I’ve finished my important puppy duties. I believe strongly in a balanced lifestyle: a few zoomies, a good nap, and repeat as needed. Some days I’m feeling adventurous and ready to explore everything. Other days I’m perfectly happy being your tiny shadow and hanging out wherever you are. Either way, I’m pretty sure life is better when you have a puppy sidekick around. With patience, love, and a little training along the way, I’ll grow into a loyal companion who will happily share both your adventures and your couch. 🐾 **Any breed identification and adult size estimates are best guesses and may change as puppies grow.
