Story
Meet Ava Ava is a beautiful soul who’s been through more than any dog should. Life on the streets left her scared and unsure, and now she’s slowly learning that the world can be kind and people can be trusted. She’s sweet and sensitive — a gentle girl who just wants to feel safe and loved. Ava has some fear-based reactivity to other dogs, likely a result of having to fend for herself in tough conditions. But with patience, love, and continued support, she’s making progress every day. Ava is heartworm positive, but she’s receiving treatment and has a whole team rooting for her recovery. All she really wants is someone to give her the chance she’s never had — someone who will see past her fear and into her heart. Is that someone you?

Story
Reba may look like a chunky little couch potato, but she’s really a big-hearted survivor. After a rough start to life raising puppies in a junkyard, she’s traded rust and scraps for soft beds and full bowls—and she couldn’t be happier. This lovable “house hippo” is all about being close to her people, whether that’s keeping you company indoors or following you into the yard. She’s weaned her babies now, but she still likes to stay near and soak up the comfort she’s found. Reba enjoys easygoing pack walks, belly rubs, and simply being part of your daily life. She’s ready to be someone’s loyal shadow, constant companion, and snuggle buddy for life.

Story
Meet Rena — playful, cuddly, and absolutely overflowing with love. She’s the kind of girl who greets you with full-body wiggles, happy kisses, and those long legs bouncing in every direction. Rena is a smart girl, too. She loves puzzle toys and enjoys figuring things out, which makes playtime both fun and a great way to keep her mind busy. She thrives when she has space to stretch out and really run, so she’d love a home with room to zoom and burn off her joyful energy. After playtime, she’s all about snuggles and soaking up attention. Rena is housetrained, walks nicely on a leash, and is ready to bring her big heart (and long legs!) to a family who will adore her as much as she’ll adore them.

Story
Brigette is what we lovingly call a “genetic mess” of a Frenchie — and around here, that just means she’s perfectly imperfect. We don’t discriminate. Every dog deserves a soft place to land, and this tiny girl has our whole hearts. She has the most gorgeous coat and the sweetest, most affectionate personality. At just 5 pounds, she’s a little thing — which is actually a blessing. Her petite size helps her get up the stairs on her own… but coming down? That’s another story. She’ll absolutely need a home that understands she’ll have ongoing back leg issues and will require a little extra support. Brigette adores being carried around by her human (and frankly, she thinks it’s exactly where she belongs). She’s happiest tucked in close, soaking up attention, and being doted on like the tiny princess she is. She may have some physical challenges ahead, but her capacity for love is bigger than her whole 5-pound body. Whoever opens their heart to Brigette will be getting a devoted little shadow who just wants to be near her person.

Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match.

Story
Carl Greyson is the kind of puppy everyone hopes for—pretty darn easy. Honestly, we can’t figure out why we haven’t received 100 applications for him yet. He’s living with a foster family and has also spent some weekends hanging out with us, and he’s just as adorable as they come. Carl is crate trained and mostly potty trained (he is still a puppy, after all); and he’s a natural on a leash. He’s great with other dogs, wonderful with kids, and loves nothing more than being snuggly, cuddly, and close to his people. This boy is the total package.
