Story
** Meet Kobe — Our Sweet Survivor **Kobe is a young, gentle soul with the heart of a hero. This lovable pup has already been through quite a journey — he came to us after breaking his leg, and though it’s healed, he’s been left with a little limp that only adds to his charm.Don’t worry, though — Kobe doesn’t let it slow him down one bit! He still enjoys his walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. What he loves most, though, is being close to people. Kobe is full of affection, gratitude, and the kind of unconditional love that makes every day brighter.He’s looking for a calm, caring home where he can finally settle in and be loved for the wonderful dog he is. In return, he’ll give you endless loyalty, soft snuggles, and a heart that’s already been tested — and proven to be pure gold.If you’re looking for a companion who’s brave, loving, and ready for his happily ever after, Kobe might just be the one. The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.November 6, 2025, 7:59 pm

Ever seen The Lion King? You know the giggly, slightly wacky hyena named Ed? Yeah... that’s our boy. But don’t worry – this Ed isn’t plotting with Scar (he’s way too sweet for that). Named after everyone’s favorite cackling sidekick, Ed brings the same goofy energy, wild expressions, and contagious joy.With a smile that can turn any bad day into belly laughs, Ed is part comedian, part cuddle expert, and 100% heart. He may be named after a hyena, but he’s got the loyalty of a lion!He loves his short naps, squeaky toys, and pretending he’s a lapdog despite being… definitely not lap-sized. Whether he's making you laugh with his silly antics and crazy playing or melting into you for a nap, Ed's the kind of dog who steals your heart without even trying.One look into those big, soulful eyes and you’ll understand – Ed isn’t just a dog. He’s a whole vibe.The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.December 3, 2025, 3:26 pm
