Story

Meet Pickles —a one-year-old Boston Terrier mix who is part cuddlebug, part bouncing bean, and 100% delight.Pickles believes the world is her friend and that laps were invented just for her. She is a champion snuggler, a professional love-giver, and a certified goofball who greets everyone she meets as if they’ve been best friends forever. When she’s not perfecting her cuddle technique, she’s busy playing, learning, and generally sprinkling joy wherever she goes.She’s lived happily with dogs and cats (and considers them excellent potential snuggle partners), and she’s crate trained at bedtime, tucking herself in like a polite little lady. Don’t let her sweet face fool you though—Pickles has some impressive hops and can easily clear a 5-foot fence, so she’ll need safe, secure adventures.Whimsical, wiggly, and wonderfully lovey, Pickles is ready to bounce straight into a forever home where cuddles are mandatory and laughter is guaranteed.

Story

Hershey is an 8-month-old Mastiff/Rottweiler mix who's bursting with puppy energy and personality. This bouncy girl has springs in her paws and loves life at full throttle—think trampoline champion meets enthusiastic greeter! But don't let her exuberance fool you: Hershey is already showing impressive improvement with structure and consistency, proving she's a smart cookie with tons of potential. This people-loving pup is happiest when she has an outlet for all that energy, whether it's playtime or training sessions. She's looking for an active home with older teenagers (her play style might be overwhelming for small children) and ideally a canine companion who can keep up with her high-octane lifestyle. Dog-savvy cats only—Hershey's enthusiasm needs a feline friend who can hold their own! Hershey needs an owner who understands that structure is her love language—she thrives with clear boundaries and consistent training. If you're ready for an energetic, affectionate partner who will keep you on your toes and reward your patience with loyalty and love, Hershey might just be your perfect match!

Story

Bonnie is a 2-year-old Jackabull (Jack Russell/Pit Bull mix) with a heart that truly belongs to her person. She is incredibly sweet, deeply loyal, and thrives on close human companionship. Bonnie isn’t just a dog — she’s the kind of companion who wants to be by your side, on your lap, or cuddled up next to you on the couch whenever possible. Bonnie would do best as the only dog in the home, as she is insecure around other dogs and tends to resource guard her human, who she views as her greatest treasure. Because of this, she is also best suited for a home without young children. A calm, adult household — such as an older couple, a widower, or anyone looking for a devoted, one-on-one companion — would be ideal for her. She is fully housebroken, walks beautifully on a leash, and is up to date on all vaccines. Bonnie is food-motivated, which makes her eager to please and easy to work with using positive reinforcement. While she is not crate trained, she is accustomed to being on furniture and loves nothing more than being close to her human at all times. Bonnie handles routine care very well. She allows nail trims with gentle talking and slow movements, is comfortable having her teeth checked, and tolerates full physical handling for regular health inspections. Her affectionate nature, combined with her loyalty, makes her an incredibly rewarding companion for the right home. Bonnie has so much love and joy to give — she’s looking for someone who will treat her like family and cherish the unconditional devotion she offers in return. Apply today to adopt Bonnie.
