Meet Dixie & Talia – a bonded pair! Dixie is a 12-year-old Chihuahua (nicknamed Piglet) who loves dog beds, plays hard, then naps hard. She’s mostly pad-trained, does well with a fenced yard, and takes Carprofen for mild arthritis but stays active. Together, these two are sweet, funny, and great with dogs, cats, and even poultry. They’d thrive in a home with a fenced yard to play and then snuggle. They come with beds, crate, toys, chews, meds, records, leashes, and collars. Adoption fee for the pair is $500.

Story
Meet Kiwi! Kiwi is a 6 yr old spayed female, beautiful brindle Lab/Hound mix. She is 45lbs with a huge heart and joyful spirit, always wagging her tail. She is house-trained and has obedience training. Kiwi is affectionate, sensitive, and loves being close to her people. She loves tennis balls, squeaky toys, playing in the water, car rides, and most of all, snuggling on the couch. She is the happiest girl, always wanting to show her endless affection. She is truly the sweetest dog and full of personality. While wonderful with humans, Kiwi can be reactive toward other dogs and would do best as the only pet in the home. She would thrive with experienced dog owners who can give her a calm, structured environment, ideally with a fenced yard and older children or adults. Kiwi is truly a special dog, smart, loving, and has so much love to give. She deserves a forever home where she can be the center of attention and and be the loyal companion that she is.

Story
This 16-week-old, ~20 lb mixed breed puppy is as loving as they come. She’s affectionate, cuddly, playful yet knows how to chill when it's time to curl on on the couch or go to bed. Lavender's favorite things? Being around her people, carrying her toys everywhere she goes (sometimes more than one at a time) and playing fetch. She’s doing great with crate and potty training, is kid-friendly, and gets along well with other dogs. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. If you’re looking for a playful, gentle, and snuggly puppy to grow with your family, this little girl is ready to steal your heart 💜

Story
Rona is a 4-year-old spayed shepherd who loves every human she meets, including children. Calm, well-mannered, house and crate trained, and non-destructive, she’s happiest simply being with her people. She enjoys walks, lounging on the couch, and the occasional game of fetch. Rona needs a home without other pets. She’s muzzle trained for safe outings and walks nicely on leash but would love her own fenced yard. Currently living in a kennel, she’s ready for a soft place to land.

Charlee

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 5 yrs
Barre, VT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlee is looking for a calm quiet home to rest her weary head. After years of living in chaos and instability she craves a home with routine she can depend on. Charlee is 5.5 yrs old, spayed female, pit bull who would excel in an adult-only home as an only pet or with a calm friendly dog her size. She is currently living well with another dog after a few weeks of slow integration to build trust, so if you are willing to give her time, she does have the potential to do well with the right dog. She is house trained to a fault and has had no accidents in her foster home. She can be untrusting of some new people initially, but warms up with time, treats and back scritches her personal favorite! She has learned to accept the crate at night, but would love someone to be with her during the day as it is not her favorite place to be. She loves to go for car rides and will gladly take the seat as your trsuted co-pilot. She is a huge snuggle bug and loves tennis ball, tug o war, and to pick apart stuffed toys. She enjoys going for walks unless it is super cold outside. She is very smart and is picking up on commands very well.

Story
Talia (Talley) is a 3-year-old terrier — playful, opinionated, and a little shy at first. She takes Trazodone for anxiety but, once she trusts you, her big heart shines through. She’s house trained and loves outdoor playtime. Together, Dixie and Talia are a sweet, inseparable duo. They’re great with dogs, cats, and even poultry, and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard to play and relax. They come with beds, crate, toys, chews, meds, records, leashes, and collars — everything they need to settle in. Their foster family has helped them feel safe and loved. Adoption fee for the pair: $500
