Story
Say hello to this sweet girl named Bella Mae!Bella is an 8-year-old beagle-mix who recently joined us and is looking for her new best friend!A bit about her: Bella Mae is sweet, smart, and is the perfect blend of fun and energetic!

Story
Meet Lily: A Sweet and Social Little SidekickLily is a beautiful 5½-year-old white and red long-haired Chihuahua with a bright personality and a loving spirit. Unlike her best friend Meeko, Lily is quick to make new friends and loves soaking up attention from the people around her. Whether she's being held, strolling alongside you on a walk, or joining you for a car ride, Lily is happiest when she's spending time with her favorite humans.Lily and Meeko share a very special bond and have been constant companions. She helps bring confidence to Meeko when he's feeling unsure, and together they make a wonderful pair. Lily is accustomed to living with other small dogs and enjoys their company, although larger dogs can sometimes be overwhelming for her.With her affectionate nature, gentle charm, and love of companionship, Lily is sure to win hearts wherever she goes. She and Meeko are looking for a forever family willing to open their home to twice the love, twice the cuddles, and a lifelong friendship that deserves to stay together."We're so excited you're interested in adopting a new furry friend!

Story
Meet Meeko: A Gentle Soul Looking for LoveMeeko is a handsome 6-year-old beige, short-haired Chihuahua with a heart that's well worth the wait. While he can be a little slower to warm up to new people and situations, once Meeko feels safe and comfortable, his affectionate and loving personality truly shines. He absolutely adores being held, enjoys going for walks, and never says no to a car ride adventure.Meeko takes comfort in having his best friend Lily by his side. Their bond helps him feel confident and secure, and together they make the perfect little team. He is used to sharing his home with other small dogs and does well around them, though large dogs can be a bit intimidating for this little guy.Meeko is looking for a patient adopter who understands that the best relationships take time to build. Once you've earned his trust, you'll have a loyal companion who loves nothing more than cuddling close and enjoying life's simple pleasures. Because Meeko and Lily are deeply bonded, they are seeking a forever home together."We're so excited you're interested in adopting a new furry friend!

Story
Artemis is a 6 month old plott/coon hound mix originally from the Humane Society. Due to change in housing and circumstances, I’m no longer able to give her the attention and care she deserves. She LOVES people, and is super friendly and affectionate. Gets along great with other dogs and would love to have one to play with at her next home. Currently in doggie daycare. Gets along with cats too but can be quite playful with them at times. Super food motivated. Has separation anxiety and will bark/howl when left alone and pace around the house, will not stay in cage when alone. Happily sleeps in a crate at night. Potty trained and will let you know when she needs to got out but will have accident if left to long. Super high energy and needs lots of room to run and play. Looking for an owner who is willing to put the time and attention into training this little one so she can reach her full potential and in return she will be the perfect and most loyal companion.

Story
Martini is a lively, energetic dog with a big heart. Originally rescued from Texas, she has some behavioral quirks that are being worked on, and she truly thrives with a family that has the time and energy to match her active spirit. She loves hikes, outdoor adventures, and staying busy. Martini was taken in by us after her previous owner could no longer handle her, and we've been doing our best to help her become her best self. She’s sweet, affectionate, and full of zest — but because I’m pregnant and concerned about her overprotective nature around the baby, we feel it’s best for her to find a home where she can get the attention and exercise she needs. If you’re an active person who loves the and has a lot of love to give, Martini would be the perfect fit!

Story
Meet Waylon ❤️Waylon is an amazing companion who has been a huge part of our family for years. Writing this is incredibly difficult, but we have made the heartbreaking decision to find him a home that is better suited to his needs.We adopted Waylon in 2021 from an English Bulldog rescue in Williston, Vermont. We didn't know much about his life before then, other than that he had been found as a stray in San Antonio, Texas. Somehow, this Texas dog made the long journey north and eventually found his way into our family.We've shared a lot of life with him since then, and I have an especially strong bond with him. I love this dog deeply. He has his challenges, like we all do, but he also deserves a life where he can be loved, comfortable, and successful.Waylon needs to be the only pet in his new home.
