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 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
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
Panda will be 2 years old in December. She is house and crate trained. I am heartbroken to have to rehome her. She loves people and kids, once she warms up to them, she tends to be a little skittish at first. Panda needs a home where she is the only pet. As Panda has start coming into adulthood she is fighting other dogs in the home. She has never showed aggression towards a person or any other animals! Panda would make a great adventure partner for someone as her breeds are high energy working dogs. She is very good on a leash after a few minutes, gotta burn off the excited energy. She will play fetch as long as you will throw the ball. When it’s time to go to bed she is a cuddler.

Story
After a lot of thought I have made the decision to try to find a new home for Daisy. She is a wonderful dog and has so much love to give. She loves to play fetch and tug of war with her chew toys. She is an inside dog as she loves to be with her humans. She gets along great with other dogs as well as cats. I would love to find a home for her that has older children 10+ that would love to play with her, she would love that. I just don’t have the time or energy in me to allow her to burn off that energy. She hasn’t been around (toddlers)or babies so that is why I recommended an older child to play with and she still hasn’t gotten her not jumping down pact yet. She is going to be 2 around Christmas so she is still young. She never messes in the house or gets into anything. She still needs some training with walking on a leash but she will make a wonderful addition to an active family that loves to include Daisy. I am requesting a small rehoming fee because I have a lot of money into her.
