Story
🌟 Meet Penny — the Sweetheart Who Loves Everyone She Meets! 🌟 If you’re looking for a gentle, happy-go-lucky companion who’s ready to fill your home with joy, Penny just might be your girl. This beautiful 1-year-old tan-and-white hound mix (with a possible hint of boxer in her elegant frame!) is tall, lean, and full of youthful charm — about 45 pounds of pure friendliness. Penny is the kind of dog who makes every outing feel like an adventure. She walks beautifully on a harness and recently enjoyed a trip to the river. She wasn’t too sure about getting in the water, but she loved greeting everyone she passed. Kids, adults, you name it — Penny is convinced every new person is a potential friend. She even met a young girl with the sweetest tail wags and gentle excitement. With other dogs, Penny is a star. She plays well, reads the room, and fits in easily with canine companions. And if you have cats? No problem — she gives them a polite “no thank you” and moves on with her day. What Penny wants most is a family who will let her be her joyful, social, curious self. A home that enjoys walks, playtime, and plenty of affection would be perfect for her. She’s still young and ready to learn, and she’ll repay you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags. 💛 Penny is ready to meet her forever family. Could it be you? Come spend some time with her — you’ll fall in love the moment she looks up at you with those bright, hopeful eyes.

🐾✨ Meet Randy — Your New Adventure Buddy! ✨🐾 Say hello to Randy, a 2–3 year old, 50-pound brindle-and-white pittie mix who is equal parts handsome hunk and total sweetheart. This boy has charm, smarts, and a whole lot of love to give — and he’s looking for someone to share it with! Randy loves making new friends. On walks, he’ll spot someone he likes, trot over with his bouncy little swagger, and politely offer his head for scratches. He starts off a bit excited coming out of his kennel, but he settles down quickly into his easy, happy rhythm. 🌟 Randy’s Best Qualities: • Easy walker & social butterfly: Loves greeting new people with calm, gentle friendliness. • Playful explorer: Enjoys walks, sniffing the world, and taking everything in with his tail wagging. • Smart as can be: He knows sit and is VERY treat motivated — a fun dog to train and bond with! • Active & athletic: This boy would make an awesome running partner or adventure companion. • Dog-friendly… with enthusiasm: He seems to like other dogs, but his high-energy play style means meet & greets are a must. • Fence-scaling pro: Randy will need to be leash walked, as he can clear a fence like an Olympian. Randy is neutered, ready to go, and so eager to find someone who will appreciate his silly, sweet, energetic spirit. With the right person, this boy is going to shine. 🏡 Randy is available now through Hopewell Animal Services — come meet this brindle beauty and see if he’s your perfect match!

💙 Meet Buffy — The Blue-Coated Beauty Ready to Be Your Ride-or-Die! 💙 (No slaying vampires required.) Buffy is a 1–2 year old, 40-pound, spayed pittie mix with the most stunning blue coat and bright, eager eyes that light up the moment she steps outside her kennel. She gets so excited to head out for her walk — who can blame her? — but once she’s outside, she settles beautifully and becomes a total joy on leash. This smart, affectionate girl is the full package: ✨ Treat motivated (she’ll show off her perfect sit the moment snacks appear!) ✨ Comes when called — because she genuinely wants to be near her people ✨ Playful, loving, and oh-so-smart — a dream dog for someone who loves training and bonding ✨ Adventure ready — she’d make an amazing sidekick for an active adopter who wants a cheerful shadow tagging along for life’s outings Buffy has also shown great doggie manners on leashed walks with other pups (meet & greets required), and she even passed her initial cat test! No real interest in them — she’s far more focused on the humans giving her love. At her core, Buffy is a people-oriented sweetheart who just wants affection, attention, and someone to call her person. She’s the kind of dog who will love you with her whole heart, follow you anywhere, and bring so much fun and joy into your days. If you’re looking for a best friend who’s equal parts cuddly, clever, and ready for adventure… Buffy is SO your girl. 💙🐾 Come meet her and see for yourself — this blue beauty is ready to shine in her forever home.

Estrella was born March 5 2025. She is being rehomed because we were fined for having too many dogs. She is a loving pup raised around children, cats and her siblings, who also have to find new homes. She needs a fenced in yard. She is quick, agile and clever.

💛 Meet Lulu — The Little Lovebug Looking for Her Person! 💛 If you’re searching for a sweetheart who mixes gentleness with just the right sprinkle of goofiness, let us introduce you to Lulu! This 1–2-year-old, tan-and-white, 40-pound mixed breed beauty (maybe a hound/pittie blend of perfection) is fully vetted, spayed, and so ready for her forever home. 🌼 What Makes Lulu Special: Lovely Leash Walker: Lulu doesn’t pull and truly enjoys her time outside. She loves walks so much that she occasionally forgets what a straight line is — but hey, joy does that to a girl! She’s improving every day. Sweet, Gentle, and Oh-So-Affectionate: Give this girl a little encouragement or a few pets, and she lights up. Offer her affection, and she’ll stop, stand still like a statue, and soak in every second of your love. Kiss Expert: Lulu is a certified volunteer-kisser — she loves giving and receiving love in equal measure. Doggie Social… with Limits: While she can enjoy walks alongside another dog, Lulu has a bit of a dominant streak. She’d thrive best as the only dog in the home, where she can be the center of your world. 🏡 The Perfect Size & The Perfect Companion: At around 40 pounds, she’s the ideal size for many homes — not too big, not too small, just right. We’re honestly amazed she hasn’t been scooped up yet! Lulu is ready to trade kennel life for a cozy couch, a caring human, and all the snuggles her heart can hold. Come meet this lovely girl — she just might be the missing piece to your home. 💛🐾
