Story

Mochi is a 7-year old male Chihuahua Mix from Nevada. He is a very affectionate boy that loves people, playing, and going for walks. He is very good with kids and loves the attention. The reason we are looking for a new home for him is because we have a small child and an infant that cry all the time and we think their screams hurt his ears and he yelps very loudly and tries to hide. His yelps make the kids cry harder and their cries make him cry harder. We wish it wasn’t so but we think it gives him a lot of stress and anxiety and isn’t the right environment for him. He is a good boy that deserves a home that’s right for him with people that can play with him more often and provide a less stressful environment.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello, Angel is a lively 3 year old that is the sweetest thing. She love to cuddle and give kisses. She is fully house broken and is a good eater. She loves to run when you can get her in an open space. She eats dry food with a little wet mixed in to make it more appetizing. She does well with other dogs as well as cats. She is up to date with her shots, but she does take allergy medicine but it is not prescribed. I get them at Amazon. I am looking for someone who will spend time with her, take her out to have fun and to just give her love. I would not be re-homing her if I wasn't having health issues, but I am not able to take care of her any longer.

Story

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I am laid back and love a simple routine, but am also excited to explore the world. Though I cherish quiet moments like basking in the sun, I can easily be convinced to go for a walk, a hike, or even pull my owner on a skateboard! Me and my toy ball are inseparable and I'm always eager for a game of fetch or tug of war with it. My independent spirit means I'm content on my own but always loyal to those I love. I've also mastered the art of being super attentive to human's moods and am always ready to offer love, cuddles, and gentle kisses during anxious or hard times. Because I was attacked as a puppy, other big dogs make me upset, however I get along with some smaller dogs and my brother (who is also looking for a new home). Ideally, we could be adopted together, but I'm also perfectly content being an only pet. If you're looking for a sweet soul to share in both peaceful and playful times, I'm your girl!

She’s a very smart dog. Loves attention. Loves her belly getting scratched. She’s crate trained. We trained her with a shock collar but shock her twice the entire time we’ve had her. She was raised with cats and birds. She doesn’t like small dogs. But we have not reintroduced her to small dogs. She’s full of energy for age.

Story

💙 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.
