Story
Joyful and playful husky/shepherd mix seeks a new home due to medical issues in the current home. She was adopted from Texas six years ago and has been much loved and cared for. She is friendly with adults, children and other dogs. She is house trained and knows her basic commands. She has been a regular at the dog park and everyone there loves her. She is ready for her next adventure and needs more opportunities to run and play then we can give her. We are confident she will bon to her new person and adjust to her new home in no time at all!

Story
Meet the Summer Game Puppies! We were rescued from a grocery store parking lot, where someone was giving us away for free. Thankfully, a kind-hearted rescuer stepped in and saved us just in time. Based on a photo of our mom that our foster momma saw, we’re guessing we’re boxer/lab mixes. Our dad? A large black dog of mystery—so your guess is as good as ours! Whatever our mix, we’re 100% adorable and 100% puppy. We’ve received all our age-appropriate vaccines and medical care, and now we’re growing up in a loving foster home. We are classic puppies: full of energy, super playful, a little mischievous, and still learning what we can and can’t chew. We’re working on our manners every day with our foster momma, and we're quick learners! With summer just around the corner, we’ve been given names inspired by fun summer games—because that’s exactly what we’re all about: sunshine, playtime, and bringing joy. Ready to add a little fun to your life? Come meet one of the Summer Game Puppies and find your perfect match!

Story
Bosco is a happy boy. He loves everyone of all ages, animals, loves car rides, going outdoors and cuddles. He still loves to run around and play with toys and is house trained. He knows to sit, lay down, down, come here, shakes hands and no. He is not that hyper but has his playful moments. No health issues. I want to find him a loving home. I lost my housing and need to rehome him into a loving home where he will be played with and get cuddles.

Story
Honey Rainbow | The Goofy Girl with a Whole Lot of Kisses Honey Rainbow is one of those puppies who seems determined to make sure you're always smiling. She's silly, goofy, incredibly affectionate, and always ready to smother her people in kisses. Add in her happy little face and a tongue that's almost always flopping out the side of her mouth, and Honey has a way of making herself pretty hard to resist. Honey recently turned 5 months old and weighs approximately 28 lbs. She is a Pit Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier mix from the Rainbow litter. She's growing into a fun, social girl with plenty of personality, plenty of puppy energy, and absolutely no shortage of affection to hand out. If there's fun happening, Honey would very much like to be included. Watch Honey and her sister in action here, then come right back to read more! She's an especially playful puppy who loves running around, interacting with other dogs, and finding something entertaining to do. She's friendly with both people and dogs and approaches life with a happy, social personality. Whether she's playing with a canine friend or being silly with her people, Honey throws herself into the fun. And when she comes back to check in with you, prepare yourself. Honey is a kisser. She's the kind of girl who happily gets right up close and starts handing them out like they're free. Her big smile and signature sideways tongue only add to the comedy. She's expressive, joyful, and just a little ridiculous in the best possible way. Honey also loves toys, which is especially helpful while she's working through all the normal mouthy and chewy stages that come with puppyhood. She responds well to correction and redirection, so giving her an appropriate toy when she needs one works well. Continuing to provide plenty of things she's allowed to chew and play with will help set her up for success as she grows. She's also a big fan of treats, making food another useful tool for training and reinforcing all the good choices she's learning to make. Honey is still young, but she's showing that with clear guidance, positive reinforcement, and consistency, she's ready to keep learning. Honey is doing well with potty training and will need her future family to continue building on the progress she's already made. She also does great having her collar and leash put on, giving her a nice foundation for continuing to learn her leash skills and eventually heading out on adventures with her family. She's familiar with the crate as well, although Honey has a little more to say about it. She can be vocal when she's crated, but she's improving with time. Continued positive crate practice, consistency, and patience will help her learn that settling independently is just another normal part of her routine. Honey has not been socialized with cats yet, so we don't want to predict how she'll feel about feline roommates. Any future introduction to a cat should be done slowly, thoughtfully, and with appropriate supervision. At 5 months old, Honey is still learning. She's going to need continued potty training, crate practice, appropriate outlets for chewing, socialization, and guidance as she grows. Like any puppy, what she needs most is a family willing to provide routine, consistency, patience, love, and support while helping her become the adult dog she's capable of being. And Honey will make sure the process isn't boring. There will be toys. There will be goofy puppy antics. There will probably be some opinions from the crate. And there will be a lot of kisses. Honey Rainbow is a happy, affectionate, playful little girl who's ready to find the family she'll grow up with. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a tongue that rarely seems to stay where it's supposed to, Honey is ready to bring all of her silliness, sweetness, and puppy love home.
