Story
Meet Spirit Spirit may be a puppy with a disability, but don’t tell her that—she has no idea! This happy, affectionate girl is full of love and joy. Her favorite things include snuggling on a soft bed or curling up right in your lap for a nap after a good play session. Spirit is paralyzed in her back end due to a stable spinal fracture that cannot be surgically repaired. She cannot use her back legs and has no control over stool or urine, but her elimination is reflexive and does not require intervention as long as amounts remain normal. Despite this, Spirit doesn’t let her condition slow her down one bit—she’s just as playful and silly as any other pup. She’s very social and loves meeting new people, especially kids. Spirit gets along well with other dogs and is curious about cats—though her playful energy and eagerness to chase may be a bit much for some feline friends. Like most puppies, Spirit is learning the ropes of the world. She’s working on playing fetch, enjoys sunny days outdoors, and thinks wagon rides are the best way to go on walks. She’s even dipped her paws into swimming at the lake! True to puppy form, she does like to explore the world with her mouth, so she’ll need continued guidance as she grows. At night, Spirit settles nicely in her crate and sleeps soundly when things are quiet. She’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly—always ready for fun, but happiest snuggled up next to her people. If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient puppy who will bring sunshine, silliness, and snuggles into your life, Spirit just might be your match! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Meet Petunia! 🌸 Petunia is a sweet Boston Terrier who came to us from a breeder release and is ready to experience the love and comfort of a forever home. This adorable girl absolutely loves people and is happiest wherever her humans are. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or working around the house, Petunia wants to be right there with you! Petunia is a happy, wiggly girl who does a little dance when you come home or open her crate in the morning. She is doing great with potty training, keeps her crate clean, rarely barks, and is quick to learn and adapt to new situations. She enjoys walks, although she’s just as happy being a couch potato afterward. Petunia does well with cats in the home and mostly ignores them, but she gets very excited when she sees cats outside because she thinks everyone should be her friend! She is still learning about toys but loves being involved in whatever her people are doing. If you're looking for a loving, silly, people-focused companion who will always be excited to see you, Petunia may be the perfect match! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Meet Lovely 💕 Lovely is a 1-year-old mixed breed who truly lives up to her name! This sweet mama came to us from a rural shelter in Texas with her puppies, Lord, Tish, Tote, Ms. Fluffy, and Potts, and now she’s ready to start a new chapter of her own. We’re still getting to know Lovely and watching more of her personality come out each day. So far, she’s been a lovely girl who is adjusting to her new surroundings and learning what life outside of being a mama is all about. At just a year old, Lovely is still young herself! She’s working on her puppy basics, manners, and routines and would love a family who can continue helping her learn as she settles into home life. Lovely has spent so much time taking care of her babies—now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby. 💗 If you’re looking for a sweet young dog to grow with, Lovely may be the perfect addition to your family! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.
