Story
Meet Anita! This spunky little gal could be the perfect addition to your home! Bouncing back from a rough start this 3 month old gal loves to play! 🐾 Anita came in as a surrender from PCAPS, after a tough start being in a home with children who were not nice to her, this meaning that Anita is not the biggest fans of the mini humans that run around! Anita and her foster mom are working on comfortability with being touched everywhere, handled, etc. She is taking small steps som days, big steps other days.. either way she is growing and learning! 💞 She has not yet gone through anything with children again because we are still working on with how she does with adults. At this time her foster mom believes a place with older children or no children would be a better home for her, that would be willing to adopt and work with her to get her more comfortable with smaller children as it is noticeable how everything that has happened to her has effected her. Anita is dog friendly, loves to cuddle, play with her toys, and take naps! Anita is foster to adopt available at the moment, and will be fully adoptable after her spay coming soon! 🤍

Story
Skye was born in September 2025 and is a dog that MUST have another pup in the home! She is fantastic with her canine friends and loves to cuddle up with them. She is cat social and likes kids. Skye starts out on the shy side with humans but warms up to them once she knows they are friendly. She likes to play and is happiest with people that give her time to build her confidence. We just love our sweet girl!
