If you’re looking for a puppy who will make you smile every single day, Chia might just be your girl. This adorable little sweetheart is full of curiosity, playfulness, and puppy charm. With her bright eyes, wiggly tail, and lovable personality, it’s almost impossible not to fall in love with her the moment you meet her. Chia is the perfect mix of sweet and playful. She loves exploring the world around her like a tiny adventurer, sniffing every corner and discovering all the fun things life has to offer. Everything is exciting when you’re a puppy, and Chia approaches life with that wonderful puppy curiosity that makes every day feel like a new adventure. Watch her YouTube video now!! https://youtu.be/hjS2on19Qn0?si=FQ0p8rsKJgKqcAO4 Playtime is one of Chia’s favorite parts of the day. She plays in the cutest way possible, bouncing around with toys, pouncing like a tiny little fox, and happily entertaining herself or anyone nearby who wants to join in on the fun. Watching her play is guaranteed to brighten your day—she has that joyful puppy energy that makes everything feel a little happier. And if there’s one thing Chia absolutely loves, it’s treats. The moment she hears a treat bag crinkle, her attention is locked in and her tail starts wagging with excitement. Treat time might be her favorite time, and it’s also a great opportunity for bonding and training. With how much she loves snacks, she’ll likely be a quick learner when it comes to learning new things. Chia also has a very sweet and affectionate side. After she’s had a good play session and burned off some of that puppy energy, she enjoys being close to her people and soaking up love and attention. She has such a gentle, loving presence that makes her a wonderful little companion. Because Chia is still a young puppy, she is just at the beginning of learning about the world. She will need a family who understands that puppies require patience, guidance, and commitment as they grow. Things like house training, learning manners, and basic training are all part of raising a puppy—but those moments are also part of the special journey of watching them grow into an amazing lifelong companion. The family who adopts Chia will get to experience all the wonderful stages of puppyhood—her silly playtime, her sweet cuddly moments, the excitement when she learns something new, and the incredible bond that forms between a dog and their people. Chia is ready to find a loving home where she can continue growing, playing, learning, and being the adorable little puppy she is. In return, she promises a lifetime of loyalty, love, laughter, and plenty of happy tail wags. If you’re ready for a sweet, playful puppy who will bring endless joy to your life, Chia might be the perfect addition to your family. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69b19628f30bbcfeaf03b5c4 Questions?

He will meet you with a polite hello and a how-do-you-do, but will meet your dog like they are besties from a past life. This is Hondo and he is here for the dogs, you too of course but he loves a fun dog! Go watch Hondo on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this sweet boy. https://youtu.be/UvEwjNjYhxA Hondo is estimated to be around 9 months old and weighs 25 lbs. He appears to be some kind of shepherd mix… just in a more compact, pocket-sized version. As always with rescue, breed and age are our best guess and we suspect he has a little more growing to do but not much. What we do know is that he is a gentle, sensitive young dog who is still figuring out the big wide world outside of his loving foster home. Right now, Hondo’s confidence comes from other dogs. He truly lights up when he’s around sweet, playful companions and looks to them for guidance. In his foster home, he lives with both dogs and cats and has done well with everyone. He’s the kind of dog who benefits from a calm, friendly canine buddy to show him the ropes and help him feel secure. You can almost see it happen in real time… the confidence getting a bit bigger when he has a friend by his side. During introductions, Hondo can be unsure at first and may ask for space, which is very fair for a young dog still learning. But once he realizes he’s safe, he settles in nicely. He’ll start with a few sniffs, then ease into gentle play, and before you know it, he’s part of the group. He handles different play styles thoughtfully too, even when things get a bit overwhelming, he chooses to pause and regroup rather than escalate. With new people, Hondo is sweet with a dash of unsureness in new situations but he has shown that he is tolerant and thoughtful, never looking to react negatively, just slightly withdraw while he grows into his comfort. He simply needs time, patience, and kind, consistent interactions to help him understand that each new person he meets is safe and just as wonderful as his dog friends. One thing you can rely on it within moments of meeting him is that treats are welcome! Hondo loves them and takes them with the gentlest mouth, which will be such a helpful tool as he continues to grow and learn. He’s a young dog with a lot of potential, and with the right environment, you’ll get to watch that confidence bloom in the most rewarding way. Hondo would do best in a home with another kind, social dog who can help guide him, and with adopters who understand that connection is something he builds over time, not something he gives away instantly. If you appreciate the quiet, meaningful kind of bond… the kind you build together, Hondo is exactly your kind of dog. Apply today to welcome Hondo into you and your dogs life. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69c403a03a016968500464c0 Questions?
