Story
Meet Isabella!! From Spins to Snuggles — the Rodeo Clown of Your Heart Isabella is a 2-year-old, 40-pound Jack Russell terrier mix (with a sprinkle of mystery DNA and a whole lot of personality). She’s sweet, silly, and just quirky enough to keep you laughing. At first, she might hang back and size you up — her “is this human cool?” test. But once you pass, watch out: you’re getting kisses, wiggles, and a lifetime subscription to her comedy show. Her signature move? The spin. When she’s happy, Isabella goes full Spinderella, twirling on her back feet like she’s auditioning for Broadway. Add in her zoomies, her famous “pancake flop” when she’s not ready to move, and her bob-and-weave routine that makes clipping her leash a sport, and you’ve got front-row seats to the funniest rodeo in town. And once the leash is clipped? Boom — she’s off like a racecar at the Indy 500. But don’t let her rodeo clown energy fool you. Inside, Isabella is a world-class snuggler. She settles beautifully with a toy or a cuddle and will happily trade in her rodeo boots for a quiet night in. She’s crate trained, house trained, walks well on leash, and has a wonderfully balanced energy: playful and spunky outside, calm and affectionate inside. She’d adore a fenced yard to show off her spins and zooms, and while she loves the company of other pups, she’d also thrive as the star of your show. Isabella isn’t just a dog — she’s joy, laughter, and love bundled up in one bouncy, goofy package. If you’ve been waiting for a best friend who’ll make you laugh daily and love you endlessly, Isabella is ready to lasso your heart.

Story
My name is Theo, I’m a happy guy who lives for the simple things. If you have a fluffy toy, I will gladly show you my "surgical skills" by pulling all the stuffing out for you! I also think snowstorms are the best thing ever—there’s nothing like doing zoomies in a fresh drift. If it’s not snowing weather, you can usually find me swimming; I’m a total water dog at heart. And when the day is done? I am a professional-level snuggler. Recently, my Mommy had a human baby. I love my family so much, but having a tiny human around makes me anxious. I get way too excited, and because I’m a bouncy guy, I can be a little too rough without meaning to be. It’s been stressful for all of us, and my parents want me to be in a home where I can truly relax and be myself. This is the hardest decision my Mommy & Daddy have had to make so they would love to find a family that wouldn’t mind staying in touch once in a while. A photo or an update here or there would mean the world to them.

He brings a joyful presence to everyday life and thrives when he has a balance of activity and routine.Pokey is friendly, social, eager to engage and loves playing with other dogs. He does well living with cats and generally leaves them alone, showing minimal interest and good respect for their space. Pokey would do best with older kids, 10 and up who can appreciate his playful nature and help reinforce good manners.Pokey is fully house trained and crate trained with consistency and routine. He’s a quick learner and already knows basic commands like sit, down, paw, come, leave it, and off. He’s continuing to work on his leash skills and will keep improving with practice and consistency.Pokey is an always-happy companion who loves being part of the action and then snuggliest boy after a chance to get some energy out. He’s ready for a home that will offer guidance, routine, and plenty of opportunities for fun. Could he be the adventurous sidekick you’ve been waiting for?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.

Story
Meet Trudy! This genuinely sweet gal was found in Puerto Rico, she had previously found shelter in an abandoned house. She was a very happy girl when someone finally came for her and she is ready to go to a home where she will be most cherished for the down-to-earth and wiggly girl she is! She`d love to be snuggled with at night, and she enjoys any kisses and any extra loving that you can spare. Trudy knows how to sit and stay when entering a door, and is pretty good about letting you know when she needs to go outside. She has been fostered with both cats and dogs, she doesn`t seem to mind either or having some new friends. Trudy will bring lots of laughter and love to your family for many years to come!
