Story
My pets name is Dinky. He is about eight years old. My husband got him from a rescue years ago. He is a great dog and has dog friends in the neighborhood. My husband passed away in August 2025, leaving me to sell the house and move into an apartment. Dinky loves the outdoors he loves to be in the backyard and he loves to play outside. I know that he would not be happy being confined into an apartment I work full-time and babysit a couple of nights after work. I will not have time to go home and be there for walks.He is use to having a doggie door. He has an excellent temperament. He doesn’t get aggressive. He doesn’t get upset. He’s protective over children and other animals that have been with him. He’s a very smart dog. He listens well and knows when you’re talking about him. He thinks that he’s a little dog so he gets on the bed and he gets on the couch and he gets into dog beds. He’s very loving and very affectionate. I’m hoping somebody can give him a home with a yard.

Story
This little girl was found starving and living on the streets. Her finding angel was scared she was going to be hit by a car. They picked her up and searched for her family. She was in obviousgu need of veterinary care. She was absolute skin and bones. She certainly isn't chunky now but she has gained enough weight to be deemed healthy enough to be spayed and vaccinated. She is a very happy little girl despite the rough life she has had so far. She appears to be just about a year old and is under 10 pounds. She has such a happy spirit! We would love for her to find a family that will love her and treat her like the treasure we know she is!

Story
A crispy, refreshing Cola is the perfect treat for every day! This fluffy little fella was initially part of a litter we took in right before the holidays. Since he was just three weeks old at the time, he has spent the last month learning and growing in foster care! Now, Cola is perfectly chilled just for you. Cola is a pretty quiet pup with an affectionate temperament, according to his foster dad. He gets along perfectly with the other dogs in his foster home, and also keeps the kids entertained! Overall, this guy is lowkey and well-behaved. He is catching on to his potty training quickly, and he crates perfectly at night. While Cola isn't much of a troublemaker, he is still a little dopey with a classic stubborn puppy streak. He will benefit from firm and consistent training in his new home, so that he is just as lovable in adulthood! While we don't know much about his breed, we think it must be something along the lines of "ice-cold, sugary sweet supermutt." So, will you give Cola a try? Apply to meet him today!
