Story
Whose leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here? Meet Brian Griffin! This 1-year old lab mix extraordinaire came to us from Quahog, uhhh, we mean local animal control after being picked up as a stray and is quite impressive! Our Brian is not exactly cultured, doesn’t speak fluent French, and definitely isn’t a member of MENSA. He can’t imitate a barbershop quartet without accompaniment, doesn’t have the opposable thumbs to drive a second-generation Toyota Prius, and isn’t a pretentious pseudo intellectual wanna-be author. But he IS witty, intelligent, and has a wonderful sense of humor…he makes a game of removing all of the pillows from the bed and making a pillow fort to impress his humans and has his routine down pat.  Brian is seriously fun loving, friendly, affectionate, confident, and would do so well in so many homes. He lives with a large pittie and a cat and wants to be BFFs with everyone. Like a typical youngster, he is playfully active. He loves walks but can keep himself busy with toys as well. Though truth be told, making new human friends and interacting with people in general is more his style and will gladly ride co-pilot in the car with his head in the crook of your arm. His heart-shaped nose and freckled salt and pepper pendant ears are beyond adorable. And that guyliner?! Pete Wentz and Adam Lambert would be proud!  Brian has a softness in everything he is and everything he does…his eyes, his soul, his fur, his snuggling. He is quick to trust and bonds to humans faster than the speed of love. We know he will be irreplaceable in his future family’s lives and just needs a Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, or even Quagmire to call his own. Due to his age, size, and lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this Family Guy! Brian Griffin’s top 3 priorities: 1. Brian is a love bug and needs a family who will let him be close to them always, which includes cuddling on the couch and snuggling in bed every night. 2. A family filled with LOVE and one who isn’t afraid to show it. 3. A family who will take Brian to a basic obedience class to continue to develop basic manners and make him into the best version of himself. November 4, 2025, 11:33 am

Story
Riley is a wonderful dog with so much love to give. She is great with kids and very alert, making her an excellent watchdog who will bark to let you know when something’s going on. She is fully house-trained and knows several commands. Riley would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can get the attention and stability she deserves. Due to my work travel and limited time, I’m unable to provide that right now, and it’s not fair to her. This decision comes from wanting what’s best for Riley and finding her a home where she can truly thrive.

Story
🎉Meet Chance🎉 Chance, based on our best guess is middle age lab mix with a heart of gold. With his long legs and adorable features he’s the kind of dog that is ready for action and adventure or a quiet cuddly evening on the couch. Chance is fully house trained, crate trained and has even spent time with a professional trainer so his manners match his good looks. This boy knows all of his obedience and is also off leash reliable. 🎾❤️🐶 Chance would thrive with first time dog owners due to how easy going and fun his personality is. He would also be an amazing sport dog prospect for a more dog savvy owner. (He can jump like you’ve never seen before and is FAST) 🐾🤩 Chance has been such a wonderful addition to our home during his stay as a foster, whoever scoops him up is going to be one lucky family. If you’re interested in matching Chance, or know someone who may be don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule a meet and greet! 💕
