Story
Daisy is an adorable 5.5month-old mix — possibly a combination of Pug, Maltese, and Brussels Griffon (our best guess based on her looks and personality!). With her cute smooshy face, soft lower-shed coat, and lively spirit, Daisy is a little ray of sunshine just waiting for her forever home. She came to us from the Central Valley after being found abandoned in an orchard, but today, Daisy is thriving in her foster home and showing off her big personality every day. She’s about 11 pounds now and will likely stay a perfect small-to-medium size once fully grown — probably around 20 pounds. One of the best things about Daisy is that while she has some adorable Pug features, she doesn’t have the heavy breathing problems that many Pugs do. Instead, she’s full of life, energy, and a little bit of classic puppy mischief! As a young puppy, Daisy is still very much a blank canvas. She has no formal training yet, so she’s looking for a family who: Has the time, patience, and financial means to invest in her growth. Can provide consistent training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Understands the typical puppy stages — including teething, chewing, and learning how to be her best self! Daisy is also incredibly affectionate and cuddly, always ready to snuggle up when playtime is done. She hasn’t quite figured out toys yet, but with a little time and encouragement, we’re sure she’ll discover how fun they can be. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, silly, and lovable puppy into your life — one who will adore you endlessly and grow into a wonderful companion — Daisy may be your perfect match. ?

Story
Juju turned 5 on May 28th, and weve had her since she was a puppy. Shes being re-homed to give her the life she deserves. Our lifestyle is chaotic, and Juju does better when things are peaceful. She does well with other dogs and kids, but is slow to warm up to most adults. Shes only 10 lbs, and has a calm temperament. She loves going on walks, and will drag you down the street if you let her. She loves to play fetch, and loves to learn. She knows: sit, lay down, roll over, come, up, quiet and is eager to learn more. She uses a dog door to go outside, but the stress of our lifestyle has caused some indoor accidents. When she is with her sitter, she is 100% accident free. Juju does not enjoy swimming, or bathing, but will sit fairly patiently for her regular grooming session as long as she gets plenty of breaks. She is fine being crated for short periods, although she used to sleep in a crate at night. Juju needs a calmer lifestyle for her forever home and we hope she can find it!

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis dog is available to meet by appointment only.  Millie is a 4-year-old, 10-pound Maltese mix who’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and understood. Life hasn’t always been easy for this sensitive girl, and she needs time and space to build trust—but for someone patient and experienced with shy, defensive pups, Millie has so much love to give. In her foster home, Millie has been slowly coming out of her shell. She enjoys spending time with other small dogs, walks politely on leash, and is starting to show interest in toys. She's mostly house trained, uses pee pads, and loves her meals—especially when there’s cheese involved. Millie has a skin condition (pyoderma) that requires regular medicated baths and vet follow-up, and she’s been a great sport about it once she feels secure. She’s looking for an adult-only home with an adopter who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. With time, patience, and a gentle routine, Millie will blossom into a loyal, loving companion. If you believe in the beauty of a slow-growing bond, Millie is waiting for you! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.June 29, 2025, 8:35 pm
