Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bert & Ernie - Tiny Duo, Giant Personalities Some friendships are just meant to last forever, and Bert and Ernie are proof of that. These two tiniest terriers found themselves out on the streets when their beloved family fell on hard times and had to move somewhere that didn't allow pups. Thankfully, a kind neighbor stepped in and kept them safe until they were shelter bound - and when we saw just how little they were, we knew we had to squeeze them in. And oh boy, are we glad we did. Bert and Ernie may be tiny, but their personalities are absolutely enormous. They like to puff themselves up and act like the toughest guys on the block, especially around bigger dogs, but it's mostly just a bit of terrier theatrics. Truthfully, these boys have spent some time looking out for themselves, so they come in a little sassy and a little suspicious - but once you're in their club, you're in. And when that happens, you'll discover just how funny, affectionate, and downright delightful these two really are. These boys are completely bonded and will not be separated for adoption. Trust us on this one - you don't just want Bert and Ernie. Two tiny dogs, double the personality, and a lifetime of laughter waiting for the lucky human who brings them home. If you want to be that lucky human, please fill out our application here.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2026, 1:18 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Otto - The Tiny Tornado of Charm & Sass Otto isn't just any Maltese mix - he's a one-of-a-kind spark plug wrapped in fluff with a heart as big as his personality. At around 9 months old and weighing in at a sprightly 11-12 pounds, Otto is still figuring out this whole "growing up" thing - but he's doing it in style. Otto came to us after finding it tough to share space with a toddler. Honestly, we get it - being a toddler himself, Otto just wasn't ready for the grabby hands and constant attention. He's a sensitive soul with a strong sense of self. Sometimes he's the life of the party, and other times he's off with his doggie crew doing important dog things (read: zoomies, stick inspection, tail-chasing strategy meetings). Playtime? Count him in. Other dog? Love them. Small children? Not his vibe. Because of his past, Otto's ideal home is one without kids under 10. He's looking for a family that gets his balance of cuddle time and "me time." He has some puppy manners to polish up, but he makes up for it with buckets of love and a truly special personality. Otto's not just looking for a home - he's looking for a teammate, a playmate, a soft place to land when the world gets a little too loud. If you've got the patience to let him grow, and the heart to love him just as he is, Otto might just be your forever sidekick. Currently accepting applications here for Best Friend positions - must love dogs and tolerate a little sass!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 11, 2026, 12:33 am
