Story
Adoption fee:$450 Meet our sweet old lady Gretta. This tiny old girl came in from CACC where she was surrendered to the shelter after ten years. She is a sweet thing who is kennel trained, good with cats, dogs, and just wants a lap that is quiet and safe. Gretta does not need tons of exercise, but she could stand to lose a couple of pounds. Please share this sweet old girl and let's get her in a home as soon as possible. She absolutely does not need to sit and wait.

Story
🐾 Meet Masha & Bear! Masha and Bear came to us together and are learning that life can be a little softer—and a whole lot less scary. 💚 🎀 Masha — Female, approximately 4 years old 🐻 Bear — Male, approximately 3 years old These two are small white dogs with naturally soft, fluffy coats. Based on their size, coat type, and appearance, we believe they may be Shih Tzu, Maltese, or similar small-breed mixes. They arrived severely matted, which left us with very limited grooming options. Both had to be shaved down for their comfort, so don’t let their current haircuts fool you! Once they’ve had some time to decompress, they’ll be ready for a proper spa day to really feel fancy. ✨ Their coats should grow back beautifully—right now they’re just little blank canvases waiting for their glow-up! Masha and Bear clearly know each other and find comfort in being together, but they do not appear to be bonded and can absolutely be adopted separately. Both are a little shy and cautious right now, so we think they would do best in calmer homes where they can decompress, build confidence, and learn to trust at their own pace. Quick movements and lots of activity can be overwhelming while they’re adjusting, so a home without small children would give them the opportunity to come out of their shells without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. For now, we’re giving them the time and space they need to realize they’re safe. Soon enough, we think we’ll be looking at two fluffy, fancy little dogs wondering why anyone ever let them live any other way. 💚🐾✨

Story
Meet Hardy! 🐾 Hardy is a 7-month-old, 8.5 lb Morkie who’s still figuring out this whole “being a family dog” business. As a breeder-release puppy, he’ll need patience, routine, and time to build confidence. Hardy is more cautious and will require a fenced yard and a confident resident dog to help show him that the world isn’t quite as suspicious as he currently believes. With the right family, this little guy has all the makings of a wonderful companion.
