Story
Meet Bonnie and Bob!Bonnie and Bob, our bonded duo, came to us from a rescue after receiving them from a breeder. They are still learning what it means to be loved pets but are currently shy and unsocialized. They have not mastered walking on a leash and would do best in a home with a secure, physical fenced yard where they can safely potty, play, and learn new skills.They’re comfortable using potty pads but will need a patient adopter willing to teach them new routines and skills at their own pace. Fast movements and loud noises can be scary for them, so a calm, adult-only home with gentle guidance would be best. They don’t do well with small dogs but may thrive alongside a larger, confident dog who can help show them the ropes. Bonnie and Bob would just need proper introductions to other animals to make sure everyone gets along well.With Bonnie and Bob being considered high maintenance due to their grooming needs, and since they have not had experience with a groomer, they will need to be groomed with sedation or medication from a vet until they have had time to trust new experiences. They are looking for someone who understands that progress may be slow and that their affection may look different than most other dogs. With time, consistency, and compassion, these two will learn to blossom into wonderful companions for someone that is ready to help them feel safe and loved.

Story
Meet Ricky!!Ricky is an owner surrender thru no fault of his own. Ricky is a Maltese mix that is a little is shy and cautious when meeting new people but has gained confidence from being in a foster home. He`s good with the other small dogs at his home and has become playful! We do not know what he thinks of cats but is an avid bird and squirrel watcher. Given that Ricky is still needing some time to warm up to new people, a home with older children or no children may be best for him. He is doing well with going outside to potty but will also use potty pads if needed. He walks well on a leash but would love a home with a fenced yard where he can explore safely. Ricky can be quite vocal, so shared walls would not be the best fit for him. He does kennel at night in his foster home.If you would like to meet Ricky, please complete our online adoption application.

Story
Meet Snarl! Don`t be fooled by his name! He is the sweetest little lap dog you`ll ever meet. Snarl is a 14 lb boy who has a calm personality and wants to please humans and other dogs. He is a little shy but even just a month after his rescue he`s doing great and starting to feel comfortable with new people.Snarl likes toys and other dogs, but he`s a little scared of loud noises. He really loves to greet his human when they come home and needs lots of snuggles. He is doing pretty well on leash walking but still needs a fenced yard because he isn`t comfortable going potty on the leash yet. Snarl had a little injury to his mouth as a young pup that damaged his lip, but he is still just as cute as ever and it doesn`t hurt him. Please meet Snarl and you`ll see what a little sweet treasure he is!
