🚨 ADOPT ALBUS: APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN TO THE 0.1% 🚨 We need to talk about Albus. Albus is tiny. Albus is adorable. Albus looks like a washed-up rock star who just did a line of coke in the bathroom and is now ready to fight the sound guy. And Albus hates people. 😂 Not all people, probably. Just approximately 99.9% of them. Men? Suspicious. Women? Also suspicious. Children? Absolutely not. Strangers? How dare you. People who want to pet him immediately? Prepare to be judged and sentenced. Dogs? 👍 Cats? 👍 The funny thing is, underneath all 7 pounds of rage, questionable hair choices, and wildly misplaced confidence, there IS a little dog capable of loving someone. He just isn't handing that shit out for free. Albus needs a patient person who doesn't expect instant affection. Someone who will give him space, respect his boundaries, let him decompress, and understand that earning his trust may take time. He doesn't need someone who wants every dog to love them immediately. He needs his person. And we KNOW that person is out there. Someone is going to look at this tiny, disgruntled gas-station-cigarette of a dog and think: “Yep. That's my asshole.” ❤️ Albus is soon to be neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and dog/cat friendly. Is adopting him statistically a questionable decision? Perhaps. But if you think you might be part of the 0.1% of humanity Albus decides doesn't suck, we'd love to hear from you. Please understand that submitting an application does not guarantee Albus will like you.

Story
I'm Mitch, an 11-year-old cream and white Maltese mix with a heart as big as they come! 🐕 At just 14.6 pounds, I'm the perfect lap-dog size, and I'm gentle, affectionate, and genuinely friendly with everyone I meet. I'm a smart boy who loves being close to my people — whether that's snuggling on the couch or following you around the house. Come meet me and discover why seniors like me make the most grateful, loving companions. 💕

Story
I adopted Eddie as a pup from a breeder. She celebrated her 2nd birthday on June 17, 2026. I am encountering a physical situation that has determined my decision to put Eddee up for adoption. She should be in a family environment. She loves people and other dogs.

Story
We have loved our time with Ghost. He gets along great with my small young kiddos and we’ve had him since he was about 4 months old. He definitely requires a little extra attention he’s just got a very sensitive small stomach and it makes it tough with our small children, if he gets their table scraps or small toys it messes with his system very easily. We are moving kind of last minute into the country and just don’t think he’ll do well in that environment with wanting to explore and eat everything that typically makes him sick. He does ok with our other dog (pitbull) but he does bark at her all the time and as she gets older it’s just stressful on her. He does great with our other Pomeranian, loves to play. We just think a family or person that could give him more of the time and play he needs would be perfect for him and he just deserves more attention than we can give him currently.
