Story

Toffee Rose is a very sweet dog with adults (she has not been exposed to children). She is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and she is quiet (rarely barks). She is OK around other pets but has moderate resource guarding behavior/possession aggression so she would do best being in an independent home without other dogs as well as cats. She really enjoys her walks but also loves being a couch potato.

To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $700 Meet Bob Marley! When Bob Marley, a 5 year old, 11 lb Poodle mix, arrived at the shelter, he was buried under severe mats and dreadlocks— so caked with urine, feces, and filth that the dog underneath was barely visible. Every tug of his coat caused him pain. Volunteers removed what they safely could, and at his professional grooming appointment, Bob had to be shaved all the way down. Now, beneath all that, a sweet, expressive Poodle mix has emerged— clean, comfortable, and ready to start fresh. His beautiful, fluffy coat will grow back, but Bob’s gentle heart is already on full display. A Day in the Life Bob wakes up between 7–9am, then heads into the backyard for a potty break and some morning playtime— anywhere from 30 minutes to a full hour. Breakfast follows: one cup of kibble topped with a jerky treat. On workdays, Bob accompanies his foster to the doggy salon. He enjoys calmly roaming around, taking in the activity, and sometimes interacting with other dogs. He also gets a short crate break to relax. On days off, the routine is the same, with added walks or zoomies around the house. His second meal is between 6–8pm. Personality & Progress In his first few days, Bob was anxious— pacing, struggling to settle. But as he began to feel safe, his tension slowly melted away. Now he can nap on his own, sleep through the night without whining, and relax comfortably even when his foster steps away. Bob is a loving, affectionate, people-centered dog. He adores cuddles, thrives on attention, and is happiest when he’s near someone. He’s a classic velcro companion, following his person from room to room— but at bedtime, if he feels he’s gotten enough love for the day, he’ll put himself to bed without fuss. He’s tender, expressive, and truly just wants to belong. Energy Level & Play Style Bob has a spirited, lively personality. He enjoys activity, backyard time, and being included. He’s playful, bright, alert, and always ready for interaction. But he also knows how to settle and relax. He’s not a hyper dog—just an enthusiastic one with a happy tail and a big heart. Leash Skills Bob has gone on walks and does well overall—he doesn’t pull, doesn’t bark at other dogs, and isn’t distracted by squirrels. However, he may chew on his leash when he gets excited. With routine and consistency, this should improve easily. Why Adopt Bob Marley? Because he’s special. Bob is joyful, loving, enthusiastic, and incredibly endearing. He has the biggest heart and a bright, expressive spirit. After surviving neglect, he hasn’t lost his faith in people—he still offers unconditional love, trust, and sweetness. He’s the kind of dog who lights up a room with his wagging tail, who wants to be part of everything you do, and who will reward your love with limitless devotion. Foster Favorite Bob’s foster says her favorite thing is his unbelievable ability to spread joy. Whether it’s his happy tail, his energy, or just the pure love he radiates, Bob makes every day better. His presence alone can lift a mood—and he’s always ready to cuddle close and let you know he adores you.December 12, 2025, 3:44 am

Story

Tink is an 8-year-old miniature poodle that we adopted when she was one year old. She loves being around her family, and enjoys playing fetch, tug-of-war, rolling her ball off of every ledge imaginable, and sleeping in the sun. Finding a nice, quiet sun patch might be her favorite thing to do! Most of the time, Tink is calm and playful; however, she is a reactive dog and does have a bite history. About one year after adoption, she bit me in the face as I was leaning in to kiss her, but did not realize she had a treat near her. This did cause bleeding, but the bite was superficial. Recently, she nipped at our two week old baby when she was crying. This did not leave a mark, and was a 'corrective nip'. We had spoken with a couple behavioralists, and both seemed to think this behavior can be corrected. Tink is seeking a loving and quiet home where she is the only pet, and a home that is not too active, as she does not like to be left alone for long periods.

Story

Meet Mojo, a senior Miniature Poodle mix with a gentle spirit and a quiet charm all his own. At first glance, Mojo may seem a bit aloof-he prefers to take life at his own pace, nose to the ground, following all the interesting scents the world has to offer. But spend a little time with him, and you'll start to see the sweet, subtle ways he shows affection. One of Mojo's most endearing habits is his little happy hop dance. The moment he spots the leash, he rises up on his hind legs in an excited, polite beg, ready for a leisurely stroll. Walks are one of his favorite parts of the day, and he enjoys taking his time, exploring the world with calm curiosity.Mojo may not be a full-on snuggle bug, but that doesn't mean he isn't loving. He's the kind of companion who enjoys simply being near you-sharing space, sharing moments, and offering quiet companionship without demanding too much in return. This sweet senior is looking for a calm, patient home where he can continue to enjoy life's simple pleasures. If you're searching for a gentle, easygoing partner who will bring a steady warmth to your days, Mojo just might be the perfect match. Primary Color: White Weight: 10.9 Age: 10yrs 0mths 3wks
