Meet Sammie. our people-loving baby boy! He loves to snuggle up next to you or lay on the cool floor just next to his dog bed. He enjoys shadowing his family and helping with everyday chores. He does well with kids of all ages and stays close by your side, but not so close he becomes a trip-hazard. Sammie is crate-trained and has great recall. He's fine-tuning his leash skills and very close to being housetrained as well. Sammie would love to go on walks with you and come back home to snuggles in your favorite cuddle spot. Apply now to give Sammie the home he so deserves!

Meet Willow, our newest sweetheart! She came to us with her brother Sammie when her owners realized they had more dogs than comfortable space. She loves to be out and about with her family, enjoying daily walks and meeting new people. She relishes lazing on the couch or dog bed and getting lots of cuddles and pets. Gentle and loving, she does well with other animals, even her senior 4-legged friends. Willow is house-trained, crate-trained, and couch-ready. She knows basic commands and aims to please. She always wants to be near her family, settling in nicely when you need to get some work done, and willing to give you a walk break too. Willow would love to be your new best friend!

Meet Gemma! Gemma is a sweet girl who has shown a bsolutely zero aggression. She is a bit nervous, and needs some patience when she’s learning her environment and new skills. In hard to navigate situations she is happy to be carried. She seems to like children and dogs, though can get anxious with prolonged chaos.  She sleeps very nicely both in her kennel and her foster  mom’s  bed. She will cry if she needs to go to the bathroom (and should be taken out immediately to prevent accidents) but will go right back in her crate. Her foster family has yet to hear her bark! She would do best in a calm environment but seems to love all humans and other animals so far. It does not seem like she has been trained previously, so things like “sit”, walking up stairs, and “come” need to be worked on. She walks on a leash but does go very slow because she wants to sniff it all and sometimes can get nervous.  Be warned, she will follow you around the house, but if you work from home she will sleep quietly at your feet. She is about 4 years old, 10 pounds, and a poodle so won’t shed but will require regular grooming.
