Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700   Papaya is a 3 year old Papillon mix who is looking for her fruit salad forever family! This gorgeous gal landed at the local shelter when her former family was moving and decided not to take her along for the ride. Well, we knew that we couldn’t leave this smiling gal behind so we scooped her up and promised her the best second chance ever. She knows her best is yet to come and so do we! Papaya has a gorgeous coat and fantastic ears that give her sparkling personality an added bonus! We know this gal would be the pick of the farmer’s market, just as she will be the pick of her forever family.    Papaya is a curious, smart, and playful girl who is just as cute as can be! She is very friendly and affectionate and would love a best friend in her forever person. She would be happy following you to the ends of the Earth, and will take on any adventure, as long as she can do it by your side. Papaya adores her toys and tosses her rope toy to herself happily for hours at a time. She loves showing off her ever-expanding list of skills for her impressed foster parents. Papaya has a fabulous mix of playful and chill energy. She’s just as up for a brisk walk as she is for a movie marathon on the couch. What more could you ask for in man’s best friend! Papaya will fit in perfectly in a home that is ready to show her the world! She has such a love for the simple things in life and we know her future looks so bright.  Papaya wakes up at 7 AM and goes outside for a potty trip. After she comes inside for breakfast, she does some zoomies around the house. Throughout the day as her foster parents work, she follows them around the house, checks in on them and gets up to her doggy routines. She loves a good game of fetch, dragging her pile of soft toys around the living room, and zooming around the backyard. She gets dinner at 6 PM and then spends some more time in the yard having fun. In the evening, she relaxes on the couch with her foster family soaking up cuddles and kisses. After one last potty trip, she heads to her dog bed where she tucks herself into bed for the night.  Papaya gets along well with other dogs as long as she has an introduction. Eventually, she can make anyone her friend! She gets along very well with the kids in the foster home. Papaya is working on her leash walking skills and is making great progress. She is crate trained and house trained. Papaya is a curious and fun-loving pup with a spunky personality! You’ll fall in love with her from your first glance!    Papaya is an option for those who have previously owned a dog, even if that experience is less recent. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.April 30, 2024, 2:33 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700   The Coin puppies are cashing out their piggy banks for their forever homes! These puppies are 4 months old, with all of their vaccines including rabies so they are out and about and walking like little troopers. Our little cuties are a mix of different breeds (probably with different Dads) with the perfect blend of cuteness and goofy energy! There are two girls and two boys in this bunch. We estimate the puppies will reach between 15-20 pounds as adults. Each pup gets his/her own separate home (no siblings together) so collect your lucky coin with one of these puppies today!  Penny: Penny promises to bring you endless luck in the form of cuddles and kisses! She has a big puppy personality packaged into a little body! She is the perfect cuddlebug who loves curling up on an available lap for a long snuggle session, but also has a fabulous playful side. She loves soft rope toys and bravely drags them around the playpen as her siblings try to pounce on her! Penny is incredibly smart and will be an amazing little bundle of joy to her forever family!  Nickel: Nickel is an absolute King of the Hill (even though that hill is small like him)! But don’t tell him that. This little spitfire is full of big energy and an even bigger personality. He is eager to play from sunrise to bedtime and would love a canine sibling in his forever home to romp around and explore the world with. Despite Nickel’s small size, he is totally fearless and loves being the center of attention. With a face as cute as his, he is impossible to resist cuddling!  Dime: Dime is the entertaining clown princess of her litter and shimmers brighter than the sun! She is highly intelligent with a big, goofy personality. Whether she is scampering around the yard pouncing on leaves, flopping dramatically onto a lap for cuddles, or dragging around toys twice her body size, this girl will keep you laughing all day every day! Dime loves to curl up on a warm lap after a day of hijinks, and will be an amazing bundle of kisses for her lucky forever home.  Quarter: Quarter is the dictionary definition of “Man’s Best Friend”. This loving, cuddly dude showers affection on his people through excited greetings, snuggles, and constant loyal companionship. However, Quarter also has a wonderful playful side and enjoys romping around with his siblings as they play their puppy games. Quarter is the most easy-going of his siblings and is super smart, picking up new commands with ease.     The puppies start their day with a quick potty break around 7 AM, before they zoom around and play. After breakfast, the puppies head to their cleaned out pen for the day. They alternate between playing, napping. chewing on toys, cuddling, and being adorable throughout the day. In the afternoon, the puppies get long cuddle sessions followed by games of tug and fetch. In the evening, after dinner, the puppies go outside for more play and potty time. As they settle down for the night, they each get some individual cuddle time on the couch as they watch TV.  They head to bed after one last kiss on the head and puppy pile together in their crates for bedtime.  The puppies have been well socialized with dogs of all ages and sizes. They would be a great addition to a home with a dog or as a solo pup. They have met a friendly cat. They all adore people and can’t wait to find their happily ever after! The Coin puppies will be very fun to train and socialize with that fun Schnauzer energy!    The Coin puppies are only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.April 30, 2024, 2:33 pm
