Story
Meet Pookie Breed: Pug DOB: 10/3/2022 Weight: 18 pounds Gender: Male Health: Healthy, neutered Good with: Dogs and kids Pookie’s Personality Pookie is pure pug charm wrapped in a squishy, lovable body. He’s affectionate, friendly, and always happy to be near his people. True to his breed, Pookie loves attention, enjoys playtime, and is just as content curling up beside you for a nap. He gets along well with other dogs and is gentle and patient with children, making him a wonderful family companion. His expressive face and sweet nature make it impossible not to smile around him. Breed Info: Pugs Known for their loving, people-oriented personalities Thrive on companionship and do best as part of the family Moderate energy: playful bursts balanced with lots of cuddle time Require regular care for wrinkles, eyes, and weight management Pugs are loyal little shadows who form deep bonds with their humans and want nothing more than to be included in everyday life. Owner Responsibilities Adopting Pookie means committing to: Daily companionship and quality time (pugs don’t like being alone much) Regular walks and play while avoiding overheating Proper diet and weight monitoring Ongoing grooming, wrinkle cleaning, and basic training Routine vet care and preventive health maintenance Things to Consider Before Adopting Do you have time every day for interaction, walks, and affection? Are pets allowed where you live, now and in the future? Are you prepared financially for food, grooming, and vet care? Will your lifestyle remain stable for the next 10–15 years? Can you commit to caring for a dog through all life stages? Adoption is not just about today — it’s about every tomorrow. &#226&#143&#179 Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Even confident, friendly dogs like Pookie need time to adjust: First 3 days: Decompressing, learning new sights, sounds, and routines First 3 weeks: Beginning to feel safe and understand expectations First 3 months: Trust fully forms and personality truly shines Patience, structure, and love make all the difference. Vet Care Reminder Although Pookie is healthy and neutered, adopters should take him to their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish care and ensure continued good health. Why Pookie Will Be a Great Addition Pookie is the kind of dog who turns a house into a home. He brings warmth, laughter, and unconditional love wherever he goes. Whether it’s family movie nights, gentle play with kids, or cozy naps by your side, Pookie is happiest when he’s part of your world. He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for his people to love for the rest of his life.

Story
Elmer is 14 years old, about 20 pounds, and found himself back at square one after being relinquished to us due to someone in his previous home developing allergies to him. It’s a tough break, especially at his age, but Elmer hasn’t let it change who he is. He’s still a loving, easygoing, genuinely good dog who just wants someone to call his own again!Once Elmer gets to know you, he’s all in. He’ll follow you from room to room, always keeping tabs on you and happily soaking up any attention you’re willing to give. He’s affectionate, loyal, and just really enjoys being close to his person. He has a big heart and isn’t shy about wanting to be loved right back.Around the rescue, Elmer tends to hang back a bit and take things in. He’s not the type to push himself into the spotlight, but he’s always nearby, watching, waiting, and ready for his turn to get some love. He does great with other mellow dogs and is friendly with people of all ages, especially if they come with back scratches or snacks. He is very food motivated and eager to please, which makes him easy to connect with!We think he might be a pug and beagle mix, but whatever he is, he’s incredibly cute and full of charm. He enjoys his walks, likes being out in the sunshine, and is just as happy coming back in to relax and nap.Elmer is a great, steady kind of dog. He’s not asking for much, just a home where he can feel secure again and live out his golden years surrounded by love and a person who will stick with him this time. In return, he’ll be right there with you, every day, happy just to be included. Please inquire today!

Story
With a name like Champion Blue, you might expect a superstar...and this little guy sure lives up to it! At 10 years old and 17 pounds, Champion Blue has already overcome a lot in life, having been abandoned at a shelter simply for being a senior with a few minor medical needs. Thankfully, the shelter reached out to us to take him in and now he's ready to find the forever home he’s been dreaming of.Don’t let his age fool you Champion Blue has a spark of mischief and energy that will make you smile every day. He takes daily gabapentin for arthritis and an anti-inflammatory to keep him comfortable, but that doesn’t stop him from zooming across the room for treats, toys, or just to join the action. He’s a little wobbly on his feet sometimes, but his heart is full of courage, curiosity, and pure joy.Champion Blue loves the simple pleasures in life: cuddles on the couch, gentle pets, and long, lazy lounging sessions where he can soak up all the attention. But don’t be surprised if the quiet is broken by a sudden burst of playful zoomies or a funny little hop - he’s silly, spunky, and completely charming.He gets along with other dogs, especially calm companions who understand his pace, and he’s ready to share his home with someone who will adore him and help him age gracefully. Champion Blue’s perfect match is a quiet household, filled with love, patience, and lots of lap time. He may be a senior, but his heart is young, and he’s ready to be your loyal, goofy, and utterly lovable sidekick. He may have had a rough start, but his next chapter will be the happiest yet! Could you be the hero to his story? Please inquire today!

Story
This handsome 5-year-old, 21-pound guy has a story that proves he’s a survivor! Ryan came to us after being found as a stray, carrying a large wound on his back and a little nervousness around new people. The wound was just a reminder of the tough life he’d had, likely from scratching due to flea irritation, and with some care and time to decompress, Ryan has shown just how resilient and loving he really is.Ryan is a one-of-a-kind dog. His goofy underbite, intense head tilt (especially when a squeaky toy is nearby), and overall spunky personality make him impossible not to adore. He’s the perfect mix of chill and playful content to lounge and nap quietly, but the second you approach, he’s ready to go go go! He loves long walks, playing with other dogs, and chasing his favorite toys. He’s also very food motivated and already knows a couple of tricks like sit and shake, making him an eager learner for more treats and training fun.This little guy thrives with patience. He’s not a fan of sudden hand movements or being restrained, so he’d do best in a home without small children. Older kids (12+) and attentive adults who give him time to feel safe and loved will see the best version of Ryan which is a loyal, silly, and endlessly entertaining boy.Ryan is more than ready to bring joy to a home that will appreciate his unique personality. Once he trusts you, he’ll follow you everywhere, nap by your side, and brighten your days with his quirks and charm. Could he be the loyal, goofy, and loving buddy you’ve been waiting for? Please inquire today!
