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
This sweet girl, estimated to be about 2 years old and weighing in at 20 pounds, has had a rough start to life, but she’s ready to turn the page and find her forever home. When she first came to us as a stray, she was in pain from a full vaginal prolapse that had likely troubled her for quite some time. Thankfully, she received treatment, and now she’s healed, healthy, and ready to enjoy life to the fullest!While we don’t know all the details of her past, it’s clear she hasn’t always had the easiest time with humans. Cantaloupe can be a little shy and anxious around new people, but once she realizes she’s safe, she shows just how loving and loyal she can be. She’s looking for a patient, gentle owner who will give her the space to decompress and shower her with the affection she’s been missing.At only two years old, Cantaloupe has her whole life ahead of her, and she’s ready to make it full of play, cuddles, and adventures. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, enjoys playtime and socializing, and is happiest when she can join in the fun. With her human friends, she just needs a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, you’ll have a devoted new BFF who loves to snuggle and hang out by your side.Cantaloupe would thrive in a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s sweet, resilient, and ready to bloom into the happy, carefree, spunky girl she was always meant to be. Could your home be the place where Cantaloupe finally feels safe, loved, and at peace?

Chungus isn’t just a name...it’s a lifestyle. This sweet, silly, and absolutely lovable boy is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs in at a solid 25 pounds of pure charm. He came to us as a stray and honestly we still can’t get over what a character he is!!Chungus has a congenital limb difference on one of his front legs, but don’t let that fool you he gets around just fine and hasn’t let it slow him down a bit. He was born this way and has learned to navigate life like a pro, no surgery or pain involved. He also has a history of dry eyes, which is managed with daily eye drops, keeping him comfy.Personality-wise Chungus is a dream. He’s the perfect mix of playful and chill. He enjoys bopping around and playing with his dog friends, but he’s just as happy lounging by your side on the couch, soaking up belly rubs and attention. Walks? Yes, but at his own leisurely pace sniffing the grass, taking in the scenery, living life in the slow lane like the legend he is.Despite his “chunky” stature, Chungus has a surprisingly lighthearted spirit. He’s affectionate, silly, and downright hilarious at times, the kind of dog who makes you smile just by existing. He bonds deeply with people and will happily be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your daily dose of laughter.Chungus would thrive in a calm, loving home where someone appreciates his quirky personality, his slower pace, and his big heart. He’s perfect for anyone looking for a devoted, funny, and endlessly sweet companion who will stick by their side through thick and thin.If you’re ready to meet the ultimate couch potato/playtime partner, Chungus might just be your guy.

Story
Baby Sasha’s life began with challenges no puppy should ever face. At just a few weeks old she was abandoned at a Northern California shelter with severe injuries to both eyes. The damage was painful and at the time believed to have left her completely blind. When we were alerted to her situation one of our incredible volunteers immediately stepped in and made the long trip to bring her to safety at our rescue.Since Sasha was so young and fragile, surgery wasn’t an option when she first came in. Instead she received intensive medical treatment hoping to keep her comfortable. Then something truly amazing happened... Slowly, week by week, her eyes began to heal! Not only did she avoid enucleation, but this little fighter surprised everyone by retaining a small amount of vision!! While she likely sees shadows and light rather than details, this has always been her normal, and she navigates the world with confidence and determination that feels nothing short of remarkable.And here’s the thing about Baby Sasha: she does not see herself as fragile. She’s bold, joyful, and completely unapologetic about taking up space. She loves other dogs and has a knack for charming even the most serious senior pups into playtime. Because of her size and limited vision, she spends her days alongside our senior and special-needs dogs, where she’s learned patience, boundaries, and how to hold her own.Sasha adores toys, especially the squeaky kind, lives for treat time, and considers being held the highest honor of all. There’s nothing she loves more than curling up in your arms and drifting off to sleep, fully trusting that she’s safe.While we can’t know every detail of her past, it’s likely Sasha’s injuries were caused by rough interactions with littermates that went untreated. What matters now is that she’s thriving and ready for a future that looks nothing like her beginning! Sasha will do best in a home with another dog, plenty of enrichment, and a person who’s around often and excited to guide a young, special-needs pup through life. She just needs patience, consistency, and love.Baby Sasha is resilient, affectionate, endlessly lovable, and proof that even the smallest dogs can have the biggest hearts. If you’re ready for a pup who will trust you completely and love you fiercely, she may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. Interested in Baby Sasha? Please inquire today!
