Story
Scooby is a sweet middle-aged man looking for his forever home. Scooby loves to chill and relax when he is at home. He has been raised around other dogs, kids, and cats (although not his favorite). He loves to spend time outdoors soaking in the sun, but also laying with his human. His favorite thing is sleeping under the covers in his human's bed at night time and chewing on bones and toys. Even though Scooby has lost his sight, he has learned the word 'Up' when you want him to jump on the couch or bed, and also 'Step' when there is a step up or down that he needs to be aware of. He quickly learns his way around the home as well and would do best in an uncluttered home with limited amount of objects on the floor. Scooby is crate trained to stay in the crate during the day when humans are not at home. He does, however, prefer to sleep in the bed, rather than in the crate overnight. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting Scooby, please fill out the adoption application and a super cool person from the rescue will contact you to schedule the meet and greet. ** The adoption fee is a tax-deductible contribution to our 501c3 rescue. This fee covers vaccines, deworming, microchipping, and spaying/neutering. Meet and greets will only be arranged after we receive a completed and signed application. Please note that we do not follow a first-come, first-served policy. Instead, we thoroughly evaluate each application to ensure the best possible fit for the pet, considering breed characteristics and the lifestyle of the potential adopter.

Story
This little guy showed up to my neighbor’s front door about six or seven years ago.?He was fully grown at the time, but looked young, maybe a year or two old, so we don’t know his exact age My neighbor, passed away recently, so the pup has been staying with us since. He gets along with my other to dogs great. He loves to go to the dog park and the beach and gets along with everyone. He’s very active when we go out, but also likes to chill on the couch. The owner spent every day with him, so he likes to be around people. I took him to the county to update his license and his rabies shot is good until next year. Also updated his chip registration. He is fixed and he has always been in good health. He seemed to be a bit overweight when he came to live with us, so the vet recommended to drop a few. He’s been doing great since.

Story
Meet Luna!!Luna is a loving, goofy, confident, and affectionate girl who thrives on being close to her people. She just wants to be part of whatever you’re doing—whether that’s curling up next to you or following you around the house. She has a big personality and will keep you smiling with her silly habits, like her happy morning howls and adorable snoring.She’s playful and enjoys walks, car rides, toys, and interactive time, but also has a cuddly, relaxed side. Luna is very smart and eager to learn, she already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “spin.” She’s highly food- and toy-motivated and loves being around kids!Luna can be pushy with other dogs and will need continued training and structure. She would do best with tolerant, well-socialized dogs or as the only dog in the home. She has not yet been tested with cats.Luna has so much love to give and is ready for a home that will love her furever!
