Story
Hi, I’m Bird! 🐦🐾 I’m an 11-month-old Lab/Pug mix, around 30 pounds, and I may be short and compact, but I have a BIG personality! I’m a super energetic girl who absolutely LOVES to play, run around, and have fun. Once I get some of that energy out, though, I’m just as happy cuddling up and soaking in all the love you’ll give me. ❤️ I’m already potty trained and I know how to sit! I’m still young, so I’d love a family who will keep working with me, play with me, and give me plenty of attention. My mom was a purebred Lab and my dad was a neighborhood Pug—so I’m definitely a unique little mix! 😂 A family took me in when I needed somewhere to go and tried to find me a home, but when their landlord wouldn’t allow me to stay, I came here to find my forever family. More than anything, I just want someone to play with, cuddle with, and LOVE. I have so much personality and affection packed into this little body—I’m just waiting for someone to choose me! 🥹❤️

Story
Meet Benji — Your Sweet, Snuggly, Playful Little Gentleman Benji is a 3‑year‑old, 17‑pound bundle of affection who lives for human connection. This boy absolutely adores cuddles, gentle pets, and being close to his people. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who melts into your lap, Benji is your guy. When he’s not soaking up love, he’s happily entertaining himself in the yard with his giggle ball or favorite toys. He’s social with other dogs but also confident enough to enjoy his own space — the perfect balance of friendly and independent. Benji has shown curiosity toward neighborhood cats, though he hasn’t been fully tested, so a proper introduction would be needed. He’s crate trained and currently working on his potty training, making steady progress with routine and patience. This sweet, affectionate boy is ready to blossom in a nurturing home where he can feel safe, loved, and part of the family. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, Benji is waiting to meet you.

Story
Marcos is an adorable ~2-year-old mixed breed, possibly Pug/Bulldog/Pit type mix would be our best guess! He is right at 30lbs. Marcos came to us from local animal control as an unclaimed stray. He's a big goofball who loves to run around and play. He is also always happy to crawl in your lap for scratches!! He will need someone willing to work on manners with him as he can be mouthy and likes to grab shirts or the leash. He is a smart, food motivated boy and is working on improving here, but would really thrive having someone who can work with him more consistently. He already knows sit and is always very proud of himself! Because he is working on his manners, he is looking for a home without kids.
