Story
Meet Freya, a sweet girl with a heart as big as her adorable build! She's a crowd favorite thanks to her gentle, affectionate nature and loves nothing more than snuggling with her people, taking leisurely walks, and soaking up the sunshine. Freya gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves people of all ages, and is mostly house-trained. Like any true foodie, she's very food motivated (mealtime is her favorite time of day!), so she'll happily work for treats. She is still learning to love car rides, and not announcing everything she sees when looking out the window.—but she's quick to settle and has been an easy guest in her foster home. After a big life change, Freya quickly blossomed once she realized she was safe and loved in her foster home. Now she's ready to find a forever family to call her own. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion to share your couch, your walks, and your heart, Freya may be the perfect match 🌟Please ask our adoption team about Freya's medical needs.

Story
Frank **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 09/23** Good with Kids and Dogs! 1.5 yrs./18 lb./Male/Pug Mix Name: Frank Age: 1.5 years Weight: 18 lbs Breed: Pug Mix Status: Compact little charmer looking for his forever person ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Frank! I’ve got the signature wrinkles, curly tail, big brown eyes, and a face with enough character to make it very difficult to take me too seriously. I’m a young adult, which means I have plenty of fun years ahead of me while leaving the baby-puppy stage behind. I’m ready to find people who will make me a true part of their family—whether that means heading out for a walk, tagging along for an adventure, or hanging around the house together. Like any young dog settling into a new home, I’ll benefit from consistency, continued training, enrichment, and time to learn my new family’s routine. Mostly, I’m looking for a place where I can put down some roots and become someone’s little sidekick. At 18 pounds, I won’t take up much room in your house…but I have a feeling I could take up quite a bit of room in your heart. ​ Best Qualities: A great age: At 1.5 years old, I’m still young and ready for plenty of adventures, but those tiny puppy days are behind me. Compact companion: At just 18 pounds, I’m an easy size for sharing everyday life without sacrificing any of the personality. Ready for my person: I’m at the perfect stage to settle into a routine, build a strong bond, and become someone’s loyal little sidekick. Unmistakable charm: Between my curly tail, expressive eyes, forehead wrinkles, and serious little face, I’ve got character to spare. Ideal Match: I’m looking for someone who wants a companion, not just a pet. Give me regular walks, things to keep my brain busy, continued guidance, and plenty of opportunities to spend time with you. I’d love a family who will include me in their everyday life and give me the security of knowing I’m finally home. Deal Breakers: No time for togetherness: I’m looking for people who actually want their dog to be part of their life. Thinking small means no exercise: I may be compact, but I’m still a young dog who needs appropriate activity, enrichment, and opportunities to explore. No interest in continued training: I’m past puppyhood, but consistency and guidance will still help me be the best Frank I can be. Fun Fact: My face naturally looks like I’ve just been informed of something deeply concerning. I promise it’s mostly the wrinkles.
