Story
AdoptAPet Inquires are not an application and will be ignored. Looking for a Foster or Adopter Damon is a 1.5 year old, 22lb pup who’s spent almost his whole life in rescue. He’s dog-friendly (happy to keep up with any play style or size), kid approved, and absolutely fetch obsessed. His embark DNA says he is 50% pug, 26% Australian Cattle Dog and 22% Miniature Schnauzer. The ACD energy definitely comes through! He loves playing with a herding ball or any toy for that matter. Damon is high energy, toy motivated, and happiest when someone is throwing a ball for him. He will play fetch for literal hours, take a quick 10 minute power nap, then be ready to go again. He's good with dogs of all sizes, kid friendly and walks on leash like he’s showing off for a parade, volunteers say he practically prances. Recently, Damon went on a volunteer field trip, and here’s what the volunteer said: Damon was stoked to be riding shotgun like a true passenger prince. When we arrived, he waited politely before hopping out, then pranced down the street at my side, bouncing along like the happiest parade marshal you’ve ever seen. Next stop? Fetch. Damon’s favorite thing in the world. His whole body lit up with joy. He scurried after the ball, skidded into the fence, then came charging back to drop it right at my feet, eager to go again, and again, and again. He even played fetch with my 4-year-old, gentle and patient every time. Damon could truly go all day if you let him! After fetch, we wandered through town. Damon acted like the mayor, greeting everyone we passed. One person even pulled over their car just to meet him! He stopped to pose with flowers outside shopfronts like a natural-born model, soaking up the attention. Finally, we hit Starbucks, where Damon waited patiently for his order. The barista handed over a pup cup, and his day had been officially made! This is Damon! Goofy, sweet, and ready for a forever family. After spending almost his entire life in rescue, he deserves to celebrate his next anniversary at home. Maybe with you?

Story
Pip is an adorable bundle of cuteness! He is a perfect combination of . . . what? We're not sure but are guessing beagle, Frenchie, and/or pug. At 8 months old and 27 pounds he's a perfect size, not too big, not too small, and with just enough of a smoosh face to make him irresistibly kissable -- one look and you will fall in love! Pip (even his name is adorable!) is good with dogs and good with kids. He's already learned sit, is working on "drop it," and is doing very well with his house training. He loves toys and loves to play fetch. Pip would love a playful doggy companion, but would probably be fine as an only dog as long as he got lots of play time and snuggle time.

A Little About Annie: Do not let her small size fool you for even one second — Annie brings BIG energy, BIG personality and an even BIGGER heart to everything she does! She is sweet, sassy, smart and absolutely full of life in the most wonderful and entertaining way possible. Annie's Highlights: Good with Small Dogs & Cats — Annie does well with other small dogs and cats making her a great fit for a multi pet household. She does get a little nervous around large dogs so a home without big canine companions would suit her best ️ Champion Lap Dog — When Annie is done conquering the world she will climb right into your lap, curl up and fall into the most peaceful and gloriously snory sleep you have ever witnessed. Yes she snores. Yes it is the cutest thing you have ever heard in your life Crate & House Trained — Annie is fully crate trained and house trained and actually sleeps in her kennel at night like the perfectly routine oriented girl she is Certified Foodie — Annie is a treat lover of the highest order and will do just about anything for a good snack. Food motivated?

If you leave them out Annie will absolutely find them, drag them around and then look you dead in the eyes while daring you to try and get them back. Consider yourself lovingly warned! Annie's Leash Journey — A Success Story! Annie loves her walks so much that she used to overplay and overexert herself, sometimes getting the wind knocked right out of her when she hit the end of the retractable leash at full speed. But here is where Annie's story gets really amazing — Her incredibly dedicated foster mom taught Annie to come when she calls her name and this one brilliant trick has changed absolutely everything! Instead of racing to the end of the leash Annie now turns it into a fun and interactive game — responding with 100% perfection every single time. This is a newer trick but Annie has completely and totally mastered it and it has made a world of difference in her quality of play and her overall happiness and wellbeing. Annie's Golden Hour: Here is a little insider tip for getting the very best of Annie — After her post lunch nap is when this girl is absolutely and completely at her finest! This is when Annie: Distributes an abundance of kisses freely and generously Receives quality scratches with pure and total bliss ✨ Is the sweetest and most loving version of herself A little note about the scratches — Annie does have a limit on how many she will accept before she politely but firmly reminds you that you have exceeded your quota. But the good news is you can absolutely get MANY wonderful scratches in before that moment arrives so scratch away! What Annie Needs: A Safe & Loving Home — Annie thrives when she feels secure and protected A Good Routine — This girl does her absolute best when her days have structure and predictability Small Dog or Cat Friendly Home — No large dogs please! A Best Friend — Because that is exactly and completely what Annie will be to the right person Annie is a sweet, smart, sassy and completely loveable little girl who has so much to offer the right home. She will make you laugh every single day, keep you on your toes, snore peacefully in your lap and love you with her whole tiny and enormous heart. She is not just looking for a home. She is looking for her person — someone who will give her the routine, the safety and the love she deserves so she can be exactly what she was always meant to be. Your absolute very best friend in the whole wide world.

Max is a handsome 13 year old 12 pound Chihuahua Pug mix. Max has a big personality. He's social, playful, and opinionated.

Story
Primrose, Princeton and Percival's mom was abandoned at a home when her previous owners moved out. She was left out on a chain to fend for herself. Luckily the neighbors realized she had been left behind and took her in. She was in horrible physical condition and pregnant by to neighborhood stray (a black lab) that would jump the fence when she was in heat. It was reported by the neighbors that these 2 had had multiple litters together but none of the puppies ever survived. The neighbors children fell in love with mom and they are keeping her but needed help rehoming her very last litter (we assisted in getting her spayed). These pups are the most laid back and chill group I have ever seen.
