Story
Meet Lola, a tiny rat terrier with a big personality just waiting to shine. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a bit of time and patience and she warms up quickly. Once she feels safe, Lola turns into a spirited, silly bundle of energy who loves to zoom around, play with toys, and snack on her favorite treats. While she's still getting to know you, it's best to keep handling gentle and limited. Lola can be sensitive in a few areas-especially her hind legs-so moving at her pace helps her feel secure. When she trusts you, though, she blossoms into a total cuddle bug who adores lap time, belly rubs, and being close to her favorite people. Because of her sensitivity with handling, Lola would be most comfortable in a home with children over the age of 10 who can interact respectfully and help her continue building confidence. She enjoys playing with other dogs, but she prefers not to share her space or belongings, so she'll do best as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the attention. Lola is currently available by appointment. If you'd like to learn more or schedule a time to meet this spunky little sweetheart, please contact the Behavior Helpline at (831) 708-5842. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 13.3 Age: 3yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Weight ~ 23 lbsPoppy recently spent two weeks in a dog-savvy foster home. They had much to say about her, but here is a quite summary: `Poppy is a bright, spirited, and incredibly charming girl with a playful personality and a quick, intelligent mind. She keeps things fun with her curiosity and sense of humor, and once she feels safe, her affectionate side really shines. Poppy forms strong bonds and enjoys being close to her person—on her own comfortable terms.She thrives with routine, structure, and mental enrichment, and she loves activities like structured play, sniffy walks, and learning new cues. Poppy does best in a calm, predictable home with an experienced adopter who understands sensitive dogs and uses patient, positive reinforcement. Busy environments can be overwhelming for her, and she benefits from clear boundaries and managed exposure to new situations.Poppy would be happiest in an adult-only home, ideally as an only dog, or with very careful introductions. With the right guidance and a low-stress lifestyle, she is a loyal, entertaining, and deeply rewarding companion.`If you are ready to experience the `successful project-dog` high, come meet Poppy, or call us to coordinate a meet and greet. We`re open Tue-Sun 11-5.
