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.

Story
If you’re looking for a mutt that is straight to the point and never strays from her objective, Dilly Dally may not be right for you – she thinks the journey is more important than the destination and often takes an (admittedly fun) detour! Miss Dilly Dally is the eldest of three siblings, and the other two have followed her to Muttville – you’re not seeing double (or triple!), there are, in fact, three beautiful brown and white darlings traipsing through HQ. This sweet senior has been an excellent big sister, but it’s tuckered her out – she now takes life at a more sedate pace. She would love to find a forever home where she can flourish in her golden years – do you have space to Dilly Dally? Here's some notes from her foster: Dilly Dally is very food oriented. She loves meal time and any snacks you may have to offer her! She absolutely loves to cuddling and be close to you, either by your side or in your lap.

Story
Meet Muppet, a senior sweetheart with a name as cute as her soul! With her tiny, permanent head tilt, she looks like she’s always listening for compliments (and she deserves all of them). Muppet is a professional cuddler, a lover of dogs big and small, and a firm believer that every day is the best day ever. She greets life with joy, kindness, and a gentle wag, spreading happiness wherever she goes. Whether she’s snuggled up beside you or making new furry friends, Muppet’s heart is always wide open. Calm, loving, and endlessly charming, this perfect little angel is ready to spend her golden years giving unconditional love to her forever family! Here's some notes from her foster: For her potty routine she usually needs to go every 2–3 hours when she wakes up. I follow a simple rule: if she’s awake, we head downstairs for a quick walk. She snoozes most of the day but in the afternoon/evening she perks up and loves hanging out with us, following us around. She adores humans — gently greets everyone, happily accepts pets, and is just so sweet. Handling her is super easy. She does prefer her space, but if she’s extra shivery I’ll pop her in a sling and keep her close. Overall, she is truly a beautiful soul. She’s already warmed my heart, and anyone who ends up with her will be incredibly lucky
