Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Loving heart and big personality!Meet Ally!  Ally is a 3-year-old Chihuahua with a sweet, loving heart and a big personality. She is happiest when she knows her people and feels safe in her environment. Once Ally trusts you, she is incredibly sweet and docile and absolutely loves to cuddle, snuggle, be held, and even be sung to. She is a wonderful lap dog who simply loves being loved. While Ally enjoys exploring the world, she does best in calmer environments. A busy beach, for example, would be too overwhelming for her right now. She is much more comfortable taking things at her own pace. Now that her puppy has found a forever home, Ally has been adjusting surprisingly well. She is settling into her environment, becoming more comfortable, and showing just how sweet and affectionate she can be. Ally's Ideal Home:  Ally would thrive with someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to respect her boundaries. She would be happiest as a cherished companion for one person or in a calm household where she can feel secure. She may do well with one other dog , preferably a submissive male who will respect her space and isn't likely to overwhelm her. Slow, thoughtful introductions would be important. Ally isn't the right match for someone looking for a carefree dog who loves every stranger and every dog she meets. But for the person who is willing to earn her trust, give her guidance, and let her experience new things at her own pace, Ally has so much love to give. She is sweet. She is cuddly. She is loyal. And when Ally decides you're her person, you'll have a devoted little shadow and the best lap dog you could ask for. ❤️ Ally is looking for someone patient enough to earn her trust—and lucky enough to receive all the love that comes with it.

Story
Bean is a wonderful 7 year-old, 17 lb terrier mix. Bean is a classic terrier, with a big personality in a little body! He is energetic and loves hiking, playing with toys, and is very smart. At the end of the day, Bean loves cuddling and making blanket forts. Bean is an intelligent guy. He knows all basic commands, and even knows how to dance on command. He is food motivated, crate trained, potty trained, and learns new things quickly. Even though Bean has plenty of energy, he is pretty low maintenance and does well around an hour of exercise per day. Bean also does well left alone at home. Bean does well with other dogs out and about, but wants to be the king of the castle in the home. He has been indifferent around cats. Bean would do best in a home without children under 12 years old.

Story
*Adoption fee sponsored by a generous volunteer! *Weight ~ 23 lbsMeet Poppy! Bright, spirited, and incredibly charming, Poppy is a smart girl with a playful personality and a quick mind. She loves fetch, is a great car companion, and has a blast learning games like “touch,” “find it,” catching treats, and weaving through cones. She’s also enjoyed hikes, park adventures, pup cup runs, and plenty of quality time with her favorite people.Poppy recently spent two weeks in a dog-savvy foster home, where they got to know her even better. Their report? She’s super smart, curious about everything, quite the snuggle bug, and a whole lot of fun. Once Poppy knows and trusts you, she forms strong bonds and loves being part of your world.Poppy does have some quirks that mean she won’t be the right fit for every household. She can be reactive to other dogs and busy activity, can be possessive of certain favorite things, and has some clear opinions about when she does—and doesn’t—want to be touched. She’s a good communicator, and life with Poppy gets much easier once you learn to listen to what she’s telling you.Poppy thrives with routine, positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, and people who appreciate a smart, sensitive dog. She’s looking for an experienced, adult-only home where she can be the only pet and enjoy a lifestyle that gives her plenty to do without overwhelming her.Poppy may not be everyone’s dog—but she could very well be someone’s perfect dog. If you think you might be her person, come meet her or give us a call. We’re open Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–5pm!

Story
Selena is one of the most sweetest and friendliest dog you can ever meet. She is very mellow, quiet, and a bit shy. But she is also very affectionate, loyal, and well-behaved. She is not looking for adventures or excitement, but rather a quiet forever home where she can receive lots of attention, love, and affection. She is about 2 years old and weighs 30 pounds. Selena has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She walks well on the leash, enjoys car rides, and loves to cuddle. She's great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and she would be a wonderful addition to any loving family. She doesn't ask for much other than a chance to be in a safe environment where she feels loved and cared for.
