Story
Maggie is about 2 years old and 15 pounds of pure sweetness! 💕 This little darling has a gentle soul and a smart, curious mind—she’s always observing, learning, and ready to be part of the action. Whether she’s trotting along beside you on a walk or curled up for a cozy snuggle, Maggie has a calm but playful spirit that makes her feel like the perfect companion. We think she might be a small breed mix, but like all our guesses, it's just based on her looks! 🐾 Maggie’s affectionate nature and sharp little brain make her a wonderful best friend in the making. 🌟 She’s already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and she's ready to start her next chapter. Like all pets, she’ll need a little time to settle into her new home and learn the routine 🏡, but once she does, we have no doubt she’ll be a loyal sidekick full of love, fun, and heart! 💖🐶

Story
Meet Dora! &#239&#184&#143 This adventurous sweetheart is ready to explore life with her forever family! &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Dog friendly – she loves canine playmates &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 House trained and uses a pet door like a pro &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Affectionate and loving – always ready for cuddles &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Playful and energetic – enjoys romping with other dogs and chasing squirrels in the yard Dora is the perfect mix of fun and affection. Whether she’s playing with her furry friends or snuggling up for some love, she’s always bringing smiles. To add, she's graduated our PAWs to Prison training program. Here is what her trainers had to say about her: Please stop and honestly consider adopting Dora! This is one of the most amazing little dogs I've ever worked with. However, not necessarily in ways you would think. Yes, she's very smart, the kind that could come with warnings. Yes, she's eager to please, but not like a working dog. What she has is an incredible transformation story, and the biggest doggy heart full of love I've seen from a rescue. Personally, I'm in love with her and wish she could be mine. Her prance and smile make everyone who sees it happy. That is the magic of Miss Dora. Dora's behaviors and fluency for them are: Sit: ≥ 90% Down: ≥ 90% Stay: ≥ 95% Come: ≥ 90% Wait: ≥ 100% in kennel, 70% at doors, 90% in heel: ≥ 85% Heel me: ≥ 95% Shake: ≥ 80% Crawl: ≥ 70% Roll over: ≥ 50% Get it: ≥ 60% Bring it: ≥ 60% Give: ≥ 85% Leave it: ≥ 70% Drop it: ≥ 65% Up (2 paws on) ≥ 85% On (4 paws on) ≥ 85% Off (4 paws on ground) ≥ 85% Snake (jump into my arms) ≥ 35% Hug (2 paws over my forearm back to my chest): 85% Comfort my crying: ≥ 75% Touch: ≥ 85% Dora also walks like a service dog for me, though she'll hunt if you let her. None of the behaviors though can express how much joy she brings just being the loving happy affectionate little girl she is. My observation about her past abuse is it was probably by a little girl. She doesn't like grooming, bathing, or dress up. She also shows some fear around women. So for families she's dog friendly and good with almost everything, just do introductions for girls and women before committing. If you’re looking for a playful companion with a heart of gold, Dora’s your girl!October 23, 2025, 4:44 pm
