Story
My mother passed away suddenly last April and left her precious companion, Bella. Bella is a sweet little girl who gets very attached to her care-taker! The perfect owner would be someone who is home a lot and will sit with her. She loves to snuggle, take walks, and eat. She does bark out of anxiety when left alone. She does well with pottying if you stick to her routine, but will use a pee pad if you’re gone too long. She is pretty deaf and half blind, I think. She doesn’t like walking on wood floors, unless there’s food involved, then she would walk on hot lava. She loves to go for car rides, and going into stores and riding in carts where she’s allowed. She ignores other dogs and cats unless she’s on her person’s lap, then she’s protective. Because of her age, she has been difficult to re-home and the family just can't care for her anymore.

Story
Meet Jack 🐾 DOB: 02/07/2026 Current weight: ~4 lb 8 oz Jack is a smaller, compact little guy with a curious mind and a thoughtful approach to the world. He takes it all in first, then jumps in once he’s decided it looks like fun. He’s doing exactly what a puppy should be doing—playing, exploring, and then crashing hard for a nap. Jack enjoys toys, cozy spots, and staying close to his people. He’s a nice mix of observant and playful, often watching what’s going on before joining in. Like all puppies his age, Jack is just getting started. He’ll need continued training, structure, and consistency as he grows. Breed: Compact terrier mix – likely to stay in a smaller-medium size range (best guess) Estimated adult weight: ~15–25 lbs Jack is a great little pup with a steady, easygoing nature and a lot of potential.

Story
Porkchop is a very snuggly boy. He loves sitting with his humans. He is such a sweet boy! He will play and loves balls, but is not rambunctious. He was adopted and was returned to me because he got possessive of the one person that was home all the time and that he always sat with. He did not do this in my home. He would sit with anyone that was sitting down, but no one person was always available. It would probably be best for him to go to a home where he cannot claim just one person if there are others in the home. Porkchop is about 4 years old. He is used to using a doggie door to go outside so he may need frequent trips outside at first.
