Story
Meet Buddy 🐾❤️ Buddy is a charming little guy looking for a loving home where he can settle in and be part of the family again! He was surrendered because of housing difficulties that prevented his previous owner from bringing him along. Now Buddy is ready for a new chapter with someone who will give him the love and attention he deserves. Staff describe Buddy as a very sweet and interactive boy who enjoys engaging with people. He's tolerant of handling and has been a pleasure to work with here at the shelter. 🥰 Because of a potential bite history that was reported but never verified, we recommend a home with older children who can understand and respect a dog's boundaries. Buddy has so much love to offer and is hoping to find a family who will give him a safe, comfortable place to call home. If you're looking for a sweet companion with a fun personality, come meet Buddy! 🐶💕

Story
Hey there, it's me, Bo! I'm the curious, adventure-seeking, playful pup you've been waiting for. I'm a bundle of energy and excitement, always up for a good time. My favorite things? Toys, running, and, of course, people! I'm a people-person pup, always ready to greet everyone I meet with a big, goofy smile. I'm only a year old, so I've got a lot to learn, but I'm super smart and friendly, which means I'm eager to please and always up for a good time. My ideal day involves exploring new places, sniffing out exciting smells, and then cuddling up with my favorite humans. I thrive on attention and will do just about anything for a belly rub or a good ear scratch. I'm also a big fan of kids; they know how to have fun! I'd do best with children who are a bit older, around 8 and up, so we can run, play, and explore together. I may be small, weighing in at just 8.6 pounds, but I've got a big personality that's sure to fill your home with laughter and love. So, if you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and hilarious companion to join your family, look no further. I'm your guy.

Story
Meet Ducky – the sweetest little soul who’s ready to steal your heart forever! 🐾❤️ This precious 6-month-old Rat Terrier puppy came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past… but what we do know is that he’s an absolute gem. From the moment he arrived, everyone who meets him falls completely in love. Ducky was born with a congenital defect in both of his rear legs, but please don’t let that fool you – this brave boy gets around great! He runs, plays, and zooms with so much joy and determination. No wheelchair needed – he’s just built a little differently and handles it like the champion he is. Ducky is the definition of loving. He wants nothing more than to be right by your side, snuggled up in your lap, or picked up for cuddles (he’s a total velcro puppy!). His big, soulful eyes will melt you, and his gentle, affectionate nature makes him the perfect companion. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and absolutely adores kids – he’s gentle, playful, and full of sweetness. Ducky is still so young, full of puppy energy and endless kisses, just waiting for a family who will see past his little differences and give him the forever home he deserves. He’s not just a dog looking for a place to live… he’s a loving, loyal best friend ready to fill your days with joy. If you’re ready for a lifetime of unconditional love from the most special little guy, Ducky is hoping you’re the one he’s been waiting for. 💕 Serious inquiries only – come meet this incredible pup and see for yourself why everyone who meets him falls head over heels!

Story
Meet Jimmy & Jasper 🧡Jimmy and Jasper are adorable 5-year-old Chihuahua mixes, weighing about 14 pounds each. These sweet boys came all the way from California, where we were able to save them from a shelter on their very last day. ❤️They are currently in our Pups on Parole program, where they’re learning that people can be trusted and building confidence every day. They’re both gentle, sweet boys who can be a little shy when they’re in a new situation.When they first arrived at their foster home, we gave them plenty of space and let them settle in at their own pace. No picking them up or forcing interaction—just patience, love and letting them decide when they were ready.They have a very secure backyard where they love to explore and go potty. When called, they come right back inside, which is such a great sign of the trust they’re building! 🥰Jimmy & Jasper are good with other dogs and cats and would do best with adults or older, respectful children. They’re looking for a calm, patient family who will continue giving them the time and understanding they need to feel safe.With a little patience and a lot of love, these boys are becoming happier and braver every day—and we know their forever family is going to be so special. 🧡🐾 5 years old🐾 Chihuahua mixes🐾 About 14 lbs each🐾 Good with dogs & cats🐾 A little shy at first🐾 Best with adults or older teens🐾 Calm, patient home preferredIf you think Jimmy & Jasper could be your boys, please fill out an application to meet them!

Story
Lucy is an 8 year old Jack-Chi mix we are looking to rehome to a loving family due to relocating out of the country. She was adopted in 2018 at 12 weeks old. She can be a bit shy initially when meeting new people and animals but warms up quick. She is not a yapper, only barking if the doorbell rings. She is great at using a doggy door and loves walks. She may be 8, but she has a puppy personality; loved to play and nap. Lucy loves to cuddle so if you’re looking for an affectionate little lady, she’s it!
