Story
Charleston is a gentle, sweet soul who’s been quietly settling in and showing a little more of himself each day. While he’s still on the shy and calm side, you can already see his confidence beginning to bloom—and we can’t wait to watch his personality continue to shine as he gets more comfortable. This thoughtful boy loves lounging on the couch where he can keep a watchful, loving eye on his person. He’s a big fan of treats (a great motivator!) and has already mastered his Sit and Down commands—pretty impressive for a pup who’s still finding his footing. Charleston is wonderful on a leash and enjoys his walks, greeting folks he meets along the way with a friendly, easygoing demeanor. He’s the kind of dog who seems to take everything in stride, preferring a calm pace and steady companionship. Charleston may still be learning who he is, but one thing is already clear: he’s a loving, loyal companion in the making. Stay tuned—this sweet boy’s story is just getting started, and we’re so excited to learn more about him in the days ahead.

Story
If you’re looking for a little sugar with a sprinkle of sass, Candy might be your perfect match. This petite sweetheart has settled beautifully into her foster home and gets along well with her dog siblings—she loves a good play session and happily tosses toys around like it’s her full-time job. Candy could absolutely be a devoted one-person pup (she loves having “her” human), but she can also thrive in a home with others. When it’s snuggle time, though, she prefers VIP access to her favorite person—sharing the spotlight isn’t really her thing. 😉 She’s house-trained and will politely let you know when she needs to go out. Candy sleeps quietly through the night in her crate like a perfect angel. During the day, she can feel a bit anxious if crated for long stretches, so she’d do best with someone who’s retired, works from home, or simply isn’t gone for extended hours. The good news? She’s not destructive when left alone for shorter periods. Candy walks fairly well on leash and truly enjoys her strolls—though polishing up those leash manners would make her even more of a superstar. She already knows “sit” and is working hard on “come.” Smart and eager to please! One important note: Candy is vocal, so she’s not suited for apartment or townhouse living. She likes to use her voice and would be happiest in a detached home where she can express herself without bothering neighbors. Candy is sweet, playful, loyal, and full of personality. With the right family who appreciates her cuddly devotion and gives her the companionship she craves, she will make a truly wonderful addition.
