You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! I’m Ollie, and I’m looking for my Best Friend! Hi! I’m Ollie. I’m 6 months old and weigh about 26 lbs, which my foster says is the perfect size for "medium-sized" snuggles. I’m mostly done growing, but I still have plenty of room in my heart for you! I might look like a regular puppy, but I’ve actually got a secret: my nose is shaped like a heart! I think it’s because I’m made of 100% pure sweetness. Why I’m the Goodest Boy: I’m a Cuddle Professional: While other puppies are busy being "spunky" and running in circles, I’d much rather be right by your side. I’m very affectionate and my favorite place in the world is wherever you are. I’m a Star Student: I’m already crate trained! I know that my crate is a safe spot for naps, and I’m very patient when I’m in there. I’m Healthy & Ready: I’m all caught up on my vaccinations and have had all my age-appropriate vetting. I even have a microchip, so if I ever get lost, I can find my way back to you! My Wish List: I’m looking for a family who likes belly rubs, gentle ear scratches, and cozy evenings. I promise to be your most loyal companion and to greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart-shaped boop.

I’ve got a lot of personality packed into this medium-sized body, and I’m ready to share it with you! Why I’m a Great Teammate: I’m Ready for Anything: Want to go for a hike? I’m in! Want to play in the yard? Say no more! I’m outgoing and always ready to be your right-hand man. I’ve Got My Manners: I’m already crate trained, so I know how to settle down and relax when it’s time for a break. I’m Good to Go: I’ve had my shots, my vetting is all done, and I’ve even got a microchip so we can stay together forever. I’m looking for a family who wants a buddy to grow with. If you have a ball to throw and a soft bed for me to crash on after a long day of play, we’re going to be best friends!

Story
**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!** 1-29-26::"Hello everyone, my name is LIL BIT and it fits me so well! I am a little bit of a doggie, weighing in at just 11 pounds, and I am full of sass and attitude! But that's not such a bad thing, AND I do need an owner who will understand that I am not a perfect dog--yet. Allow me to explain: I came to this great rescue with 2 of my housemates, after we were found abandoned on the streets, fending for ourselves. A nice Animal Control Officer came and rescued us, but while my 2 housemates were fine with everyone at the shelter, I was a little harder of a nut to crack. The shelter asked my Mom if she would consider taking all of us, and she didn't hesitate one minute, so here I am! Now, it was a little rough going for the first few weeks--I had to be picked up with a towel, but once picked up I was OK and will cuddle, but don't try picking me up without that towel! My Mom worked so hard and slowly with me, to show me that she wasn't so bad, and BINGO, it paid off--I can now be picked up without the towel, and no snapping!! I just need my potential adopter to know, that I will need that extra time to adjust, and to please allow me that time and not give up on me! I am good for my grooming, with the occasional nip, but I mean no harm. Mom says that I am about 3 years old, am spayed, chipped, current on my vaccines, heartworm negative, along with house/crate/leash trained. I do need a home with no small children, and I am good with other dogs, but cats I don't know" "Do I sound like a girl you'd like to have in your life, and have the patience to work with me a few weeks till I adjust, not give up on me right away? I promise I am worth the wait! If interested, email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for an application or any questions you may have about me. PLEASE DO NOT call the number on here, email, as emails are constantly monitored! My adoption fee is $300.00 to cover all my current vetting" "Till we meet" Love, LIL BIT **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**
