Story
Jilly Bean is finishing up her medical requirements and will be ready for her new home soon!This girl is as cute as they come. She LOVES other dogs, so her new home must have a playmate or 3! (She lives with 5 others now and always has someone to play with!) She is working on potty training and doing a pretty great job. She doesn't chew on non-dog things often but when she does, it's an easy redirect to a toy or chew and she's happy. Typical smart puppy stuff. This girl LOVES to eat and is very polite while the preparations are made.  A fenced yard is preferred as Jilly LOVES to run and show everyone how fast she is! She also LOVES to dig. She is learning to use the dog door which has opened a whole new world of possibility in the back yard. Jilly Bean sleeps quietly in her crate all night and enjoys napping in her crate or a dog bed throughout the day. She's a good napper with the humans on the couch and would be a good bed sleeper once she's fully potty trained.  Jilly is approximately 3 months old. Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.The application is the first step.

SantanaSantana is a 5–6monthold male Rat Terrier with all the charm and energy you’d expect from a young pup. He’s playful, curious, and always ready for a game of tugofwar. This little guy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to romp around with.He can be a bit skittish when meeting new people or adjusting to new environments, but once he feels safe and builds trust, his affectionate side comes out in full force. When Santana decides you’re “his person,” he wants all the love and snuggles you can offer.Santana is a sweet, spirited puppy who’s learning the world at his own pace. With patience, consistency, and a loving home, he’ll blossom into a loyal and joyful companion.Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
