Story
If you’ve ever wished for a tiny shadow with a wagging tail, Magpie is your girl.   This small black-and-white terrier mix is as sweet as they come. She’s cuddly, affectionate, and absolutely devoted to her people. Once she decides you’re hers, you’ll never walk alone again — kitchen, bathroom, laundry room… Magpie will be right there, just in case you needed moral support.   She gets along well with other small dogs, but make no mistake — her favorite place in the world is wherever you are. She will happily follow you from room to room, gazing up at you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her (because in her world, you are).   Magpie would thrive in a home where someone is around often and doesn’t mind a little extra love and attention. She isn’t just looking for a house — she’s looking for her person.   If you’re ready for a loyal, cuddly, tiny best friend who will adore you with her whole heart, Magpie is waiting.

We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment.Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is “potty trained,” this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents are normal during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected.All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption.

Story
Meet Charlie, a bundle of energy and affection waiting for a forever home. He`s 50 pounds of energy in a 20-pound body. This adult dog is fully house trained and loves nothing more than cuddling up on a lap, making him the perfect companion for cozy evenings. While he`s reactive and jumpy on walks, his lovable nature shines through with proper guidance and patience. He was given up because of his barking and reactions during walks when seeing people and other animals. Charlie is often misunderstood, but beneath his lively exterior lies a heart full of love. Your biggest challenge with Charlie will be not allowing him to escape. He`s a pro and could run a school teaching other dogs how to quickly race out the door to search for adventure. He likes car rides, running, walks, toys, and water and he knows the sit command. In a previous home several years ago, he was friendly and playful with dogs and cats. However, due to his recent situation, you will need to bring your dog to meet him. Adopting Charlie means gaining a loyal friend who will bring joy and companionship to your life. (tw 5/16/2026)Click `Play` to meet Charlie.VIP Alert!After more than 30 days at the shelter, this sweet animal has earned VIP status.That means their adoption fee is 50% off—a perfect chance to give them the forever home they deserve. -jc (4/21/26)

Story
Most of humanity remains under investigation. The evidence is not encouraging. Wednesday would like it known that she did not volunteer to be available for adoption. Unfortunately, the humans insist that finding a forever home requires something called “marketing.” Wednesday believes trust should be earned, personal space should be respected, and strangers should be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism. She is not interested in reckless optimism, unsolicited touching, or people who think every dog wants to be immediately scooped up and cuddled. She prefers to conduct a thorough investigation before deciding whether you are worthy of her attention. Some may call her cautious. Wednesday prefers “appropriately suspicious.” She does not give permission lightly. Touch her without consent and you may find yourself becoming the missing part of Thing. Fortunately, those who earn her approval discover a loyal companion hiding beneath all the judgment. Wednesday enjoys quiet company, cozy naps, and keeping a watchful eye on everything happening around her kingdom. She is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with her people and takes her responsibilities as household supervisor very seriously. Wednesday is currently accepting applications for permanent staff. Successful candidates must provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, appropriate snack distribution, and an understanding that trust is earned, not demanded.

Story
Kiko was a rescue dog. We adopted him in 2024. We fell in love at first sight. His parents life took major turns so we had to spend less time with him. We’ve had him for two years but we decided the best decision is to rehome him. He loves to play and have people around him.
