Story

Meet Peppa! Your future lap dog and resident joy generator. 😃 Peppa is the definition of a love bug. Her absolute favorite place in the world? Your lap. If you sit down, she considers that a personal invitation for cuddles. And if you so much as touch the leash, get ready — this girl literally jumps for joy. It’s impossible not to smile watching her excitement for life. Peppa still has that irresistible puppy energy, complete with the most adorable zoomies you’ve ever seen. She brings a playful spark to every day, balanced beautifully with her deep desire to be close to her people. She’s the perfect mix of fun and snuggly. She does wonderfully in her crate and happily goes “home” when asked. She’s almost fully potty trained and just needs a little continued consistency as she finishes mastering the routine. Since she’s still completing her vaccines, she hasn’t done much public socializing yet. From what we’ve seen, she gets very excited to see new people — she’s eager, friendly, and ready to make friends everywhere she goes. With a little guidance and continued exposure, she’s going to blossom beautifully. Peppa rides well in the car. She gets excited when she sees other dogs and has shown no aggression — just happy enthusiasm. She co-exists well with cats and may attempt a playful chase now and then. And when it comes to kids? She absolutely adored the teenage neighbor she met. Peppa is looking for a home that will embrace her joyful spirit, continue her puppy training, and give her all the lap time her heart desires. If you’re ready for a best friend who celebrates every walk, every cuddle, and every moment with you then Peppa is your girl!

Story
BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.February 24, 2026, 1:25 pm
