Story
My puppy is named Oso which means Bear. Age: 5-6 months.I got him from a friend of a friend who just need him to be sat for. Never came back for him. He is super energetic, goofy, clumsy and loving. We kept him because he was so cute but he has a very dominanting personality but just towards our other dog. They don't along very well even with supervision. I recommend a home with no dogs or someone who has experience with multiple dogs. Also he is not very house-trained, I don't know if he has had his shots either and I dont make enough to keep him. I just don't want him to be put down he is such a sweet boy that just needs a family that will give him the love he deserves. I do have a kennel, toys, blanket and if theres any puppy food left. You can take them also.

Meet Emoji! Breed: Chihuahua MixGender: FemaleAge: AdultSize: Small (9 lbs)Good with: Her trusted people, quiet environments Emoji is a firm believer in stranger danger—and honestly, we respect her boundaries! This little Chihuahua mix likes the people she trusts, but she's not about to hand out that trust to just anyone who walks by. She doesn't warm up quickly and takes her time to really feel people out, making sure they're worthy of her affection before she commits. Emoji would likely do best in a quiet, adult-only home that doesn't have a lot of visitors. She's not built for the chaos of constant comings and goings, surprise guests, or unpredictable social situations. What she needs is a calm, predictable environment with a small circle of trusted humans who understand that her love is earned, not given freely. Once you're in Emoji's inner circle, you're IN—but getting there requires patience, consistency, and respect for her need to assess the situation on her own timeline. She's not unfriendly, she's just cautious. And in a world that can be overwhelming for a small dog, that's actually pretty smart. At just 9 pounds, Emoji is the perfect pocket-sized companion for someone who wants a loyal sidekick without the pressure of having a social butterfly dog. She's ideal for a quiet household, maybe with one or two people, where she can feel safe and secure without constantly having to meet new people or adapt to new situations. If you're looking for a small dog who will be devoted to YOU specifically (and maybe one or two other carefully vetted humans), Emoji is ready to emoji-heart you—once she's sure you're trustworthy! Ready to welcome Emoji into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful girl!

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.

Story
Hi! I’m Luann, but everyone calls me “Lu.” I’m a happy, playful, and snuggly love bug looking for my forever family. I like to stay busy with walks, playing tug and fetch, wrestling, and stalking lizards and bugs in the backyard. I also enjoy going to doggy daycare and working on my training. After a long day, my favorite thing to do is tuck myself into my blankie on my foster mom’s lap. I’m very smart and learn commands quickly. I already know "sit," "down," "touch," "place," "crate," "come," and even some agility commands. I really love learning new things! While I can be a little shy around new people and dogs, I warm up quickly with calm introductions, time, and treats. I haven’t been around cats or children yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. I would love to find an active home where I can get lots of pets and cuddles.

Story
Kate was found along with her 5 precious puppies in an area known for abandoned dogs. This little family wouldn't have survived if they hadn't been rescued by a caring person. Kate was nervous at first but now that she knows she is safe, she is a sweet little girl. Please give her a second chance at a loving home.
