This adorable little heartthrob is Hitch, and just like the movie, his specialty is bringing people together… specifically, you and your new best friend. At just 10 months old, Hitch is the perfect mix of puppy fun and already-learning-the-rules charm. He’s friendly, affectionate, and fully committed to finding his person. His dating strategy? Tail wags, happy zoomies, and expert-level cuddles. Honestly… it works every time. Looking for someone who will: Greet you like a celebrity every single dayThink you are the funniest, smartest, most amazing human aliveNever ghost you Be ready for adventures or couch time Congratulations. Hitch just matched with YOU. Disclaimer:The information in this profile is based on observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment.

Story
Meet Big Pokey, a delightful 12-pound adult dog whose personality is as big as his heart. He`s sweet, friendly, and curious, always ready to explore with a gentle demeanor although his eagerness causes him to lead the way on a leash as he marches along. We don`t know yet if he is house trained so please be patient if he needs more guidance. Despite his shy nature, Big Pokey loves cuddling on laps, giving kisses, and making friends with other dogs. We haven`t seen him interact with children yet. He`s the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal friend to share in life`s quiet moments and gentle adventures. Big Pokey deserves a loving home where he can continue to offer his affection and companionship. (tw1/22/2026)

Story
GETS ALONG WITH EVERYONE!  DOB 1/1/24 WEIGHT 16 # Hey there, everyone! I’m Henry, a loving, perky, and adorable tan-and-white Jack Russell Terrier/ Chihuahua mix fella who always puts my best paw forward! Don’t you love the white tip on the end of my tail? I have a sweet, friendly personality that’s good with children, small dogs, and cats. I love to hang out in my foster mom’s lap when she sits on the sofa, where we binge on Animal Planet or Netflix. I was rescued from a Fresno, TX home where I was cruelly kept tied up outside with no protection from the elements. In my opinion, a yard is meant to run and play with toys in, and a home is meant to live and cuddle with hoomans in. Needless to say, I breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived at the safe haven of my foster home! I’m a good boy who’s already crate-trained. Now I’m ready to bring my shining personality and playful antics to my new home. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! HOPE ID D25-1227-0058 Henry’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas. To apply online:http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Henry will be this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

Story
Biscuit is an energetic, silly boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves toys, backyard zoomies, and playing with his foster siblings—both two-legged and four-legged! He’s incredibly smart and already knows his name, sit, lay down, and kennel, especially when snacks are involved (he’s very food-motivated 😄). When playtime is over, Biscuit turns into a total snuggle bug and can often be found sleeping in the funniest positions imaginable. He enjoys chewing on sticks, running laps in the yard, and being wherever his people are. He’s still working on potty training and is doing wonderfully as he continues to learn and grow. Biscuit is a joyful, loving pup who will make a fantastic companion for an active, affectionate home. Biscuit is a male Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix with an estimated date of birth of 10/3/25. As of 1/17, he weighs 10 lbs.
