Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tuesday is a funny, opinionated little guy who gets along well with other dogs and generally prefers women over men. He can be suspicious of new people at first, so he would do best with someone willing to let him warm up at his own pace. Tuesday loves toys and definitely needs plenty of them to keep him entertained. He can be possessive of high-value items like bones, so his future home should be comfortable respecting his space and managing those items appropriately. Underneath all of those strong opinions, Tuesday is a playful, entertaining dog with plenty of personality.

Story
Hello, world. I’m Nellie. I’ve decided it’s time I introduce myself because there is something very important you need to know about me: I. LOVE. PEOPLE. Seriously. People are kind of my thing. I love being held. I love laps. I love curling up right next to my person for a good movie—or a bad movie, I’m not picky. I love relaxing beside you, following you from room to room, and generally making sure you are never forced to experience the tragedy of being alone. Dogs? Dogs are cool. I prefer the calm ones who understand personal space and aren’t trying to turn every Tuesday afternoon into WrestleMania. But PEOPLE? People have hands. Hands give pets. And getting my fair share of those pets is SERIOUS BUSINESS. If another dog happens to be getting attention, you may suddenly feel a little tap tap tap on your shin. That’s me. I have located the itchy spot you didn’t know you had, and I am absolutely willing to scratch it for you. For free. Out of the goodness of my heart. This completely selfless act has nothing whatsoever to do with reminding you that there is an adorable Nellie standing right here who has somehow gone several seconds without being petted. I will follow you around. I will keep you company. I will happily occupy your lap. And I will vie for every single bit of attention currently available for distribution. Because while I may be willing to share my people... I will also be keeping very close tabs on the allocation of resources. So now that we’ve gotten the important stuff out of the way, there’s just one thing left: I’m ready to find my person. And I believe your lap is currently available.

Spayed or Neutered,
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.

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Friday is a tiny dog with the confidence and attitude of a full-sized Rottweiler. She is funny, independent, dramatic, and very clear about what she wants. Friday enjoys playing chase, relaxing in her dog bed inside her kennel, and occasionally using a gentle nip to your butt, thigh, or calf as her preferred method of getting your attention. She likes her space and is perfectly happy entertaining herself, but she also enjoys being around her people on her own terms. Friday has a huge personality packed into a very small body and would be a great match for someone who appreciates an independent dog with a little sass and a lot of character.

Story
Meet Iroh! He’s 6 years old and has been a big part of our family. He loves belly rubs, laying out in the sun, and running around outside. He’s happiest when he has room to play, relax, and enjoy some attention.We recently welcomed a newborn into our family, and decided it was time to find Iroh a different home where he can have more love and attention. He’s been getting worked up around the baby, and as hard as it is, we’ve decided that finding him a new home would be best for both him and our growing family.We’re hoping to find Iroh a loving home where he can get the attention and space he deserves. We’d love to see him go somewhere he can be comfortable, happy, and just be himself.This hasn’t been an easy decision for us, and we really want to make sure he goes to a good home.
