Story
Ginger is a great lap dog— very lovable. She has been keeping my elderly Mom company for a couple of years now, but my Mom can no longer live by herself. Ginger is shy & skidish around big groups of people, so when family comes on holiday, we would put her in the bedroom. She only barks when someone comes to the door or when she wants to come back in the house when in back yard. She is also camera shy so I couldn’t get a good picture. Her perfect home would be with an elderly couple with no kids or other animals. She loves to sit in the chair with you or sleep in the bed with you if you allow.

Story
BREED-Rat Terrier Mix SEX-Male; SIZE-Small. WEIGHT-15 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 2 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-$300; Hi there, I'm Zaden! I'm a little shy, but once I warm up, I'm as sweet as can be. You see, I ended up in this shelter after a hilarious mix-up. I was happily chasing my tail in the park, when a squirrel caught my eye. I forgot about my tail and chased the squirrel instead. Somehow, I lost my human in the process and ended up here. I'm still a playful pup at heart, always ready for a game of fetch or a belly rub. If you're looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion who might occasionally forget you in favor of a squirrel, I'm your guy!April 15, 2025, 8:04 am

I'm Portia, a spirited lass from Mexico. Once, I was just an ordinary pup, until a strange meteorite crashed near me, bestowing me superpowers. I could leap high, run fast, even understand human language! I became 'La Perra Poderosa' - the Powerful Pup, protecting my neighborhood from mischievous cats and pesky squirrels. But, my superpowers attracted attention. A kind-hearted human discovered me and brought me here, to this shelter. Now, I await a new adventure with a loving family. I promise to protect, love, and play with you. Will you be my superhero?April 13, 2025, 2:45 pm

Story
Niko is a true lap dog with a lively interest in being outdoors. He was spotted multiple times running the streets before his rescue.  Ideally, he should have daily walks and a very secure backyard since he still seems to hear the call of the wild.  Niko also enjoys looking out the window and going to dog parks, is cooperative getting his harness on, can be left loose when you're out, is good on car rides, and is not a picky eater. Niko is generally low-maintenance with some high-maintenance moments.  He seems okay around respectful children (about 6+), and dogs of all sizes (favors larger dogs), he is playful, and has guard dog tendencies of barking at people/noises near your windows and doors.  He lunges towards squirrels and rabbits, but with bicyclists he ignores some and barks at others.  He alternates from walking with a confident, princely gait, to intensely following a trail nose down, to stopping and sprinkling multiple objects, to galloping towards a desirable tree. As energetic as Niko sometimes can be, he is a deep sleeper who loves to snooze on a dog bed with comfy blankets or get under the covers on a people bed.   Niko is chock full of personality, but the sort that is especially endearing.  He is a charmer with an independent streak.  But most of all he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##
