Story
Hey there, I’m Finn — the handsome guy who’s hoping the third time really is the charm!I’ve had a few homes before, but for different reasons it just wasn’t the right fit. I know my perfect match is out there though, and when you meet me, you’ll see why I’m worth it.Here’s the scoop on me: I’m a loyal, snuggly buddy who loves people and warms up quickly. I’ve got a major soft spot for belly rubs, pets, and couch cuddles. I also love my walks — so much that I’ll bark with excitement when I see that leash come out! Don’t worry, I’ve even got a couple tricks up my sleeve — I can sit and shake if you bribe me with treats. (Fair warning though: I can get a little overzealous about food, so I’ll need some help remembering my manners. Because of that, I’d be happiest in a home with kids 12+.)A few other things you should know:I’m a bit of an escape artist (doors and fences don’t stop me!), so leash walks are definitely the way to go.Car rides aren’t really my thing, but I do love a good nap in my crate.Other dogs can make me nervous sometimes, but stuffed toys and the occasional game of fetch make me happy.At the end of the day, I’m a sweet, loyal boy who just wants to find my forever family. If you’re looking for a walking buddy, couch companion, and a dog who will adore you endlessly, I might just be your guy.Love,Finn 🐶❤️Requirements: Martingale Collar; Children 12yrs+; Exit SeekerAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
Meet Twinkle, the 1.5-year-old, 43-pound sparkler who’s ready to light up your life! This shy and sweet girl is ready to leave her traumatic past behind her and find her forever human to show her what love, patience and kindness is. Twinkle is incredibly sweet with people she trusts, always ready to shower you with affection and brighten your day. Sweet Twinkle has been living with our dog trainer since September 1, 2025. She's crate trained, walks politely on a leash, rides beautifully in the car and LOVES other dogs! She's discovered that living inside is wonderful and has enjoyed living in a family environment (rather than outside or in a crowded kennel). She's also found that toys are super fun to play with! Twinkle was rescued from life on a heavy chain, living outside without access to food, water or reasonable shelter. Her previous owner was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Although we don't know for sure what Twinkle endured we do know that she'll need her new owner to understand that she'll take a little time to get used to her new home and be patient with her.

Canine Clip: Lucy was trapped as a stray and was then surrendered by her owner. She would need to meet any other dogs in the home. With a proper introduction, she would do well with another dog. she’s good with cats but curious. She enjoys learning new things and she is very smart. She would also love a super comfortable couch! Personality: She is a sweetheart with the happiest wagging tail and a heart full of love! She quickly bonds with her humans. Lucy LOVES belly rubs and daily walks. We are still building her confidence but she loves lounging on the couch. She is fully house trained. Dream Lifestyle: Lucy would love someone who has time for play and training, she is very intelligent and a fast learner. She would like a yard to have her zoomies in! Other Pets: She would be happy to share a home and human with other dogs (any size) or as an only pet to soak up all the attention! She is good with cats, but she is curious about them- she has never chased or harmed one. She need someone willing to continue her training, she has progressed so well over the last couple of months. She's ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to her furever family!!
