Story
Name / Breed / Age: Pea, Shar Pei, Adult  Personality Traits: Quiet, The Independent Thinker, The Old Soul Likes / Dislikes:  Like - meal time! Dislike - bath time  Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and will be spayed prior to adoption. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet!   Meet Pea   Sweet little Pea is a gentle, easygoing girl who thrives with patience, routine, and a calm home. Because she has very limited vision, Pea needs a little time to learn her surroundings and feel secure. Once she does, she settles in beautifully and confidently navigates her world using her excellent nose and ears. You may see her gently boop walls or furniture as she moves around, her own version of mapping out where she is, which is both endearing and impressive.   Pea enjoys exploring the yard, can manage steps with a moment to orient herself, and knows exactly where to go when she needs to potty. She lets you know by heading toward the back door, giving you time to help her get outside.   She is not a big cuddler, but she loves being near her people. Pea will sit close, nap nearby, and happily accept ear and butt scritchies. When you talk to her, her wrinkly, semi nekkid tail wiggles with joy. She greets her foster with happy barks and even a little jump for pets when they come home.   Pea loves her kennel and chooses it as her safe, cozy space for sleeping and meals. She happily goes in when her bowl is ready. One of her most charming quirks is her quiet little grumble or growl, especially around food. Sometimes she will rearrange her bowl just right while softly talking to herself, or simply sit and grumble thoughtfully for no apparent reason.   Because of her limited vision, Pea can startle if another dog sneaks up on her. She may growl or snap to say “hey, I didn’t see you,” but there is no aggression behind it. She would do best as an only dog or with calm, respectful dog friends who understand her needs and give her space.   Pea truly is an easy dog to have. She is gentle, predictable, and quietly affectionate. She is looking for a forever home willing to give her a little time to adjust, appreciate her quirks, and let her continue to blossom. In return, Pea will offer steady companionship, sweet moments, and a whole lot of heart. ##2564793##

Story
Brief Liam is a dapper dude with a head as round and smooth as a honeydew melon and eyes like golden quarters. He is a boxer and Staffordshire terrier mix that has been with us the past year. Liam is looking for another lucky person/family for mutually beneficial, loving companionship. Liam is a cool dog if he had to be summarized in one word. He’s obedient to and deferential to human instruction. He loves to snuggle and cuddle especially on the couch and in bed. He loves a walk/bursts of trotting and also rides in the car. He is E collar trained and is also generally obedient off leash. He's a favorite wherever he goes. Liam is a confident boy when meeting other dogs. He gets along with other non-reactive dogs. He has a high prey drive. Liam has an adaptable nature and willll likely do well in most environments. He could be a solo dog or would do well with another non-reactive dog in the home - especially a female one. Foster to adopt sponsored. Come and meet LIAM!

Story
Queenie has had a tough life, being overbred and likely caged. She is extremely affectionate and her favorite spot is to be a snuggly decorative pillow leaning on you, nuzzling her head into yours - she cannot get enough. She would be a wonderful support/comfort animal with her hands on affection. Queenie gets along with the other fosters in the home, though she does exhibit some intolerance to female dogs in which case she pins them on their backs until they behave. This may be a result of her being a mother. She likes to walk and is crate trained, and E collar trained. She doesn’t mind being alone in my bedroom, which is her preferred space. She is extremely sweet with all humans, approaching them calmly, looking for love, with her little nubby tail going like an allegro metronome. Queenie is available and is sponsored for foster to adoption. Telling me this loving lady. You won't be disappointed.
