Story
Meet Oak: a 1-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle cross who comes with a heavy dose of charm, a brief backstory of breeding, and a grand total of zero understanding of how leashes work. Weighing in at a portable 7 kg, this little guy is essentially a professional shadow who gives out an abundance of kisses and will happily claim a spot right under the covers in your bed. He is currently figuring out the finer points of indoor living, which means he is still mastering the whole "potty business happens outside" concept and occasionally practices his structural engineering skills on shoes.  Oak can be quite cautious in new situations and is currently terrified of leashes—translating to a full-on pancake impression rather than a walk—so he needs a patient home ready to take things at his speed. Because he draws a lot of confidence from other dogs, his ideal forever home must include another confident resident dog to show him the ropes, along with a secure yard where he can safely potter around. He would thrive best with a patient family (older, gentle kids would be fine) who understands that he is basically a young puppy making up for lost time and will reward your patience with total devotion.Estimated DOB: October 2025Adoption Fee: $795

Story
Meet Cedar, a sweet but cautious little fellow who has mastered housetraining, enjoys wearing sweaters, and believes indoor fetch is a competitive sport. He walks just fine once he’s outside, but firmly expects VIP chauffeur service through the hallway and out the front door.Cedar can be timid in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, he switches straight into full-time cuddle mode. He loves being near his people, chasing toys, and snuggling up, but he also gains a lot of confidence from other dogs, so a friendly canine companion to show him the ropes would be ideal.Cedar hasn’t had the easiest start in life, and he’s still learning that the world isn’t quite as scary as he once thought. He’s looking for a patient home without young children, where he can settle in at his own pace and continue building his confidence. Give him a little time, and you’ll have a loyal, affectionate little sidekick who makes every bit of patience worthwhile.Adoption Fee: $795Estimated DOB: October 2021Adoption application: https://www.furballforce.org/adoptable-dogs/cedar
