Story
Meet Anchor and Sail and read what their wonderful family has to say about them. “Sail and Anchor are two fun loving pups whose gift for loving is guaranteed to float your boat! These two lovely girls had a rough go at life early on. They didn’t have much in the streets, but they had each other, and they came out of those hard times with a wonderful bond of friendship. They are BFFs who would love to find human companions willing to adopt them both and add to the love fest! Sail is the party animal – she loves to turn the fun up and get Anchor all excited for a fun chase or wrestling match. She’s friendly with strangers and other dogs, food motivated, smart and a quick learner – she’s currently mastering “sit” and can’t wait to be taught new stuff. Anchor gets in on the fun too, but her true joy is to cozy right up to you, lick you lots (if you let her), and cuddle. She’s a master tailwagger and enthusiastic greeter of all who enter. She loves food and wants to please, and is currently making steady progress learning how to greet other dogs not with a bark, but with a proper, cordial buttsniff. Living with Sail and Anchor is like sailing with the wind at your back. While they’re always up for a tug at a toy, you won’t need to play with them a ton, since they’re so good at entertaining each other. They’re easy sleepers, dreaming soundly through the night on their own, and at mealtime they inhale their kibbles enthusiastically. Their one demand - and this one's NOT negotiable - is a few hearty bellyrubs a day. If you’re looking for a double dose of companionship, Anchor and Sail are an ideal pair whose sweet, loving vibes will fill your home and hearts.” Please submit an application to meet them if they sound like a match for you.

Story
Smallz is an obedient, chill dog. He is house trained. We inherited him from a family member who passed away 3 years ago. We are sad to be looking for a new home for him. We have a new baby and he has become slightly anxious and acting a little out of the ordinary. We are nervous he will become aggressive towards the baby and we think this is what’s best.

Story
NAME:PatchesSTATS:Male, Shih Tzu/Maltese mix, 3 years, 18 lbs.TEMPERAMENT:Friendly.Playful, but not overly so.SKILLSDoing great with potty training.Crate trained.Leash trained.Good with children.Good with dogs.Likes walks, but not great for hiking.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Couch cuddler.Likes walks.Likes playing with other dogs.BREED needs regular clippings to avoid matting.Suggest training (basic manners).ONE LAST THING:Meet Patches!Patches is a strikingly handsome 3-year-old pup, and his good looks don't go unnoticed! We're regularly stopped on walks by people who want to tell us what a gorgeous dog he is. But Patches is so much more than a pretty face—he's a loving, happy, 18-pound companion with a wonderful personality.Patches loves people, especially children of all ages, and he would make a fun addition to a family. Everyone will enjoy watching him happily play with balls and stuffed toys, but he's equally content settling in for a gentle bone-chewing session or snuggling beside you on the couch for some TV time.Patches takes his job as family protector very seriously. Amazon deliveries, passing people, and other potential 'threats' must all be announced with his strong, enthusiastic bark! Because of this, he would not be a good fit for apartment living.He enjoys the company of most other dogs, although he can get very excited when he sees them on walks and tends to bark. He would benefit from some training to learn good manners when meeting new canine friends.Patches is also a very smart boy and a quick learner. He figured out the dog door almost immediately! He'll need a little more guidance and consistency to perfect his potty training, but he's eager to learn.Patches does like to chase cats and squirrels, although his motivation seems to be more curiosity than anything else.With his loving nature, playful spirit, intelligence, and irresistible good looks, Patches has so much to offer. He's ready to find a family who will appreciate all of his wonderful qualities and help him continue to become the best dog he can be.September 8, 2026, 9:35 am
