Story
Coco is an energetic, expressive, and sassy dog who loves to go on walks. She loves to sit up on the couch and sunbath outside. She is highly intelligent and needs as much mental stimulation as physical stimulation. She would do best in a fenced yard to play in. She loves having her hair brush and is used to grooming. She has recently gotten her rabies and DA2PPV vaccines for the next year and is well behaved at the vet/clinic.

Story
Hi, this is fifi or fi! She’s an 8 year old shorkie that is the sweetest little girl. She loves cuddles, walks, and other pups. Previously she lived with my grandmother and we took her in after her passing, not thinking that the kids would be too overwhelming for her. She is fine with children, we just hate to have her running around scared when the house is chaotic as she’s used to one person and one other dog. She loves to be by your side or on you, which includes at night. She was trained on puppy pads growing up, but living with us, she also goes outside. She’s truly the most gentle, sweet, and adorable little girl. Looking for this to be her forever home and am very specific on where she goes since she means so much to our family.

Meet Tucker – the sweetest senior gentleman around! Tucker is a 14-year-old sweetheart who’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love. This gentle old soul is friendly with everyone he meets — dogs, cats, kids — you name it! He’s perfectly housebroken and has the calm, easygoing nature that only comes with age and wisdom. Tucker’s previous owner loved him dearly but could no longer care for him, so now he’s hoping to find a forever home to cherish him through his senior days. He’s a total lovebug who enjoys being near his people, soaking up attention, and sharing quiet moments together.
