Story
Effie is a female Shih-tzu mix. DOB: August of 2025 Estelle is a female Maltipoo mix DOB: August of 2023 Combined Adoption fee: $300 (special needs) Effie: I am a puzzle, my pieces are a bit scattered, but they all come together when I am with Estelle. I have trouble accepting affection without her. Not much information was provided upon intake, but they do know; I get my confidence from Estelle. I know I have a face that just makes you want to pick me up and show me that love is grand. I can trust you and to not be afraid. That is not what I need. I need time, patience, and Estelle. I will go for walks on lead, as long as I am with Estelle, I will accept pets and will play with toys with you, maybe even give you kisses, when I am with Estelle. In time, I will grow to love and trust you, but it will not happen if I am forced into it without my security blanket. I am submissive with other dogs, and I like cats; they are bigger than I am. I will require a secure, fenced yard as I am tiny and can fit through small spaces. For more information about me and my friend Estelle, please contact the shelter. Estelle: I am a very sweet lady. I love to go for walks and play with my best friend, Effie. I am very affectionate and enjoy lots of love and kisses. Not much information was provided when I arrived at the shelter. I appear to have had pups in the past, but I am spayed now. Effie may have been a pup from one of my litters; she is very reliant on me. We are a package deal. I had not received much vet care in my previous situation and I am heartworm positive. I am currently receiving treatment. I am available for foster with intent to adopt or possibly foster until my treatment is completed in October. More information can be provided if someone is interested in adopting or just fostering us. It all starts with an application. I would prefer a more mature home atmosphere, although I am playful, Effie would not do well in a household with unusual commotion. I will be fine with dog-friendly cats. For more info on me or my friend Effie, please reach out to the shelter.

Story
Joe belonged to my father, so he was the only pet in the home, and would be best as the only pet in his future home.He will follow you around while you do chores, or nap by your feet.He is housebroken and enjoys walks 3-4x a day.He is very playful, loves to fetch his toys and needs sturdy squeaky toys. Lots of energy!Crate trained/sleeps in a crate all night quietly. Good with routines.Joe does bark a lot, and seems to have some anxiety issues--we are working with the vet on a medication to help Joe feel his best. He takes two different medications for anxiety at the same time each day. He is very good about taking medicine! He also has seasonal allergies, so takes 1/2 benadryl tab twice a day.(Note: He will get into shorter trash receptacles vs tall kitchen ones. He has chewed up articles of clothing in the past. He has not done any of this in a couple months (after starting anxiety meds).)

Story
Fiddle has been loved by his family since he was a puppy. He is an affectionate boy who forms deep bonds with his people and has a loving side that shines through in the right environment.Fiddle struggles with some anxiety and aggression that can lead to unpredictable reactions, including going after someone unexpectedly. He strongly guards food, toys, and spaces and may react aggressively by trying to bite if he feels they are threatened.Fiddle needs an adult-only home with experienced owners who understand canine body language, anxiety, and resource guarding. He needs a calm, structured environment, patient guidance, and careful management to keep everyone safe.We love Fiddle dearly, but must prioritize our children’s safety. This decision comes from a place of love, and we hope to find him a quiet, understanding home that recognizes both his affectionate nature and his challenges and can give him the care and structure he needs. ❤️He is crate trained but doesn’t love being locked up
