Story
🌸 Meet Laurel! 🌸 Laurel is a 2-month-old Shih Tzu–Terrier mix with the sweetest little heart. She may be a bit shy when first meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her playful personality shines through. Laurel loves running around and keeping up with the older dogs in her foster home, then happily settling in for a cozy cuddle session when playtime is over. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and even cats, making her a great fit for a variety of homes. Laurel is also working hard on her puppy basics and is doing very well with crate training and house training for her age. As the last puppy of her litter still waiting for a forever family, Laurel is ready to bring love, joy, and plenty of snuggles into her next home. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s the perfect blend of playful and sweet, Laurel may be the one for you.

Story
Tucker is a Shichon mix who just turned 14 years old on Dec 28, 2025. He is between 15-20lbs. We have a 5-year-old dog and a 1-year-old dog, and we think Tucker would be happier in a slower home without other pets or kids, unless they are older, as well. He is an anxious dog who prefers quiet time. He doesn't like to be picked up but wants to be near someone. We have not kept up with his shots, but he has been healthy. He still has some play in him when the other dogs aren't around which is another reason we think he may be happier without other pets around. We don't want money for him. We want him to find a loving and slower home, so he has less stress. Please reach out if you would like to meet him. We don't have a timeline but would like his surroundings to slow down sooner than later. Thank you for your consideration. Robin

Story
Aiden is a one-year-old, 11-pound black and white Papillon mix with a big heart in a little body. He is good around other dogs and does great with children, making him a wonderful family companion. We’re still learning all the unique traits of his personality, but his signature pose is adorably holding one paw up — it’s guaranteed to melt your heart. Aiden loves treats, knows how to sit, and is eager to keep learning. He’s a total cuddle bug who’s happiest curled up on the couch with you, giving sweet kisses. Aiden is crate training, sleeps quietly through the night, and is learning his outdoor potty routine. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion, Aiden might be your perfect match. 🐾✨
