Story

Hi. My name is Luna Estrella(moon and stars). My mom. (Only owner) loves me so much. Her life has hit a drastic change and deploys for many months at a time. Family cared for me last time , but not like mom. I am so very sweet, and loving. Great with kids of all ages, and other dogs. Many have wanted me, but this is really hard on my mom. I am an explorer. I definitely require a fenced yard or leash walks. I do have a tiny bladder at 9 pounds. I LOVE, love BIG. if its kisses and snuggles you want. We'll, here i am. My mom will be very. Very careful whom I will be rehomed to, hence the adoption fee.

Story

Meet Ivy — born October 27, 2025, and weighing just 3 pounds, this tiny girl is full of spunk and personality! About Ivy's Breed: Our best guess is that Ivy is a Shih Tzu mix. Shih Tzus are affectionate, loyal, and charming little dogs that make excellent companions. They are known for their long, flowing coats, gentle personalities, and adaptability to different living environments. Because of their small size and moderate exercise needs, Shih Tzus thrive in apartments or houses where they can enjoy short walks and plenty of indoor time. Their ideal home is one that provides consistent grooming, a calm environment, and lots of companionship, as they love being close to their humans. Shih Tzus do well with families, singles, or older adults, especially in households that appreciate their affectionate nature and don’t mind a bit of regular coat care. Ivy is very active and playful , always on the move and often the instigator of games with her brothers and sisters. She loves to chase, pounce, and keep everyone on their toes with her mischievous energy. Her favorite toys are a puppy chew bone and a pink stuffed squeaky pig, which she proudly carries around and squeaks with delight. Ivy will need someone who can be home with her to train her, and since she is a puppy she shouldn't be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time during her training. Ivy’s Highlights: Playful spirit , always chasing her siblings Tiny but mighty , weighing just 3 pounds Toy lover , especially her chew bone and squeaky pig Energetic personality , keeps the fun going all day Ivy may be small, but she’s bursting with joy and charm. With her playful antics and lively nature, she’s sure to bring endless smiles and laughter to her forever family.January 5, 2026, 9:42 am

Meet Poppy — born October 27, 2025, and weighing 2 lbs 5 oz, this tiny sweetheart is the baby of her litter but full of charm and personality! About Poppy's Breed: Our best guess is that Poppy is a Shih Tzu mix. Shih Tzus are affectionate, loyal, and charming little dogs that make excellent companions. They are known for their long, flowing coats, gentle personalities, and adaptability to different living environments. Because of their small size and moderate exercise needs, Shih Tzus thrive in apartments or houses where they can enjoy short walks and plenty of indoor time.

Shih Tzus do well with families, singles, or older adults, especially in households that appreciate their affectionate nature and don’t mind a bit of regular coat care. Poppy may have started out small, but she’s made up for it with her big appetite and even bigger heart. She’s super snuggly and loves nothing more than cuddling close, showering her humans with puppy kisses. Her newest trick is sitting up on her little behind and then flopping dramatically onto her side—guaranteed to make you smile! Poppy is small and more timid/shy than her siblings. She needs a calm home where she can be an only pet and enjoy her family all to herself! Poppy will need someone who can be home with her to train her, and since she is a puppy she shouldn't be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time during her training. Poppy’s Highlights: Adorable cuddle bug , loves snuggles and puppy kisses Playful spirit , pounces on stuffed toys (especially squeaky ones!) Food lover , enjoys eating right out of your hand Tiny but mighty , weighing just 2 lbs 5 oz Entertaining personality , shows off her silly flop-over trick Poppy is a sweet, playful, and affectionate pup who’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless cuddles to her forever family.
