Story
Meet Max Max is a white and cream Shih Tzu with a big personality packed into a small, fluffy body. He’s a young, spunky puppy who wakes up every day ready to play, explore, and make his people smile.One of Max’s standout talents? Fetch. And not just casual fetch — this guy is a championship-level retriever. Toss the toy and watch him light up as he proudly brings it right back, over and over again. He also does wonderfully off leash, showing impressive focus and responsiveness for such a young dog.Max is affectionate, playful, and eager to please, but like many puppies, he’s still learning how to navigate the world. He does best with gentle guidance and calm corrections. He’s a sensitive soul who responds beautifully when approached with patience, clarity, and kindness — think coaching, not scolding.With the right person or family, Max will thrive into an incredibly loyal and fun companion. If you’re looking for a joyful little dog with energy, heart, and a soft side, Max might just be your perfect match.Young. Playful. Talented. And ready for his forever home.Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.The application is the first step.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Kiba! Kiba came to us heartworm positive from a high-kill shelter, but thanks to an available foster, we were able to pull him to safety and start treatment right away. Today, Kiba is happy, healthy, and thriving — with a warm bed, a full belly, and a whole lot of gratitude. Kiba is being fostered in a home with other dogs and loves running around the yard and soaking up affection from his foster mommy. He does best when meals are served separately, as he can be protective of his food around other dogs — an easy management step that helps everyone stay comfortable. Kiba wants you to know he’s proudly rocking a few special features: lots of lovable lumps and bumps, one eye, and an adorable snaggle tooth! He embraces every one of his quirks and is hoping for an adopter who will do the same. This spunky, chunky guy is full of personality and ready to find a home that will love him exactly as he is. If you’re looking for a resilient, one-of-a-kind companion, Kiba might be your perfect match.   Medical Notes: Neutered Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Heartworm Positive - treatment completed ProHeart 12 Injection Maintained on monthly flea/tick prevention Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 5, 2026, 10:32 am
