Story
Meet Lily Twix! 🐾 Lily Twix is a sweet, scruffy little lady with a heart full of love and a playful spirit! Estimated to be under a year old, she’s still learning about the world and would thrive in a home with another small dog who can show her the ropes and help build her confidence. Lily Twix is the perfect mix of cuddles and play — she’ll happily bounce around with her toys or curl up beside you for some cozy snuggle time. She adores treats, gentle attention, and spending time with her furry best friend. This little lovebug would do well in a home with adults or a family, as long as she gets the patience and reassurance she needs to continue blossoming. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your days with (and maybe some treats!), Lily Twix might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Wookie, the adorable, spirited 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix who’s guaranteed to bring joy into any home! With his playful, confident personality, Wookie might be small in size, but he’s a giant in heart. While we can't pinpoint his exact mix, we think there might be some Boston Terrier and Poodle in his genes, given his lively demeanor and curiosity. Wookie is super friendly with people, especially kids, and has no problem meeting new faces. He's equally excited to meet cats and, though he’s full of energy, he could likely live happily with them, as long as they're tolerant of his playful nature. As for other dogs? He loves them! Wookie thrives on interaction and is always ready to entertain or be entertained by his companions. Car rides are one of his favorite activities—Wookie will happily snuggle into your lap, perched at the window, eager to watch the world go by. He might pull a bit on the leash, but his small size makes him easy to manage. His coat is a bit coarse and sheds a little, but it’s nothing too overwhelming. If you’re looking for a bubbly, affectionate, and adventurous companion, Wookie is the one for you! He’s ready to bring some fun and love to his forever family.

Story
Cooper was my mom's beloved dog. After losing her last year, and then my father later in the year, we've been doing our best to find Cooper a new home within the family. Unfortunately, it's been difficult as many already have dogs, and for others, the time and energy he needs just isn't possible. Cooper is nearly 13 but still very active. He loves being close to people and thrives on companionship. He will happily follow you around the house and wants to be part of whatever you're doing. He enjoys walks and playing fetch or tug with his favorite toy. He would make a wonderful companion for someone who can give him the attention he craves. He will come with everything he needs: a dog bed, lounging mat, blanket, toys, walking harness/leash, grooming gloves, fenced pen and food. We're hoping to find him a loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by care and companionship.
