Story
Pluto is a fun, energetic puppy with a big personality and an even bigger love for playtime! 🐾💙 He loves playing with his sibling and his older foster dog, and he has tons of energy to keep up with all the fun. Pluto absolutely loves toys and especially enjoys when his humans join in and play with him! He is puppy-pad trained and can also go potty outside on command. We’re currently working on helping him learn to let us know when he needs to go. Pluto is a sweet, playful pup who would make a wonderful addition to just about any home. He’s ready to bring lots of love, laughs, and puppy fun to his forever family! 🐶 -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Hi there! I'm LakeSerene, a 5-year-old Shih Tzu! I'm ready for my forever home, and I love car rides and playing with other dogs — the more adventures, the better! 🚗 I'm a little shy at first, but I'm opening up more every day as I build confidence with the people around me. ✨ *LakeSerene would do best in a home with one or more dogs. -----

Work from home, homebody or retired?! Are you looking for a companion? You might be a match for Arugula! 💚 Arugula is a sweet pup ready to find her forever home. She enjoys following you around and seeing what you are up to! She would do well as the only pup in the home or with another pup in the home that is calm and mellow. Arugula is very smart and ready to learn. She currently prefers women and is good with older children. A calmer home would be best for this beauty! -----

Hi there! I'm Odometer, a 7-year-old sable and white Shih Tzu who's ready to steal your heart (just check out my red and white hearts collar!) 💕 I'm a petite 13.2-pound girl with a big personality. I love being talked to, I'm a great listener, and I absolutely light up when my person comes home 🐕 I'm friendly, loyal, and smart, and I adore my stuffies; having one eye hasn't slowed me down one bit! -----
