Story
Meet Wanda 🌸 **Two pups, one very special bond — Cosmo and Wanda are looking for a home together** Wanda is a small Chihuahua mix with a thoughtful, observant spirit. She’s a reserved girl who takes her time, carefully reading the world around her before stepping in. Rather than rushing into everything, Wanda chooses to move at a pace that feels safe to her—and that calm awareness is one of her greatest strengths. She is still learning that humans can be trusted, but once she forms that bond, Wanda is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She responds beautifully to soft voices and gentle baby talk, and when you’re calm and patient, she’ll happily settle into your lap and enjoy quiet moments together. She is bonded to her brother, Cosmo, and must be adopted with him. Wanda draws confidence from Cosmo’s protective nature and feels safest knowing he’s by her side. Together, they create a perfectly balanced pair—his bravery and her quiet discernment complement each other beautifully. Wanda thrives in a low-traffic, peaceful home where her sensitivity is respected. Fast movements can startle her, but with time and consistency, she continues to learn that the world isn’t as scary as it once seemed. With patience, understanding, and a gentle home, Wanda will reward you with deep trust and a kind of devotion that only a truly thoughtful dog can give.

Story
Duke is a 15-lb pug mix who has officially retired from chaos. After surviving many rough years in a hoarding house, Duke has decided he’s done with nonsense and is now accepting applications for a peaceful, low-key life where his preferences are respected at all times. And yes — he has a "few" preferences. Duke is firmly in his “get off my lawn” era. He prefers: ☀ Sunshine naps (the sunnier, the better) 🛋 Sitting next to you...or on you 🛏 Sleeping in your bed (or at least in your room) 🚶 Walks, walks and more walks 🏡 A quiet home with no other animals Duke must be your one and only - he has no interest in sharing his space, his human, or his peace. He’s affectionate, loyal, and sweet — as long as you understand that he wants what he wants, when he wants it. Duke thrives with patient, understanding humans who appreciate a dog with strong opinions and a deep love for routine. He doesn’t need excitement or adventure sports. He needs consistency, calm, and a person who can laugh when he side-eyes them. Duke isn’t trying to impress anyone. He’s just looking for a soft place to land, a human who loves him and respects his boundaries, and a forever home where he can live out his golden years as he chooses. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily nap in the sun, snore in your bed, and judge you lovingly from the couch… Duke is ready to move in.
