Story
Nestor is a sweet and playful 6-month-old pup bursting with personality and charm. This handsome has a unique look and a big personality in a compact package.Nestor absolutely adores other dogs and would love a canine companion to romp around with. He’s indifferent to cats and much more interested in his growing collection of toys and, of course, treats! He’s already doing great with his housebreaking and is starting to learn basic commands—he’s a smart cookie who’s eager to please.Nestor has lots of puppy energy and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can run, play, and explore. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic, and loyal companion to grow with your family, Nestor might just be your perfect match!

Story
Ri has had such a tough time finding the right home. She was originally a rescue from Puerto Rico. She is shy meeting new people but warms up and then is a velcro dog. She does well with other dogs and cats, and while she walks nice on a leash would love a fenced yard to run in. She is crate trained and housetrained. She would do best in a quieter home with older or no children.
