Story
Sharkie **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 10/7** Good with Kids & Dogs! 7 mos./10 lb./Male/Whippet Mix Name: Sharkie Age: 7 months Weight: 10 lbs Breed: Whippet Mix Status: Tiny guy searching for someone to sink his teeth into forever with! ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Sharkie! Don’t let the name fool you—I’m less “shark” and more 10 pounds of adorable little sidekick. I’m 7 months old, which means I’m still a puppy with plenty of growing, learning, and figuring out the world left to do. I’m a little guy with a big future ahead of me, and I’m looking for a family who’s ready for all the fun that comes with raising a young pup. I’ll need continued training, patience, consistency, and someone who understands that good manners don’t magically appear overnight. In return, you get to watch me grow into the amazing little dog I’m meant to be! ​ Best Qualities: Fun-sized: At just 10 pounds, I pack a whole lot of cute into a pretty small package. Young & ready to learn: I’m at the perfect age to keep working on my manners, confidence, and all the important skills that will help me become a great grown-up dog. Built for companionship: I’m looking for people who want their dog to be part of everyday life—not just someone hanging out in the background. That face: One look at those eyes and suddenly “Sharkie” doesn’t sound very intimidating, does it? ​ Ideal Match: My Pawfect match is a family ready to take on the fun and responsibility of a young dog. I need people who will continue my training, give me appropriate exercise and enrichment, and have the patience to guide me through the rest of puppyhood. Most of all, I’m looking for a family who wants a little buddy to grow up alongside them. ​ Deal Breakers: • Expecting me to come with grown-up manners—I’m only 7 months old and still learning! • Not interested in continuing my training. Cute will get me pretty far, but I still need guidance and consistency. • Looking for a dog who doesn’t need much involvement. I’m young, curious, and ready to be part of the family. ​ Fun Fact: The only thing this Sharkie is hunting for is his Pawfect match.

Story
Aloha! 🤙🏽 My name is Coconut and I am a 1 year old rescue puppy from Hawaii!🌈 I am an incredibly sweet, cuddly, goofy, and energetic puppy. I am crate trained, house trained, microchipped, up to date on all my shots, and do very well with other dogs! I love going on long walks, carrying sticks, going to the beach, cuddling, playing with toys, and driving in the car. My favorite snacks are coconut (of course🥥), pup cups, and peanut butter. I love toys, comfy beds, and good music. I don’t do very well with cats, so I would be best off in a house with lots of love, other puppies, and plenty of room to run around! I’d love to meet you and find my forever family!🏝️😍

Story
Charlie - The Big-Eared Sweetie Pie Imagine this tiny puppy, hungry and frightened, with no idea where he is or why the people he trusted left him behind. That was Charlie’s reality when he was found dumped and abandoned on a beach in Puerto Rico. 😢 He was scared. He was hungry. And he was all alone. But then someone stopped and saw him. Someone cared. And little by little, Charlie began to discover that the world could be a kind place after all. ❤️ Today, this adorable little boy is showing his foster family what a sweet soul he truly is. Charlie is super gentle, incredibly loving, and absolutely precious — especially those BIG, adorable ears! 🥹🐾 He loves being around people and is wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs. He has so much love to give and just needs what every puppy deserves: a safe home, a soft place to sleep, and someone who will never abandon him again. Charlie is currently in Puerto Rico with his foster family, who adore him and know he will be a wonderful addition to any family. He is so full of love and fun! His adoption fee includes transportation to anywhere in the mainland US (except the west coast). Charlie has already survived the hardest part of his story. Now he’s waiting for the part where he gets his happily ever after. 💙 Charlie is ready for his forever family.

Story
Meet Amy the Smart, Sweet Cattle Dog Pup! Adoption Fee: $449 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Amy's story could have ended very differently — this brave little girl was found dodging cars and trucks in the middle of a busy highway until a kind person stopped to save her. Now safe in a loving foster home, Amy is ready to find the forever family she deserves! At about ten months old, Amy - we think is a Basenji/classic Cattle Dog — intelligent, eager to please, and full of puppy energy. She's a nice size at 38lbs. She's doing wonderfully in her foster home, where she's already crate trained and house trained. Amy gets along great with other dogs and loves to play and learn new things. She also loves car rides. She's very affectionate and people-friendly — the kind of pup who wants to be right by your side for every adventure. Amy would thrive with a family who will include her in their daily activities and give her the love, attention, and mental stimulation her smart little brain craves.
