Story
Introducing, Birdie! Birdie is a year old and 10 lbs. This little lady is absolutely adorable and so very sweet! Her foster mom says: Birdie is about as easy as it gets for a foster. She is a sweet, gentle and loving girl who just wants to cuddle and love on you. It’s clear that she hasn’t had much outside time, but walking her on the leash is getting easier by the day. She can do a lot of zig-zagging and potentially tangle you up, but she’s getting more comfortable walking beside us and loves all the birds, smells and sounds of the neighborhood. Birdie has had some success going potty outside, but she is pee pad trained, and has not had any accidents in the house. She is definitely skittish and is comforted by being close to her person as much as possible. Other dogs make her very anxious. Birdie is crate trained and will cozy up in there with the door open while we work but lets us know that she would prefer a lap. Always. Interested in learning more about Birdie? Apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt. *Birdie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, was given dewormer and monthly preventatives, and is microchipped.

Story
Meet PeeWee: Small Dog, Big Rules 🐾 At just 10 lbs, 4.5-year-old Yorkie mix PeeWee is living proof that dynamite comes in small packages… and occasionally explodes if you don’t respect personal space. Small, scrappy, and selective. I’m basically the bouncer at the club of my own affection, if you’re on the list, you get VIP cuddles. If you’re not? Keep your hands to yourself, Karen. Here’s the deal: PeeWee is adorable, but he’s not that random-friendly-pet-me-at-PetSmart kind of adorable. If you try to touch him without an invitation, he’s happy to give you a quick reminder that he did not consent. Once you’re in his trusted circle, though? Boom—you’re his ride-or-die. He’ll be your shadow, your lap warmer, your TV-watching buddy, and possibly your therapist if you pay him in treats. PeeWee has a very specific roommate policy: no other pets, no exceptions. He’s the leading man in his own sitcom, and there’s no room for sidekicks stealing the spotlight. If you’re looking for a pint-sized companion with a huge personality, a selective guest list, and a serious commitment to his people, PeeWee is ready to sign the adoption papers, once he decides you’re worthy.

Story
"Meet Muffin. This adorable little Yorkie girl was originally adopted from a shelter when she was around 6–7 months old. At the time, her owner was pregnant and later reached out for help caring for Muffin after the baby arrived. We came to know Muffin through that caregiver, Angelique, who ended up caring for her for nearly six months. During that time, Muffin lived with her young kids and other dogs, enjoyed daily walks, and became well established with her potty training. Muffin returned to her owner in January 2025, but Angelique stayed closely connected, hosting her for playdates and even a few overnight visits. Muffin’s owner has now made the decision to rehome her, and Angelique has stepped up to foster her once again. She reached out to our rescue to help find Muffin the loving forever home she deserves. Angelique shared this update: "Muffin is a fun, playful dog who is always ready for her next adventure. She loves playing in the yard, especially grabbing a toy and running off with it, and is always busy sniffing out new smells. She’s still learning her leash manners and does best on a short leash. At the start of a walk, she can be a bit erratic, but as she settles in, she does a much better job staying within arm’s length. She truly enjoys getting out and about and is great in the car, too. She’s likely not a great fit for a city environment, as she’s afraid of things like drains and tends to avoid them. She did well with potty training while with us, but consistency will be key as she settles back into a routine. Muffin is quick to learn, eager to please, and would do best in a home with another playful dog or with people who are excited to be her playmates. She’s an affectionate little girl who really thrives on time and connection with her people." This adorable little pup deserves more stability than she’s had and will truly blossom in a home with a flexible schedule and the consistency every dog needs. Apply today!

Story
Meet Brooklyn!  This tiny Yorkie nugget came to us after being surrendered to a rural county shelter—something we’re unfortunately seeing more often as families face tough economic decisions. We’re so glad we had space to bring Brooklyn into rescue and help her find the loving forever home she deserves. Brooklyn has been settling into her foster home with Debbie, her teenage son, and their two dogs—and she’s doing great! She integrated very easily with the resident pups, showing no signs of dominance and getting along well with everyone. She would thrive in a home with another dog for companionship, though she could also do well as an only dog if her person is home often—Brooklyn loves being close to her humans and feels most secure when she’s not alone. She’s also cat-friendly and has shown no interest in chasing, just the occasional curious glance. Brooklyn is a fun mix of active and snuggly. She enjoys walks and keeps up with the bigger dogs despite her tiny legs! She can be playful and will engage in a little fetch, though she sometimes needs encouragement with toys. Around the house, she’s happiest curled up next to her person or in a cozy lap. She can be a bit shy when meeting new people and may need a little time to warm up. Initially, she feels unsure and can feel frightened, but once she feels safe, her sweet, cuddly personality really shines through. She’ll alert you when someone is at the door, but with reassurance, she warms up quickly and becomes comfortable with visitors. Brooklyn walks nicely on a leash and enjoys pack walks, typically following the lead of other dogs. She may bark briefly when passing other dogs, but is not reactive. She is crate-trained and sleeps through the night, sometimes even choosing to go into her crate on her own. Brooklyn is still working on potty training, but can hold it all night without accidents. She will do best with an adopter who has a flexible schedule to provide frequent potty breaks and can maintain a consistent routine. Brooklyn is looking for a loving home where she can continue to build confidence and enjoy the companionship she craves. With a little time and reassurance, she will reward her family with endless affection and loyalty. Apply today!

Story
Lacie may be tiny(7 pounds), but her personality is anything but small! This spunky little sweetheart is full of charm and loves nothing more than curling up in your lap for scratches and snuggles. When she’s not soaking up attention, Lacie is on the hunt for the coziest spot in the house. If you can’t find her, just check the nearest pile of blankets. She loves to burrow under them or tuck herself behind pillows for the ultimate comfy nap! She’s a goofy girl who enjoys gentle play and sweet little nuzzles. Lacie isn’t much of a barker; she only “talks” when she’s trying to tell you something important. She walks beautifully on leash and is ready for neighborhood strolls. Plus, she comes with her own wardrobe and is excited to add to it! At nine years old, Lacey is full of life looking for her forever home!  Apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index
