Story
Kesha is a dog who’s core belief is that you should sprinkle joy around like confetti. All perfectly petite 30-lbs of her bursts with rainbow happiness- simply she is equal parts lover-girl and party starter (where do you think she got the name.) She’s estimated to be around 1.5 years old (best guess!), possibly a pittie/pointer mix (shot in the dark on that), and she hands out confetti kisses like it’s her full-time job. Want to see Kesha “Confetti Kisses” in action? Head to YouTube for “Kesha | Confetti Kisses & Rainbow Bounce”. https://youtu.be/8CuP03M1mAk Out and about, Kesha is wildly people-friendly. The day we met her she popped right out of the car and hopped over to the group and greeted everyone, and then got so excited about all the love that she did the cutest happy spins! Don’t worry, she isn’t all bounce though, she settles once she is inside, but her vibe is still: love me, love me, love me (and yes, she while you try to fight it she will sneak at least one whole face kiss). With other dogs, she is exactly her same bouncy self. Meeting new friends on-leash comes with happy-ready-to-play greetings and off-leash bouncing alongside her new friend. She is still learning to “speak-dog” fluently but has a light-hearted approach to play and doesn’t take it personal if a dog doesn’t want to play, she will simply walk away. She would love and thrive with a medium-energy, social dog who can model good play for her to continue to learn from and also respect breaks. When we introduced her to our house cat she was respectfully curious and a bit unsure, she didn’t bark, and was happy to observe him from a distance. We see the signs of a dog who could live with a cat if she had a dog friend to channel her playful side with. If needed, a sleepover with our Kitty-Committee to get a better understanding of how she may be. Kesha is sweet, unpolished potential with the smarts and attention to learn anything you’re teaching. Her leash skills are improving but she will need to continue her practice with you by her side. Meet her with the same upbeat energy she brings, rewards the good moments, and she will learn whatever your’e teaching. Apartment life? Potentially yes, depending on the complex and your routine. If you’re an active household who enjoys outings and can commit to continued leash training, Kesha would be a fun little sidekick for the city-life version of adventure. If you want a cheerful, trainable sweetheart who’s basically a walking celebration, Kesha is absolutely your girl! Get the party started- apply today!

Story
Meet Macy, the tiny, tender-hearted house hippo you didn’t know you needed. 💕 Macy is about four years old and a perfect little 36 pounds of sleepy, snuggly goodness. Truly, she is lap-sized perfection. She fits curled up in your lap like she was custom-made for it, and she’s so easy to scoop up and carry around that you’ll constantly be wondering how you ever lived without a “portable dog.” She is calm, chill, and has strong cozy-girl energy! She is the kind of dog who is happiest being near you, snoozing deeply, occasionally opening one eye to check if it’s time for ear scratches yet. Breed-wise, Macy looks like she could be a Staffordshire terrier combined with a Pitty, which explains her compact size, sweet blocky little face, and her absolutely iconic ears. And speaking of ears… she has quite possibly the cutest ear of all time. She adores ear scratches and will dramatically tilt her head way off to the side when you hit the right spot, melting everyone in the room instantly. Add in her tiny white sock feet, her gentle piggy snorts, and the adorable little “smacks” she makes when taking treats (very politely, by the way), and you’ve got a dog who is unintentionally hilarious just by existing. Watch her tiny cuteness on camera in her video! https://youtu.be/T8FvTHmh13c?si=6VzGvhtKSG2tZXul Macy is a soft, sensitive soul who takes a little time to feel safe. She can be aloof at first and prefers to observe the world rather than jump right into it, but once she bonds with you, she loves deeply and quietly. She did well with dogs and is friendly, just not playful. She’s much more of a “let’s peacefully coexist” kind of gal. She could do well with a calm, respectful male dog who doesn’t get in her face, but she would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love, pets, and scratch sessions for herself. She walks easily on leash, loves treats, and would enjoy a backyard where she can wander, sniff, and take in the world at her own pace. That said, she’s also an excellent apartment candidate thanks to her mellow nature and small size, ideally a quieter apartment, as loud or unpredictable environments can be a bit overwhelming for her at first. Macy would thrive in a home with patient, understanding humans who will let her warm up on her own timeline. She could live with respectful older kids (we’d recommend 12+) who understand giving dogs space and reading boundaries. She’s not a dog who rushes into love, but when she chooses you, she chooses you fully. Macy is gentle. She’s sleepy. She’s soulful. She’s a tiny little lap potato with a heart of gold and a face you’ll never get tired of looking at. If you’re searching for a calm, loving companion who just wants a safe place to land, soft beds to nap on, and someone who will cherish her for the beautiful, sensitive girl she is… Macy might just be your perfect match.

Story
This cutie is Sryix .She is currently 2 months old and weighs approximately 9lbs. We think they may be a Pitbull/lab mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Sryix’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/FWBzGnOKOpo?si=LMvnsTGo1biVouEu Sryix is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. She loves to play with her siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Sryix is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Stella is a sweet, cuddly, and affectionate dog who loves being close to her people. She is fully house trained and does very well with dogs she gets to know inside the home, forming comfortable and positive relationships once she feels safe. Stella does struggle with dogs outside the house and can be reactive in those situations. Because of this, she would do best with an owner who has the time, patience, and commitment to continue her training and help her build confidence in outdoor settings. With structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she has the potential to keep improving. At home, Stella is loving, gentle, and enjoys relaxing and cuddling. She is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel secure and supported, ideally with someone who enjoys working with dogs and is willing to invest time in training and bonding.
