Story
Say hello to Sabbath! Aka Sabby! , came from a liter his mommy helped delivered . he was the last one born October 9th 2024. Sabbath is energetic. Extremely lovable . Loves attention ! He can be alittle hyper at times jumping up on ya looking for a kiss 😚. He stills needs work with others dogs. And with humans he is good but he is cautious may come across defensive... While he is on a harness/ leash he will feel more secured. He will need help adapting .. he is good with learning new commands. He sits, give paws, gives High 5 fives , obeys with using “settle” command. He is crate trained with a treat and loves puppy lullaby, music. When he is crated Sabbath needs more space .. to run and play. On top of getting unconditional love from his new humans that he’s been getting from us. fyi he loves sleeping with his humans ❤️

Story
Midnight and Shadow are a sweet, bonded pair of pups who are happiest when they’re together and surrounded by their people. They’ve lived with kids and absolutely adored them—so much so that they happily snuggled up and even slept in their beds. These two thrive on companionship and love being part of the family’s everyday adventures. Both dogs are active, playful, and always ready for fun—especially if stuffed toys are involved! Whether it’s a game of toss in the yard or a cozy cuddle session after playtime, Midnight and Shadow are all in. They’re also big fans of car rides and are excited to tag along wherever you’re headed. They’ve only been around each other, but with slow, proper introductions, they could make new dog friends. Both have crate experience and while Midnight is house trained, Shadow is still learning and will benefit from continued routine and patience. At mealtime, they’ll need to be fed separately, as Shadow loves food so much he’ll try to help himself to Midnight’s portion too! If you’re looking for a loving, energetic duo to fill your home with joy, playfulness, and double the cuddles, Midnight and Shadow are ready to be your loyal companions.

Story
Lemon was rescued from a high-kill shelter with just one day left before his deadline, and he’s now ready for a fresh start in a safe, loving home. He was originally surrendered, along with several other dogs, when his previous family could no longer afford to provide proper care. He previously lived in a busy household with multiple adults, children, and other dogs, so he’s accustomed to an active environment. Lemon is very friendly with both people and other dogs, and he greets new friends with a happy, affectionate demeanor. He’s food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training enjoyable and rewarding. He already knows basic commands such as “sit” and “wait,” and he’s excited to continue learning. Lemon would do well in a variety of homes — whether with a family, a couple, or a single adopter — as long as he receives consistent love, attention, and guidance. He would thrive with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, continued training, and plenty of affection.
