Story
🌙💙Meet Teddy Oliver Moon (a.k.a. Ollie)!🌙💙 Teddy is a 90-pound bundle of love with the biggest head and the biggest heart you’ll ever meet. This gorgeous tricolor boy is playful, goofy, and so excited to show you just how happy he is, especially when toys are involved! His foster family loves him so much that everyone wanted to name him, so now he proudly goes by Teddy Oliver "Ollie" Moon because one name just isn’t enough for a dog this special. Teddy’s story hasn’t been easy. He was found tied up with another dog and sadly ended up on the euthanasia list at the shelter. His smaller companion was rescued first, and Teddy nearly lost his chance but thankfully, he’s now safe in a wonderful foster home where his true personality is shining through. Teddy is housebroken, crate-trained, good on walks, and great with other dogs. He’s friendly, affectionate, and always ready for fun. Because he’s a big, bouncy boy who can be a little jumpy when excited, we’re looking for an experienced home with older kids (just due to his size). We’ve seen no signs of aggression just lots of joy, energy, and love. This sweet, special boy deserves the forever family who will give him the second chance he almost didn’t get. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, goofy best friend who will fill your home with love and laughter, Teddy Oliver "Ollie" Moon! is your guy. 🐾 Reach out to learn more!

King might just be your perfect match. This soft, short, grey gentleman is about 6–8 years old and has truly mastered the art of lounging. His favorite pastime? Flattening himself like a little pancake as close to you as possible, preferably on top of you if you’re open to it! King may be deaf in one ear, but that doesn’t stop him from tuning in when it counts (especially if there’s food or the rustle of a leash involved). He’s got selective hearing down to a science and makes it work in the most charming way. He’s gentle and easygoing with other dogs, always eager to greet them on walks, and doesn’t pay much attention to smaller animals you might pass along the way. Despite his mostly mellow nature, he’ll surprise you with the cutest zoomies when excitement strikes, usually around mealtime or the promise of an outdoor adventure. King’s tiny little legs and signature sprawl are just part of his unique charm, but what really melts hearts is his love for a soft comfort blanket. He’ll carry it with him, curl up on it, and even suck on it like a little baby, it’s his happy place. If you’re ready to share your home (and your heart) with a sweet, soulful snuggler who will bring you calm, cuddles, and the occasional joy-sprint, King is ready for his home.
