Story
Meet Kuno, a gentle and loving 6-year-old mixed breed who is ready to settle into a home where he can cozy up and enjoy his golden years. Originally from out of state, Kuno is looking for a second chance at a life filled with love, comfort, and companionship. With his calm demeanor and sweet nature, Kuno is the perfect companion for someone looking for a laid-back, loyal friend to share their life with. Kuno has a gentle soul and thrives in an environment where he can feel safe, secure, and loved. He enjoys quiet moments and is happiest when he's curled up beside you, soaking in all the affection you have to offer. Kuno will need a chicken-free diet, and our staff is more than happy to explain the details and ensure a smooth transition to his new home. If you're looking for a loving companion who is ready to be pampered during his golden years, Kuno is the perfect match. He’s looking for a family that will provide him with the second chance he truly deserves, offering him a lifetime of love and care. With a heart full of gratitude, Kuno is eager to become a loyal member of your family, ready to give back the love and affection you offer him. Dog Day Out Review: "I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Kuno on a Dog Day Out, and he was such a fun companion! He was excited to go on a walk, he needs a little help with leash manners—he gets playful and tries to chew the leash when he’s really excited. But after just 30 minutes of trying to work on it with him, he was already starting to get the hang of it. He’s smart and very trainable! Kuno is absolutely amazing in the car. He hopped right in on his own, then sat quietly or laid down for a nap. He clearly enjoys the peace and quiet and seems he would thrive in a home where he can relax and feel safe. If anyone is looking to foster or adopt, Kuno is so deserving of love and a cozy place to call home. If I wasn’t already fostering I would love to help him!"

Story
Ruby is such a good girl! She is great with dogs, cats, kids, and even ferrets! She was recently surrendered due to housing challenges and is again searching for her forever home. Ruby adores her people and is determined to sneak in as many kisses as she can—so you better watch out! She loves to jump up (and, boy, can she jump!) to say hi and give you a kiss. She is high energy and still needs some training to learn not to jump, but she learns fast and is treat-motivated! She also seems to think she's a lap dog and will try to hop up for a snuggle! Ruby does need more training when it comes to being left home alone. She is crate-trained and does best in a crate when left alone. Otherwise, she may chew things up or go to the bathroom inside. She may do best in a home where people are home most of the time, and with time, we believe she can grow out of these behaviors, given proper training. Kids: Around kids, Ruby is gentle, calm, and sweet. It’s clear she’s been around them for most of her life, as she is unfazed by any jumping, squealing, or other unpredictable movements or sounds. Her previous owner stated that their toddler and Ruby would even sleep together. Dogs: Ruby does great! She does, however, get a little protective of her food and should be separated when eating around other dogs. Her previous owners said she was easy to redirect so this behavior may go away with training. Cats: Ruby adores cats—even when they don’t seem to like her back! She will cuddle and kiss them if they let her! Other animals: Ruby’s previous family mentioned that she loves ferrets, as well! Ruby is the sweetest girl. Her world turned upside down when she was returned, and we could tell she was confused and depressed. With time, she’s been getting so much better, and we can see the light come back into her eyes again. She is a happy, loveable girl, with so much love to give, she can’t contain it all! If you’re looking for a companion that will love you unconditionally, Ruby is your girl.

🩶 The Taylor Swift Era Pack: 12 Micropittie & Bulldog Mixes Looking for Their Forever Homes 🩶 Transferred from Chicago Animal Care and Control, these 12 small-but-mighty dogs survived a hoarding situation and are now stepping into their sparkle era. Each one is about 2–3 years old, full of sweetness, and ready to trade fear for friendship, and confinement for cuddles. Like Taylor Swift’s albums, every dog here tells a story of resilience, reinvention, and love. 🐾 A Note About Hoarding Case Dogs 🐾 These pups often come from environments where human kindness was rare and routine didn’t exist. That means the world can feel new and a little big at first — but with gentle guidance, they open up in the most beautiful ways. Expect slow blinks that turn into tail wags, tentative touches that become full-body wiggles, and hearts that will love you endlessly once they trust you. 🎶 Meet the Pack 🎶 1. Taylor Swift (female) 🌸 The namesake — classic, charming, and ready to begin again. Sweet, sincere, and endlessly loving, Taylor has that wholesome “girl next door” energy. She’s curious about the world and eager to please. Personality: Playful, affectionate, and the perfect first chapter to your love story. 2. Fearless (female) 💛 Courage in a compact package. Fearless has the heart of a dreamer — she’s learning to trust fast and greet each new day with hope. Personality: Energetic, friendly, loves gentle praise and playtime. 3. Speak Now (female) 💜 Soft-spoken at first, but full of surprises once she finds her voice. Speak Now warms up slowly, but when she loves you, she really loves you. Personality: Sweet, loyal, expressive — a listener who’s also ready to sing her own story. 4. Red (male) ❤️ Passionate, goofy, and full of heart. Red wears his emotions on his sleeve — one minute zoomies, the next minute full-body hugs. Personality: Enthusiastic, snuggly, and loves people with his whole heart. 5. 1989 (female) 💎 The ultimate pop star energy. 1989 is confident, outgoing, and totally ready for her city walks and coffee shop cameos. Personality: Social, sassy, and sweet — she’s living her best main-character life. 6. Reputation (male) 🖤 Tough on the outside, soft on the inside. Reputation might seem cool and mysterious, but behind that confident face is the biggest cuddlebug you’ll ever meet. Personality: Loyal, goofy, brave — the definition of a comeback story. 7. Lover (female) 💗 The hopeless romantic. Lover is all heart — gentle, affectionate, and happiest when pressed against your side. Personality: Snuggly, soft, and ready to fill your home with love songs. 8. Folklore (male) 🌲 The quiet thinker with a poetic soul. Folklore is introspective and gentle. He prefers cozy evenings and soft voices. Personality: Calm, tender, and deeply loyal once he knows you’re his safe place. 9. Evermore (male) 🍂 An old soul with steady eyes and a big heart. Evermore is peaceful and grounding — the kind of dog who reminds you to breathe. Personality: Wise, affectionate, easygoing — perfect for a quiet, loving home. 10. Midnights (female) 💙 The mysterious dreamer. Midnights loves a cozy night in just as much as a moonlit walk. She’s equal parts playful and serene. Personality: Thoughtful, affectionate, and a little magical. 11. Tortured Poets Department (male) 🖋️ A soft-hearted soul with an artistic streak. This sensitive boy has been through a lot, but he’s ready to turn his pain into poetry — and his poetry into love. Personality: Sweet, soulful, thrives on patience and gentle affection. 12. The Life of a Showgirl (female) 💅 The diva with a heart of gold. A little glam, a little goofy, and totally irresistible — Showgirl knows she’s special, and she’ll make sure you do too. Personality: Confident, funny, affectionate — the life of every room she enters. Which era are you in?

Story
🍑 Quince | 2 Years Old | Pit Bull Mix Soft heart. Gentle soul. Certified shy girl. Quince may not be the first one to rush up for belly rubs, but give her a little time and a lot of kindness, and you’ll discover one of the sweetest, most loyal hearts you’ve ever met. This 2-year-old pit bull mix came to us as a stray, unsure of what to expect—but she’s slowly realizing that people can be pretty great (especially the ones with treats and soft voices). She’s got a calm, thoughtful presence and a face that looks like she’s always halfway through composing a love letter to you in her head. At first, she’s cautious—observing the world from a safe distance, taking things in—but once she feels safe? She melts. Quiet tail wags, gentle eye contact, the softest little lean into your legs—it’s all there, just waiting to blossom. Quince would thrive in a home with patient humans who understand that trust is earned and love grows slowly and deeply. She settles beautifully once she knows she’s safe and would love a cozy corner, a steady routine, and someone who doesn’t mind going at her pace. If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances, soft starts, and the magic of watching a nervous dog discover joy, Quince is waiting—tail tucked, eyes hopeful, heart open.
