Story
Meet Jovie! This 1-year old soft and sleek house panther beauty came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray. Jovie has a childlike innocence and sweet personality and like any great pit bull, is able to Bluetooth pair with you on an emotional level. She is a people-person and oozes sweetness and love from her entire being, craving attention and insisting on being near her people at all times. She is happiest when someone is petting her, loves to give kisses, and crawls right up for a full-frontal hug. If you are looking for an EXTREMELY affectionate dog who LOVES to be as close as humanly possible and will gaze longingly into your eyes searching for more connection, then Jovie is your girl! Jovie is appropriately energetic and playful for her young age, hops like a rabbit with excitement, and runs like a baby donkey (which is charming, yet gawky, all at the same time!). This shady lady has the SOFTEST espresso coat and the personality to match, and wags and wiggles when she meets new people…her entire body shakes and her butt wiggles nonstop with excitement. Jovie loves her canine foster brother (but says “nope” to cats), has sooo many dog friends, and has an energetic playstyle. She is great in the car and calm in the house. Pint-sized humans make her nervous, so a home without the little littles is a must. This sleek and beautiful house panther just needs a forever family to give her the life she deserves! Jovie’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who wants a dog that loves attention and is eager to freely give (and receive) love and affection. 2. A family willing to put time into continuing basic training since Jovie jumps up to seek affection and gets excited on walks. 3. A family who wants to be close to their pup and allows them to be near…always, which includes snuggling in bed and on the couch for a binge-watching session of, well, anything.April 17, 2024, 12:04 am

Story
Meet Winter (Winnie for short)! This 2-year old petite and unique red-merle beauty came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray. You can’t miss Winnie’s icicle eyes. In fact, she is vision impaired and will need 1-2 visits to the ophthalmologist every year to continue to monitor the condition of her eyes. But despite her limited vision, Winnie navigates the world with an endearing curiosity, using her other senses, like that perfect pink little nose, to take it all in. ♥ Despite her polar beauty, Winter has the warmest heart! In fact, with Winnie, you won’t mind the snow, the frigid temperatures, or the short days and long nights…just grab a fluffy blanket to settle in for a cuddle sesh! Because Winnie uses her mouth to feel out her environment, older or no kids would be best for this special girl. Winter’s top 3 priorities: A family who is willing to create consistent spaces and routines to make Winnie feel safe and at home. A family who is patient and kind and will allow Winnie to take her time really learning how to “dog”, including snuggling and cuddling. A family who is willing to take on her ongoing medical care, which includes 1-2 exams at a veterinary ophthalmologist every single year. April 17, 2024, 12:04 am

Story
Meet Cashew! We’re NUTS about this 1-year old teeny tiny goober who came to us after being abandoned by his owner. At only 25-lb, Cashew is the size of a bite-sized Snickers bar or a buttered popcorn jellybean, but more than makes up for it in loveable personality. We could stare into his soulful puppy eyes for days. And those ears…next level! He is said to be a pittie and pug mix, but to us he’s just the perfect blend of pup. Ever watch a squirrel frantically hide its nuts? There’s something comically relatable about it. Just as we stash away our favorite treats, these little critters squirrel away theirs. It reminds us of our own quirks, doesn’t it? And Cashew has his own quirks. Coming into our rescue after being juggled into multiple homes (through no fault of his own), Cashew needs a laid-back family who is patient and willing to go slow to create a safe environment. But it will be worth the effort! Cashew is shy but acclimates quickly with consistency, LOVES to work his brain and bond with obedience training, and has sooo much love to give. He quickly learns commands and focusing his brain helps him reset when he’s feeling uncomfortable. It feels good when something so ordinary surprises us in the most delightful ways and Cashew is no exception. It’s like the universe wanted to add a fun twist to our nut mix…and here he is! Cashew has really come out of his shell as an appropriately curious and energetic 1-year old who wants to spend time with his humans and 4-legged foster siblings. Other dogs give him confidence and he’s also great with cats. And this sweet miniature man curls up like a baby deer right beside his humans to snuggle, fitting his neck into the crook of yours for a perfect fit. He’ll Cashew Later (see what we did there?). Due to his size and lack of history, older kids would be best for this peanut M&M. Cashew’s top 3 priorities: 1. A patient and loving family willing to give Cashew the time he needs to come out of his shell. 2. A family willing to continue obedience training to bond with Cashew and give him a productive way to work his brain. 3. A family who loves to snuggle and will happily cozy up to Cashew on his terms to make him feel safe and loved.April 17, 2024, 12:04 am

He loves people and others dogs. he loves to get in closer and snuggle up close..he is the gentlest treat taker ever ..house trained. Good on leash. Just wants to be loved and around others..he'd be great as only dog or really great as a second dog..he could snuggle on couch all day or go for a hour hike or 40 min run early and then run around yard a couple of times for 10 min with toy ...Harold's perfect and he's been through so much and he is going to be someone's soul dog he can change their lives.
