Meet Koko – Your Adventure-Loving Sidekick! Personality: Ready to explore!Koko may be 8, but don’t let that fool you—he’s still got plenty of pep in his step and a love for adventure that never quits. Whether it’s a hike in the woods or a stroll around the neighborhood, Koko is your ideal active companion who enjoys every moment on the move but without all the crazy puppy antics.He knows his sit and takes treats like the gentleman he is, always polite and ready to please. He does tend to pull a bit on leash, so a training class would be a great way for him and his person to bond and improve those walking manners.Koko is a happy, fun-loving dog who thrives when he gets to run and play. If you’re looking for a loyal hiking buddy who’s past the wild puppy stage but still full of energy and joy, Koko might be your perfect match!Fun Fact:Koko’s favorite workout? A sprint chase followed by the world’s most dramatic belly flop—because why not end with style?Adoption fees are currently waived! All pets are spay/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P9Wv6z2JOnw

Story
Meet Joker — The Life of the Paw-ty!This fun-loving girl had a big weekend tagging along to pickleball, meeting tons of new friends (including kids 5–12), and exploring a coffee shop and farmers market like a pro! She’s house-trained, great on walks (sniffing is her passion), loves toys, fetch, and knows “sit.” Joker is also a cuddle queen who’ll let you know when it’s time for pets, and she does great in the bath. She’s not a fan of the kennel, but she’s perfectly behaved when left around the house — no chewing, no chaos, just love. Joker gets along well with her foster sister Ginger, though she’s happy to entertain herself with a tennis ball. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, low-drama pup who’ll keep you smiling, Joker’s your girl!
