Mardi's day is not complete without her beloved squeaky, stuffy toys, which she gleefully tosses around while reveling in the joy of playtime. If given a chance, she just might de-stuff those squeaky toys! In between her playful antics, she cherishes moments of affection when she nudges your hand for gentle pets. What really sets Mardi apart is her zest for learning new tricks (and earning treats!). In just three days, she mastered ques like sit, shake, touch, and place, showcasing her exceptional learning abilities. Her motivation to learn makes her an ideal companion for anyone eager to spend time bonding with her and teaching her fun, new tricks. Whether she's walking gently on a leash or demonstrating her impressive repertoire of tricks, Mardi strikes the perfect balance between independence and affection. Smart, sweet with a slightly timid demeanor, Mardi is ready to brighten the life of her forever family.

We love Waylon and think you will too! He is as fun-loving as they come.

His playful spirit shines brightest when he's jumping high in the air to catch balls, a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter. For a chunky guy, he's very athletic! One of Waylon's favorite pastimes is learning new tricks, especially when there are treats involved-he's always eager to show off his latest skills with a wagging tail and a big grin. He will be a fun dog to teach new tricks to. After a little exercise, Waylon is ready to settle in for some lovin'. He is very sweet and affectionate with his human friends, leaning in close for pets and sharing kisses. His previous owners stated that Waylon loves car rides and is house trained.
