Story

COMING SOON: I'm a total bundle of fun and sweetness wrapped up in a majestic coat. Aren't I handsome? Where are my ladies at? I get along with other dogs and respectful kids, and I love meeting new people. I have some training under my belt, but I’d benefit from more—especially a routine and a watchful eye. Why the watchful eye? If you’re not paying attention, I might have a little accident on my way to the door, so keep an eye out for my famous pee-pee dance moves! I'm crate trained. I love going for runs and will even help hold my leash!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 9:13 am

Story

COMING SOON: Oh hey there, I'm basically the world's biggest, squishiest baby! Give me ALL the pets and attention—seriously, I will never say no! I'm a total goofball who loves bouncing around with my human, throwing my paws in the air like I just don't care! Crinkly foil toys? OBSESSED. Couch cuddles while binge-watching TV? Yes please! I'm super quiet (a gentleman, really) and I'll politely let you know when nature calls. Other pups? I'm SO down for playdates! I'm also a total softie around little human babies—gentle as can be. No rough stuff here—just shower me with love, toss me some good kibble, and I'm the happiest, wiggliest camper you ever did see!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 9:13 am

Story

COMING SOON: I'm the sweet, gentle soul who's been quietly living in my overachiever sister's shadow. I absolutely have a personality — it just takes me a moment to let my little light shine. I'm the definition of laid back, happy to float through life without a worry in the world. I'm housetrained, crate trained, and leash trained. My dream home is a cozy, relaxed place with a yard where I can stretch my legs, and a furry best friend to snuggle up with and wrestle in the sunshine.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 9:13 am

Story

COMING SOON: My pops is preparing for his heavenly journey and his last wish is for me to find a loving home. I've been living in the backyard with my Yorkie brother. We get along great! I'm submissive in play and know he's little. I'll need training in how to be an indoor dog. I'm very happy, goofy, and loving.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 9:13 am
