Story
Meet Franky 🩵Franky is an adorable 9-month-old Yorkie Poo weighing around 12 pounds. This sweet little guy has been very loved, but unfortunately his owner experienced some medical issues and was no longer able to care for him.Franky is a friendly, happy pup who gets along well with other dogs. He loves spending time outside, especially when he can find a sunny spot to relax and sunbathe! His former family says he was fully potty trained, although he has had a few overnight accidents since coming into foster care. With so many changes in such a short period of time, Franky will need a patient family who can give him a little time to settle into his new routine.Franky previously lived with another Yorkie Poo and enjoys canine companionship, but we believe he can adjust to being adopted independently.Franky is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his forever home! 💙 please fill out an application to meet him!

Story
POV: You said you were just going to Target for one thing and came home with Peter Parker Peter Parker is READY for fall shopping with the girlies. Hit the Starbucks (or Dutch Bros) drive-thru and let’s get to shopping! He may be a little pumpkin spice at first.. a tiny bit spicy, a little suspicious, and not immediately convinced that you’re his new best friend. But underneath that attitude, he’s harmless. Once he realizes you come bearing snacks and love, he’s just a tiny Chihuahua looking for his person. Peter Parker is ready to find his fall shopping buddy. Who’s taking this little guy home? 🛍️🐾 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc9IlMzlBqTTpXA9n5-AGb7XoE2Ru0ypKCP1q3VjNRGWloOQ/viewform

Story
I got Diesel in 2016 when he was 6 months old in Boise, ID at the humane society. When I seen him it was instant love! Diesel is now 10 yrs old, still full of life and energy. I’m currently in the military stationed at Nellis AFB, NV. I just received moving orders to Korea and unfortunately cannot take him or my other dog with me. I don’t have any family or friends that can take in any pets. This truly breaks my heart. I just want him to go to a home he deserves, to someone who will love him more than I ever could.
