Story
Coco is a happy-go-lucky puppy with a playful personality and just a tiny mischievous streak! She absolutely loves toys, especially if they're someone else's. While her sister is happy to share, Coco has decided that every toy belongs to her, and she'll happily steal them all just to keep the fun going! She loves racing around the yard, playing chase, and making everyone laugh with her silly antics. When playtime is over, Coco is more than ready to settle in for some snuggles with her favorite people. Coco is currently working on potty training and is learning her daily routine like a champ. She's a smart girl with the sweetest smile, soulful brown eyes, and so much love to give. Whether you're looking for an adventure buddy or a cuddle companion, Coco is ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of puppy kisses to her forever family.

Story
Boo is the definition of sweet and gentle. This lovable pup has a heart as big as her beautiful brown eyes and is happiest when she's playing, cuddling, or simply spending time with her people. She loves toys and is such a sweetheart that she'll even let her sister "borrow" them, although Coco tends to forget to give them back! Boo takes it all in stride and would much rather keep the fun going by chasing her sister around the yard or enjoying a game together. Boo is working hard on potty training and is quickly learning her daily routine. She's a smart little girl with an adorable smile, a loving personality, and an easygoing nature that makes her a joy to be around. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who is playful, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle, Boo is waiting to meet you. She can't wait to find a family to call her very own.

Story
MEET RACHEL! Rachel just arrived this week, and this sweet little girl is already showing us what an absolute gem she is! DOB: 5/21/26 Breed: Maybe Lab? Maybe Pittie? Probably a mix of something adorable! Your guess is as good as ours. Adoption Fee: $250 Rachel is an absolute love. She’s super sweet, incredibly gentle, and loves curling up in your lap for snuggles. But don’t mistake her cuddly side for being a Velcro puppy! Rachel is also wonderfully independent and has no problem heading outside on her own or finding herself a quiet spot to relax. For a puppy who has only been in her foster home a short time, she’s already impressing everyone: Figured out the dog door right away Already pretty good with “sit” and coming when called Let her foster clip her nails without a problem Eats nicely without scarfing her food Has shown no food guarding Loves a good lap snuggle but is happy doing her own thing, too We really aren’t sure what Rachel’s breed mix is. Lab? Pittie? A little of both? Something else entirely? Breed is simply our best guess, and Rachel isn’t giving up her family tree anytime soon. What we do know is that she is one seriously sweet little pup. Rachel’s $250 adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, UTD vaccines, and current vet check. She is too young for a heartworm test.

THE FRIENDS PUPPIES ARE READY FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES! Could we BE any more excited to introduce Chandler, Phoebe & Monica?! These adorable pups are siblings to Rachel, who we recently introduced, and now it’s their turn to find their forever families! Each puppy is looking for a separate adoptive home where they can grow up spoiled and loved. Chandler • Phoebe • Monica DOB: 5/21/2026 Currently around 20–25 lbs Expected to be medium to medium/large dogs when fully grown Breed: Their paperwork says Lab/Pointer/Great Pyrenees mix, but that’s truly just a guess! They’re still young puppies with plenty of learning, growing, playing and snuggling ahead of them. They’ll need families ready to continue working on potty training, manners and socialization while showing them just how good the spoiled-dog life can be. Adoption fee: $250 eachIncludes spay/neuter, microchip, UTD vaccines and a current vet check. Chandler, Phoebe & Monica will be adopted separately. Already preapproved?
