Kringle was rescued from the shelter just before the holiday season began, with a matted coat and a need for love. We promised to give him the TLC he needed and whisked him to the groomer who gave him a brand new ‘do! Kringle weighs 11 pounds and has a gorgeous non-shedding coat. He will require regular grooming to ensure his coat stays fluffy and fabulous. Ready for some Christmas in January? Adopt Kringle!      Kringle is the happiest and most amazing dog on the planet. From his happy little dances to his love of snuggles, he lives every day to the fullest and brings light and laughter to every room he enters. Kringle loves all the finest things in life and discovered the couch quickly, especially the part where all the soft blankets are piled up. He just wants to be near his humans and show you how amazing he is. Kringle is super smart and picks up on things quickly, which makes him an amazing buddy for potential ongoing training. It’s hard to believe he’s an “older” pup because he loves to play and show off uis zoomies. Kringle loves his plush toys and is always down for a game of fetch or his favorite “flinging himself into the beanbag chair”. You will gain a new appreciation for the little things in life with how Kringle sees the world. That’s his promise to his new family!  Kringle wakes up around 8 AM… but he is happy to sleep in as late as you’ll let him! He does his happy dance when you come to let him out of his crate and lays down for a belly rub. He goes out first thing to potty and then comes inside for a nibble of breakfast (but he’s more of a brunch guy). Kringle spends his days romping around the backyard, cuddling on the couch with his humans, and generally being the best dog in the entire world! He gets dinner around 5:30 PM and eats at the same time as his humans, which he loves. For the rest of the evening, Kringle curls up on the couch and soaks up all the belly rubs and snuggles he can. He goes out one more time to potty before heading to bed around 10 PM.  Kringle has lived with other dogs and loves them! He has met humans from young to old and charmed them all from minute one. Kringle prefers backyard time but walks well when he goes out. He loves the car as well so he would be an amazing addition to any adventure! Whoever is lucky enough to adopt him will be the luckiest family in the entire universe!      Kringle is an option for any home, regardless of prior experience. Kids should be over the age of 5.January 9, 2025, 3:02 am

Paloma’s former home contacted us when they fell on hard times and were unable to afford veterinary care for her. She had been peeing blood and x-rays revealed a bladder stone the size of an egg! We were able to get her emergency surgery and she is now on the mend. She came to us full of mats, so we got her all cleaned up, and although her fur is short now, it will grow back in lush and beautiful. Paloma weighs 14 pounds and has a non-shedding type of coat that makes her an option for those with allergies, and she will require regular grooming every 6 weeks or so so she never ends up matted and in pain again! Interested homes should be ready to discuss her continued medical care as well. This little lady has been through so much but she knows it will be worth it once she meets you!    Paloma is a fabulously cuddly gal who adores her people above all else. While our girl can be a bit quiet around new people, she comes to life when she sees those that she loves, breaking out her happy little dance as her paws tap across the floor. Paloma would love a home where her human is home for most of the day, as she’s always down for snuggles and kisses. If your dream of a perfect evening is a movie marathon over a shared bowl of popcorn, Paloma is your new bestie! She could even help you prepare a fabulous spread for dinner… as long as you slip her some chicken! Paloma also loves being rubbed behind the ears as her eyes blink close. Our girl deserves only the best. With her ever-growing collection of sweaters and bows, Paloma will rival even the most famous models as she hits the runway.  Paloma wakes up at 8 AM and rolls onto her belly for cuddles right away. She has her morning meal and then heads out into the yard for some sunbathing. Once she’s had her fill, she comes back inside for a nap before lunch. She gets a short walk in the afternoon before spending some time on her foster mom’s lap. She has dinner at 6 PM before she spends the rest of her evening lounging on the couch until she’s ready for bed.  Paloma lives with several small dogs and gets along well with all of them. She is a little hesitant when meeting new people but if she is given the chance to settle in she is set! Paloma can’t wait to find her lucky family to show her the best pampered life ever!     Paloma is only an option for homes with prior dog owning experience who are prepared to handle her ongoing care. Kids should be over the age of 9.January 9, 2025, 3:02 am

She also loves snuggling on the couch and watching TV once she’s ready for a break. Biscotti is a true ambassador for all dog kind, as she effortlessly charms everyone she meets with a single flutter of her eyelashes that frame her puppy dog eyes. She will be an amazing adventure companion for her forever family as her legs continue to grow and she explores more of the world outside her puppy pen. We have no doubt that she will have a mental map of all the best pup cup spots on her local routes in no time, so get ready to pamper this princess like she deserves! Biscotti wakes up around 8 AM ready to start her day and get her cuddles! She has breakfast before heading outside for morning zoomies with her toys. She loves playing fetch so that amuses her until she is ready for her morning nap. Once she wakes up, she trots along after her foster mom throughout the house and yard. She is always down for playtime or cuddles which makes her the dream puppy! She has lunch at noon and then dinner around 6 PM. In the evening, Biscotti plays with the resident cat and dog until she starts to wind down from an exciting day of being an adorable puppy. She goes out for one final potty trip and then goes into her crate around 11 PM for the night. Biscotti lives with two resident dogs and a resident cat. She is best friends with them and loves her wrestling sessions with the kitty. Biscotti’s forever home should be prepared to continue her training and socialization to ensure she grows up as fabulously as possible.
