Paws, claws, and costume flaws! 🦇🐾 Our little ghouls were troopers during their Halloween photo shoots … ok most were (even if a few side-eyes were thrown).

Their only trick? Trying to steal your heart. Their ultimate treat? A couch of their own. 🧡 Ready to add a little magic (and a lot of love) to your life? Come meet your match! 🎃✨

🖤 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒍, 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌, 𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 & 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔: 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑻𝑶𝑩𝒀! 🕺✨
If you love tall, dark, handsome and guaranteed to make you laugh, look no further—𝑻𝑶𝑩𝒀 is your guy! 🌹✨

This 2-year-old, 45-50 lb Retriever/Shepherd/Border Collie mix (give or take a few breeds!) sports a gorgeous, glossy coat of wavy black fur and a personality that is 100% sunshine! ☀️ He showed up stray with a smaller doggy buddy and now 𝑻𝑶𝑩𝒀 patiently waits for his turn in the spotlight! 🎬

𝑻𝑶𝑩𝒀 proves that black dogs are anything but plain—especially with a hilarious party trick up his sleeve! Get him hyped for treats with a little eye contact and pep-talk, and he does the cutest little "air snap," happily clicking his teeth together like a little pair of wooden castanets, as if he is trying to talk! 🥢🐶🎶 Toby notes:

🐶 𝘿𝙤𝙜-𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚: Dog-friendly, playful—loves making new canine friends! 🎾
🏠 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚-𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 & 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚: "Appears" to be potty trained, walks great on leash! 🦮
🎒 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙮 𝙎𝙞𝙯𝙚: At 45-50 lbs, he’s perfect for hiking trails, patio hangouts, or co-piloting road trips. 🚗💨
💕 𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚-𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: Loves everyone and radiates pure, happy energy.
🐱 𝘾𝙖𝙩 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙨: Barks at kitties from a safe distance, so further testing is needed to see if he can coexist with a brave feline!

Come meet 𝑻𝑶𝑩𝒀, the handsome, funny, teeth-clicking gentleman waiting at the shelter—he might be the perfect sidekick you need! 🌾💙

🎃🍂 Pumpkin spice, everything nice, and a tiny Chiweenie with a VERY questionable attitude! 👑

Meet Guido, a 7-month-old Chiweenie with a handsome little smirk and an ego bigger than the pumpkin patch! 😏🤣
According to his foster family, the power has gone straight to his head. He's convinced he's royalty, and his foster family? Merely unpaid servants. 😂👑

🍁 Let's rake through some of Guido's finer qualities!
🎃 Potty training: Making great progress! Occasional accidents still happen, but even the prettiest pumpkins have imperfections.
🍂 Leash walking: Does well with encouragement. Sometimes his royal highness needs reminding that his legs actually work.
🎃 Crate/playpen training: Used to both! He may initially file a few vocal complaints before settling down. Management has learned to ignore his one-star Yelp reviews. ⭐😂
🦴 Favorite activities: Cuddling, napping, enjoying his impressive collection of chew bones, and occasionally bursting into a case of the zoomies! He fully expects his future family to maintain his current luxury accommodations.
💕 Personality: Sweet, affectionate, hilarious, a little dramatic, and full of character!

👑 Now, about finding this pumpkin his own patch...
✅ Single-dog home HEAVILY preferred! While Guido has become more tolerant of other dogs in certain situations, he's still a firm believer that life is better when you're the one and only. He'd much rather be the sole recipient of your love, attention, and, of course, the royal treatment. Sharing his throne simply isn't his idea of happily ever after! 😂
✅ Patient, committed adopter! Guido is still very much a puppy who needs continued potty training, basic manners, leash practice, and socialization.
❤️ Due to some of Guido's unique little quirks, we are being extra thorough when reviewing applications to ensure we find the best possible match for both Guido and his future family. We want his next kingdom to be his FOREVER kingdom!

Guido is currently thriving in FOSTER CARE, but he's ready for a permanent home where he can be spoiled, cherished, and loved for the rest of his life! 🧡
👑 If you're looking for a tiny, slightly dramatic, ridiculously adorable pumpkin who will happily accept your lifelong servitude, Guido is accepting applications for his permanent staff! 🤣

🍂 PLEASE SHARE! Somewhere out there is someone whose missing a Chiweenie with a handsome smirk, a chew-bone addiction, and a royal attitude. Let's help Guido find his perfect pumpkin patch! 🎃❤️

💕 Ultimate Sidekick: Loyal, affectionate and happiest whenever she’s right by your side.
