🐾 Meet Paisley!
(Yes, like the pattern—because this girl is one-of-a-kind!)

This gorgeous, 1-year-old cuddle bug is the perfect mix of zoomie queen and professional couch potato. At around 35 pounds full grown, Paisley is bursting with love, energy, and personality!

💫 Paisley’s Perks:
🐾 Kennel trained-ish – She can go in the kennel… but let’s be real—Paisley would rather be snuggled on the couch beside you (or on top of you 💕).
🐾 Dog-friendly – She follows her older foster dog sibling around and takes correction like a champ (yes, she tries to herd them, but only because she cares).
🐾 Kid-approved – She’s been great with kids as young as 3!
🐾 Car rides? Yes please 🚗
🐾 Leash skills? She’s attentive and doesn’t pull—just needs a little polishing.
🐾 Toys? She’s still figuring them out! Life on the streets didn’t include fetch lessons.
🐾 Commands? Not yet, but she’s smart and eager to learn.
🐾 Snuggle level? 10/10. If she could climb into your soul, she absolutely would. 🥹

⚡ Energy Level: HIGH
She’s a classic herding girl—zippy, alert, and ready to follow your every move… but when things settle down, she melts into a snuggly puddle of fluff. She may gently herd you through doorways (like a good little worker pup!).

💖 Paisley is the full package. She’s affectionate, a little goofy, super loyal, and just discovering what it means to be part of a real family. She’s still a puppy at heart, and just needs someone who will love her through the learning curve.

If you’re looking for a velcro dog who will make every day brighter, Paisley is your girl. 🐶🌼

🚨 EMERGENCY ADOPTERS NEEDED! 🚨
These 3 beautiful terrier mix pups—Lulu, Piper, and their sibling—are in desperate need of safe, loving homes.

🏡 We are looking for:
✅ permanent adopters

✅ People who are ready to help these pups learn and thrive

🐾 Quick Details:
🖤 Terrier mixes
👧 Female
🍼 4 months old
🐶 Dog-friendly

🥞 Meet Pancake! 🥞
Because every home needs a little more sweetness!

This short-stack sweetheart just arrived, and she’s already making hearts melt! Pancake is a friendly, happy-go-lucky girl who’s great with kids and dogs—she’s been chasing around the yard with her tiny humans (ages 4 & 5!) and getting along great with her schnauzer foster siblings. 🧒🐶💕

She may come off a bit shy at first, but she warms up quickly and loves to be part of the fun. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or lounging nearby, Pancake is just happy to be included.

⚠️ Important note: Pancake pulled a fast one on us—she broke through the door and turned it into a 45-minute game of chase. 🏃‍♀️🐾 For her safety, she’ll need to be in a home with a secure fence or kept strictly indoors unless leashed. That said… she doesn’t really love the outdoors anyway. 😂 She’d rather be inside soaking up attention and lounging comfortably.

🍳 What we know so far:
✨ Dog-friendly
✨ Kid-approved
✨ Curious and sweet
✨ Escape artist in training (but not an outdoor enthusiast!)
✨ A little shy, but warms up quickly
✨ Adorable… obviously 😍

Pancake is the perfect mix of sugar and sass and is ready to flip your world right-side up! 🐾
