If you have not met Doja Dog, then you are missing out!

Playful, curious, and always up for a good time, Doja Dog is a happy-go-lucky pup who loves meeting new people, trying new things, and sniffing out the tastiest treats. After a fun-filled day, she’s all about curling up for a cozy nap on the couch.

This silly gal is looking for a family who’s as ready for adventure as they are for snuggles!

Everyone say hello to Donnie!

Donnie has spent 76 days looking for the perfect family... 💔 He was adopted a week ago, but returned just days later for being too excitable. Who can blame him though? After all the family hunting that has been done, he was so happy to think that he really had found his forever family to spend his life with! A family is somewhere out there for this sweet boy, we just have to find them!

Donnie has never met a stranger, and loves everyone that he meets! He'd be perfect for any family who is always up for an adventure and knows how to have a good time!
