🚨Talk about a glow-up!🚨

Meet the man, the myth, the mullet… ID # 811648!

This one-of-a-kind Cairn Terrier mix is about 3 years old, and let us tell you—he’s living proof that style can change your whole vibe.

When he first arrived, his coat was matted and painful. But after a little TLC, we’re proud to present: the most glorious mullet you’ve ever seen. Business in the front, paw-ty in the back!😉

But this guy isn’t just about the looks. He’s a fetching machine—literally. He’ll chase and return a ball until your arm gives out (but he won’t). And don’t even get us started on his fly-catching skills—Mr. Miyagi would bow down.

When meeting other furry pals-both Canine and Feline- this dude couldn’t care less. If you have a pooch of your own, bring them by for a meet and
greet to make sure they would do well together!

Want to meet the coolest dude of all time?
Come visit and see him in action! His adoption fee is just $50 and includes:
💉 Vaccinations
🪱 Deworming
🦟 Flea & tick treatment
🛜 Microchip
🩺 Wellness exam at our vet

📆Available for adoption on 7/30/2025.

Trust us, this legend won’t last long. Grab your chance to adopt the mullet master today!

ID #801901 - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 😊

07/18/2025

Available for adoption or rescue 🐾

Meet this sweet and sassy 12-year-old female Chihuahua (ID #810018) who’s simply looking for a soft lap and a quiet home to spend her golden years. She is in good health overall for her age, though a dental cleaning from a vet would help keep her comfortable and smiling. She’s a mellow little lady who enjoys lounging and taking things at her own pace. She coexists well with other dogs but mostly keeps to herself—she's the independent type who prefers calm companionship over playful antics. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance canine buddy, this girl might just be your perfect match. Help give this senior pup the loving retirement she deserves

She is already spayed and her adoption fee is $50 which includes: a wellness exam from our vet, vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick treatment, heartworm test and microchip.

Always free for a rescue to tag.

UPDATE: went to a rescue

This Chihuahua may be small in size, but he carries a lifetime of stories behind those soulful eyes. We estimate him to be around 10 years old, and although we don’t know much about his past, we do know one thing: he’s scared, and he shows it the only way he knows how-with distance, with warning, and sometimes with his teeth. He is looking for a quiet and compassionate home that will allow him to open up on his own timeline. This means, an exciting home filled with tiny kiddos and a lot of foot traffic would not be ideal for him.

He is not trusting yet, but in a loud and stressful shelter environment that’s understandable. We believe he would show his true personality in a stress-free, love-filled home.
His adoption fee is only $50 and includes vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick treatment, microchip, and a wellness exam.

If you’re looking for a project dog-the kind that won’t offer instant affection, but might one day gift you with quiet trust-he just might be your little masterpiece in the making.
