Meet Tristan—an affectionate boy with a loyal heart. 💛
He loves the people he knows and trusts, but can be wary with new faces. He’s looking for someone patient and kind who understands that earning trust takes time.

Tristan knows his basic commands, walks great on leash, and appears housetrained. He takes treats gently and handles outings like a pro. He does well around other dogs on walks, and we’ll help with a thoughtful intro if there’s a pup at home.

At 3 years old, he’s ready for a dog-experienced adopter who can help him feel safe as he settles in. Tristan has so much love to give—he’s just waiting for his person. 💛

Meet Susy, our medium-haired black-and-white heart-stealer. 🖤🤍
She’s only been with us a few weeks, but she’s already won us over with her gentle purrs, soft cuddle requests, and expert biscuit-making skills. She’s young, sweet, and ready to love.

If you’re looking for a cozy companion to brighten your days, Susy would love to say hello. 🐾✨

Meet Pudgy — a marshmallow-soft good boy with light brown freckles and a whole lot of charm. 🤍🤎

Once this sweet 4-year-old mixed breed decides you’re his person, he’s all in: affectionate, loyal, and absolutely thrilled to be your everyday adventure buddy. He loves his walks, cruises in the car like a pro, and shows off his excellent leash manners wherever he goes.

Pudgy also enjoys the company of female dogs and would be happy with a confident canine friend — or a patient adopter who appreciates a pup with a thoughtful approach to new people.

Who knew formalwear came with this much personality? 🖤🤍

✨ Spirit – A grey-and-white chatterbox with a pink nose and a whole lot of charm. Friendly, playful, and always ready to purr once she’s settled in.

✨ Chevron – The soft-hearted shy guy. With a little patience (and maybe a treat or two), his sweet, curious side shines through beautifully.

✨ Smart Man – Our dapper gentleman. He starts out shy, but once he decides you’re worthy, he’s all about the chin scratches and attention. Maybe you will unlock his mysterious purr.

All three are fully suited up in their tuxedo best and ready to meet you. 🖤🤍
