🐾 Meet Nuget! 🐾

Nuget is a 5-year-old male Chihuahua mix, possibly with a little Corgi, weighing 17 pounds. This handsome boy is affectionate, playful, and ready to be someone’s favorite cuddle buddy. 💙

Nuget loves being with his people, whether that means going for a walk, playing in the yard, or curling up on the couch. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys making new friends, both canine and human.

He is carrying a few extra pounds and would benefit from an active routine to help him slim down and feel his best. Nuget is not yet potty trained, so he will need patience and consistency as he learns.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will keep you smiling and make sure your lap never gets cold, Nuget may be your perfect match. 🐶

Meet Blanco! 🐾

Blanco is a 1-year-old, 12-pound bundle of energy, curiosity, and love. This handsome little guy loves running outside, playing with his dog friends, and exploring the world around him. He is active, playful, and ready for a family that will give him structure, patience, and plenty of fun.

Blanco will need a secure yard with a high fence, because this athletic boy is an impressive jumper and may try to launch himself toward adventure if something catches his eye. He is not a big fan of his crate at first, but once settled, he relaxes and rests like a good boy.

If you are looking for a lively, lovable companion with lots of personality, Blanco may be your perfect match. 💙

🌞 Meet Finnelly! 🌞

Finnelly is a sweet 9-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua who has fully embraced the retirement lifestyle and is looking for a peaceful forever home to enjoy his golden years.

This handsome senior loves the simple things in life—finding the perfect sunbeam, curling up in a cozy bed, and spending quiet time with his favorite people. High-energy adventures aren't really his style. Finnelly prefers relaxing days, comfortable naps, and enjoying life at his own pace.

Finnelly is dog-friendly and can happily share his home with other respectful dogs who understand that he appreciates his personal space. He would thrive in a calm, low-key household that values companionship, comfort, and quiet moments.

If you're looking for a lovable, low-maintenance companion to keep you company while you relax, Finnelly may be the perfect match for you.

Meet Bugz! 🐾

Bugz is a resilient little guy with a tender heart and a big hope for a fresh start. At 5 years old and 14 pounds, he has already been through more than a little dog should, and now he is looking for a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe.

Bugz is shy by nature and may try to hide when things feel overwhelming. What he needs most is a patient adopter who will give him time, space, and gentle encouragement as he learns that the world can be kind. He is also learning to walk on leash, one brave little step at a time. 💛

This sweet street survivor is not looking for a busy spotlight. He is looking for a quiet hero with a soft place to land and a heart big enough to let him blossom at his own pace.

🐾 Meet Roman! 🐾

Roman is a handsome 4-year-old Poodle mix weighing 16 pounds. With his soft white curls, adorable black ears, and freshly groomed look, this sweet boy is ready to charm his way into a forever home. 💙

Roman has wonderful manners and an affectionate, happy personality. He loves spending time with his people, whether that means going for a walk, riding in the car, playing, or snuggling up at the end of the day. He also gets along well with other dogs and would love an active family, preferably with another friendly dog to play with.

Roman is potty trained, uses a doggie door, and prefers to sleep close to his favorite person at night. He has a great appetite and never says no to a tasty treat. It is unknown how he does with cats or children.

Roman is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his next chapter.

🐾 Meet Champagne! 🐾

Champagne is a 10-year-old senior sweetheart weighing about 9 pounds, and she is looking for a peaceful forever home to share her golden years. 💕

This mellow little lady enjoys quiet days, warm laps, gentle cuddles, short walks, trips to the dog park, sunning in the yard, and spending time near her favorite people. She loves her independence, but she also has a heart full of love for the people she trusts.

Champagne is housetrained, uses the magnetic screen door, and will let you know she needs to go out by pacing. She can be sassy when new people come to the door and is not a fan of big dogs, so she would do best in a calm home with no large dogs. Another small, older, quiet dog would be fine. Calm, respectful kids may be okay, but younger children are not ideal.

Champagne is microchipped, vaccinated, sterilized, and recently had dental care.

Adoption fee is sponsored by Perfection Honda. ❤️

Meet Salem! 🐾

Salem is a 13-year-old terrier weighing 27 pounds, and he is living proof that age is just a number. This sweet senior may have had a rough start, but his soft soul and loving heart are still very much ready for a fresh chapter.

Salem can be shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, his walls begin to melt away. With patience and kindness, he becomes a deeply affectionate and loyal companion who wants to be close to his people. 💛

He is looking for a calm, understanding forever home where he can adjust at his own pace and feel secure. A family with a secure yard for morning runs and plenty of love to give would be just what this special boy needs.

Adoption fee: $100

Meet Luke! 🐾

Luke is a handsome, pint-sized Jack Russell with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people. At 5 years old and 13 pounds, he is the perfect little companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend who wants to be close.

Luke is a true cuddle bug and absolutely loves joining his humans on the bed. He is smart, treat-motivated, and food is definitely the way to his heart, which makes bonding and continued training fun and rewarding. 🦴

He is currently learning to walk nicely on leash and will just need a little continued guidance as he builds confidence on his outdoor adventures. What Luke wants most is a loving forever home where he can get lots of attention, tasty treats, and a warm spot by your side.

Meet Rambo! 🐾

Rambo may be small in size, but this brave little Chihuahua has a heart full of courage. At just 2 years old and 8 pounds, he is learning every day that life can be safe, loving, and full of second chances.

Rambo is a sensitive soul who takes his time getting to know new people. When things feel overwhelming, he finds comfort in his crate where he can quietly watch the world go by. He is not looking for a busy lifestyle or a home filled with constant activity. Instead, he dreams of a calm, patient family that will let him move at his own pace and celebrate each small victory along the way. ❤️

With love, understanding, and a little patience, Rambo's confidence continues to grow. The adopter who opens their heart to this special boy will discover a loyal companion who simply wants to feel safe and loved.

If you're looking for a gentle little shadow who will reward your kindness with quiet devotion, Rambo may be the perfect match for you.

Meet Flacco! 🐾

Flacco is a 6-year-old, 6-pound snuggle bug wrapped in the tiniest, sweetest package. This gentle little soul is shy at first and is looking for a quiet home where he can feel safe, cherished, and completely loved.

Flacco’s favorite things are simple and precious: being held like a baby, cuddling close, and burrowing under soft blankets. He enjoys going outside just long enough for a quick potty break, then he is ready to run right back inside to his cozy spot.

This little guy is not looking for big adventures or a busy lifestyle. He is looking for a peaceful forever home with someone who will adore him, cuddle him, and let him be the tender little companion he is. If your perfect day includes blankets, movies, and a tiny pup tucked safely in your arms, Flacco may be your perfect match. ❤️
