Patrick loves hard once you are his person! He is crate trained, housebroken and good with other dogs. New people are the scary thing for him. Someone willing to be patient has to be out there for him.

Please share.

Ollie is officially used to his cone of shame and wears it like a pro! 😆

This sweet boy can be a little timid when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his loving personality starts to shine. He just needs a little patience and time to warm up.

We’ve also discovered that despite his size, Ollie takes his job as home security very seriously! 🏡 He’ll guard the house like a Doberman and is always quick to let you know when someone is around.

Ollie has completed all of his vetting and is ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you and help keep watch over the house, Ollie might be your perfect match! ❤️

🎉 Guinea Update!! 🎉

Today was the day we have been anxiously awaiting — Guinea’s appointment with the cardiologist at MedVet for a second opinion.

We are beyond thankful for the excellent care they provided and for Dr. A. After re-checking his echocardiogram, they found that Guinea does NOT have any pulmonic stenosis! ❤️

The small hole in his heart is still present, but the good news is that it can close on its own anytime up until he is about 3 years old. Even if it doesn’t close completely, the cardiologist feels he has a very good chance of living a normal life without any issues related to it.

Needless to say, we are absolutely thrilled with this news! 🥰

Thank you to everyone who has shared our posts, sent prayers, donated, and supported Guinea along the way. Your kindness and support make it possible for us to help dogs like him get the care they need. We couldn’t do this without our amazing village, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️🐾

Happy Father’s Day!! We wish you all the best day ever!

🐾 The 3-3-3 Rule: Giving Your New Dog Time to Adjust 🐾

One of the most important things to remember when bringing home a new dog is that they need time to decompress and learn that they are safe. Whether your new family member is a puppy or an adult dog, adjustment doesn’t happen overnight.

💚💙 3 Days – Your dog may be overwhelmed, nervous, scared, or unsure. They may not eat much, may sleep a lot, or may seem withdrawn. Some dogs may even appear overly excited. This is normal as they take in all the new sights, sounds, and routines.

💚💙 3 Weeks – Your dog is beginning to settle in and learn your schedule. They may start showing more of their true personality. This is often when behavior challenges may surface because they are becoming more comfortable.

💚💙 3 Months – Your dog has usually developed trust, understands the routine, and truly feels like part of the family. By this point, many dogs have formed a strong bond with their people and feel secure in their new home.

🐶 Please remember: every dog is different. Some adjust quickly, while others need more time. Patience, consistency, and understanding go a long way in helping a dog transition successfully.

If you’ve recently adopted, don’t be discouraged if things aren’t perfect right away. Give your new best friend the gift of time, and you’ll be amazed at the bond that develops. 💚💙

Meet adorable, sweet, silly, fun, quirky Ollie! He’s also known as Oliver, Ollie Ollie Ollie, and Little Bit.

Ollie is one of the sweetest chihuahua/pomeranian mixes you will ever meet…after he warms up to you and realizes he can trust you. See, Ollie may not have the best origin story. He was likely kept in a cage most of the time as his paws and fur were stained yellow. He’s fearful of new people at first, but if you give him a chance, after 2-3 days, he will be your best friend, your protector, and your shadow. When Ollie loves, he loves fiercely!

Ollie also loves to play with other dogs. He needs a dog who will play with him, unlike his foster siblings who are old and ignore him. He gets so sad not at this rejection, but he will go back 3 minutes later to try to play with them again! He loves toys and tennis balls, walking around and sniffing the yard, and snuggling next to his person.

Ollie will need a patient adopter. He I will need continued patience with becoming fully potty trained. He loves treats and praise, so he is trainable!

Ollie will willingly go into his crate for bedtime. He’d rather be right next to his person, but he doesn’t complain about the crate.

Ollie needs someone to love him as much as he will love them! This sweetie deserves to be spoiled from here on out.

You must submit an application to set up a meet and greet.
