I'm Cocoa, a charming little guy at around 10 months old. I'm a handsome Chihuahua mix tipping the scales at 13 lbs, and I won't be growing much larger. I've been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated to keep me healthy and happy.

My journey has been a bit of a whirlwind. I found myself wandering as a stray until I landed at the doorstep of a kind elderly lady who took me in and showed me compassion by feeding me and giving me lots of love. It's because of her that I'm now on the lookout for my forever family. Though my start in life had its challenges, my heart remains full of sweetness. I might be a tad shy at first, but I quickly open up to those who show me kindness. I'm quite fond of other dogs and children, and I tend to overlook cats, so I’d fit in well even in a household with feline friends.

What I dream of most is a forever family who will play with me and continue my training—I'm just as clever as I am lovable! I hope to find my family super soon.

Oh my goodness, Colli is such a clever little girl! Just look at how adorable her “sit” is! She’s going to bring so much joy to her forever family, but can you believe that not a single person has applied for her yet? That really makes us sad!

Hi. Excuse me. Do you see how cute this dog is?!?!
Us too which is why we are completely baffled how she is still searching for her forever people.

We will allow her to reintroduce herself!

Hey there! The name's Pepper, and I’m a zesty 7-month-old Blue Heeler/Terrier mix, ready to add some spice to your life—think of me as the hot sauce your tacos are missing! I’ve got my spay, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations all checked off.
I’m a spunky, playful gal bursting with mischief and smarts! I’m always down for adventure, whether it’s dodging vacuum cleaners or trying to outsmart the treat jar. I already know how to trot off to my cozy crate, and I pick up routines faster than a squirrel on an espresso binge! I’d totally adore a lively family that loves to play fetch, challenge my brain, and embark on epic hikes that would give any nature documentary a run for its money!
I enjoy bouncing around with other pups (we're basically the canine version of a sitcom), and kids are a barrel of laughs too! As for cats, well, if they’re cool and dog-savvy, consider it a bonus! I’d love to play with them, but they might find me to be a bit TOO playful 😅 Anyhoo, I’d love an active and fun family who would love to give me a great forever home. Please don’t make me wait too long!

Hello! Is this thing on?!
I haven’t found my forever home yet, so let me reintroduce myself!

I'm Kirby! I’m 1 year old, whopping 45 pounds and they say I am a Pug/Rottweiler, DNA test confirmed!. Yep, I’m a blend of snorty snuggles and tough-guy vibes, but I’m really just a big sweetheart!

I come fully loaded and ready for action! I'm microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated, so you can rest easy knowing that I’m ready for all our adventures.

When it comes to making new friends, I’m the socialite of the century! I get along with other dogs and humans like peanut butter and jelly. Now, I haven’t met any cats yet, but with a few pointers and a pinch of patience, I’m sure I’d charm the fur right off them too.

I’ve got a heart bursting with sweetness and enough energy to power a small city! I’m just itching to play fetch, learn some snazzy tricks (my signature move is the “clumsy tumble”), or embark on epic adventures to sniff out all the best park aromas. Whether I'm zooming around with my furry amigos, cuddling up with my favorite humans, or basking in the sunlight like a lion on display, I’m ready to sprinkle your life with joy and laughter!

So, if you’re on the hunt for a playful sidekick who’s all about fun, learning, and making memories that should definitely be turned into a blockbuster movie, look no further!

♥️ MOLLI ♥️

Here’s some quick info on Molli:

🔸 Born on June 30th
🔸 Border Collie mix - expected to be a medium sized adult (40-50lbs)
🔸 Crate trained and almost fully housebroken
🔸Snuggly and smart!
🔸Good with other dogs, cats and kiddos!

We can’t wrap our heads around it, but the reality is hard to ignore: there seems to be an astonishing lack of interest in giving these adorable pups a loving home. It truly baffles us, and our hearts are heavy with confusion and sadness 😢.

Let us re-introduce you to the fabulous four: Colli, Molli, Piggy, and Ziggy! These Border Collie mixes were born on June 30 and are ready to bring joy and companionship into someone’s life. Each of these pups has been microchipped, age-appropriate vaccinated, and spayed or neutered, ensuring that they are healthy and ready for their forever homes.

All of them get along wonderfully with other dogs. They also have a special affinity for children, proving to be patient and loving companions. And let’s not forget about the kitties, they’ve shown themselves to be friendly and curious around cats, making them versatile family pets.

With such loving personalities these pups truly deserve a place to call home. So, we ask again, why is there so little interest? They are just waiting for someone to take them in and shower them with the affection they so richly deserve.

Hi friends, I’m Gidget! I’m currently a 3.5lb mixed breed gal with an estimated birthday of August 6th! I’m expected to be a medium sized grownup! Plus, I’m all set with my spay, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.

Once upon a time, my siblings and I faced a tough situation where we were abandoned and found tied up in a trash bag (that’s pretty scary!). A Good Samaritan came to our rescue, just like a knight in shining armor, and gave us the loving support we needed. While my beginnings were a bit challenging, I promise you I’m a sweet
pup with a sparkling personality. I also along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids!

I’m still exploring this big, beautiful world, and I would be overjoyed to find my forever family who can help me learn all the wonderful things that will help me grow into the very best girl I can be!

I’ve had quite a journey so far. My siblings and I were found in a tough situation, abandoned and tied up in a trash bag. But guess what? A kind-hearted person discovered us and got us the help we needed! Even though life started off a bit rocky, I’m a sweet, resilient girl with a fantastic personality. I get along great with dogs, cats, and kids!

I’m still learning about this big world, and I would absolutely love for my forever family to help teach me all the wonderful things to make me the best girl ever! 🐾❤️

Third time posting this sweet girl is a charm, we hope!

Meet Molli, the stunning border collie mix who just turned 3 months old! Yes, that’s right, three whole months of cuteness that could power a small city! Molli comes fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

Now, let’s talk about her crate skills. This gal practically runs the place like it’s her own canine Airbnb! And don’t let her looks fool you, Molli’s got a PhD in puzzle toys, solving them faster than you can say “treat time!” She’s a total genius!

This playful girl is also super respectful to her fellow doggo companions, and she enjoys hangin' out with kids and kitties without turning it into a wild circus. She loves playing fetch, and she’s more eager to learn than a toddler in a candy store! So, if you’ve been looking for a furry friend who’s as smart as a whip and twice as charming, Molli is your girl! Let’s not keep this beautiful girl from finding her forever home ♥️

I’m Banjo, a Great Pyrenees mix with a birthday bash estimated to be on June 19th and I’ll be a large guy when I grow up! I’m all caught up on my vaccines, I’ve been neutered, AND I’ve got my very own microchip, talk about a triple whammy of awesomeness!

Now, let’s chat about my backstory: I didn’t exactly start out in a five star hotel. Nope! I was found living outside in some not-so-glamorous conditions, and let me tell you, the soggy weather made me lose a whole bunch of fur. But fear not! I’ve been pampered with the best treatment, and while my fur is growing back a tad bit wobbly, we’re totally on the right track and I’ll have my fabulous fur back soon!

Despite my rocky beginnings, I’m on a mission to be the friendliest pup you’ll ever meet! I’m a total socialite, everyone who crosses my path becomes my new bestie! With my curious nature, playful spirit, and undeniable charm, I’m ready to find a family to call my very own!

Quick Facts about Banjo:
✅ Age appropriate vaccines
✅ Microchipped
✅ Neutered
✅ Great with dogs, kids and cats
