Story
Good Ol' Charlie Brown is a lovable pup full of playful energy. He needs lots of exercise and would prefer not to be left alone all day as he gets separation anxiety and can get out of a yard if left alone too long. He will enjoy the company of another playful dog. He loves car rides, walks, and toys!! Not good for household with younger children as he can nip if he's caught off guard. Hes usually good on walks, but can get dog reactive at times. His next home will have either someone home all day or away for short periods only. He would also really enjoy a fur buddy to play with. He would also benefit from obedience training to help him become his best self.

Story
Sweet Helen has had a rough start in life. She was surrendered to a high kill shelter when her mom could no longer care for her. Shes veryslow to warm up and trust humans, but when she does shes a love and very affectionate. Shes husky for a Chihuahua and looks like a large breed puppy, but shes an adult. Helen loves to be carried, especially when shes afraid, hasn't had much experience in the real world so she'll need someone very patient and willing to help her gain confidence and social skills. She gets along with other small dogs as long as they're not demanding and can give her space. She is shown by appt only and will need a few visits before she feels comfortable going with her new family. No small children as she can nip when scared.

Story
This little Prince was found roaming the streets , ikely dumped by his previous owners when he wasn't wanted anymore. Prince is an absolute cuddle bug who loves being carried everywhere you go. He is a tripaw, unknown reason, and he gets around pretty well on his own. He is very docile, and cooperative with handling. He also loves to play but has trouble keeping up with the others at his foster home. Due to his state of severe neglect (how he was found), he never got treatment for his dry eyes which has left him partially sighted. He gets eye drops several times each day. Otherwise, he is very healthy and full of life. He will be a wonderful companion to someone who has love to give and needs a loyal friend.

Adrian comes from a kill shelter after he was found wandering the streets. His solid black, shiny, beautiful wavy coat and mannerisms suggest that he is pure breed. He is a fun, easygoing guy, full of personality, sweet, loving, happy. Easy to meet. He enjoys walks, not so much car rides, and definitely does not like to be in enclosed places, gets very anxious. He does have a cataract in his left eye and is prone to ear infections as cockers tend to be. Otherwise healthy and no regular medications . Also needs foster home which is a great way to try out a dog you might want to keep.
