Story
Rambo is a 7-year-old pup (born Feb 14) with a big personality and a loving heart once he trusts you. I took him in from a previous home where his environment wasn’t safe, so he can be guarded at first and needs time to warm up. He is especially cautious around men due to past trauma and requires slow, patient introductions. His reactions are fear-based, not aggression. Once comfortable, Rambo is very sweet, loyal, and loves attention. He is still active and enjoys playtime and walks. He does have some habits like marking and needs structure and consistency, so he would do best with an experienced owner. I’m rehoming him because my schedule no longer allows me to give him the time he needs. I want him in a patient, loving, and stable home that will give him the life he deserves. Serious inquiries only.

Meet Butterball 🧈🐾 Butterball is a gentle, lovable sweetheart who lives up to his name in the best way.

He’s a polite pup who already knows “sit” and is both food and affection motivated, making training fun and rewarding.

Story
Playful, athletic, fun, loving pups! Although small in size they are big in personality. These pups will thrive in an active home that has time for socialization and consistent training. Magnolia's foster shared the following: Magnolia (nickname Mouse) is a sweet and easy going little darling. One of the smallest in the litter, she runs and wrestles just as hard as her siblings, but she is the first to head to bed for a nap and the last to get up. She likes to curl up in my lap while the rest are still jumping around. Born and raised with love in foster homes, she is friendly, curious, clever, adventurous, playful, and affectionate. Magnolia adores the resident terrier (while respecting his boundaries) and has hung out with a giant Bernese Mountain dog without fear. She's had a play yard with all kinds of objects and materials to climb and play with, and supervised free play in the garden, which has made her confident when going about the world. She shows no anxiety and easily shares her food and toys. She is learning to come on command and is very treat motivated. She has very short sleek fur and is all white except for her ear.

Story
Meet the adorable “M Puppies” — Maddie, Mickey, Mason, Mini, and Midge — a lively and lovable bunch ready to bring joy to their forever homes! These pups are the definition of family-friendly companions. They are great with kids and get along well with other dogs, making them a wonderful addition to a busy or multi-pet household. Their affectionate nature means they thrive on attention and love being close to their people — they’re especially motivated by affection, which makes bonding and training a rewarding experience. Full of personality, the M Puppies have a playful, medium-energy temperament. Their favorite way to have fun? Wrestling and engaging in mouthy, puppy-style play, so they’ll do best with families who can guide them with consistent, positive training. They can be a bit jumpy, especially when excited, but this just reflects their enthusiasm for life and can be shaped with patience and structure. While they are beginning to build independence and can be left alone for up to 2 hours, it’s important to remember that they are still very young puppies. They are actively developing and will need someone around most of the day to support proper socialization, provide mental stimulation, and help them grow into well-adjusted adult dogs. Plenty of interaction, playtime, and guidance will set them up for success. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and spirited puppy, one of the M Puppies might be your perfect match! Please note: No refunds on puppies.
