Story
Hi friends, my name is Peluche. Im a 1-year-old Yorkie Pug mix with a gentle little soul and a big heart just waiting for the right person to love me. My past wasnt the easiest, I came from a home that didnt want me, but I know my future can be bright with someone who will give me the love and patience I deserve. I can be timid at first, but if you give me a little time to feel safe, I promise Ill reward you with loyalty, trust, and endless affection. Once I open up, Ill be your sweet shadow and constant companion. I enjoy playtime, I get along well with other dogs, and I also love cozy moments just lounging by your side. Im the perfect mix of independent and affectionate. Im searching for a family who will give me the chance to blossom and show the best version of me. Could that be you?

Story
Hi, Im Chiquita. Im a 5-month-old Bull Terrier mix who grew up as a stray in Thermal, trying to survive all on my own. I didnt really get the chance to learn how to just be a puppy, but now that Im safe, Im finally discovering how fun life can be. Im playful, full of energy, and always ready to explore. Every day I learn something new. For example how to trust, how to play, how to enjoy being loved, and it feels amazing. Im an active girl, and Id love a family who will keep me busy, take me on adventures, and help me continue growing into the happy, confident dog Im meant to be. If youre looking for a sweet, spirited pup with a big heart and lots of potential, Im your Chiquita. Lets take on the world together.

Story
Hi, Im Preston! Im a sweet, energetic boy who came from an accidental litter. My mom is an Alaskan Husky, so Ive got the smarts, drive, and playful spirit that come with the breed. I grew up with cats, and Im great with them Im actually a really good dog all around, I just need the right kind of home. I do have high energy, so Im looking for someone who understands working-type breeds and can give me structure, activity, and a big backyard to run and explore. I love people and Im eager to please, but I do have one quirk: I dont like tires. Cars, bikes, anything with spinning wheels makes me anxious and Ill go after them. Im not sure if something happened to me before, but Id do best with someone who can help me work through that safely. If youre experienced, active, and looking for a loyal companion wholl adore you forever, I might be your perfect match. I promise Ill bring tons of love, joy, and adventure into your life.

Story
Meet Coconut! Hi there! Im Coconut, and Im looking for my forever home. I came from a high-kill shelter where I was on the brink of being put down, all because I had three broken fractures that needed some special care. But dont worry Im a fighter, and with the help of some amazing people, Im feeling so much better now! I might be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, Im all about love and snuggles. Im a small terrier, just 5-7 months old, and I absolutely adore other dogs! I get along with all my furry friends and would love to have a sibling or two to share my toys and cozy spots with. Im looking for a patient and loving family who will help me build my confidence and let me show them just how much love I have to give. With time, I promise Ill be your little cuddle bug. Do you have room in your heart and home for a shy but sweet boy like me?
