Story
Hello! I'm Lamar. Though my name's origin is French/Spanish meaning "of the sea," I am part Patterdale Terrier (English) and Pug (China). I'm a quiet, mature 16-year-old male whose good looks and bashful personality will win you over. Being 16 years old, my hearing and sight aren't what they used to be though I can still spot a squirrel in hopes of a chase. I take daily vitamins to support my old joints, but other than that I am quite healthy. I am house broken, an accomplished walker and a professional napper. I will require a very patient individual who allows me to do things on my time. I am very shy of strangers at first, but once I warm up to you I can be very loving. I prefer a quiet home, probably best without any young children. Other dogs are okay if they are not too bouncy, I'm just not up for much rough-housing any more! If you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption application for me.

Story
Meet Junie! This sweet girl is described as loving, kind, and always eager for attention—an all-around amazing companion. She enjoys playing frisbee, chewing on Milk-Bones, going for car rides, and even hanging out on swings or playground equipment. Junie walks beautifully on leash, has great recall, and is both crate and potty trained. She prefers to keep to herself around children and will need a home without other dogs as they make her very uncomfortable. Loud thunderstorms can be scary for her, so she’ll need a cozy spot to feel safe during storms.**A Donation was made towards my adoption fee!**

Story
Meet Lucky, a young and energetic dog who’s ready for an active home to help him keep up with his exercise and training needs. He has lived with other dogs and enjoys playtime, though his playstyle can be a bit rough, so compatible playmates and supervision are recommended. Lucky has not been around children under 12 or cats, so careful management and slow introductions are suggested. He’s also been known to enjoy chasing bunnies, so a secure yard and leashed walks will help set him up for success.

She has lived successfully with another dog and did well, though she can be uncomfortable around unfamiliar dogs and will need slow, thoughtful introductions.
