Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi my name is Bumble and I am looking for my perfect family! I am your typical puppy with lots of energy and love to buzz around your life! I am vetted for my age and will come with a neuter contract to be done by my adopter when I am old enough. I was said to be a boston terrier chihuahua mix, but my foster mom thinks there may be a little wiener dog mixed in there somewhere. I have the cutest little ears and my body is a little longer than a chi/boston terrier would be. Right now I am about 3 pounds and because we are unsure of the mix, we have no idea how big I will be. Our best guess is around 10 pounds. If you think you might be the family for me to buzz around in then please go to www.allmuttsmatter.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2025, 8:22 pm

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
