Story

Meet Bella! Bella is a sweet, affectionate dog who is looking for a loving home with someone who enjoys her playful and cuddly side. She is great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though she has not had much experience around cats. She is a bit of a toy connoisseur though stuffed toys dont last long around her, she absolutely adores sturdy, indestructible toys like Kongs. She is motivated by treats, especially if they involve peanut butter, and she is happiest on car rides, making her the perfect road-trip companion! Bella would do great with an adopter who is ready for cozy cuddle sessions and has a playful, active lifestyle. If you are looking for a loyal, snuggly friend who is as fun as she is loving, Bella might be the perfect addition to your family!

Meet Blue! Blue is a lovable, fun-loving dog who is ready to find her forever family! She is a joy to be around and full of energy and always up for playtime. Blue gets along well with other dogs and would make a great companion for an active adopter who enjoys having a playful buddy. Though she hasnt had much experience with cats, Blues curious nature means she is open to new friends with the right introductions. She loves her toys, especially durable ones like Kongs that can withstand her enthusiastic chewing, and she is a big fan of tasty treats. Blue is also a fantastic co-pilot for car rides, making her the ideal dog for someone who enjoys adventures on the road. If you are looking for a happy, outgoing dog who will bring joy and energy into your life, Blue is the perfect match! Blue and Bella (the other dog on my account) are siblings and get along fantastic.
