Story
Winn the baby! At just about a year and a half old, weighing in at a measly 30 pounds; he's full of love, life, and a huge personality! Winn's most favorite thing to do is definitely run around with stuffy toys like he's the coolest pooch in town! Or snuggle them, or really anything that he can. With mention to cuddles, he is a true cuddle bug, whether he has the chance to leap into your lap, into the crook of your arm, or just down near your feet, he is a truly loyal little boy. Anytime he's given time in the lobby, you'll always catch him within someone's trail, taking a nap, or sitting up, eagerly awaiting his next interaction with people, kiddos, and all other dogs! What I personally love most about Winn Dixie is his ability to learn, and so incredibly quick. He has his simple commands down; and while he always tends to respond with much more enthusiasm when there's treats nearby, he has yet to let us down! Winn seems to be house-broken, using his crate-training over night, and during work hours, and is a one of a kind pup. Open to just about any home that enjoys spending their time with a canine companion, & have love to give!

Story
Mike the big handsome boy! Whose personality matches his name perfectly! Mikey boy is as velcroey as can be to ALL people, (& weighing a little over 65 pounds at about a year old, it makes sense!) He loves nothing more than playing some ball and then coming in to get loved on! Before you know it, he's everybody's best friend, and has TRULY never met a stranger- just someone who hasn't loved on him yet! He has gotten along with all other dogs, and kids! He is such a sweetheart! Not to mention, this young man knows all of his basics; crate-trained, house-broke, AND has amazing manners. While we still work with Mike on simple things like walking on a leash with manners, he's taking to it like a champ! He's quite honestly that perfect 50/50 mix between brilliant and a goofball, who's willing to join his person in just about anything, and makes ANY activity fun! Or of course, is perfectly content chewing on a bone, eating the treats out of a kong, or napping while his people are away! Mike is an absolute snuggle bug, very quickly placing his head in laps for some pets, and making his best attempts at being a tiny-little lap dog! We know he will do amazingly in just about any loving home, as he loves everyone and everything! We've been hard at work with Mike's leash-walking skills, and he has been doing AMAZING! He walks with a loose leash 99% of the time, and LOVES keeping engagement with whoever is walking with him!

Story
Have you ever seen such adorable little fluffy butts? We didn't think so! Mitzi & Maisie are literally a match made in heaven, the yin & yang of pups, the dynamic duo, the.. yeah you get my point! They compliment one another in all of the perfect ways. When Maisie may be a little hesitant, Mitzi will take charge and just GO FOR IT; and vice versa. It's almost like magic, watching them interact, their bond is like none I've ever seen before, and their bond to people... exactly the same. Mitzi & Maisie are both about 10 years old, making them the perfect age for companionship, contentedness, and boy, ALL THE LOVE you can imagine. They are cuddle bugs, love bugs, kissers, lap lovers, and above all, truly perfect. They both get along splendidly with other dogs, and have passed cat testing with FLYING colors! One would say, they may have learned their lesson with them a couple of times, they are interested, but they respect their space very well! They also have no issue with kids, and they even do great with all other dogs!

Story
Donny! The most content puppy you could EVER dream of, Donny doesn't have a care in the world, unless of course it has to do with giving and receiving all the lovin's! As he's then ALL in, with a wiggly butt, and swingin' tail, he's quick to roll over for some belly rubs, and often crawl right up into anyone's lap, knowing exactly how to use his adorable brown eyes for all that he could ever want! How can we resist? Look at this little guy! At about 8 months old, he is a genuine hambone, weighing in at about 35 pounds, and alllll puppy chunk! Donny adores romping with the other dogs, playing with the volunteer kiddos, and even the kitties! What could be better than adding Donny into your family? Not much, considering this guy is well on his way to having learned all of the basics, AND he's just a pint-sized companion boy! No seriously! Donny was fortunate enough to be fostered before making his way to us, and his crate-training skills are AMAZING, let alone his basic obedience!

Story
Are you a fan of small, fluffy, cloud-looking, adorable dogs?! If so, you're in luck! Winston has stolen my heart. He has the most hilarious personality, where he's got a spring in his step, and a constantly wiggling little butt, and I can't help myself, and I adore him. So I know you will, too! Winston is just by far the most outgoing, playful, yet lovey lovey dog I've met so far. He gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs; making him just THAT much easier to get home! In fact, he's already crate-trained, knows basic commands, and we are confident he's at least touched on house-breaking, as there's no little dog like this; with such an amazing disposition that hasn't lived in a home before! Winston is only just over a year old, and weighs in around 20 pounds - making him not too big, and surely not too small. He will make you the ultimate companion dog.

Story
Milton is the perfect companion dog; his favorite thing in his day to day is simply snuggling up on a lap, as he sighs, and gives all the kisses he can. You could say that I'm biased towards Milton (I absolutely am, He is far beyond perfection) but he is the perfect dog for anyone looking for a more laid-back, relaxed, and loving Chihuahua. This little man gets to spend most days out in the lobby with me, on my lap, or sleeping peacefully on my desk; he is the best. Inviting Milton onto your lap is the greatest thing ever to him, and the best way to his big heart. I am a true believer in there not being a single dog like him, as he's far past adorable, far past sweet, cuddly, snuggly, and the loviest little bug, EVER! Not to mention, all he really asks for in return is a bit of exercise, and for you to love him just as much in return! At about 5 years old, he weighs in somewhere around 11 pounds, making him the ultimately perfect, portable size for just about any lifestyle! Milton does great around other dogs of similar size, but he also does amazing with bigger dogs, he just makes it clear when he wants some space. We've also cat-tested him so that you don't have to, and he did great! Milton does great with kids who are gentle, and calm. If you're on the hunt for literally the bestest boy in the whole world, he is it! You may have noticed Milton's lack of a lower mandible. It was surgically removed prior to making his way to us to remove the cancerous cells that were growing on his bottom lip area. Without a lower jaw - he doesn't let it hold him back at all! In fact, he is extremely resilient and can do everything normally!
