Story
Jake is a sweet guy looking for a forever home where he can finally settle down. Over the past 5 years of his life he has been bounced around from person to person looking for a home that will finally stick, and still he is searching. After being abandoned at a vet clinic Jake was brought to Furry Friends to find a home that will love him for who he is. He loves treats and will do just about anything for a yummy snack. He appreciates a person who can take things a bit slow with him so you can learn to trust before showing his true personality, fun, energetic, and so so sweet. His little snorts and funny quirks will bring smiles to your face each day.

Chino aka the doe eyed sweetheart who wears his ears like a hat, is looking for his new family! Chino is a BIG fan of toys and he will make it a personal requirement to always have more at his request. Sometimes a few toys might end up ripped or broken but if you ask Chino, he's not sure how that happens. He is fully potty trained and has done well on walks, even preferring to carry his toys for the entire duration. Chinos big head and loving personality has made him a staff favorite at the shelter so we can all say confidently that you won't want to miss out on this goof! Fill out an application to meet Chino!

Meet Odin! Odin is a happy-go-lucky pup looking for the right forever home to love him for his big personality and show stopping smile! Odin has had a bit of a rough start and is ready for his new family to show him all the love and cuddles he craves. He loves to sit right by (or on the feet of) his humans and is always ready for the next adventure. He has done well in foster homes and loves just being close to his person. He is fully potty trained so don't worry about any accidents! He would do best in a home without other animals as he doesn't want to have to share the spotlight, but would love for him to be your new best buddy.
