Story

Meet Harley, a 10-year-old Yorkie weighing just 9 lbs. He's a sweet and friendly guy who’s been through quite a bit, but he's full of love to give. Harley's original owner passed away, and he was adopted by a family member, but sadly they couldn’t keep him because they had to work too much. Now, he's looking for a new home where he can get all the attention and love he deserves! Harley lives in a house with three other dogs and made friends with them right away. He's a cuddly, affectionate little guy who loves attention and enjoys spending time with his people. He's great with kids and loves pampering with a nice bath, nail trim, and grooming. He loves squeaky toys and will happily play with them for hours. Harley needs a patient family to help him with his house manners. In return, he'll reward you with all his love and devotion. If you’re looking for a loving and low-maintenance companion, then Harley is your guy! He won't take up much room in your house--but will fill your heart with love. Come and meet him! ##2258116##

Story

Hello! I’m Sparky, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix weighing in at 12 lbs. I was born on January 29, 2019, and I’m here to bring joy, love, and tons of cuddles into your life. I have a fluffy, medium-length coat that’s perfect for petting, and floppy ears that make me even cuter! I’m a very affectionate dog – I love snuggling up with people and showing them how much I care. I’ve been in homes with young kids, and I was great with them! I’m obedient, playful, and always ready for a good time. I love squeaky toys, and I’m also protective of my people... I think I'm a guard dog! I was surrendered by my previous owner because their apartment wouldn’t allow dogs, but now I’m looking for a new home where I can be loved and spoiled. I’m friendly, playful, and always ready to be your best friend. Let’s hang out, have fun, and be inseparable! ##2258288##
