Story
Well Hello it's me... 🍑 Peach !Peaches...Sweet peach....Peachy pie.....Sweet potato peach parfait.....One friend even calls me Peach crush. I'm all that AND more. I tell you -once you meet me- you'll be crushing on me for sure. I'm a delight.I hear it's my season. 🍑I mean really -when is it NOT peach season?!🍑🧡They say I should tell you about myself and how I came to be miss HSWC peach blossom queen. Well I seem to have gotten myself into a real peach of a situation and not the good sweet kind. I found myself out wandering and then was brought here to this boarding school for exceptional individuals. Some of these yappers are real show offs. I'm not into all that bragging. But I'm pretty popular. I guess that why I was voted queen. 👑I come bouncing out like -"hey what's going on." Are you a friend or not? Then I figure out who's who and what my game is. I figure things out pretty quickly.🍑I'm neat in my kennel.🍑Sweet peach personality.🍑Beautiful appearance, shiny coat with colorful markings. 🍑I'm figuring out who I want to play with: Easy and chill, no problem, small and playful ok. 🍑I'm Young and highly training motivated and the best part is - I'm just grown past that high maintenance, needy puppy stage! 🍑I have medium energy -just right for outdoor adventures. 🍑I'm an active peach, but once exercise is done I love cuddles and affection. 🍑I wait patiently in my kennel for attention.🍑I'm working on building my confidence so I can be my best self. 🍑Peach perfect shape-47 pint sized pounds! 🟢I like people. Friendly and fun.🟡I may run to check out new things but I lack confidence when I get there.🟡Cautious with cats. I'm Unsure if they can be trusted as friend or foe. Avoid them Is my plan.I'm looking for my own orchard and a nice family that will be there for me. You are formally invited to attend our peach festival and meet me so our friendship adventures can begin!🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡 Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 51.2 Age: 2yrs 6mths 3wks

Fendi here! Reporting for duty! I'm named for those high quality shoes and you are going to need to get yourself some so we can hit the ground running in style! I'm a busy gal looking for adventure.Chasing wildlife, cats, skunks ...an elusive game of hide and seek with the animal control officer under a shed is quite a party. That lifestyle is too enticing for me so we need to dial that down. Car rides and hikes on leash are best for me. I was selected to attend this HSWC army recruitment event and I'm looking to be all I can be! Come join me in my pursuit of a great life- no make that a pawsome life!!🐕‍🦺🟢🟡I came here with my son and another housemate. I can be alright with them two. Others we will have to see. Meetings and greetings are required with other yappers to see if we dig. 👡I'm Friendly with people.👟Strong walker. 46 pounds lean and sweet!🥾Smart and learning Leash manners everyday.👢ambitious, 👞curious,👠bold,🥾prepared, 🛼adventurous, ⛸️inspired, and empowered.Reaching deep inside me for things I've never known.

I do more before 9 am than most dogs do all day.I want to get an edge on life and find my future in your faarmily. 🙀🚫❌No cats or ❌🚫🐣chickens please. But I will make you look good as I model my designer fur suit - the envy of all on A row. Come and spring me from boot camp. I'm ready to take this to the next level.

Story
Xander is currently in a foster home. Please call to schedule a time to meet him.11 small dogs came from the same home. Ranging from 4 months to 15 years old. Some are Chihuahua, ShihTzu, and Chinese Crested. All are in need of some TLC to be looking their best.Xander is an 8 year old  Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix. Chinese Crested dogs are HAIRLESS! Look them up, they're pretty neat. He is a little extra hairless at this time due to poor living conditions and care but as his hair grows back he will be a pretty spectacular looking dog.He is mostly blind but I assure you that doesn't stop this boy from getting around, giving love, and playing. He is ready for his forever home to match the amount of love he can give, and that's a lot! Primary Color: Blonde Weight: 5.8 Age: 8yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Ben & Jerry here to be your sweet treat dessert!Just like the ice cream, you can never have too much of these boys either. Ben and Jerry came in as strays together. Both are estimated to be 11 months old, are similar looking, and same size - so although there is no proof, we believe that they are brothers. With that being said, they do not need to be adopted together. Ben and Jerry would be plenty happy separated as long as they know their brother also has a safe and happy home.They do well with each other and other dogs from what we have seen so far. We have not yet tested them with cats, but if an interested application had cats we certainly will check that before sending them home. These boy are both between 55 and 60 pounds. They are more of a high energy dog, so they certainly would like a dog or human who wants to play with them. Don't let the high energy scare you, it just means there is more fun to be had!
