Story
Halo has been a beloved family dog since the day we brought her home. She is attached to me at the hip and is my most loyal companion. She’s always shown those typical Australian shepherd tendencies of being reactive to specific things. Once you get to know what makes her uncomfortable she is easily managed. We recently had a baby and I was worried to say the least. But she did AMAZING with our newborn I was so beyond thankful. But now my baby is 10 months old… she’s getting Mobil, she’s getting grabby, and Halo is becoming uncomfortable being around her and I don’t trust her as she has nipped other dogs before and ONLY at people when they put there face into her face… she does NOT like that and will nip. This is not a chance I’m willing to take when it comes to my baby. I’m heartbroken to say the least. I want nothing but the absolute best for Halo to have a long and happy life even if I’m not the one that can provide that for her as I had planned…

Story
Meet Tulip! 🌸 Your new best friend is just a tail wag away! Just look at her great tail ! Tulip is a small mixed breed pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. With her curly tail, expressive eyes, and bouncy step, she turns heads wherever she goes. Don’t let her size fool you—this little lady is packed with love, joy, and just the right amount of spunk! Tulip is as sweet as they come. She loves cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, and belly rubs any time you’re offering. Her playful energy is contagious, but she also knows how to settle down and enjoy the quiet moments. She’s great with other dogs and gets along beautifully with cats, making her a perfect fit for a multi-pet household. Whether she's romping with her furry friends or snuggling up for a nap, Tulip is always happy just being with her people. Quick facts: 🐾 Small shepherd mix 🐾 Curly tail and spunky spirit 🐾 Dog and cat friendly 🐾 Sweet, social, and ready for her forever home Tulip would thrive in a home where she gets love, structure, and space to play. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a spark of sass and a whole lot of love to give, Tulip is your girl. **Tulip was recently diagnosed with renal dysplasia, which means her kidneys didn’t develop normally before birth. This condition can affect how well her kidneys work over time. Right now, Tulip is feeling good—she eats well, plays, and enjoys her daily walks just like any other dog. Her current care includes a special kidney-friendly diet and regular check-ups with her vet to monitor her kidney function. While there’s no cure for renal dysplasia, many dogs like Tulip live happy, comfortable lives for months or even years with good care and lots of love. We’re looking for a family who can provide her with a stable, low-stress home and continue her veterinary care. In return, Tulip will reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and joy every single day.** Due to Tulip's diagnosis we have reduced her adoption fee by 50%. Her adoption fee will be $330 + tax to ensure her future family can set her up for success with the proper food and vet support. If you’re someone with a big heart who believes that every dog deserves a chance at love and comfort, Tulip might just be your perfect match. 💛 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
This pittie is as sweet as her name. Sugar Bear is the perfect mix of loving, loyal, and well-mannered. She’s potty trained, quiet through the night, and even knows to stay off the furniture, though she thinks it looks awfully cozy! Luckily, she adores her bed and is happy to settle in when it’s time to rest. She’s a respectful house guest, too! When gated in the mud room for naps or bedtime, she curls up with her toys and never bothers shoes or anything else that isn’t hers. Sugar Bear is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes working on her leash skills fun and rewarding. She loves being close to her people and shows affection in the sweetest ways, like sitting on your feet or leaning gently against your leg to stay connected. Her ideal home would have a fenced yard where she can play and explore safely. Sugar Bear would thrive with adults or families with older kids who can share in her love and cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will melt your heart every day, Sugar Bear is ready to be your new best friend! All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Bennie may be small, but don’t let her size fool you, this tiny pup is absolutely mighty and still has a lot of time to grow. A little sweetheart through and through, she fills every room with charm and cuddles. Bennie loves nothing more than curling up for long naps with her mom, batting around her favorite toys, and faithfully following her favorite people wherever they go. Each morning, Bennie starts her day with a very important “morning meeting” with her sister, usually followed by a competitive round of tug-of-war. She’s a quick learner, (she mastered “sit” in minutes!) though potty training is still a work in progress (and she’s doing her best). Bennie is good with Cats and Kids so a great addition to any family With her brave spirit, soft snuggles, and endlessly sweet personality, Bennie is the perfect mix of tiny and mighty All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
The adoption fee listed above is partially sponsored by a generous donor so her adoption fee is $370+ tax! Sasha is as sweet as they come. This beautiful, well-mannered 4-year-old girl has worked so hard with her trainer and has become an absolute leash-walking champ! She’s fully muzzle-conditioned and happy to wear it! Sasha has never shown any people aggression, but she does have a strong prey drive—so she’ll need to wear her muzzle anytime she’s outside for the safety of our small dog friends and any other small critters in your neighborhood. We’d love to see her future home have a tall privacy fence where she can safely enjoy regular off-leash time without her muzzle. She’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her people—whether it’s relaxing after a long day or joining you on adventures. Sasha does well with other dogs with slow introductions. This sweet girl is gentle with her toys, easy to bathe, and full of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-trained companion who’s ready for her next chapter, Sasha is your girl! 📹 See her in action: 🔗 Watch Sasha’s playlist All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
