Story
Mosa is one of those puppies who instantly steals hearts. She’s only four months old, but she already has the sweetest, most lovable personality that makes everyone who meets her fall completely in love. This little girl is the perfect balance of playful and cuddly. She absolutely loves to play—whether it’s with toys, other puppies, or just happily bouncing around exploring the world. Her puppy curiosity is adorable to watch. Everything is exciting to her, and she approaches life with the cutest little sense of wonder. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/-YqUjH_a70c?si=BHmWfknka2Sy-0q0 But what really makes Mosa special is how affectionate she is. She truly loves being close to people. When she’s done playing, she’ll happily curl up next to you or climb into your lap for snuggles like it’s her favorite place in the world. She has the sweetest way of settling in and just enjoying being loved. Mosa has such a gentle, happy personality. She’s playful and fun, but also incredibly sweet and loving. She’s the kind of puppy who makes a house feel warmer just by being there. Whether she’s wagging her tail excitedly when she sees you, chasing a toy across the room, or snuggling up for quiet cuddle time, she brings a little bit of joy to every moment. At four months old, Mosa still has her whole life ahead of her. She’s ready for a family who will teach her, grow with her, and make her part of all the little everyday adventures. With love, patience, and guidance, she’s going to grow into an amazing companion who will be by your side through everything. Mosa is sweet, cuddly, playful, and completely adorable—the kind of puppy that makes people say, “How could anyone not adopt her?” If you’re looking for a loving little puppy who will bring endless smiles, cozy cuddles, and lots of happy tail wags into your life, Mosa might just be the perfect new addition to your family. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/699dcb0a80bc3493c201b21f Questions?

Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.

Story
We are sad to rehome Sunny but my father has mild Alzheimer’s and keeps thinking he can walk Sunny or feed her. He keeps tripping or taking her for walks when he really isn’t physically able to any more and getting hurt. He’s fallen over trying to bend down to feed her as well. She deserves a good home and would thrive with a large back yard and active parents. She isn’t to blame, but our dad really doesn’t understand he isn’t able to care for pets and won’t stop even if we ask him. We won’t want him to get seriously hurt just trying to care for her. She’s very sweet, active, and loves to go on walks.

Story
Brutus is a handsome, sensitive boy who is looking for a home where he can truly blossom at his own pace. While he can be a bit overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of kennel life-sometimes needing a gentle pep talk and a few high-value treats to get moving-his true personality shines once he's out in the fresh air. On a leash, he is an absolute gentleman, walking with a loose lead and a wagging tail as he takes in the world through his nose.Once Brutus trusts you, he is incredibly affectionate; he's been known to lean into pets, "solicit" head scratches by pushing into your hand, and even show off his repertoire of tricks like "sit," "lay down," and "shake." He is looking for a patient adopter who understands that he might be a little "trembly" in new situations but will reward your kindness with a soft heart and a loyal companionship. If you have a quiet home and a stash of hot dogs or cheese, you might just be the person Brutus has been waiting for!
