If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with joy and your evenings with cuddles, Angel is the perfect match for you!Come meet Angel and let her win your heart with her loving personality and playful antics. She’s ready to find her forever home—could it be with you?The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.December 10, 2024, 4:26 pm

Story
Meet Machu, a resilient 4-year-old pup with an incredible story. Rescued from an abandoned barn three years ago, Machu was underweight and covered in paint but has made remarkable progress. Due to our demanding work schedules, we can no longer give him the attention he deserves. Machu is microchipped, up to date on rabies, and will have all vaccines updated before adoption. He’s a high-energy, intelligent dog who thrives in a pack environment and loves to run and explore. Machu would flourish in a home with other dogs and enjoys herding or tackling obstacle courses. Though not a morning dog, he’s eager to play after work. Despite his size, he’s a snuggly lap dog with no sense of personal space! Due to his size, he’s not ideal for homes with young children. Machu is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows advanced commands. He has some fear aggression toward female strangers, so he’d do best in a male or mixed-gender household without kids. Apply to adopt Machu today!
