Holiday was rescued from the shelter, where she landed heavily pregnant and looking for someone to help her out. We scooped her up and a few days later she had a litter of adorable puppies! She was an amazing Mama and now that her puppies are ready for homes of their own, she’s excited to start her next adventure with you! Holiday weighs around 15 pounds and is the most perfect petite little lady. She has a lightly shedding coat and an adorable little snaggletooth that gives her a unique look. She is not an option for allergies. She turns heads wherever she goes! If you’re ready to kickstart the holidays a bit early, come out and meet Holiday today!       Holiday is a cuddly, velcro dog who wants to be with her people every minute of the day. She adores her chosen humans and wants to snuggle every minute of the day with you. Holiday is the kind of dog where once you win her heart, she is yours forever. Holiday is a great mix of playful and laid back energy. She likes to play and show off her zoomies, but is also happy to curl up and snooze an afternoon away as her foster mom works at her desk.  Holiday’s dream home is somewhere she can find her throne on a pile of blankets and pillows. She would love to be a WFH companion as she just wants to be near her people as often as she can. She would love to join a home with a resident dog or cat so she has a constant buddy to play with and follow around. Holiday is super funny as well, gathering her toys and stashing them in her foster mom’s office from the other dogs. She loves her tiny tennis balls and is happy to play fetch for as long as you throw the ball. With her bright eyes and her adorable little snaggletooth, Holiday turns heads wherever she goes. Holiday is so excited to haul out the holly and make the season bright!  Holiday wakes up in her foster mom’s bed around 7:30 AM and curls up for some morning snuggles until she’s ready to start her day. She eats breakfast around 8 AM, a mixture of wet food and kibble. She keeps her foster mom company as she works from home, curling up on a soft bed or the couch as she snoozes the hours away. She gets a snack around lunchtime followed by some playtime with her puppies. She takes another long nap until she’s ready for her dinner, which is served at 6 PM. In the evening, Holiday hops up on the couch and rolls over for kisses and snuggles. She’s always happy to binge watch some TV, as long as she’s by your side! Holiday goes out for one more potty around 11 PM and then follows her foster mom up to bed!  Holiday has always lived with dogs of varying sizes and will be an amazing addition to any home, whether or not there are resident dogs. She gets along fabulously with the four resident cats. Holiday is cautious but curious when she meets new humans, but is quickly won over with tasty snacks. Holiday is working on her leash walking and potty training skills. If you’re ready for a new best friend, come and meet our Holiday!       Holiday is an option for homes with prior dog experience, even if less recent. Kids should be over the age of 7.December 17, 2024, 4:45 am

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $850   King Tut is a 10 week old Maltese x Yorkie (Morkie) mix ready to take his throne in your house! Tut came into our rescue at only 6 weeks old where he was found living in a dirty backyard. A good citizen scooped him up and brought him to our rescue, where we promised to find him the very best home once he grew big and strong. Now that he’s grown up, we’re excited for this fluffball to provide joy to his new people! We expect Tut to stay on the smaller side when he is fully grown as he is a little pipsqueak now! Tut will likely have a light shedding kind of coat, so he will not be true hypoallergenic but could be an option for lighter allergies. Come and meet our royal King Tut today!      King Tut is a ball of fluffy, adorable energy who bounds through life with excitement and joy. He adores his people and follows them from room to room with an excitement only a puppy can bring. He loves giving kisses and cuddles and will shower you in little licks if you put your face near his. Tut is the best kind of puppy. He’s playful when he’s awake and he’s out cold when he’s ready for a nap. He’s great at keeping himself entertained with toys and chews when he needs to, but he’s also always down for a play or cuddle session. Tut adores his canine companions and is his happiest when he’s zooming around the yard chasing a fluffy pal. He has a ton of adorable energy that provides endless excitement and adventure for his foster family. As this handsome heartbreaker grows up, we know he will be the talk of the town. He is truly one of the most adorable little puppies in the entire world, trust us! After a long day of entertaining the neighborhood, Tut is ready to settle down as you brush and pet his soft, fluffy coat. As long as you’re ready to provide him a throne of plush toys and treats, he will rule over your heart with kisses and hugs forever! His foster mom says that her favorite silly Tut trait is that sometimes he is bouncing around so fast he slides across the floor like an ice skater. He’s a man of many talents and we’d expect nothing less from a King!  Tut wakes up when his foster family does and starts playtime right away. He eats three times a day and has a healthy appetite. Like any puppy, he cycles between zooming around and sleeping soundly often. He loves playing fetch or tug-of-war, even if he hasn’t quite grasped the concepts of either yet. He practices going outside to potty every few hours but also has potty pad access. Tut loves to pounce on his toys and shake them fiercely like the little lion he is. He loves to cuddle up with his foster people at the end of the day as they unwind before he goes out for one last potty and then heads into his pen for the night.  King Tut has been socialized with playful dogs and adores them. He would thrive with a canine sibling. Interested homes should be prepared to discuss plans for continued training and socialization. Tut loves humans of all ages and charms even the strongest team cat people. It’s hard to resist his fluffy face! We can’t wait to find this handsome boy his forever people! Come and bow down to royalty and adopt King Tut!       King Tut is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Homes without this experience will NOT BE CONSIDERED OR REPLIED TO. Kids should be over the age of 7.December 14, 2024, 3:13 pm

Grinch was rescued from the shelter with a few of his Whoville neighbors after a failed attempt at stealing Christmas landed him behind bars. We agreed to rescue him and help grow his heart TEN sizes once he found his forever family. Mr. Grinch weighs 10 pounds and is the perfect size for all the sleigh riding adventures you have in mind. He has a non-shedding coat and is an option for those with allergies. Come share a Who Feast with Mr. Grinch and adopt him today!      Mr. Grinch is actually Mr. Happy, according to everyone who’s ever met him! He is a bundle of joy and is ridiculously affectionate. Seriously, if his heart grew any more sizes it wouldn’t fit in his body, that’s how full of love and joy our boy is. Grinch is the perfect “go with the flow” dog, as he’s able to keep himself occupied while you work but is ready to cuddle at the drop of a hat. He is a spry older gentleman and loves to play. He would love to adventure and check out all the holiday lights with his forever people. Grinch is what we would call a velcro dog, as he is happiest when he can be as close to you as possible. He would spend the entire day curled up on your lap getting cuddles if you let him, and it’s hard to say no to a face as adorable as his! Mr. Grinch will show you that sometimes the perfect dog isn’t a puppy, but a dog who has a lifetime of experiences that have prepared him to be your very best friend. Whether Christmas, Easter, or the 4th of July, Mr. Grinch can’t wait to join you on every holiday adventure to come!  Grinch starts his day around 6:30 AM by following the resident dogs outside for potty before he hops onto the couch for some morning snuggles. Breakfast is served at 7:30 AM and he tends to graze at it throughout the morning. After breakfast, he zooms around inside and outside of the house until he’s ready for a nap. He goes for a walk in the afternoon before returning home for another nap and playtime. He has dinner at 6 PM and then spends the evenings lounging until he’s ready for bed in his crate.  Grinch lives with two resident dogs and he absolutely adores them. They play and lounge on an endless loop. He walks well on a leash and enjoys his walks. Grinch is crate trained and potty trained. He is the perfect dog for homes ready for a golden aged pup with a heart of pure diamond. Come swing by the Whoville Dog Shelter and pick up Mr. Grinch!      Mr. Grinch is an option for any home, regardless of prior experience. Kids should be over the age of 8.December 17, 2024, 4:45 am
