Story
Meet Scottie – Small Pup, Big Personality! At just 10 weeks old and weighing in at 5 pounds, Scottie may be tiny—but don’t tell him that! This spunky terrier/schnauzer mix is full of life, mischief, and playful charm. He’s got the heart of a much bigger dog and is always ready for fun, whether it’s a game of chase, exploring the yard, or bouncing around with his furry friends. Scottie is currently working hard on his crate and potty training and is doing great for such a young pup. He’s incredibly social and loves other dogs, is curious and kind with cats, and absolutely adores kids. He especially loves playing with his sister Dottie, so he would thrive in a home with a canine companion to keep him company and share in the fun. Scottie is expected to stay small as an adult, making him a perfect fit for many home types. If you’re looking for a lively, loving companion who’s equal parts cuddly and courageous, Scottie might just be your perfect match!

Story
These cute boys were born on May 13, 2021. They have always been together and we would like to rehome them to someone who will care for both of them. They are purebred and I can give their future owner all necessary papers. Han and Chewie are full of life and energy, however our busy schedule has not allowed us to give them the life they deserve. They are used to going on puppy pads while I am at work but would thrive better if they had more access to the outdoors. I do have a small puppy gate I can give, as well. I also have grooming supplies I am willing to sell at a small cost to any adopter who is interested.

Story
This dog was my neighbors who is elderly and couldn’t keep up with her being a senior dog with incontinence and being blind and deaf. So the neighbor put her and another dog outside in a kennel. The other dog has since passed away and I bargained to take this one home with me. Unfortunately I cannot keep her as I’m due to have a baby in less than a month and I live at my mother in laws with my 7 dogs and she would never let me take in another one. So for now this dog is being kept in the basement at my moms house but it’s no life for a dog. She does need to be looked at by a vet because I believe she has an eye and ear infection and that’s probably why she is blind and deaf. I also believe her teeth are bothering her. I can’t afford all of that right now. I’ve been calling her baby. Somebody please help me out. She’s already been in the basement for a few weeks now and she’s miserable. I need help

Story
Duke came to us in 2017 after a friend of a friend had full blooded shih tzu puppies that she wanted to get rid of. He is a great snuggle buddy! He loves sleeping with his people and being wherever they are. He is good with other dogs and cats. He is also good with older children. He can be kid selective with younger children. Hims a good boy and I’m sad to have him go to another home. But due to circumstances beyond my control I can no longer keep him with me. He deserves all the love in the world and I hope his next owners love him as much as I do.
