Story
I may have to give tyrion to a better home due to having to leave for college. Tyrion was adopted after being on the street for the first year of his life. He is very misunderstood, he is an absolutely amazing and loving dog- he is dog reactive but he is selective, he gets along with his brother (black lab) but not his other brother (mix) he is good with people but does not like sudden movements and can be agitated by kids and other dogs easily. He does alright with cats and has never injured one. He doesnt like kids other people and animals in his face besides his primary owner, he can be very defensive and will guard his family. He is not a bad dog but he needs someone who understands him and his needs as a reactive dog. He is very anxious and has to be kenneled while you are gone, he will get into stuff if unsupervised and not taken care of.

Story
Meet Tommy! Hello, my name is Tommy! I’m a 6-month-old mix of Australian cattle dog, American Staffordshire terrier, and hound, weighing in at 16 pounds of pure joy and personality. I’m a lively, affectionate pup who loves meeting people of all ages and sizes, and I’ll always greet you with a wagging tail and plenty of kisses. I adore belly rubs, snuggling in laps, and spending quality time with my favorite humans. I’m at the perfect age to adopt since I’m still a puppy with playful energy but have already learned my basic commands like “no,” “off,” “sit,” and “wait.” I’m fully housebroken and past the nippy/teething stage, so I’m ready to settle into a loving home without the extra challenges of early puppyhood. I also get along wonderfully with cats, respecting their space and coexisting peacefully with them in my foster home. I thrive on companionship and enjoy playing chase, tug-of-war, and zooming around the yard with my brother, Timmy, and the older, bigger dogs in my foster home. Despite being the runt of my litter, I’m the leader when it comes to sibling adventures! When playtime is over, I’m all about cuddling—whether it’s on the couch, in a dog bed, or better yet, right in your lap. I sleep peacefully in my crate at night, waking up accident-free and ready to start the day. I’m a fast learner, especially when treats are involved, and I walk well on a leash, though I’d prefer the freedom of a fenced yard to run and explore. My personality is the perfect balance of playful and affectionate. I bring a lively energy to the home but know how to relax and enjoy quiet moments with my family. I’d make an amazing addition to any home looking for a loving, outgoing, and fun companion. If you’re ready to meet your new best friend, I can’t wait to fill your days with love, laughter, and plenty of snuggles. Could I be the one for you?

Story
Meet Dobby (formerly Acorn) Say hello to Dobby! This adorable 5-month-old pup earned his new name because of his uncanny resemblance to the beloved elf from Harry Potter. But don’t worry—this little guy doesn’t need socks to feel free—just a forever family to love him! Dobby is a sweet and well-behaved puppy who has made great strides with potty pad training and is learning to go outside, though he’s still working on being fully housebroken. He’s already mastered the “Sit” and “No” commands, proving he’s a quick learner. What makes Dobby extra special is his wonderful puppy manners. He doesn’t chew on furniture and is content with his toys and chewies. That said, he might be tempted by a cozy pair of slippers if given the chance! Dobby loves playing fetch with his foster parents and romping around outside with his four furry foster siblings. But his absolute favorite activity? Snuggling up for hours on end. He’s the ultimate cuddle companion, ready to warm your heart and lap. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and oh-so-adorable addition to your family, Dobby might just be your perfect match! 🐾 Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). .
