🍫😊 Nutella is a shy girl with the permanent smile that makes it look like she's constantly in on a joke nobody else heard.

At 2 years old, this Basenji mix can be a little nervous when meeting new people. In fact, she may spend the first few minutes acting like you're a highly suspicious government agent. 🕵️‍♀️ But through it all, that goofy grin never leaves her face, making it incredibly difficult to take her concerns seriously.

Once Nutella decides you're trustworthy, she's all sweetness, affection, and loyal best-friend energy. ❤️ She's the kind of dog who just needs a little time to realize that you're not, in fact, a threat to national security.

Nutella would prefer to be the only pet in her future home because she firmly believes all treats, attention, and couch privileges should be allocated directly to Nutella. It's a simple system, really. 👑🐾

If you're looking for a dog who's equal parts adorable, cautious, and unintentionally hilarious, Nutella is ready to smile her way right into your heart. 😊✨

Pancake 🥞 is an 8½-month-old Hound/Pit Bull mix who treats personal space like an optional feature and hugs like a full-contact sport. 💥🐾

He’s a playful, high-energy pup who needs an active home and a younger dog companion (1–4 years old) to match his wrestling-and-zoomies lifestyle. Senior dogs are not his vibe, and a fenced yard would be a big plus for his “must run now” moments. 💨

Smart and food-motivated 🍗, he already knows “sit” and is working on his leash manners. He can be a little unsure with new people at first, but once he warms up, he’s all-in on cuddles, loyalty, and glued-to-your-side affection. 🖤

Pancake is currently thriving in foster care and is ready for his next chapter. For more info or to set up a meet and greet, email [email protected] 🐶✨

Koby may be pint‑sized, but his personality is extra‑large. This 5½‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix knows exactly what he wants: to be your one and only at the center of your universe.

He’s a little spicy, a lot adorable, and loves affection strictly on his own terms. In a low‑traffic home with adults or teens 13+, he’ll shine. Bonus: he’s a dream houseguest. In his recent foster stay, he had perfect manners, rode great in the car, and even barked to let his humans know when he needed to go out. Iconic behavior.

Koby is currently living his best life in a foster home, so meet‑and‑greets are by appointment only.
If this charming, sassy little man sounds like your match, email [email protected] to set up a visit!

How can anyone resist these puppy dog eyes?! Just one look, and you'll fall in love with Holler!

This four-year-old fuzzy retriever mix has a tender heart and a shy soul. He's still learning how to feel confident in a world that can be a little overwhelming. He needs a calm, patient human to be his steady guide, someone who understands that sensitive dogs don’t bloom overnight, but when they do, it’s magic!

Holler may take a moment to warm up, but once he decides you’re safe, he leans in with the sweetest softness. And when he’s truly happy? Oh, he celebrates. We’re talking full‑body wiggles, joyful bounces, and his signature “happy dance” where he turns his dog bed into a trampoline and beams the biggest, goofiest puppy grin.

He’s met plenty of friendly dogs here, but he’s more of an introvert, happy to coexist, not necessarily play. He could potentially share a home with a calm, respectful female dog who’s content to just hang out. Holler is looking for a quiet home with kids 12+ where he can feel safe, decompress, and slowly build his confidence with someone who truly gets him.

If you’re the kind of person who sees those soulful eyes and thinks, “I can help you shine,” then Holler is ready to give you his whole heart!

Lola is a three-year-old sweetheart with the gentlest heart and the cutest little sensitive soul. New people and places can make her a bit shy at first, but give this lovely girl a little time, patience, and kindness, and you’ll watch her blossom into the most loyal companion.

Once Lola feels safe, her sweet personality starts to shine. She loves spending time with her doggy pals and enjoys playgroups, though she prefers a small circle of trusted friends rather than a big crowd. She’s a firm believer that the best friendships are the ones built with care!

Lola is looking for a calm, loving home that will let her settle in at her own pace. In return, she’ll reward you with endless loyalty, quiet affection, and a bond that’s truly special. 💕 If you’re willing to let her heart open on her timeline, Lola just might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for. 🐾✨

Pickles isn't shy about asking for attention—and honestly, with a face like that, he doesn't have to be. Some dogs walk into a room; Pickles prances into it with a grin on his face, a wag in his tail, and a paw raised in greeting!

This adorable 1-year-old Pit Bull mix is bursting with puppy charm, happy wiggles, and playful energy. In playgroup, Pickles loves romping with his female canine pals and does a great job matching their play style, making him an easygoing and fun companion for his furry friends.

Pickles walks nicely on leash, takes treats gently, loves offering his paw, and is eager to learn. He's at that wonderful age where he still has plenty of playful puppy energy while growing into an amazing lifelong companion.

If you're looking for a fun-loving pup who will keep you smiling, make you laugh, and shower you with affection, come meet Pickles. He's one sweet dill!
