🐾 Big personality. Big husky energy. Meet Jinx! 🐾

This sweet girl is playful, social, affectionate, and ALWAYS ready to be part of the action. She loves people, loves other dogs, and when the zoomies are over, she’s all about the snuggles. 🥹

Jinx is recovering from a healed front-foot fracture and has a slight limp from some lingering muscle weakness - but don’t tell her that. 😂 This girl runs, plays, and keeps up with puppy life like a champ!

Like any good husky, Jinx is smart, energetic, curious, and occasionally has an opinion or two. 😉 She’s looking for a family who understands the breed and is ready for plenty of exercise, enrichment, training, and LOVE.

If you're looking for a fun-loving husky who will keep you laughing and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Jinx is your girl. ❤️

Meet Regina! 🐾💖

Sweet, patient, and total couch-nap royalty, Regina is looking for her forever home! She’s the perfect balance of calm cuddle buddy and goofy, playful soul.

Here are a few reasons you’ll fall head over heels for Regina: ✨ Smart cookie: Already knows “sit” and “paw,” takes treats super gently, and loves interactive enrichment (lick mats & bones are her jam!). 🎀 Fashion icon: Doesn’t mind a little dress-up fun and loves sunbathing in a secure yard. 🐱 Cat approved: Perfectly fine living alongside feline friends! 🚗 Great co-pilot: Enjoys gentle car rides and quality indoor downtime. 🛋️ 7-Day Trial: She is eligible for the "Test the Couch" program, so you can see how perfectly she fits into your home before committing!

A quick note: Regina is working on her leash manners (she likes to plop down when adjusting to new surroundings!) and has managed allergies with special food/meds. With a patient human who loves a sweet, quirky pup, she will truly shine.

Meet Pharo! 🐾 This brainy, brave, athletic pup is looking for a forever home where he can be part of the action, always. 💛

Pharo is house- and crate-trained, loves being held, and absolutely thrives on praise, treats, playtime, and anything that keeps his clever brain busy. He’s a playful little parkour expert who would happily join you for adventures, then claim the best spot for a snuggle. 🥰

He enjoys other dogs and older kids, but he’d love to be your one-and-only pup so he can soak up all the attention.

Pharo is healthy, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and will be neutered prior to adoption. He’s ready to bring some energy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to his forever family. 🐶

🐾 A tiny chip can make a HUGE difference.

Recently, our sweet foster Mikah got out of the dog park. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan found her, took the time to have her scanned for a microchip, and because of that chip, Mikah made it safely back to us. 🩷

It’s the kind of situation every dog owner hopes they’ll never experience—but accidents happen. Gates get left open, leashes slip, dogs get spooked, and sometimes they’re gone before you even realize what happened.

That’s why microchipping matters. A collar or tag can fall off, but a registered microchip gives shelters, rescues, veterinary offices, and animal control another way to identify your dog and contact you.

✨ Microchip your pets. Keep the registration information up to date. And if you ever find a lost dog, have them scanned.

Someone doing exactly that helped bring Mikah home. 🥹🐾

Small chip. Big impact. Safe reunion. 🏡💗

🐾 MEET COOPER & PARKER — A BONDED SENIOR DUO LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOME! 🏡❤️

Two best friends. Two sweet old souls. One forever home. 🥹

Parker is the comedian and certified “Velcro Pup” of the pair. He wants to be wherever his people are—preferably snuggled right beside them. One of his sweetest habits? Every time his family comes home, Parker greets them at the door with a toy in his mouth. 🧸 He’s affectionate, goofy, loyal, and always ready to make you laugh.

Cooper is the gentle, happy-go-lucky half of the duo. He loves leisurely walks, exploring the yard, hanging out with his humans, and—perhaps most importantly—TREATS. 😂 His foster family describes him as one of the sweetest dogs they’ve ever met. He’s patient with other dogs and has done wonderfully with smaller canine friends.

But their favorite thing of all? Each other. ❤️

Cooper and Parker have spent their lives side by side, and we’re committed to keeping it that way. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They’re both neutered, know when to go outside, and would benefit from a consistent potty schedule as seniors. Parker can get a little overexcited when first meeting other dogs, but with some time to settle, he enjoys canine companionship.

These boys aren’t asking for much—just a soft place to land, humans to love, some leisurely adventures, and a home where they can spend their golden years together. 🥹

If you have room in your home for two, Cooper & Parker have more than enough love to fill it. 🐾❤️

🎷 Meet Jazz - she’s got the rhythm, the zoomies, and the sweetest melody. 🐾💕

This girl is ready to find her forever home, and she’s bringing plenty of personality along for the ride. Jazz loves backyard adventures, playing chase with her dog friends, and, when the music dies down, curling up for some serious snuggles. 🥹

She’s housetrained, crate trained, food-motivated, and eager to please. And while she may not be much of a swimmer, she’s definitely a splash of fun everywhere else!

Jazz would love a fenced yard and would be thrilled to have a canine playmate to join her zoomie sessions. 🎶🐶

Ready to make Jazz the newest member of your family? Let’s get this girl her forever home!

🐾 Meet Penny: Professional Cuddler, Side-Eye Specialist & Wheelchair Queen. 👑

Penny may do life a little differently, but she certainly doesn’t let that stop her! This 4-year-old Dachshund mix loves wheelchair adventures, car rides, and most importantly… being wherever her people are. 💕

Once Penny decides you’re worthy of her inner circle, prepare yourself for a full-time Stage 5 Clinger. Couch? She’s there. Bed? Obviously. You left the room for 30 seconds? She has questions. 😂

Penny is dog-friendly with slow introductions, lives happily with a cat, and is incredibly easy to care for once you learn her bladder and potty routine.

She’s looking for someone who can give her patience, a little extra care, lots of adventures, and ALL the cuddles.

Penny doesn’t see herself as “special needs.” She sees herself as a little dog with wheels, a big personality, and a very important job: loving her person. 🐶💕
