William

Male - Cattlepoo/Aussie mix - 10 weeks old

Meet William who is as lovable as he is adorable! This sweet little guy is full of puppy charm and has a special talent for chasing leaves as they blow across the yard. Who needs expensive toys when nature provides endless entertainment? William is dog-friendly and would absolutely love a home with another pup to play with, learn from, and grow alongside. He's already making great progress with potty training, but like any young puppy, he'll need a family committed to continuing his training, providing structure, and helping him become the best boy he can be. William is currently in a foster home, so if you'd like to be considered for adoption, be sure to email your application! We have a feeling this adorable little guy won't be with us for long!

Ziggy

Male - Chihuahua mix - 9 months old

Ziggy is looking for a very special adopter.

We recently learned that our sweet little Ziggy is blind. While this wasn’t the news we were hoping for, it has helped us better understand the shy, skittish little guy. He has abnormal optic discs, so his pupils don’t dilate when the light changes. He can still see shadows, but that’s about it... Because he cannot see well, new people and unfamiliar surroundings can be scary for him. He may startle easily and needs time to feel safe and learn his surroundings.

In his foster home, he loves exploring the yard, playing and wrestling with his foster siblings, and curling up next to his foster mama when it’s time to relax. His foster family has gotten to see the sweet, playful pup underneath all that uncertainty. He does great in the car too!

We are looking for a patient adopter who will allow Ziggy to adjust at his own pace. He does wonderfully with his foster family’s dogs, and another confident canine companion could be a great source of comfort for him. He is also good with cats!

Ziggy may need some extra accommodations, patience, and guidance throughout his life, but special needs certainly doesn’t mean any less deserving!!

If you have experience with special-needs dogs (or simply have the patience and commitment to learn alongside him) Ziggy would love to find his forever home

Chester

Male - Chihuahua mix - 12 years old

Life is best(er) with Chester! He is looking for his forever family. Sadly, his mom could no longer care for him and had to make the difficult decision to surrender Chester. Luckily, Chester is in a foster home with one of our volunteers and he is doing great. He is house-trained, he does well with the cats and dogs in the home, and he loves going on car rides!

Chester understandably has some anxiety with all the changes he has been through, but everyday he is getting better and better. He just needs someone willing to give him time, patience, and love in his golden years. Chester would do best in a quiet home with no small kids. If you think you could be Chester’s forever person, apply online today to give this sweet senior the second chance he deserves.
