Rosie is sweet but a bit shy. She would be perfect for someone that is looking for a furry friend to just hang out with and doesnt expect much from her.

Radley is currently in foster but is looking for that special place to call his own. While he is still a puppy with a crazy amount of energy some times, he can still be a love bug. He gets along with dogs and cats(even if the foster kitty disagrees) 

He is leanring to walk on a leash really well, he is doing good with his potty traning. Radley came into our care with a fractured back leg that has now healed after some crate rest and the amazing fosters that care for him daily. 

Meet Sage, a spirited 5-month-old Belgian Malinois from her dedicated foster home, whose bright eyes and boundless energy reflect a life just beginning to bloom. With her sleek coat and alert expression, she carries the unmistakable presence of her remarkable breed, paired with a playful charm that draws people right in.

Sage is currently thriving in a caring foster environment where she is learning the ropes through positive reinforcement and consistent training. She is a quick study who enjoys having a job to do, and her eagerness to learn makes every training session feel like a shared adventure. Like many Belgian Malinois, she is an active and intelligent girl who needs both physical exercise and mental enrichment to feel her best. Puzzle toys, structured play, and training games are right up her alley.

She is compatible with other dogs and enjoys their company, often engaging in playful interactions that show off her joyful spirit. At this time, her compatibility with cats and children is still being explored, so thoughtful introductions and guidance will help her continue building confidence in new situations.

Sage is up to date on her vaccines and has a spay appointment pending, showing that her care team is committed to supporting her health as she grows. She would do well with a guardian who is familiar with the Belgian Malinois breed or someone ready to learn about their unique needs. Her ideal day includes activity, connection, and opportunities to use her sharp mind.

One of Sage’s most endearing quirks is how she tilts her head when listening, as if she is carefully considering every word. She brings enthusiasm to every moment, whether she is exploring her surroundings or settling in after a fulfilling day.

If you are ready to welcome an energetic, intelligent companion into your life, Sage is ready to meet you. 

Meet Bella and Baby Girl, a charming bonded pair of Chihuahuas aged 6 years and 1 month and 10 years and 1 month, whose tiny paws carry a lifetime of love, loyalty, and delightful personality. These two girls share a beautiful connection and are looking to continue their journey side by side in a new loving home filled with patience, warmth, and understanding.

Bella, the lovely tan Chihuahua, is a gentle soul who takes a little time to feel safe, but once she realizes she is in a caring environment, her sweetness truly shines. She is the kind of companion who forms deep, meaningful bonds and will quietly stay close, offering soft affection and trust to her chosen people. Watching Bella come out of her shell is a rewarding experience, especially for a patient guardian who understands that love sometimes grows at its own pace.

Baby Girl, her chocolate and white counterpart, brings a bright and bubbly energy to the duo. She is as friendly as can be, greeting life with an open heart and a wagging tail. Her love for treats makes her wonderfully food motivated, which can be a fun and effective way to continue her learning journey through positive reinforcement. She adds a cheerful spark to every moment and helps encourage Bella along the way.

Together, they create a balanced and heartwarming companionship filled with both quiet connection and playful charm. They would thrive in a caring environment where their bond is honored and where Bella can continue building confidence while Baby Girl shares her joyful spirit.

These girls offer a special kind of love that only a bonded pair can bring, doubling the companionship and the memorable moments. If you are ready to welcome two devoted little companions into your life, reach out to us to learn more. Could Bella and Baby Girl be the sweet duo to complete your family?
