Story

Meet Jessie from the Toy story litter. Jessie weighs 7lbs. She is 11 weeks old. UTD on vaccines and monthly preventatives. We are not sure everything she is mixed with. We know that her mom was only 23 lbs and is a Dachshund mix. We believe she will be a small - to medium-sized dog full grown. Jessie is very sweet and adventurous. She loves to explore new things and doesn't seem shy at all. She is very affectionate and playful and loves to play with other dogs and her toys. She really would make a great dog for any family. ❤️🐾 If you are interested in adopting her, please send us a message or fill out an application.

Story

This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
