Hi, Iām Pretty Penny ā a sweet, shy, and gentle girl whoās still learning the world is safe. I may take a little time to warm up, but Iām getting braver every day. Once I trust you, Iāll quietly follow you around and settle into cozy spots where I feel secure. Iāve met multiple dogs and done well with them, though I prefer polite dog friends who respect my space. I havenāt met children or cats yet. Iām crate trained, sleep through the night, and often choose my crate as my safe place. I do need to be crated when left alone, but Iām low-energy and do well with a steady routine. Iām improving on leash and enjoy short walks, backyard sniffing time, and relaxing at home. Iām a quiet beagle, a gentle lounge pup with big adorable ears and a soft heart. I love Milk Bones, chicken chews, and crinkly stuffies. I do have Lyme disease, but it doesnāt seem to bother me, and my rescue is monitoring and treating it as advised. My ideal home is patient, loving, and kind ā one that gives me safety, routine, and gentle encouragement as I continue to blossom. If youāre looking for a sweet little shadow whoās slowly opening her heart, I might be your Pretty Penny.

Hey, Iām Hero ā also known as Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie (I answer to them all). Iām about three years old and finally learning how to just be a dog. Iām fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and Iām honestly a pretty chill guy who loves routine and being close to my people. I know my commands ā sit, come, down, leave it, letās go, place, and shake ā and I thrive with positive reinforcement, structure, and clear boundaries. Walks, training, puzzles, and fenced-in yard time keep my smart brain happy. Iām deeply loyal and affectionate once I trust you.To be successful, I need to be the only animal in the home. Iāve shown resource guarding and reactivity with other pets, so a calm, predictable environment without other animals is best. Iām also not a fit for homes with children under 15.
Iām not a ātake me everywhereā dog ā Iām a ride-or-die companion for the right, experienced and patient adopter who will respect my boundaries. In return, Iāll give you unwavering loyalty and love. Iām eligible for Cause for Caninesā Trial Adoption Program so approved adopters can get to know me at home before making it official.

Hi, Iām Miss Scarlett! Iām a loving, happy, high-energy girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. Iām always ready for fun, whether that means playing outside with balls and frisbees, going for walks, chewing on bones, cuddling with stuffed animals, or soaking up all the attention I can get. Iām house trained, crate trained, and walk well on a leash. Iām also great with kids and enjoy being part of the family. I do get along with some dogs, (better with male dogs), but I would be happiest as the only dog in the home so I can enjoy all the love and attention from my people. Cats are not for me. Iām looking for an active family who can keep up with my playful side and give me plenty of exercise, walks, and time outside. After Iāve had my fun, Iām more than happy to turn into a total cuddle baby. I love treats of all kinds, toys, balls, frisbees, stuffed animals, bones, walks, playtime, and snuggles. If youāre looking for the best all-around happy gal ā energetic, affectionate, loyal, and full of love ā I might just be your girl.
