Jingles

My name is Jingles and I am as sweet as they come! I am a petite little lady, weighing in at around 8 lbs. My foster mom says I am gorgeous. Cuddling, running and playing tug of war with my doggie friends are some of the things I love most. I am super fast and know how to dig my way under a fence so I need to be supervised in the yard. I know how to use a doggie door so unless you have a secure yard or are ready to go out with me, the doggie door should probably stay locked. When it is dinner time, I go straight to my crate. I will stay in my crate when you go out if you feel it is necessary and will even sleep in there. I must confess that I much prefer to sleep on your bed and keep your feet warm though.

Shrimp

My name is Shrimp (formerly known as Buddy). Since I weigh only 10 lbs, Shrimp is a pretty apt description. My foster mom says I am one loveable guy because I can't get enough of kissing, cuddling and lap time. I am fast on my feet and Houdini has nothing on me. A secure yard will be necessary as I am an escape artist! Nudism is my thing. No collars, leashes or harnesses for me. I prefer to go au natural. I am a bit strong-willed. I like to decide when I want attention and affection and whom I want it from. Please don't be presumptuous and pick me up or force your attentions upon me. Reward me for my positive behaviors (and there are many) but if I misbehave, ignore me rather than reprimanding. I really hate scoldings! Does anyone like to be scolded?

Handsome Jackson

This handsome old man is Jackson. Handsome Jackson is a 12 year old toy poodle who weighs 12 pounds. He is house trained and really mellow overall. He absolutely loves to lounge around the house on any couch, lap, or bed he can. He loves to be in the same room with his people-- he doesn't like to be left alone and will bark a bit if he doesn't know where you are. He would be a sweet companion for someone who is home a lot.

Millie

Millie is an 11-year-old, 13 lb Shih Tzu mix who has a gentle, loving temperament and is looking for a forever home.

Millie was picked up as a stray in really rough shape. After lots of TLC, she is doing well. She has a few medical issues that will require ongoing care. This includes chronic dry eyes (common to Shih Tzu's) and allergies. Millie requires daily eye drops and medication once a day for her skin allergies.

Chunk

Chunk is a 4-year old shy and lovable DSH tabby. He was found as a stray and loves nothing more than to be cuddled and given pets and belly rubs. He will happily plop over to show you his big belly while he blissfully makes air biscuits.

Chunk has yet to fully trust humans in his new indoor life but a sure way to win him over is to give him plenty of lap time. Although he loves to be pet and held closely, he is still quite shy and frightened and needs a patient adopter who is willing to make the first move.

Zane

Zane is a very good boy who was living outside but has adapted well to being indoors. He's enjoying regular meals, a warm safe place to sleep, and does not tire of receiving cheek scratches and pets. He's got a luxuriously soft coat that is a pleasure to pet. His favorite is being curry combed and melting into a puddle. He likes getting pets in between bites of his food and sometimes expresses his opinion about his food.
