Meet Lexus!

This sweet orange lady is a young adult, not quite two years old yet. She's also a petite bean at just under 8lbs and, as you can see from her photos, she's very tolerant of our shenanigans so her personality is obviously 5/5 stars.

Lexus is the hammiest ham to ever ham. She's attention-seeking, loves people, and just loves love in general. Kisses? Yep. Snuggles? Absolutely. Being carried around like baby? Of course. She's the definition of a velcro cat and is chatty and vocal enough to remind you (politely) when you're not giving her what she wants...which is more attention. She even taught her kittens how to scream for attention because she does it so often.

We can't promise that Lexus will be a lap cat, per se, because she doesn't restrict herself to just your lap. You might wake up to her curled up directly on your face. She's not picky as long as she's touching you somehow.

Obviously, Lexus does well with other cats. She would do well with children as long as they understand not to pull whiskers or tug on her tail. We can dog test her upon request but...I mean, she'll probably be fine.

Meet Crosby!

Crosby originally came to us as a teeny tiny eight week old puppy from Puerto Rico back in February. Unfortunately, his adopter is dealing with some very serious, life-altering health issues and we all agreed that it would be in Crosby's best interest to return to us.

Now ten months old, Crosby is a lab mix weighing in at just over 50lbs. He's a happy, confident, social puppy that clearly had a lot of time, work, and effort put into him because he is amazing! He knows his name and responds to it every time, has his commands down to a science, and gets along with just about everyone.

He does still need some work on his leash training but he's an excitable, curious puppy that tends to zigzag from one interesting thing to the next.

Crosby does well with other dogs, would do fine with cats, and we would be comfortable placing him with kids 5+ as long as the family has dog experience. His previous family had children and he adored them and kids that will play with him and get him bouncing around like the silly puppy he is would be perfect!

He is incredibly well socialized and loves making new friends. You could meet him for the first time and tell him that you're taking him on an adventure and he would be all for it! There isn't a shy bone in his body when it comes to people. He's a super outgoing, confident extrovert...the kind that people aspire to be.

Crosby would do well in pretty much any home as long as there's someone to play with, nap with, and get allllllll of the love from.

Meet Buzz!

This wild child is 5.5 months old and weighs about 30lbs at the moment but, with the way he's been eating and growing, it won't take him very long at all to start filling out.

Buzz is everything puppy. He either doesn't have a single thought behind those eyes or has so many thoughts that just ricochet off of each other which just results in zoomies. He needs basic training, especially leash training because he's all about crisscrossing and zigzagging and wrapping you up in his leash but it's just because he's so enthusiastic and excited about everything that he wants to be in a hundred places at once so he doesn't miss anything. Typical puppy things should be expected, like house training and teaching him not to chew on shoes and that hands aren't toys.

He's a very vocal pup that whines at just about everything, especially when he's happy to see you. Literally no one will be happier to see you than Buzz will be. Weirdly enough, he has no interest in toys beyond tennis balls and much prefers following around his people to see what they're up to.

We're looking for an adult only home with no cats. Ideally, his perfect family will have dog experience, especially with training silly, unruly puppies who have the attention span of a flea. He does well with other dogs, especially females, and is all happy slaps and play bows with big wags and crazy wiggle butts.

Since he is a restricted breed, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.

***REDUCED ADOPTION FEE***

Meet Peanut!

Are you in the market for a teeny tiny senior lady? Peanut is twelve years old, less than 10lbs, and ready to be your best friend!

This little lady is excellent on a leash, mainly because she's only 8.5lbs and can't pull too much even if she tries. She doesn't zigzag or dart underfoot and just kind of prances alongside you like a little show pony. Don't let her age fool you because she definitely still enjoys her walks and her outside time...and if she gets tired, she's little enough that you can just scoop her up and carry her the rest of the way anyway!

She's not very interested in toys or treats and much prefers people over pretty much anything else. She's definitely an attention-seeker and loves being pet and pampered. She does just fine with other dogs and with cats. We would prefer older kids just because she's a tiny fragile bean. She hasn't shown to be much of a barker here but that could always change once she's comfortable in her new home.

Despite her age, she's in very good health aside from some mild dental tartar and a collapsing trachea. As of now, there is nothing to be done for her collapsing trachea aside from keeping her stress and activity levels low-moderate, avoiding irritants like smoke/heavy fragrances, and walking her on a harness instead of a leash. She may require medication or further care in regards to her trachea down the line but for now, she just needs to be monitored.
