Wylina’s Waiting for Santa… and Maybe You Too! 🎄❤️

Wylina is a 3-year-old sweetheart who lives for belly rubs, head scratches, and curling up next to you for snuggles. She’s playful and affectionate, with a tail that never stops wagging and a heart full of love. Whether she’s chasing toys, showing off her “sit” and “down” skills, or gently leaning into you for cuddles, Wylina is always ready to brighten your day.

🎁 Wylina’s Winter Wonders:
•Knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “down”
•Loves toys, especially squeaky ones and rope games
•Enjoys belly rubs, kisses, and curling up next to you
•Great on leash and polite around other dogs and people
•A+ pup cup manners and a heart-melting smile

Wylina may be a little picky about her doggie friends, but with people? She’s a total lovebug. She even made fast friends with a 9-year-old girl on her Adventure Tail outing, snuggling up like they’d known each other forever. 💕

Choco’s Holiday Wish: A Home for the Holidays! 🎁✨

If you’re dreaming of a warm, fuzzy Christmas, look no further—Choco is here to make your holidays merry and bright! This sweet 4-year-old pup arrived at the shelter in July and has been patiently waiting for someone to see just how special he is.

From the moment you meet him, Choco’s joyful “happy taps” and wiggly tail will melt your heart. He’s a pro at fetch, loves squeaky toys, and gives the kind of hugs that make you forget the cold outside. He’s a gentle soul who thrives on affection—he’ll climb into your lap, rest his head on your shoulder, and shower you with kisses.

🎄 Choco’s Holiday Highlights:
•Knows “sit” and takes treats like a gentleman
•Loves to play fetch and tug-of-war (with adorable growly commentary!)
•Walks well on leash and is polite around other dogs and people
•A+ snuggler who will happily cuddle on a bench, a ramp, or your lap

He’s a resilient, loving pup who’s ready to leave the shelter behind and start a new chapter with a family who’ll cherish him.

Wocka Wocka! Meet Fozzy – Our Fuzzy Holiday Comedian! 🐾

If you’re looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts snuggly and silly, Fozzy is your guy! This lovable pup arrived at the shelter in October and has been charming everyone with his goofy antics and big heart ever since.

Much like his namesake, Fozzy Bear, our Fozzy is a natural entertainer. He’ll chase a toy with gusto, then forget what he was doing and come back for cuddles instead.

🎁 Fozzy’s Holiday Highlights:
•Knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” “lay down,” and “drop it”
•Loves fetch, treats, and whipped cream on a frisbee (yes, really!)
•Affectionate lap dog vibes—he’ll lean in for pets and give gentle nudges for more
•Smart, sweet, and learning fast (he mastered the doggy door in one day!)
•A bit shy at first, but warms up quickly and becomes your biggest fan

Fozzy is still a young pup, and the shelter environment has him feeling a little stressed. He’s ready to trade his kennel for a cozy couch, a loving family, and maybe even a few holiday cookies (dog-safe, of course!). 🎅🍪

Foster Feature Friday: Lily – The Gift You’ve Been Waiting For! 🎁 🐾🎄

If you’re dreaming of a calm, cuddly companion to share your holiday season with, look no further—Lily is ready to be your greatest gift. 🎁

This 6-year-old sweetheart was surrendered in July, but she’s been thriving in foster care and proving every day that she’s the total package. Her foster calls her a 5-star dog and says she’s “going to make someone SO HAPPY!” 💛

🎅 Lily’s Holiday Highlights:
•Potty, crate, and leash trained—she’s got her manners down!
•Walks like a dream—perfect for holiday strolls under twinkling lights
•Calm, quiet, and cuddly—the ultimate snuggle buddy for chilly nights
•Great with kids—she was a perfect angel at Thanksgiving with 18 guests!
•Knows “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” and “place”
•Prefers to be your one-and-only pet (no cats or small dogs, please!)

🎄 This holiday season, make room under your tree—and in your heart—for Lily. She’s ready to be your best friend, your workout buddy, and your snuggle partner for seasons to come.

Meet Ally – Our Holiday Angel! ✨🎄

Ally arrived at the shelter as a stray in August, and while she’s been patiently waiting for her second chance, the kennel life is starting to wear on her. This dainty girl is showing signs of stress, and we know she’d thrive in a loving home where she can truly shine.

Despite her tough start, Ally’s heart is full of love. She’s incredibly affectionate, always seeking out snuggles and pets from staff and volunteers. Whether she’s gently resting her chin on your lap or sitting politely for treats, Ally’s sweet nature is impossible to resist. She’s tolerant of other dogs in playgroups, walks beautifully on leash, and is a pro at giving the softest kisses. 💕

This holiday season, Ally’s biggest wish isn’t for toys or treats—it’s for a warm home, a cozy bed, and someone to love her as much as she’ll love them. Could that someone be you?
