Fozzie Bear

Meet Fozzie Bear! This sweet old guy (we think he's around 13 years old) weighs in at a whopping 7 pounds of adorable toy poodle. He is missing most of his teeth and a bit of his jaw, which doesn't bother him. He is very friendly and cuddly, and loves being held. He's active for a little old man, and fine with other dogs and kids.

Brandy

Brandy is a 16 year old Schipperke who weighs 16 lbs. She is sweet as pie and just wants lots of loving all day long. She is in good shape for her age and still enjoys walks, but she has limited hearing and vision.

Brandy came to us from a family who had her since she was a puppy but which unfortunately went through a divorce. She has been adjusting well here. We are not sure that she is housebroken or pee pad trained-- more information as we learn more about her.

Dojo

Dojo is a 2 year old chihuahua mix who weighs 13 pounds. He still has puppy energy and would do well with an energetic family. He played fetch with us for almost 30 minutes the other day! But once he settles in he's also happy to sleep at your feet. Dojo likes to follow his person everywhere.

Dojo loves other dogs-- he loves to play but is also respectful of senior dogs' space when they tell him they're not interested. He is food, toy, and people motivated. He is housebroken and settles nicely in his crate after a bit of whining and some barks. He still needs to polish his leash walking and approaching new people, but with a bit of positive reinforcement he should really blossom.

Precious Penny

Aptly named, Precious Penny is sweet and could fit in your pocket! If you've looked longingly at the meme of dogs in bags riding the NY subway, Precious Penny is your gal. She loves people so much her whole body wags, and she would fit in your large tote as she's only 35 pounds.

Though 7 years old, Penny still has the energy of a young dog. Long walks where she can sniff to her delight, and strolls along your quaint thoroughfare where she can look in every storefront window are equally wonderful to Penny.

Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am about 5 years old. I’m a 55 lb pittie mix (I think!) and really want to be your new best friend. I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, including heart worm and flea/tick and I’m already spayed.

I love to play and I have so much energy and really want to be on the trails, out running, or going on adventures! The couch might be my new favorite place when I'm in the house though! I’m okay with the other dogs that live in my foster home.

Rufus

Do you like big mutts with huge smiles? If so, I am your man! Weighing in at 85 lbs of love I am the largest lap dog you could ever hope to meet. Yep, you read that right! I just love to sit in my foster dad's lap. It was love at first sight for me.

At just 3 years old, I am in doggie adolescence. Like all adolescents I need patience and consistent training to mature into the awesome dog I am destined to be.

Tobey

Tobey is a 3 year old male chihuahua who is ready for his forever home! Tobey is about 20lbs, which is much too large for his little frame! His new owners will need to get him on a diet and exercise program quickly. This shouldn't be hard as Tobey LOVES being outside running around, hanging out with other dogs, and just being active in general.

Tobey is full house broken, but may mark in a new space. He loves to wander around while outside sniffing everything he can and marking it. He walks really well on a leash and is very easy to control. He can move pretty quickly for a big guy, so he will keep you on your toes.

Rockwell

Rockwell is a charming 2 year old marbled tabby who loves to snuggle just as much as he loves to play. He enjoys having conversations with his humans and being fed on time for each meal. In foster, Rockwell has been observed to be a very good boy that does not jump onto counters or help himself into cabinets.

Although an affectionate lap cat, Rockwell has a tendency to act frisky if pets are not on his terms. He will do best in a home without young children.

Mr. Boos

Hello! My name is Boos. I'm a 14 year old tuxedo cat... But don't let my age fool you! I still have a lot of pep in my step and lots of love to give.

I love to chase lasers, and I'll even tolerate the occasional costume. I'm a very chatty boy, and a purring machine!

I love to be picked up and cuddled, curl up next to you on the couch, or 'help out' if you're working on the computer. Wherever you are, that's where I want to be! My last owner was away a lot. I was very lonely! My 'purrfect' home would be with someone I can spend lots of time with. I haven't lived with any cat siblings before, but I'd probably be OK if we were properly introduced.

Miley

Miley is a 4 year old tabby whose owner passed away. This poor girl was living on her own with someone stopping by to check in on her so who can blame her for being a bit wary and unsure about whether she wants to be petted or left alone. Losing your purrson can do that to you, but we believe that given some time to get her self-confidence back, the inner Miley (who's as beautiful as the exterior Miley), will emerge.
