💙AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💙

Meet Rocky ❤️

Rocky is a seven year old Border Collie/Dachshund/Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Cocker Spaniel mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart!

This sweet guy absolutely adores his people. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, getting belly rubs or simply being close to his humans, Rocky is happiest when he’s part of the action.

He’s incredibly smart and loves learning new things. Rocky has recently discovered agility and is having a blast showing off his skills! He enjoys activities that keep both his body and mind busy, including walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and training games.

Rocky is a quick learner and thrives with positive guidance and routine. He is great on leash, but can be reactive when he sees larger dogs.

Rocky can become anxious when left alone for long periods. Because of this, he would do best in a home where someone is around much of the time or can continue helping him build confidence and independence at his own pace. He bonds deeply with his people and will reward that love with endless loyalty and affection.

💚 Smart and eager to learn
💚 Loves agility, walks, and games
💚 Fully housebroken
💚 Affectionate and cuddly
💚 Gentle, playful, and loving

💛 Thrives with routine and reassurance

💛 Would love a home where someone is around often

Meet Ivy & Quill - A Package Deal Worth Every Penny

Some things in life are just better together, and Ivy and Quill are proof of that. This bonded dachshund duo — Ivy, a 4-year-old longhaired beauty, and Quill, a charming 7-year-old gentleman, are looking for a forever home where they come as a pair. Spoiler: once you meet them, you won't want it any other way.

Quill is friendly, eager to please, and has perfected the art of the paw tap to get your attention. Laptop open? Paw. Reading a book? Paw. He's not asking for much, just your love, preferably at all times. Ivy is quieter and takes a little longer to warm up, but once she does, she's pure devotion. Her love languages are belly rubs and a good bone to chew and when a ball comes out, don't let her reserved nature fool you, she's right in there competing with the best of them.

Together they love walks, backyard ball sessions, and cuddling up wherever you are. Both are house trained, crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats. They do best in a calm, quieter home where someone is around most of the time, and a house with a yard suits them better than an apartment or condo.
Like many bonded pairs, they can show a little separation anxiety at first, but they settle quickly once they feel safe and loved. And with each other by their side, they're never truly alone.

If you've got a warm lap, a cozy couch, and room in your heart for two, Ivy and Quill are ready to be your most devoted companions.

💚 Love walks
💚 Excellent cuddlers
💚 Playful, loving, gentle
💛 Working on confidence
💛 Ivy is timid and can take time to warm up
💛 Prefer to have someone home most of the time
❤️ Some separation anxiety
❤️ Can be vocal when left alone
