Pepper
Female, est DOB December 2023, Chihuahua Mix
Meet Princess Pepper, the pickiest, pluckiest, personality filled pup of them all!
Pepper is about 1-2 years old, about 15lbs, and a mix of chihuahua, fruit bat, and a few other unknown breeds.
Pepper came to us from a rural shelter where she was found on her own. We don't know much more about Pepper's story.
Pepper is a good dog. She is sweet, silly, and smart.
She loves to snuggle, and loves to make nests in blankets. She will give you kisses until you tell her to stop, and then she might just need to sneak a few more in anyway.She is very food motivated, and was quick to learn commands like "touch", "sit", and "crate". She would be a great candidate to teach tricks to! She also loves her ball, and will play fetch until your arm is starting to go numb.
Pepper is truly a great dog, and will make a great best friend for the right person.
However, Pepper is also a fearful dog.
This often comes out in the form of barking, vocalizing, moving away, and occasionally other tactics meant to scare people off. She wants to be friends, but she is nervous, and needs someone who understands that and is willing to work with her on this.
Addressing fearful stranger issues requires significant time and patience.
This will require a slower introduction process, and a person who wants to take the time to move at Pepper's pace, and who is committed to continuing her training.
Pepper has done well with the small dog in her foster home, so another dog might be a great way to help her confidence
(all dogs must do a meet and greet).
Pepper has done well with the cats in her foster home, but she does occasionally get the urge to chase them or nip when they get too close to her toys. A dog savvy cat should be fine.
Pepper is fully vetted, crate trained, house trained (with the occassional use of puppy pads), and knows basic leash and obedience skills.
The perfect home for Pepper would be an adults only home, with one or two adults, who are laid back and calm
(party people, we love you, but this isn't your girl).
An adopter who understands and has experience with Chihuahuas, or small breed dogs, is wonderful, but not required. Similarly, an adopter who has experience working with fearful or reactive dogs is a plus.
Most importantly, we are looking for an adopter who understands this will be a process that takes time, and is willing to put that time in.
If you think Pepper might be the girl for you, please apply!
Hail Mary
Female, est DOB February 2026, "Project Hail Mary" Litter
Meet Hail Mary!
An "oops" litter sailed into our orbit, and we couldn't let them fly by!
The sweetest and snuggliest, Hail Mary in the most likely to crawl up and demand cuddles from her foster family, both cat and human! When she's feeling energetic she loves to play with her siblings, chasing each other around and chasing her own tail constantly. She's the one most likely to be found hanging back from the action though, settling next to or with her foster parents but she's also quick to sneak around and pounce to get back in the game. She loves ear scritches and kicker toys!

Apollo
Male, est DOB March 2026, "Greek Gods" Litter
Meet Apollo!
We took this litter to help out a rescue partner working a heartbreaking hoarding case.
This little group came to us sniffly and skinny, and has grown into the sweetest bunch!
This adorable boy is named for Apollo, the twin brother of Artemis, and these two are indeed almost identical! Apollo, like his sister, are all black except for the tiniest spots of white on their chests. Together they look like a starry night sky!
Apollo was the sickest of the litter when they first came to their foster home, but he’s finally feeling better and coming out of his shell! He loves to play with his siblings, and he’s working on finally catching the wand toy before his sisters. He also loves treats from his people and is learning that pets and snuggles are actually pretty nice!
Apollo would love a home with older children as he continues coming out of his shell. He would make a great pair with Artemis or Athena.

Female, est DOB March 2026, "Greek Gods" Litter
Meet Artemis!
We took this litter to help out a rescue partner working a heartbreaking hoarding case.
This little group came to us sniffly and skinny, and has grown into the sweetest bunch!
“Party Arti” is the oldest of the Greek litter, as well as the bravest and most social of the bunch. She is always ready to explore, play, or be involved in whatever you’re doing. She loves everyone she meets, and she has no fear around people, other cats, or dogs!
She is named after both the goddess and the recent space flight that sent a crew around the moon. Artemis lives up to these names by being an excellent companion, a brave explorer, and an all-around clever girl.
She likes treats, playing with toys, and falling asleep on her people. She would be a great fit for any household, but would also make a perfect pair with any of her siblings!

Athena is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and her iconic helmet. While she is still working on accumulating the “wisdom” part, she definitely brings a balance to her litter and gets along well with everyone.
Athena is a delightful mix of cute, social, and playful. She loves to explore with Artemis, snuggle with Ares, and play with Apollo. She also loves hanging out with her people!
Athena would be a great fit for any home that has room for a sweet, supportive presence. She could be a perfect pair with any of her siblings.

Elliot
Male, est DOB May 2026
Meet Elliot!
Elliot was found outside by himself with a horrible URI. He came to us, where he has recovered and turned into a total wild child!
Eliot is a tiny terror, and he lets his foster siblings know that he is tiny but mighty! He has no fear and loves to roughhouse with his foster brothers despite his size. He's playful and full of sass, but he also loves to curl up and snuggle with his foster mom once he's tired out. He's really just a little baby at heart.

Benedict and Mitzi
BONDED PAIR
Male, est DOB April 2026, and female, est DOB May 2026
Meet Benedict & Mitzi!
Benedict was left on a college campus alone after his mom and sister were TNR'd. Mitzi was found all by herself.
Both of these kittens were shy orphans, but when we put them together, they started to blossom!
Benedict and Mitzi are a perfect pair! They both love to play, and they play hard! They will run and leap, followed by wrestling matches. When they're finally tired out, they love to snuggle up together in a comfy bed or a warm lap to snooze. Mitzi will often be found grooming her brother. Mitzi is a sassy, big personality in a tiny package. Benny is a big boy who is a huge baby at heart, and can be a little shy at first. When he's warmed up to you, he'll talk to you as he waits for his meals! We are looking for a more chill home with no young children, as these guys can get a little overwhelmed in a busy space.
While they aren't related, they are best friends, and truly bonded, and must be adopted together!
