Hi, my name is Zeus. King of the cuddle gods. Ruler of 4 am, Kisses. Protector of Hearts. ​ I love to give kisses and cuddle — it’s basically my full-time job. Benefits include unlimited love and the occasional belly rub bonus.

Carter is Cole’s opposite in all the best ways—outgoing, cheerful, and absolutely obsessed with water. Whether it’s a splash in the water bowl, a puddle, or a kiddie pool, Carter dives in like a little fish in a Shih Tzu suit. Carter and Cole must be adopted together.

Cole is the handsome jet-black Shih Tzu with deep black eyes, the “big brother” of the duo. A little more reserved by nature, he likes to check in with his brother, Carter, before making a move—especially first thing in the morning. Cole cand Carter must be adopted together.

Hi, my name is Orbit! ​​ I’m a sensitive soul — think poet, not party animal. I’m simply looking for love, lifelong companionship, and a calm home where we can enjoy the simple things… like cuddling, relaxing and maybe a snack break!

Hi, my name is Squid! ​ My previous owner was a professional dog trainer, which means I am trick certified, professionally trained, and what I like to call an AKC Professional Sweetheart. Yes, that’s a real title. (Okay, I gave it to myself… but it fits.)

Hi, my name is Autumn Skye! ​ I wasn’t always treated the way a queen should be. I was once neglected and overlooked. But plot twist: I did the inner work. I released what no longer serves me, completed my healing journey, and now I’m stepping boldly into my next chapter — preferably into your living room… and onto your couch.

Hello there! I'm Mr. Phelps, and I'm basically a canine prodigy—a master of all things, really. 

If you're wondering about my slightly dramatic backstory: yes, I was born with "swimmers' syndrome." But don't worry, it mostly just means I've perfected the art of the lazy, four-legged sprawl.

Hi, my name is Willow! Listen, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I’ve had a PAST. A dramatic, Oscar-worthy healing journey that I’m now moving on from. Think of me as the Meryl Streep of rescue dogs—a versatile professional focused on securing my furever home, which is essentially my early retirement plan.

Hi, I'm Charles: The CEO of My Own Past! Let’s be honest. When I first graced the halls of the rescue, I didn't strut—I stomped. I walked in like I owned the place, a whole grown man in a dog suit. Corrections? Guidance? Love with accountability? Hard pass. I was determined to be the misunderstood, lone wolf star of my own dramatic survival story. Then came "Mayor School." Strict, non-negotiable education that quickly released me from my CEO complex.
