Featured Dog

Cielo was rescued from PR after Hurricane Maria. She was living on a chain with a squatter. Cielo is SUPER sweet and friendly to people of all ages. She LOVES to be pet & snuggle, and she gives the gentlest kisses. She is fully crate and house trained, she will even go to the door when she needs to potty! She will make an amazing family dog. Would not recommend she be placed in a home with cats or other dogs – she needs to be the only pup. She does have a little bit of happy tail when in a crate (her tail wags so furiously in her crate that it bleeds), but since she is house trained she doesn’t need to be crated in the home, so not a major issue! She just wants to be with her friends :)

Featured Cat

Gemini is a friendly, independent kitty with quite a personality! He loves attention almost as much as he loves treats. He is so treat motivated that he learned to sit for treats in just a matter of hours and could likely learn a lot more tricks! He loves attention on his own terms, so would likely do best with older children and adults who can understand his cues when he doesn’t want to be pet anymore. He does well with most cats and calm dogs but could also do well as a single kitty in the home.
