4. Goofy: Lovely Maltese

Goofy lives up to his name. He is a total goofball. He runs around in circles. He chases his tail. He tries to stand on his head. He’s very outgoing. He’s just a really friendly, lovable dog. He hasn’t met a person he doesn’t like. He’ll take all the attention you can give him. He is very food, motivated, eager to learn, good with dogs and enjoys being in the car.
He came from a loving home, but unfortunately, he was neglected, toward the end. When he came to us, he was in bad shape. He was covered in flea bites, covered in flea poop, covered in mats, filthy dirty, and his nails were so, so long. They probably hadn’t been cut in over 6 months. Learn More

8. Tova: 4-month-old Shih Tzu Puppy

9. Nyllah: 2-year-old Majestic Chow Chow

Nyllah is a 2 year old, 60-pound purebred Chow Chow with the looks of a majestic lion and the personality of a laid-back queen. She’s an independent, calm companion who enjoys the occasional game of chase or ball with kids but is just as happy lounging like a cat for most of the day. House-trained and furniture-friendly, Nyllah doesn’t jump, chew, or dig and has impeccable manners with other pets, including dogs and cats. While she may pull on the leash to sniff every blade of grass, her adorable squirrel-cries make up for it.
Living with five children, Nyllah has proven herself to be gentle and patient, never snapping or jumping. She’s shy with new men at first but warms up quickly, especially if you’re willing to hang out and enjoy her company. Not a velcro dog, Nyllah values her personal space but will sit beside you when she’s in the mood for affection.
