Everyone *loves* Hannah!
She’s a sweetheart senior who just wants someone to cheer her on while she eats.
No, really — you have to sit with her & pet her and tell her she’s amazing & THEN she will finally start eating 🥹

We don't know Salad's history living with other dogs since he was found stray, but his finder shared he did very well with their own pups, so we think he'd do well with a dog who matches his energy.
(He has a doggy cold at the moment, so he'd need his own space to start!)

He’s a playful little ham who sometimes gets a bit over the top when partying.

If you're a lover of minimalist Scandinavian design vibes, this is your moment!
Bingo can still have toys (& loves them!), they just need to be safe for him 💛
Because he loves people so much, he'll thrive in a home with someone who WFH or a household with staggered schedules.

Unfortunately, our buddy came here to do 2 things: party with his people & eat things he shouldn't.
Bingo has PICA, which means he tries to eat things like fabric, cords, rubber, plastic & other household items that are not digestible but are, tragically, very chewable.

Got a lap? He’s in it.
A shoulder? He’s on it.
A bad day? He’ll fix it with a headbutt & a deeply uncoordinated toy attack.
He’s goofy, sweet & fully committed to the bit — whatever the bit is 😆

He’s the kind of social boy who will follow you around the house & weave between your legs, sit beside you while you eat, and request pets during his own mealtimes.
He can get a little spicy when he’s over-excited, so he’ll thrive best with older kiddos and adults.
