Meet Frodo (or Fitzg

Meet Frodo (or Fitzgerald)! 🐾✨

This handsome Great Dane mix is a happy, high-energy pup who is ready to find his forever family! Here’s everything you need to know about this loving guy:

The Basics: 1 year old | Great Dane Mix | Friendly, happy, and energetic

House Manners: Fully kennel trained and an incredible eater (which makes training with treats an absolute breeze!).

Personality & Social Life: Very well-socialized! He lives with a foster mom who offers in-home boarding, so he thrives around constant activity, meeting new people, and playing with dogs of all sizes and breeds. He does his best greetings outside in open spaces, shows great submissive cues, and respects appropriate corrections from older dogs.

His Ideal Home

Active Lifestyle: Frodo would love a fenced-in yard, or an adventurous adopter who wants a partner for hikes, day trips, and exploring new places.

Structure & Leadership: As a young, energetic boy, he needs solid leadership and a consistent routine across the whole household. When he gets a bit overstimulated, clear guidance helps him recenter and refocus.

Kid Guidance: Best in a home without very young children—he's still growing into his big body, occasionally uncoordinated, and finds toddler energy a bit confusing. However, older kids who are excited to join in on his training are a great fit!

If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion to make a major part of your daily routine and active adventures, Frodo is ready to meet you!

Meet Amy, a gentle g

Meet Amy, a gentle girl whose soft, expressive eyes tell you everything you need to know about her heart.

Amy is the ultimate sensitive soul. She thrives on close connections, happy to spend her day right by your side offering quiet, steady companionship. When it’s time to wind down, her true personality shines: she loves nothing more than burrowing deep under her favorite blanket, leaving just her nose poking out to make sure you're still nearby. It’s as cozy and charming as it sounds.

Why Amy Will Steal Your Heart

The Ultimate Co-Pilot: She loves hop-in-and-go car rides and is always up for a peaceful adventure.

Smart & Polite: Amy is fully house-trained, knows "sit" and "stay," and walks like a dream on a leash. She even met a foster cat and politely minded her own business!

A True Sweetheart: She forms deep, meaningful bonds and is incredibly eager to please the people she trusts.

Her Ideal Forever Home
Because Amy can be a bit of a wallflower, she is looking for a gentle, patient home that lets her blossom at her own pace. Loud, sudden noises can intimidate her, and she is working on her confidence around other dogs with great success.

To help her thrive, Amy is looking for:
- A calm, loving environment (a single-family home preferred to limit unexpected noises).
- Patient adopters who will offer positive guidance as she continues building her confidence.
- A place where she can be the center of your world as a cherished companion.

Give Amy a little time to feel secure, and she will reward you with unwavering loyalty, deep trust, and the sweetest snuggles imaginable.
