Rufus is like that goofy friend of yours who is always cracking you up and whose zest for life is contagious!

This handsome tall drink of eggnog is Rio! His interests include fetch, swimming, fetch, treats, fetch, and gently leaning into your leg for pets while you’re baking cookies. We should also mention that he loves playing fetch and will regularly do leaps and flips in the air trying to catch the ball.

Rio is a big guy, but he is very easy to walk on leash and enjoys going on a nice quiet walk around the neighborhood, taking in all the sights and smells while staying by your side at a nice pace. He’s also a smart pup who sits politely for treats and knows plenty of skills. Rio is a loving friend, easy to please and he’s more than ready to move on to his forever home where he would be the only pup in a low-key house or first floor apartment.

Spartacus is a doofus of a dog with beautiful hazel eyes, super soft fur, a smooshy face and wrinkles and rolls for days. He was neglected in his younger years, so he demands to be played with and loved as often as possible. This big mystical boy will happily dress up as Santa Paws if you grant his Christmas wish of adopting him!

Spartacus walks nicely on leash, knows sit and shake, is fully house-trained, and while he’s not a fan of crates, he does fine left home alone uncrated. Spartacus is very sweet with people and loves being the center of attention. He can make quite a ruckus when he’s in play mode, so he’d do best in a house where the shaking walls won’t disturb the neighbors!

This one-of-a-kind dreamy guy has his toys packed and is ready to go to a home with an adult human or two, where he can be their taste-tester and snuggle buddy. If this wrinkly guy catches your eye, take a look at his web profile to find out more.

If you’re an active person looking for a running buddy to burn off all of the Halloween candy you’ve consumed, Zydeco is the one for you!

He also LOVES toys and can entertain himself with them if he can’t talk you into a game of fetch or tug of war. This exuberant pup just has so much love for life and he can’t wait to become part of yours!

Zydeco would thrive in a lower traffic, adult-only home with a yard and an active owner who enjoys spending their days lounging around the house in between walks and runs. We also believe he would be best as your one-and-only pet, but with Zydeco in your life, you couldn’t possibly need much more!
