Story
Sparrow is a young, medium-sized mystery mix with one very important feature: the best wiggle we’ve ever seen. Her hips don’t lie. The moment Sparrow sees you, that little booty starts moving like it has somewhere to be! She may be a little reserved and unsure at first, but her tail and hips completely betray her. She can try to play it cool, but that happy little wiggle gives her away every single time.Sparrow is sweet, friendly, and good with other dogs. If you’re ready for a medium-sized companion with a sweet nature, Sparrow is your girl!

Story
Meet Chickadee! We’re not entirely sure what Chickadee is made of. Maybe Pittie? Maybe Boston Terrier? Maybe a little bit of “whatever was available in the genetics department”? Whatever the recipe, it resulted in one very cute, medium-sized mystery mix.Chickadee can be a little shy when she first meets you. Once she’s comfortable, she absolutely loves snuggling with her people. She’s been good with other dogs so far, and has a gentle nature. Chickadee is looking for a loving home that will give her the time she needs to come out of her shell and all the cuddles she deserves. Come meet this adorable little mystery mix and see if Chickadee is the missing piece of your family!
