🐾💕 Freya is STILL waiting for her forever home! 💕🐾
All six of Freya’s babies have found their families, but somehow this sweet mama is still waiting for hers. 🏡
Freya is around 70 lbs and is looking for an active home where she can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. 🎾🐶 She does well with other dogs and would especially enjoy having another active dog to play with!
She’s sweet, loving, and good with kids, but she’s still working on her manners—sometimes her excitement gets the best of her! ❤️
After everything Freya has been through, she deserves a family of her own. She wants nothing more than to be someone’s adventure buddy, best friend, and sidekick. 🐾💕
📩 Interested in Freya? Message us to receive an adoption application!
Please SHARE and help us find Freya the active, loving home she’s been waiting for! 🏡🐶

**** ALL 3 ADOPTED****

🐾 MEET PEARL, JADE & JET! 🐾

Pearl, Jade, and Jet are adorable 3-month-old Poodle/Chihuahua/Yorkie (our best guess...) mixes looking for their forever homes! ❤️

These playful, curious pups are at the perfect age to begin learning how to be great family companions.

🐶 Remember—puppies are a commitment! Their new families should be prepared for potty training, teething and chewing, basic training, socialization, and plenty of time and attention. Accidents and puppy mischief are all part of the process, so patience and consistency are a must!

❤️ Adopting a puppy is a lifetime commitment that includes continued training, routine veterinary care, and all the love and responsibility that comes with adding a new family member.

Think you're ready for puppyhood? Pearl, Jade, and Jet would love to meet you! 🐾💕

📍 Stop by the Shelby County Humane Society to meet them and fill out an adoption application or send us your email in messenger.

🏡 Please share and help us find their forever homes!
