Animal Fix

Fisher is a 5-month-old male wire-haired terrier mix with a scruffy coat and a heart full of love. Weighing in at 23 pounds, he’s the perfect size for anyone looking for a small-to-medium pup.

Fisher’s journey to us wasn’t his fault—his previous owner had to surrender him after an unfortunate injury made caring for an energetic puppy too difficult. Now, this adorable little guy is ready for a fresh start in a forever home where he can thrive.

Fisher has all the playful energy and curiosity you’d expect from a puppy, but he’s also at the perfect age to start learning the ropes of family life. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is eager to find a loving family who will help him grow into the amazing companion he’s meant to be.

Whether you’re looking for a buddy to cuddle with, play with, or train together, Fisher is ready to fill your home with joy and love. Don’t miss out on this scruffy sweetheart—he’s waiting to meet you!

Could Fisher be the one for you?

Meet Pinky!
Male, DSH, approx. 4 years old

Pinky is ready to chill out with you. He loves being in a routine, particularly one that involves naps, time looking out the window, wand toys, and eventually cuddles. He’ll happily spend most of the day lounging and supervising any outside activities, broken up with some playtime, of course. Pinky can be a pretty shy guy and appreciates a calmer environment; after all, he likes to prioritize his rest and guard kitty duties.

Once Pinky warms up to his environment, he becomes quite the lap cat! He particularly enjoys cuddles in the evening and during the night, and he loves being pet at almost any time of day. Pinky’s love language is showing you his belly—and it’s not a trap! He wants belly rubs, back rubs, head rubs, and don’t forget the kisses!

Pinky is on a special urinary care diet to help prevent urinary infections, which keeps him healthy and feeling his best. He’s doing great on this diet and is ready to bring his laid-back, loving energy to a forever home.
