This sweet girl plays like a linebacker - not a lot of finesse, but a ton of enthusiasm! She happily kicks and bats her toys around, chasing after them to pounce on like she’s tackling the quarterback.
Touchdown is an independent big personality. She's not particularly cuddly or a lap cat. She prefers initiating contact and will tell you when she’s had enough. She’s happy enough to climb into your lap when she wants a nap, but only when it’s convenient for her.
She loves treats, and that is one of the best ways to win her over. She loves crunchy treats and will show off all her football skills to get one!
If an athletic, smart, and food motivated girl will help complete your family’s roster, come meet Touchdown today!

Tahoe is quick to settle into a routine. He’s house-trained and knows basic commands like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and “watch me.” He’s also very treat-motivated - especially for hot dogs - and responds well to training sessions. He enjoys a game of fetch and engages playfully with toys, though he can get a little possessive over plushies - who can blame him - they're adorable!
Tahoe thrives on attention and loves to stay close to his human companions. He’s known to lean in for pets, make soft eye contact, and offer gentle tail wags. After playing or training, he’ll calmly settle next to you, perhaps hopping up for a few extra pets or licking your hand in appreciation.
Tahoe is a calm, well-mannered dog who enjoys life’s simple pleasures—walks, treats, and good company. If you’re looking for a sweet and steady companion who enjoys attention and will stay by your side, Tahoe could be the perfect fit!

Ivy across from the current location of City Hall to Myrtle c. 1890. On left is the Cornes & Slosson Livery Stable, the Banning Block and in the far distance the Granite Bank Building. On the right is the Harper Block, the Monrovia Hotel and the Keefer (Barnes & Baxter) building. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.

While Sinta is as sweet as can be, she does have some anxious energy when left alone, often pacing when her humans are out. That said, she’s completely non-destructive and can be trusted to be left at home. When you return, expect a warm (and slightly bouncy) welcome—she’s still working on curbing her excitement and learning not to jump, but she’s getting there!
Walks with Sinta are a breeze—until a squirrel crosses her path! She’s a champ on the leash otherwise, though she could use a little more training to make those strolls even smoother.
If you work from home or are around often, Sinta would make an ideal, low-maintenance companion. She’s chill, sweet, and just looking for a forever home where she can relax, feel loved, and maybe chase the occasional squirrel.
