Hey there! My original name was Betty White, but you can call me Luna. (There are two other POPP girls named Luna, so we thought we'd eliminate some confusion and use my original name.)

I'm 2.5 years old, and I'm a Husky/Swiss Shepherd Mix. I have A LOT going for me that makes me a fun and perfect companion: I'm house and crate trained (I go in my crate regularly for some peace and quiet) and I love to swim, play in the sprinklers or splash around in the horse trough.... basically anything with water, I'm in!

I walk well on a leash and I love to play fetch and cuddle with humans. And you should see the list of commands I know... It's pretty lengthy!!
How am I with other dogs? That's a little complicated. My former family thinks I suffer a little PTSD from the conflicts that arose with their other dogs, so I tend to overreact with larger dogs, but would probably be ok with a medium or smaller dog. However, I'd be ok as an only dog, too. I've never been around a cat, so that's probably a no-go, based on my family tree.
I'm told that I'm stunningly pretty, but I'm a little modest to own up to that description. I alert my people when someone new comes around, but once I know they're ok, I'm ok with them, too.

Meet Taco! I'm an active, fun-loving, talkative guy who would love to come hang out with you! I'm 2 years old and I'm good with dogs and kids.

Other cats are sort of ok; however, I do like to be the dominant one in my current home. I think I might like to have all the attention when it comes to other felines. I love to be held and cuddled and would make a cool companion.

I just need someone to love me and take good care of me! Taco has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

The adoption fee is $75 and includes a complimentary vet exam, coupons from Petsmart, and a gift bag from POPP.

Oh what a BEAUTIFUL and SWEET girl!!

Lena is 5 years young and finds herself looking for a new forever home due to serious health issues with her (human) dad.

She is a good girl who gets along well with the other dog she lives with, and older children but how about cats? Uh, that's a definite NO! (In Lena's mind, cats are for chasing.) Oops!!

What does Lena love? She loves people, walks, attention, running, playing, and CAR RIDES!

A good little bonus with Lena is that when the 4th of July roles around, fireworks don't freak her out like they do a lot of dogs. Lena is an energetic girl, so she'll need someone who can meet her exercise needs.
