Learn dog body language
While our canine companions canβt speak to us verbally, we can learn a lot about what they are saying through body language.

Hi there! π My name is Timmy, but my friends call me "Hugga Mugga". π€β€οΈ
Why do they call me that, you ask?
Well... because I LOVE HUGS! π₯°
Humans, dogs, visitors, volunteers, new friends, old friends... honestly, if you've got a heartbeat and stand still for more than five seconds, I'm pretty sure you need a Timmy hug. π€πΎ
I've had a bit of a rough past π, but I don't spend much time worrying about that anymore. Life is too short when there are people to love and hugs to give! β€οΈ
My dream day looks something like this:
π Wake up
π€ Give hugs
π Go for a walk
π€ Give more hugs
πΎ Play a game
π€ Extra hugs
πΆ Hang out with dog friends
π€ You guessed it... more hugs!
I absolutely adore other dogs and would love a canine playmate to share adventures with, pending a successful meet and greet of course. ππ Having a buddy to romp around with sounds pretty amazing to me!
I'm told I'm the bestest boy (their words, not mine... although I do agree π). I keep my kennel nice and clean, I enjoy my walks, love a good game, and genuinely think every day is better when it's spent with friends. πΎ
Whether we're heading out for an adventure, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing together, I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by people who love me. β€οΈ
So if you're looking for a loyal companion, professional hug distributor, expert tail-wagger, and all-round good boy, I might just be your perfect match. π₯°π
I can't promise I won't sneak in for a cuddle when you're busy...
But honestly, that's part of my charm. π€β€οΈ
Love,
"Have hugs, will travel!" π€ππ‘
Some dogs carry their past with them, and some somehow find a way to fill their hearts with hope despite it all. π Lacey is one of those very special dogs.
This stunning chocolate and white Kelpie girl has endured more hardship than any dog should ever experience. For much of her life, Lacey was permanently tethered, without proper shelter, regular meals, toys, affection, or the simple comforts that every dog deserves. π Yet through it all, she has remained a gentle, loving soul who still believes in people.
Today, Lacey is discovering all the wonderful things she missed out on. π₯° A warm bed to curl up in, regular meals, toys to play with, doggy friends to chase around with, and caring humans who offer kind words and gentle pats. Every day she learns a little more that she is safe, loved, and valued. πβ¨
π Lacey is incredibly affectionate and enjoys spending time with people. She has met a wide variety of shelter volunteers and staff and has won hearts everywhere she goes with her sweet nature. While she can occasionally become worried by sudden noises or movements overhead, she responds by seeking reassurance from her people. One of her most endearing habits is gently placing her paws up for comfort and support. πΎβ€οΈ
π Lacey is also wonderfully social with other dogs. She has made plenty of canine friends at the shelter and particularly loves spending time with her friend Stella. Together they enjoy playtime, companionship, and all the joyful moments that were previously denied to her. πΎπ She would love a friendly dog companion in her forever home to share adventures, games, and naps.
πββοΈπ³ As a young Kelpie, Lacey is active, intelligent, and eager to be involved in everything her family is doing. She would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, enrichment activities, and opportunities to learn. Whether it's exploring, training, playing with toys, or simply hanging out with her people, Lacey wants to be part of the action.
π‘ Most of all, Lacey dreams of a home where she is truly part of the family. A place where she's welcome indoors, where she has a comfy bed to call her own, where kind hands offer cuddles, and where she never has to wonder if she'll be safe again. π
πΎ Human affection and cuddles
πΎ Making friends with other dogs
πΎ Playing with Stella
πΎ Toys and enrichment activities
πΎ Running, exploring, and staying active
πΎ Being included in family life
πΎ Regular meals and treats
πΎ Warm, comfy beds
πΎ Gentle reassurance and kindness
πΎ Feeling safe and loved
π Lacey has already overcome so much in her young life. Beneath her occasional moments of uncertainty is a beautiful, affectionate, easy-going girl who is ready to blossom in a loving home. With patience, understanding, and plenty of love, Lacey will reward her family with unwavering loyalty, companionship, and a heart full of love.
β¨πΎ This gorgeous girl has waited far too long for comfort, security, and belonging. Now she's ready to find the family who will show her that her best days are still ahead of her. π€π€π
Timmy arrived to us in terrible condition & tested positive for Heartworm. He is currently undergoing treatment. The RSPCA will cover all costs of this treatment until he tests negative. We are happy to discuss this with you further if you are interested in adopting him.
