Meet Riley, Ruffles, and Rupert – our adorable trio of wrinkly, lovable Shar-Pei mix puppies who joined dogs And Cats Forever in June 2025. These three sweethearts are full of charm, curiosity, and affection. They absolutely love being around people and enjoy the company of other dogs.
Like all puppies, they’ll need a patient and loving home willing to guide them with training, structure, and lots of cuddles as they grow into well-mannered adult dogs.
Shar-Peis are known for their signature wrinkles, loyalty, and calm nature. They tend to form strong bonds with their families and do best with early socialization and consistent training. Their short coats are fairly low-maintenance, but their skin folds require regular cleaning to keep them healthy and irritation-free.
If you’re ready to open your heart to one of these wrinkly bundles of joy, come meet Riley, Ruffles, and Rupert today!
Meet Shadow
He’s a total sweetheart—loving, friendly, and always excited to see people! Shadow is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and even knows how to give paw. He’s still a bit bouncy with his energy, so a home with slightly older children would be ideal.
Shadow isn’t very reactive to other dogs and actually seems to enjoy their company, making him a great potential companion for a home with another pup.
He would love a yard to run and play in, but most of all, he’s looking for a family to love. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate companion, come meet Shadow—he might just be your perfect match!

Meet Nala & Boots!
This adorable duo of French Bulldogs joined the Dogs and Cats Forever family in April 2025 and have been stealing hearts ever since. Nala and Boots are two peas in a pod—always together, always curious, and always ready for a snuggle.
These little explorers love checking out new things, but their favorite activities include short strolls (especially if it’s not too hot!) and cozying up indoors where they can indulge their true calling: professional couch potatoes.
While they’ve been close companions, Nala and Boots are also independent enough to thrive on their own. They’d love to be adopted together but can go to separate homes if the fit is right. Either way, you’re in for a whole lot of Frenchie love!
Tyrome is a young Chihuahua with a tender heart and a gentle soul. He may be a bit shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he becomes a loving little cuddle bug.

Henessy is a sweet and gentle senior pit mix who’s ready to finally enjoy the peace and comfort he truly deserves. After enduring a tough past, this resilient soul is now looking for a loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by kindness.

Tragically, Anya’s world changed again when her beloved owner passed away. She returned to us in April 2025, grieving and confused, but we’re helping her heal day by day.
Anya is loyal, sweet, and loves her walks and a good splash in the pool. She can be a bit reactive around other dogs, but we’re working with her on that, and she continues to improve.
