She's a real dog's dog, always up for a game of tug-of-war with her favorite ropes or a spirited chase with her fellow four-legged pals.

Meet Pecan, the charming canine with a personality as sweet as his namesake! At around three years old, Pecan has blossomed into a wonderful companion, making strides in his journey towards doggy friendship. While he may need slow introductions with other dogs, his determination to make furry pals is evident daily. As for our feline friends, well, Pecan might never be their number one fan, but hey, everyone has their quirks, right? On the bright side, this easygoing pup is most likely kid-friendly, making him a potential best friend for your little ones. Pecan enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like napping on the dog couch (seriously, he's a pro at it), taking leisurely walks, and munching on apples – his all-time favorite treat! When he's not indulging in apples, Pecan adores gnawing on bones and being an all-around good boy. Don't be surprised if you find yourself enchanted by his big, soulful eyes and adorable paw taps to get your attention. And if you ever need a laugh, just wait for one of his notorious "dirty looks." Pecan is the king of expressions!
Pecan has truly transformed from a pup who needed a little extra TLC to a well-mannered, crate-loving, and potty-trained pooch. He's a great listener who's mastered basic commands and even learned the impressive trick of going "back." Baths and nail trims? No problem for this canine champ. Although he might snore a little and occasionally offer a gentle snort, his most endearing quality is his penchant for cuddles and scratches on his giant head. Despite his initial burst of energy, Pecan has evolved into a bit of a couch potato, opting for afternoon naps and victory laps rather than zoomies. He may not be a fan of car rides, but with such a lovable personality, who cares? Pecan, affectionately known as "Peeks," is the perfect companion for someone seeking a canine friend who's up for slow intros with other dogs and has an arsenal of expressions that will keep you entertained.

While Ike might not be the cuddly type, his foster knows that beneath that tough exterior lies a heart of gold. He's got a discerning palate and a fondness for pill pockets that would make any dog envious. Chicken and Rawbble duck are the way to his heart when it comes to food. Toys? Not his thing. Ike prefers spending his time strolling the yard, occasionally tolerating the company of his buddy Tony, or simply lounging next to his chosen human, granting them the honor of his presence.
Now, Ike might have a few quirks that set him apart from the pack. He's no fan of celery or most dog foods, and he couldn't care less about toys. He's not one to be petted without his consent, and getting his belly band on can be quite the ordeal. But don't be surprised if you catch him snoring occasionally; it's all part of his charm. Ike's not one for tricks or formalities, but he knows the importance of sitting when the situation calls for it. And when it comes to crates, he's perfectly fine with them. In Ike's world, he's a bit of a feline aficionado, making his own rules and expecting everyone to fall in line – or get a gentle gumming as a reminder. So, if you're up for adopting a one-of-a-kind canine character who's part dog, part cat, and all personality, Ike just might be your ticket to a truly unique companionship adventure. Just remember, in Ike's world, he's the boss, and you're lucky to be in his presence, "Dick Band Ike" and all!
