My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Dewey!
A 69lb, 11 year old APBT gentleman with a heart as big as you could imagine his story. Found roaming the streets with another dog, Dewey was brought to the shelter in rough shape—but even then, his gentle spirit shone through.
Despite everything he’s been through, Dewey friendly and affectionate and greets people with a soft tail wag. With other dogs, he can be a bit selective, so he’d do best with careful introductions or as the only pup soaking up all the love.
Dewey still has some pep in his step, but his age is beginning to show—his once-spry body now carries the signs of a long life lived, including visible wear and arthritis that can slow him down. Still, he faces each day with quiet resilience and an eagerness to share gentle companionship.
Whether it’s exploring the yard, lounging in a sunny spot, or checking in for pets, he enjoys life’s simple joys. What Dewey needs most now is a calm, loving home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe, cherished, and finally at peace.
