Story
Hi, I'm Woody. My story didn't start out easy. I was found alone on a trail, severely underweight and covered in cuts and abrasions. I was skin and bones, and my face was especially injured — swollen, painful, and infected. But through all of the treatment and healing, I showed everyone what kind of dog I really am. I was the absolute best patient, and now that I've recovered, my personality has truly started to shine. I'm a handsome brindle-and-white Boxer mix who is quiet, gentle, calm, and incredibly laid-back. I love being petted, walk beautifully on a leash, and am perfectly content simply being beside someone who treats me kindly. I don't need to be the center of attention or keep you busy all day. I'm just a really good dog who enjoys the simple things — a nice walk, a gentle hand, and a person to call my own. Whatever happened before I found my way here is part of my past. I'm ready to leave it behind and spend the rest of my life surrounded by the love and kindness I deserve. If you're looking for a gentle, easygoing companion who will appreciate every bit of love you give him, come meet me. I'm ready for my forever home. Interested in adopting?

Story
Silas is an active boy, kind of goofy. He was born to a litter of 5 in October of 2025 and has been with two of his sisters since then. Dad is a boxer mix and mom is a Jack Russell mix so he is very loyal and loves to play! He is sweet with children, including littles. He loves his chew toys and will chase a ball or frisbee. He is still learning to be on a leash for walks, but doesn't pull, he just likes to wander and explore. He loves to be with his people and although he is crate trained, he can still have accidents if left alone for too long. Silas is super affectionate and cuddly when he calms down. Would be an ideal pup for an active family with children and would love to buddy up with another young dog.

Story
This is our new friend, Smokey!Smokey is a boxer mix and, let me tell you folks, he loves to be around people. So long as there aren`t any milkbones, his attention is on his person nearby.He would love a home with someone to hold him through thunderstorms (they`re scary). Smokey is used to living with an older gentleman but is open to loving a person of ANY age.Smokey loves toys, treats, and other dogs!He gets quite excited around cats, so we advise caution if you were to take him into a home with one. Smokey would probably take some work to get used to a feline friend.Consider coming out to meet Smokey!!

Story
Meet Kratos! 🐾 This handsome lover boy is ALL puppy, wrapped up in one big, adorable package! He’s already quite tall, and we suspect he’s going to be a big boy, but don’t let his size fool you—he’s an absolute gentle giant! His freckled nose and permanently wind-swept ears might just be the cutest things we’ve ever seen. Kratos is incredibly dog-social and loves to play with his four-legged friends. When he gets excited, he does the most adorable little hand cobbles that are guaranteed to make you smile! He walks beautifully on a leash, knows “sit” and “down,” and firmly believes he belongs in your lap. Spoiler alert: he WILL let you know! With his mellow personality, goofy puppy charm, and endless cuddles to give, Kratos is ready to steal someone’s heart. Could that someone be you? Come meet this lovable big boy and see for yourself!

Story
- Kind soul who loves to be busy and connect with people through play and other activities - Does best with a harness on walks - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "He's a super sweet dog. He had no interest in the tennis ball LOL but loved to chase me around the dog park. He loves belly rubs and would often ask for cuddles. He did pretty well when asked to sit but would often lay down instead of sit. He enjoyed his long walks and definitely preferred to be outside after he got his power nap in. He was very interested in other people and wanted to say hi to everyone we passed." - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Tends to avoid other dogs (dog intro recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 74.5 Age: 6yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Cassie! I'm a beautiful American Bulldog mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. I absolutely love attention — pets, walks, treats, playtime, and even a quick glance in my direction can make my whole day. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my people and would love nothing more than to have a family of my own to devote all my love and energy to. I came to the shelter as a stray, and I've come a long way since then. I've gone through training and have made huge improvements in my manners. I'm learning, growing, and showing everyone more and more of what a wonderful companion I can be. Despite all that progress, I've had very little interest from potential adopters. It's hard to understand because I'm always ready to greet people with a wagging tail and an enthusiastic hello. What I'm really hoping for is someone who will see past my time at the shelter and give me the chance I've been waiting for. I'm ready for a home where I can be loved, continue learning, and finally have a family to call my own. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who is ready to show you just how much she has to give, come meet me. I may be waiting for you. Interested in adopting?
