Story
Meet Baxter!Baxter originally came to us as a stray puppy, was adopted, but then later returned in his adult years as he did not quite understand his size or strength around younger children. He is still very much a big, goofy pup at heart, but would do best in a home with older children who can help him feel safe and give him space when he gets wound up.This sweet boy is incredibly affectionate once he is comfortable. He loves being around his people, giving kisses, and being close to them. He can be a bit fearful of men at first, so a patient and understanding home that will help him build confidence at his own pace, would be great for him! While Baxter is an adult, being back at the shelter has been a little hard for him when it comes to building back a routine to potty outside, so he does have a few accidents in his kennel. To help him succeed, he would love a home with a more consistent routine and positive reinforcement once being in a new environment.We are unaware of how he does with other dogs or cats, so proper introductions are important to make sure everyone gets along well together.If you are looking for a loving and goofy companion and are willing to continue to help him grow into his best self, Baxter is ready for a fresh start and someone who sees just how special he is. If you would be interested in looking to adopt Baxter, please fill out an adoption application on our website.

Story
Meet Fidgy!Fidgy is a 2-year-old, medium sized, boxer mix that came to AHeinz57 as a stray who had not been claimed. Since then, we have learned lots about her and her personality!Fidgy`s personality includes communicating like a dolphin, having the energy like a toddler on espresso, and the misunderstood love language of a velociraptor. If Fidgy loves you, she will attempt to nibble your limbs with the enthusiasm of someone trying to taste-test friendship. And her affection style? Bold, unapologetic, and slightly mouthy playstyle with a little sprinkle of bouncy. But here’s the twist, if you are to sit down and just be with her, Fidgy transforms. The jumping stops. The squeaking softens. She’ll curl up beside you, let you pet her, and gaze at you like you’re the only human in the world. She may question if you might still taste good, but she’ll hold back.She loves to meet new people, and with treats involved, she learns to become fast friends! Due to her mouthiness, young children may not be the best fit for her and older children may understand that she is just trying to be playful. We are still learning how she would do around other dogs, so if there are others in the home, proper introductions would be needed to make sure that it is the right fit. As for cats, a home without would be best, as she thinks they are just fun, interactive, squeaky toys. We do recommend a fence for her while she is learning to be around other dogs, but it is not required. With her being pretty vocal, she would do best without shared wallsIf you would like to still meet with her despite her quirks, please fill out an application online or ask to come visit her in one of our playrooms. Some information may change as we get to know her better.
