Story
Nobody knows how to wear a hat quite like I do&#44 dont you think? Hi there&#44 Im Ava! A sweet and silly girl that cant wait for her forever family. Thankfully&#44 all the kind people at the shelter have given me so much to be happy about. Ive learned what it means to be house trained&#44 how to share my toys&#44 and Ive experienced what it means to be loved&#44 really and truly loved by a human. <br/><br/>I want so much to trust every human I meet right away. But I need a little time to get to know someone and really develop a sense of connection and love for that human. The shelter experience lends itself to a lot of unfamiliar people needing to interact with me often&#44 and I get nervous and scared around all that attention. I prefer slower introductions&#44 getting to know the person&#44 and finding that I can trust that no one wants to hurt me. Once there is patience and understanding between us&#44 Im a little doll. Ive got quite the personality&#44 and I want so much to be a part of a family and feel included in activities.<br/><br/>I am also kennel trained&#44 and I like to sleep in my quiet little spot. Ive been soaking up the love in a foster home recently. When Im not snuggled up with Foster Dad&#44 I enjoy playing with my toys and snoozing the day way. I absolutely adore squeaky toys&#44 and Im a big fan of car rides&#44 too. Starbucks Pup Cup anyone?<br/><br/>Before I fully commit to a family&#44 Id really love to meet everyone to ensure we all have that special connection. Since Im still learning that new people are indeed trustworthy&#44 I would appreciate older kids who know how to be gentle with me. Love is a two-way street&#44 you know. I cant wait to shower my new family with endless love&#44 loyalty&#44 and lots of joy. Together&#44 well make beautiful memories&#44 and I promise to be the best companion anyone could ask for.<br/><br/>Love from Ava

Story
Hubbell is a wonderful dog. He's a mostly chill 6.5 year old guy who's goofy personality is starting to come out as he gets comfortable. I adopted him a few weeks ago and two days later our landlord informed us she is selling our house. I've thought long and hard and struggled with this decision. Rentals are tough with a large dog. All this to say, it's not his fault we need to rehome him. He just deserves more. Hubbell is easy to walk and listens well. He knows how to sit and I imagine could learn more with time. He loves treats and takes them very gently. He's a pretty quiet guy. He loves a walk, but currently they need to be short as he is being treated for heartworms. I have 5 months worth of medicine to send with him, as well as a shampoo for his allergies. I will be donating all of the things I've purchased for him, including a large kennel, collar and leash, and dog bed. We're working on better potty training. He's getting better and is so close with a little more patience!

Story
Dora is a super sweet and affectionate pup who’s around 3 to 4 years old, and honestly, she’s pretty amazing. She has that classic Boxer energy—playful, curious, and full of life—but she also has a calm, laid-back side that makes her easy to relax with at the end of the day. Dora is great with other animals, especially cats and most male dogs. She tends to prefer male dogs over females, but she’s generally friendly and easygoing with everyone she meets. Dora’s journey hasn’t been the easiest—she was found on a busy roadway, which was scary for her, and was picked up by animal control. Thankfully, she’s now safe and healthy at the shelter, waiting patiently for her forever family to come and bring her home. Since arriving, Dora has really grown in confidence and trust, especially around new people. At first, she was a little shy and unsure, but now she’s much more outgoing and eager to make friends. She’s a smart girl who already knows most of her basic commands, like sit, lie down, and place. She has excellent recall and even listens off-leash when in a safe area. Dora is also very well-behaved on a leash and enjoys her walks around town, taking everything in with a curious but calm attitude. Because she’s had some training with her previous owners, she’s not only obedient but also eager to please, which makes her a joy to work with. Dora has a playful but gentle nature. She’s ready to find a family who will love her, keep her active, and give her the patience and care she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s smart, friendly, and just waiting for someone to give her a second chance, Dora might just be the perfect fit.

Story
I sure wish I had some great story to tell you about my past life. You know&#44 a story where Im the hero&#44 and I rescued my family from a burning building; or&#44 I pulled the sled team alongside Balto&#44 and we raced across the Alaskan tundra getting life saving medicine to sick children. Alas&#44 I cant tell you those stories because I think I just made them up.<br/><br/>No&#44 I was actually adopted from Great Plains four years ago&#44 and once I went home&#44 well&#44 I lost touch with my friends here. Fast forward to today&#44 and I came into the shelter again because my family moved away and deserted me at our house. I know for a fact it wasnt me or anything I said or did. I think they just didnt want the responsibility of a dog any longer so they abandoned me. Im over it&#44 and I hold no grudges against humans because of them. I know that I need to open my heart to a new family&#44 trust them&#44 and that maybe this time - THIS TIME - they will love me and care for me until the end of my days. I want to be a member of a family and do my part to care and support and love all of those in it.<br/><br/>I lucked out and have had the privilege of living in a foster home with a wonderful couple. They are so good to me&#44 and in return&#44 I have been nothing but a very good dog. I stick to my Foster Mom (FM) like a little bit of velcro. We have kissing sessions in the morning&#44 belly rubs mid-morning&#44 and a wonderful walk around the neighborhood whenever we want. My Foster Dad missed having a dog in the house&#44 so they decided that fostering would be the way to go. He and FM say that&#44 and I quote&#44 Kermit is the best foster dog we have ever had. I am perfect in the home&#44 I am as sweet and loving as they come&#44 and I even get to sleep in bed with them sometimes. They have a four-foot fence&#44 and I dont try to jump it or anything. What kind of dumbo would you have to be to jump a fence and leave this home and family? I love them with all my heart.<br/><br/>Im a calmer guy now than when I was at the shelter previously&#44 more relaxed and mellow than before. Ive maybe gotten over some of my fears&#44 and Ive learned that love is the most important thing in life. Love and smelling the roses on a daily basis. Oh and eating bonbons with someone you love on the couch watching a rom-com. I prefer affection and attention from my human(s) above all else. I want a home where I can hang my hat&#44 climb into my bed&#44 and drift off to sleep knowing that I have a safe and loving haven in which to live. Yes&#44 Ive reached my senior years. And they are years to be enjoyed and savored - like a good book or fine wine. Honestly&#44 I liken myself to a vintage bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. We both have a smooth&#44 velvety texture&#44 we age gracefully over time&#44 even improving as the years go by. Could you ask for anything more in a dog?<br/><br/>I hope that you are my person. I hope that you are reading about me and want to meet me. I so want my chance at a happily ever after.<br/><br/>Love from Kermit (aka Kirby)<br/><br/>Featuring photos by Krystle-Lee Photography

Hi&#44 Im Fendi! Im a 4-year-old&#44 70-pound bundle of love who still thinks Im a tiny lap dog. I came to the shelter after my family found out they were expecting a baby&#44 so now Im looking for a new home where I can share all my affection (and all my zoomies!).<br/><br/>Im a super friendly girl who loves people&#44 toys&#44 and running around until I flop over for a nap. I grew up with cats&#44 so Im very polite with feline friends&#44 and Im playful with other dogs too.<br/><br/>Ive got lots of energy and a big heart&#44 so Id do best with an active family or a home with a nice&#44 roomy backyard where I can stretch my legs. If youre looking for a happy&#44 cuddly&#44 goofy companion who will always make you smile&#44 Id love to meet you!
