Story
🐶 Meet Thor — A Big, Snuggly Boxer with Energy, Heart, and a Goofy Side Thor is a handsome brown Boxer with a joyful spirit, a big heart, and a whole lot of personality. He was surrendered due to changes in his family’s schedule—not because of anything he did wrong—and he’s ready for a fresh start with people who can appreciate a big, affectionate dog. Thor is fully house trained (no accidents!) and does well on a leash, with only occasional pulling. He’s friendly with adults, kids, and other dogs, and he recently impressed everyone by calmly walking through a large crowd at a holiday lights event. This smart boy already knows sit, down, and stay, and he loves engaging with his people. He’s extremely snuggly and happiest when he’s close to his humans—on the couch, leaning in for pets, or soaking up attention. A pup cup still earns him instant devotion. ❤️ 🐾 A Few Important Things to Know About Thor Thor plays well with other dogs but tends to be on the rougher side, with lots of chasing and tackling. Because of this, he may not be the best match for smaller dogs. He could do well with a dog who enjoys energetic play and can match his size and style. He’s older-kid friendly, but because he’s a big dog with a strong, happy tail, he’s not ideal for very young children who might be knocked over or intimidated. Kids who are dog-savvy and comfortable with larger dogs would be a great fit. Thor can also get a bit mouthy and vocal during play, especially in the mornings when his energy is highest. He’s not aggressive—just enthusiastic and learning how to manage big feelings in a big body. He’s already showing improvement, especially with consistent redirection, and responds best when play is calmly disengaged rather than physically pushed away. Continued training will help him polish these manners even more. Thor is crate trained for daytime when his people are away. He may howl briefly before settling, which is expected as he continues decompressing outside the shelter environment. 🏡 Thor’s Ideal Home Thor will thrive with: • Experienced dog owners • An active household • Continued training and structure • Confident handlers who enjoy working with a smart, energetic dog • Plenty of affection (he gives it right back!) Once his morning energy is out, Thor settles nicely and chills for the rest of the day, making him a wonderful balance of playful and relaxed. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, goofy Boxer who wants to be part of your world and is ready to keep learning, Thor could be an amazing addition to the right home. 🐾💙 Thor is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know him in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

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 6.5 and about as chill as can be. I had him for about 2 days before my landlord informed me she is selling our house, and we have had to make the unfortunate decision to re-home him. I didn't want him back at the shelter so we still have him, but we are also still getting to know him! Hubbell loves everyone he meets. He really just wants to snuggle. He's gentle taking treats and has been good around small children so far. He does okay on a leash, and would improve with a little training. Currently, his walks are short as he is being treated for heartworm. He has about 4 months left of his monthly treatment, and I have meds to send with him. He also does well in his kennel (a treat always helps him go in!) I have a kennel, a bed, a leash and harness to donate, as well as any food or treats I have left. We haven't tested him with other dogs. The shelter said he was shy in play groups, and on walks he seems to want to play. Unsure of cats.

Story
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for help on behalf of my parents. They have a dog named Luna who urgently needs to be rehomed. Luna has been with us since she was a pup and has always lived with other dogs. We’ve tried everything to help her and our other female dog get along, but the fights have become more frequent, and it’s clear she would do better in a different environment. Luna is spayed and up to date on all her shots. She would thrive in a home where she is the only dog, with a calm and loving environment just for her. If you or anyone you know can provide a safe, single-dog home for Luna, please reach out. We truly want her to be somewhere she can feel happy and at peace. ❤️

Meet Diamond, a beautiful 4-year-old pittie mix with a sleek black coat and charming white accents. Just like her name, she’s truly a gem—smart, curious, and full of heart. Diamond has a wonderful mix of playful energy and mellow calm. One minute she’s zooming around with goofy joy, and the next she’s snuggling up for some quiet affection. Diamond is independent but cuddly, sweet but shy, and always full of personality. She’s a fast learner and loves to explore, making her a fun and rewarding companion.

Story
Meet Gunner—a handsome American Pit Bull Terrier with a sleek grey and white coat and a heart full of love. Gunner may have started life as a stray, but now he’s ready for the cozy life with a forever family who will adore him as much as he adores them. He’s a true companion dog who wants to be by your side, whether that’s cruising in the car, lounging on the couch, or just hanging out in the backyard. Gunner is smart, loyal, and eager to please. He’s fully potty trained, kennel trained, and knows commands like *sit, *stay, *come, and is working on *down. He’s easygoing on a leash—except when another dog is around (he’s still practicing his social manners)—but he’s overall a great walking buddy. He enjoys playtime with chew toys, cozy naps, and giving affectionate kisses to his favorite people. Gunner is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can be the center of your world. He’d do best as your only pet—no cats or other dogs, please. If you’re searching for a silly, snuggly, and deeply devoted best friend, Gunner just might be your perfect match.

Story
💗 Meet Sugar Ray — The Snuggly, Tennis-Ball-Loving Sweetheart! Sugar Ray is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart every bit as big as her smile. Originally an outreach case who needed rescue, she is now thriving in foster care and showing just how loving, goofy, and gentle she can be. This big, beautiful girl is all about affection and connection. She loves to cuddle, nap beside you, and soak up every bit of love she can get. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who also enjoys bursts of play, Sugar Ray just might be your perfect match! 🌟 Sugar Ray’s Best Qualities • A+ snuggler — her favorite place is right next to her people • Total nap queen — calm, quiet, and relaxed in the home • Toy lover — especially obsessed with tennis balls! • Crate trained — settles in calmly when you’re away • Good with dogs & cats — per previous owner; foster is still doing slow intros • Great with children — gentle, though her size may be a bit much for toddlers • Well-behaved when left alone At about 85 lbs, Sugar Ray is a solid, strong girl with a soft, mushy heart. Her size means she may unintentionally knock down very small children, but she is a kind and gentle soul who truly loves people. 💕 Personality Snapshot Sugar Ray can get a little excited when new guests arrive, but she settles quickly and just wants to be included. She does wonderfully with routine, clear expectations, and a cozy place to rest. She also experiences some anxiety, but with reassurance and a predictable environment, she thrives. 🏡 Sugar Ray Would Love a Home With: ✔ Someone who enjoys snuggles and quiet companionship ✔ A family or adopter who can handle a strong, 85-lb sweetheart ✔ Slow, thoughtful introductions to resident pets ✔ Plenty of tennis balls! Sugar Ray is the perfect mix of sweetness and silliness — a loyal companion who just wants to adore her humans and be adored right back. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion with so much affection to give, Sugar Ray is ready to brighten your home and heart. She's also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption.
