Story
Meet Orca, a resilient and affectionate pup ready for her fresh start. She came to us from a neglectful situation, but her strong spirit and willingness to trust again are truly inspiring. Orca is determined to leave her past behind and embrace the happiness of a loving home. Because she missed out on early socialization, Orca would do best in a home without cats. She enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those with calm, gentle energy who respect her space. She’s learning proper dog communication and is slowly letting her playful side shine — something that has been an absolute joy to witness. Above all her favorite past time is rolling over and enjoying the feeling of the sun on her belly. One of our volunteers recently took her on a doggy date and shared how quickly she warmed up after a shy start. While baths aren’t her favorite, Orca loves chasing tennis balls, exploring new places, and curling up for cuddles on the couch. She’s also fully housebroken and would thrive in a home where someone can offer her reassurance and attention when she’s feeling a bit anxious. Orca is ready for her next chapter with a patient, loving family who can show her what it truly means to belong.

Story
Hi, I'm Beavis! I love cuddles and I'm quite the gentle soul. My days are filled with lower-energy fun, perfect for a chill home that likes casual adventures. I might be a bit shy at first, but give me a moment and I'll warm right up to you, showing you my friendly side with a wagging tail and eager eyes. I dream of a forever home where I can share all my love. If you're looking for a sweet companion to share quiet moments and joyful playtimes, I'm your guy! Let's make countless happy memories together. From a foster: Beavis is an absolute sweetheart. He is a great car rider and walks well on a leash. He is still a little shy at times but very sweet. He gets along well with my dog who can be high energy. He could use some desensitization to the crate.

Story
Meet Kuroo, the friendly, goofy, and energetic furball who's always ready to play. He is an adventure type of guy that loves meeting and seeing new places and people. Even on the grayest of days Kuroo is a bouncing ball of sunshine who put the spot light on anyone who needs a little joy in their day. If you're looking for a laugh-a-minute companion who will keep you on your toes, Kuroo is your guy. His love for life is infectious, and he's ready to share it with a family who will appreciate his unique brand of comedy. From a volunteer: Kuroo was a little unsure of us and the car at first (we had to pick him up to put him in the car the first couple times). But once he realized we were his friends he was so sweet, affectionate, curious, and smart! He ended up jumping in and out of the car on his own by the end of the day! He was patient with a bath and did well in the pet store and on a leashed walk. Oh, and did I mention he LOVES French fries? He got a few from us and I think that was definitely the highlight of his day! Kuroo is so ready to share a lifetime of French fry runs with his forever family!

If you’re looking for a four-legged comedian to brighten your days, Rudy is your guy! This happy, goofy boy is the class clown of the dog world and never misses a chance to make you laugh with his silly antics. Whether he’s tossing toys in the air, zooming circles around the yard, or playfully wrestling with his canine buddies, Rudy brings joy everywhere he goes. An energetic and outgoing pup, Rudy absolutely thrives on fun and friendship. He loves anyone and everyone he meets and proudly embraces his extroverted personality. If you have room in your home, and your heart, for a dog who’s always ready for an adventure, Rudy is eager to be by your side. Rudy would be happiest with an active family or a home that already has another playful dog to help him burn off that endless enthusiasm. If you’re ready for laughter, love, and lots of tail wags, come meet Rudy and let this charming goofball win you over!

Catan

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 5 yrs 5 mos
Auburn, AL

Story
Catan may be short, but he is mighty, a compact, muscular little tank with a heart of pure gold. His favorite thing in the entire world? Snuggles. Big, cozy, melt-into-your-arms snuggles. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy who doubles as a weighted blanket, Catan is your guy. He’s always up for whatever you’re doing, but moving all that muscle takes effort, so while he’s quick to sprint into the fun, he also tires out just as fast. Think of him as a “burst of energy” kind of dog rather than a long-distance athlete. A few short play sessions and he’s ready to snooze the rest of the afternoon away. Catan enjoys the company of other dogs and can be playful when the mood strikes. With mellow dogs, he’s happy to simply chill and coexist. He isn’t a fan of intact males (can you blame him? He lost his bits months ago), so he’d do best in a home with compatible canine friends. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly buddy with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Catan might be your perfect match!

Story
Say hello to Perri, a sweet, mellow girl who’s all about the simple joys in life—soft blankets, gentle company, and long sniffy strolls. She’s not one for high-energy adventures or wild zoomies. Perri prefers to keep things relaxed, ideally lounging beside her favorite people, soaking up the quiet comfort of home. New places and faces can make her a little nervous at first, but with a bit of time, kindness, and a confidence boost or two, she opens up beautifully. Once she feels safe, she’s as loving and loyal as they come. Perri is the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a slower pace and a peaceful vibe. If your ideal day includes a walk around the neighborhood followed by a good book or a movie marathon, Perri would love to be right there with you. Looking for a gentle soul to share your life with? Perri’s ready when you are. 💖
