Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I'm Prime! My journey to the shelter? Oh, it's a funny tale! I once decided to follow a squirrel on an epic chase, zigzagging through parks and streets. My escapade ended with me accidentally joining a yoga class in the park, trying to blend in as a downward dog! They couldn't find my owner, so here I am, making everyone laugh with my antics. I'm smart, gentle, and playful, the perfect companion for adventures or cozy evenings. Looking for a loyal friend? I'm your guy! Adopt me and let's start our story together.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2026, 12:22 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Looking for a fun-loving and adorable new companion? Look no further than Kya! This young female pup is as affectionate as she is curious, friendly, funny, gentle, and smart. Kya loves to play and explore, and she's always up for a good time - whether it's romping around the yard or curling up for a movie night. As an added bonus, she's already housebroken and knows how to use the doggie door - what a smart girl! Best of all, Kya is just adorable, with her big brown eyes and fluffy coat. She's a real head-turner. Just a heads up, Kya hasn't had much interaction with other dogs, so we're not sure how she'd do in a multi-dog household. She'd probably prefer to be the queen of her castle, to be perfectly honest. If you're looking for a furry friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Kya is the girl for you! This Young pup is just bursting with love and energy, and she's eager to find a forever home where she can continue to learn, grow, and thrive. If you think your family might be the right fit for Kya, please come and meet her today - you won't regret it!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2026, 12:22 pm
