Story

Meet Eyra! DOB 1-30-24, Pyrenees mix, professional soft girl. I am what they call submissive and sweet, which really just means I will politely melt into the floor if you look at me too fast. I specialize in gentle tail wags, soft eyes, and the I promise I am a good girl face. When I first meet you, I might be a little shy. But once I feel safe, that is when my silly switch flips on. Suddenly I am doing the wiggly zoomies, play bows, random happy hops and possibly a dramatic flop onto my side because being adorable is exhausting. I get along great with other dogs as they help me feel brave. I am the kind of friend who shares toys, respects space, and says you go first at the water bowl. What I am looking for is a gentle home, kind humans, maybe a dog friend and a soft place to nap and feel safe! I promise to give you, sweet eyes full of love, soft cuddles, silly moments once I blossom, loyal, gentle companionship! I may start out a little shy, but if you give me patience, I will give you my whole heart.

Story

Look at this sweet Terrier mix. Meet Hank! This boy had had a ruff life and needs a soft place to call home! He is around 4 years old, kennel trained, learning to walk on a leash, but needs a home without small children. Hank needs time to decompress and feel safe! He likes to be an alpha male so dog testing would need to be done with him prior to adoption. He hasn't been tested with cats yet and tends to be a bit nippy! This guy will just take time with lots of love and patience. Visit or call the shelter if you would like to meet the adoptable pets.
