Story
Finn is a pure bred German Shepard who is first generation U.S. born. His dad is from Czech Republic. Finn absolutely loves running and playing in the water. I’m looking for a new owner because we just had our first baby and Finn does not do well with children. He doesn’t display aggression towards them he just does not know how to be gentle and uses his mouth too much. He is a very high energy dog and requires a very active owner. He needs to have a fenced in yard and plenty of exercise. Finn is also incredibly loving and cuddly, he will quickly become your best friend. Happy to share any more details needed over the phone!

Story
Hi, I'm Lily! I'm a laid-back girl with a big heart who's always happy to make new friends and enjoy a little adventure. I've only been in my foster home for just over a week, and I've already mastered the stairs, handed out countless kisses, and claimed the bean bag as my favorite napping spot. I'm fully potty-trained, house-trained, and a wonderful walking companion who prefers a nice, loose-leash stroll, though every now and then I like to show off a little burst of zoomies! At this stage in my life, I've really come to appreciate the simple things: sunny afternoons, leisurely walks around town, cozy naps, and quality time with my favorite people. I'm incredibly affectionate and would love nothing more than to spend my days snuggled up beside you. I also enjoy the company of other calm, easygoing dogs who share my mellow outlook on life. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle companion who will fill your home with love, quiet companionship, and plenty of cuddles, I just might be the perfect match. I'm ready to find my forever family—and I hope you have time for a nap, too!

Story
Pam is a big girl with an even bigger love for people, littles included, though she occasionally forgets just how large she is. Her enthusiasm is pure, joyful, and wonderfully contagious. If you’re nearby, she’s ready to be your best friend. Pam adores toys, loves running around with her canine buddies, and will happily soak up every bit of affection you’re willing to give. Belly rubs? Yes. Ear scratches? Absolutely. Being told she’s a good girl? She’ll take that all day. She’s always down for whatever life throws her way. Whether it’s a romp in the yard, a new adventure, or simply lounging with her favorite humans, Pam approaches each day with a happy heart and a “let’s do it!” attitude. This sweet, social girl is ready to bring her joy, her silliness, and her endless affection into a loving home that appreciates her big personality and even bigger love.

Story
Bellawas found by a friend close to some railroad tracks in a box with her siblings. Bella is a very athletic and energetic dog. She is good with other dogs. She can get along with my other cats; however, it is a tenuous relationship, largely due to her higher energy scaring the cats. She has not been aggressive with the cats, but she is not great at understanding her size compared to their's when they try to play. I think she would do well as an only pet or in a multi-pet environment. The main other pet she does not get along with anymore is her sister. Unfortunately, sibling rivalry was too much, and it is difficult to have them both out at the same time, meaning they both spend quite a bit of time in their crates. Bella would do great in an environment with active "paw"rents who will spend time playing with her. I would also caution those with young children; however, for those with older active children, I imagine she would love playing and hanging out with them!
