Story

Shadow is a 4-year-old Mastiff x Lab mix who weighed 112.1 pounds on intake! He is quite chunky and needs to loose a few pounds!03/01/26 Shadow is back! In his most recent home he was described as being gentle when playing, housebroken, outgoing, rides well in the car, and kennel trained! But he is a chewer, likes to get in the trash, and can be a little stubborn. He also needs to be fed seperatly from ALL other animals as he can be sensitive around his food. He will need to have planned meals, as he tends to over eat when freely fed. He was assessed by the shelter vet who stated his ideal weight should be nearing 85 pounds. We encourage his next owner to work with their vet on helping him shed those pounds! Smaller frequent meals help. Like any animal it is important to make introductions with any new friend in a slow and controlled manner. He was reported to have done well with both the cats and dogs he met in his most recent home! If you are interested in meeting Shadow please give the shelter a call!12/08/25 This happy boy is Shadow!

However, he can be very excitable and does like to jump on people. Shadow was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and rides well in cars. When his owner is not home, Shadow was said to be kept in the kennel as he was known to chew and get into the trash if given the opportunity. When it comes to other animals, Shadow was said to be curious towards cats and can be selective with other dogs. He was said to generally be gentle but can become irritable if the other dog does not give him space. Appropriate introductions are important in helping set him up for success! We have found at the shelter that Shadow is very treat-motivated, which can be great with training. He is a sweet boy looking for his next person to love! If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know!02/19/24 Shadow was returned to the shelter because his adoptive owner could no longer care for him. We unfortunately did not receive any additional behavior on how Shadow behaved in their care. Shadow was excited to see the care staff and still seems to have his happy go lucky energy! Shadow is a large dog and does like to jump on people. He would benefit from attending a basic obedience class to continue working on his manners in his next home! If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know! 01/31/24 This big loving goofball is Shadow! Shadow was surrendered to the shelter because the older dog in the home was starting to beat up on him. Shadow did not engage and was said to love other dogs. He was even said to do well with the cats in the home. Please ensure you are doing appropriate introductions with all new animals.

Story

Clara (A140983) is a 10-month-old Lab who weighed 38.1 pounds on intake! Foster update 2/24/26: On arrival at the shelter, we found that Clara had a bowel obstruction after eating a sock. She was sent out for surgery and made a full recovery in an amazing foster home. However, it was noted that she will still seek out socks to eat and is a super chewer! Clara was said to break out of wire crates but did well in a ruffland kennel. She was said to be a little ball of energy who loves to play and did great with the foster's dogs and cats. She is also a smart girl who enjoys puzzle toys but does need to be supervised so she does not chew up the toy once completed. Clara has been working on potty training and with plenty of frequent potty breaks has done well. However, she does still ask to go out in the middle of the night if not fully exercised to her liking. Clara is still nervous around strangers, but once she bonds with her person she is very loyal. We recommend that she goes to a home without children due to her habit of eating things she should not.01/26/26 This shy but friendly pup is Clara! Clara can be quite reserved at first and may take some time to fully warm up. However, once she is comfortable with you, she is stated to be outgoing, friendly, and affectionate!

She was said to do well the other dogs in her home, but has not experience around cats or smaller critters. With all new animals, it is important to ensure you are making appropriate introductions. Clara was stated to be crate trained but is not fully housebroken. She is looking for a patient owner who will continue to work with her. She would also benefit from attending a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on her manners and to continue building her confidence.
