Story
Eris is the absolute best dog i’ve ever had. She is loyal as can be and wants nothing more than to be with me. Unfortunately she recently got into it with my Aussie that wouldn’t stop harassing her and i can’t risk them going at it around my daughter. She has never been aggressive to a person, loves being around the kid, and is just the sweetest dog in the world. She is three and a half, doesn’t make messes the house, listens off leash, and is up to date on shots. i need her to have a good life. i think she would do best in a one on one situation with someone that is looking for a best friend. With a little bit of patience for her to warm up to you, i can’t imagine a better dog.

Story
Lilly is a senior girlie who will thrive best in a calm home. She has spent much of her life on a chain and though she has been adapting well to the shelter - she will need continued patience while she adapts and adjusts to home living. Lilly has lived with other dogs and no issues were reported. She will likely appreciate a friend who respects her space and is not looking to keep a puppy busy! Lilly is shy with meeting new people. Though hesitant initially she will gently seek you for soft head pets and neck scratches. Despite most of her life as an outdoor dog she does appear to be potty trained and always keeps her space nice and tidy. Lilly also walks well on a leash and is her most relaxed shelf when embracing the great outdoors! Lilly has low energy but will enjoy regular walks in her new home. Lilly is a very sweet girl who has a lot of love to give. It`s not fair that she was dealt a rough hand in life, but we are looking forward to her bright future!

Story
Lloyd is in a foster home! Please contact to the shelter if you are interested in meeting him so we can coordinate with his foster family (:Seriously… just look at this guy! Lloyd isn’t a breed we see often at the shelter, so we’ll admit we were a little extra excited when he strutted in with all those wrinkles! Lloyd is friendly, with a sweet personality. He has done great withy meeting new people and typically acts as though he`s known you his whole life. He came to us with his buddy Reese, and the two previously lived together—they truly get along wonderfully. Here in the shelter, Lloyd has been calm and non-reactive toward other dogs, so he may enjoy having a canine companion in his new home as well. As always, we’re happy to provide a meet-and-greet to help everyone get acquainted. Lloyd has done great with other dogs in his foster home. He enjoys wrestling, playing chase and just having some company. Lloyd can be a rough player at times so a tolerable friend who matches his energy will be best! He has also met kitties in his foster home and has remained respectful of their space. Of course, we still encourage slow introductions! One of Lloyd’s absolute favorite things in the world? Butt scratches. Give him a good scratch and you’ll be rewarded with the cutest wiggles you’ve ever seen. He absolutely melts for attention and loves being close to his people. Lloyd appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and already knows “sit.” We’re confident he’d pick up more tricks easily—he’s attentive and eager to please. He enjoys quality time, simple joys, and a balance of playfulness without being overwhelming. Lloyd is just a sweet, lovable boy looking for a family who appreciates his gentle heart, charming wiggles, and desire to be someone’s special companion. If you think Lloyd might be your perfect match, we’d love for you to meet him!
