Story
Zeus is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He’s an indoor dog with great home manners and a big personality to match his name.Zeus is housetrained and lets you know he needs to go outside by running to the door and giving a little whine. He’s had only a few accidents a year. He’s also crate trained, though he hasn’t used one recently, and he’s comfortable being left to roam the house. He can usually wait 4–8 hours between potty breaks. Zeus has been described as playful, affectionate, vocal, active, and yet, a total couch potato too—it all depends on his mood! He loves plush toys, rope toys, playing gently with his mouth, and curling up for cuddles. Zeus enjoys pets and attention, though he may politely move away when his ears are touched. He’s good for baths and general handling. He was allowed on the furniture and definitely enjoys the comfy life. This smart boy knows sit, stay, come, no, and heel. He may bark or whine when left alone or in the car. He chews on his toys to pass the time and would thrive best with regular exercise. Zeus isn’t the biggest fan of leashes, but with patience and positive experiences, he can learn that walks are just as fun. Fortunately, Zeus has had no issues with leash walking in shelter and is very polite. Zeus is wonderful with women and amazing with children. He’s good with dogs, cats, and even small animals. He can be hesitant with men at first, but with gentle introductions and trust-building, he warms up. We always encourage slow introductions. We can provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Zeus is a loving, loyal, playful boy who wants nothing more than a family who understands him, guides him, and gives him a warm place on the couch.

Story
Rocco is our first Shelter to Scholar pup - training sponsored by The Better Companion. Speak with staff to learn more!Rocco is a sensitive, loving boy who just wants to be close to his people. Once he warms up to you, he’s incredibly affectionate, snuggly, and happiest curled up by your side, especially at bedtime!Rocco can be a little unsure when meeting new people, so he’ll need slow introductions and a patient home that understands he just needs time to feel safe. In the shelter, he’s shown how wonderful he is — looking to people for comfort and quickly forming strong bonds.He’s done well with other dogs when introduced properly but would do best in a home without cats or small animals, as his prey drive takes over when they run from him. Rocco appears to be potty trained and has been well-behaved in the shelter, though his previous family mentioned he could be a bit destructive when left alone. Crate training helped him feel secure and keep him safe while his people are away! Rocco is a loyal, tender-hearted companion who’s ready to find a home that will give him the love, structure, and comfort he deserves

Story
Blu has spent his whole life as an indoor companion and enjoys spending most of his day—and all of his nights—inside with his people. He has excellent potty habits and knows to go outside, though he isn’t used to signaling when he needs to go since he has followed the same routine for years. With consistency, he should adapt well to a new schedule! This sweet guy is fully crate trained and can comfortably settle for long stretches—up to 12 hours overnight and 8–12 hours between potty breaks. Blu has been left alone for the workday without any trouble and has shown no concerning behaviors whether people are home or away. Blu loves pets, affection, and a good play session! He can be touched anywhere and is great in the car. Bath time makes him a little anxious, but with encouragement he settles in and appreciates the attention. While Blu doesn’t know many formal commands yet, he may know sit and lay—he’s just not quite committed to staying in place. With his energy and eagerness to interact, he’ll likely pick up training quickly with a little patience. He is a people pleaser and just wants to make his people happy! Blu is active and will be his happiest self with a positive outlet for his energy. He enjoys the idea of playing with other dogs, though he hasn’t had many positive opportunities to do so as he was consistently being beat up and challenged by the senior dog in his previous home. We encourage slow introductions and a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if you have other dogs in your home. Blu will likely feel most comfortable with an easy-going, respectful friend. He is friendly with both men and women, and he has done great with meeting new people! His experience with children, cats, and small animals is unknown. Blu is a lively, loving boy who’s ready for a home where he can be part of the family, enjoy playtime, and learn new things. If you’re looking for an upbeat companion with a big heart and lots of potential, Blu might be your perfect match.

Story
Grace is a sweet, quiet girl who absolutely melts for gentle words and soft praise. She’s the kind of pup who wins you over with her calm presence and loving eyes. While she enjoys spending time with her brother Hooch, she’s not afraid to let him know when playtime is over — a true lady who knows her boundaries!Grace is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows “sit,” “treat,” and “wait.” She loves affection but prefers not to be bothered while eating (we respect that!). She can be shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she opens up into the softest, most gentle companion.In her previous home, Grace did wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats. Introductions should be taken slowly. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting. Please keep in mind that Grace is looking for a more calm home. Sadly, her family had to surrender her, Hooch, and their kitty friend Bella when one of their owners developed severe allergies.Now, Grace is hoping for a new start — one filled with love, cozy spots to nap, and people who will see just how special she is.

He is quick to open up!In his previous home, Hooch did wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats — he’s a well-rounded companion who just wants to feel safe and loved again. Introductions should still be taken slowly and we can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed!Hooch came to the shelter with his sister, Grace, and their kitty friend, Bella, after their family developed severe allergies. Now, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home to call his own.
