Story
Gale is a very sweet, kind-hearted boy with a gentle soul and a wonderful go with the flow personality. We’ve truly loved getting to know him during his time at the shelter. Gale came to us as a stray, so much of his past is unknown, but what we do know is that he’s been a delight. He’s friendly with other dogs and mostly prefers to mind his own business, politely keeping to himself. We do encourage a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption to help ensure a smooth introduction to any potential canine friends. With a medium energy level, Gale enjoys exploring the outdoors and going for nice walks — though his feet can get cold quickly! He’s happy to play with a stuffie or work on enrichment toys, but he’s just as content spending quality time with his people. Gale has excellent manners and walks beautifully on leash. He appears to be potty trained and already knows several cues including sit, down, shake, and wait. Based on his calm behavior in his kennel, we suspect he may also be crate trained. Please keep in mind that he will need time to adapt to his new home! Gale’s attentive nature and gentle heart make him the kind of loyal companion everyone dreams of. We absolutely adore him and know that once you meet Gale, you will too.

Story
Chaos is a middle-aged gentleman with the softest heart and the sweetest soul. Despite a rough start, Chaos has truly blossomed during his time with us, and watching his transformation has been nothing short of heartwarming. When he first arrived, Chaos was shy and unsure of the world around him. Today, he greets us with gentle tail wags and a quiet eagerness to take on the day. Chaos is a low-key, easygoing companion who simply enjoys the comfort and presence of his people. He’s not overly playful, but he rarely turns down a nice walk (unless it’s windy — he’s definitely not a fan!). He also enjoys enrichment time with toys like stuffed Kongs and seems happiest when life is calm and predictable. While we don’t know if Chaos has lived with children or other animals in the past, slow and thoughtful introductions will be important as he settles into a new home. He has met a few dogs here at the shelter and did very well, especially with calm, respectful canine friends. We’re always happy to arrange a dog meet-and-greet and highly encourage it. Chaos appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on leash, and may be crate trained based on his kennel behavior. He’s a truly special boy who has come so far, and we can’t wait to see him continue to thrive in a loving forever home.

Story
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 but he can be a tad shy at first; it doesn’t take long before his sweet personality shows. 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. 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. Because we’re not sure if Lloyd has lived with children or small animals, we recommend slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success. 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!
