Story
Pete is a friendly, affectionate boy with a classic wiggle-butt greeting and a heart full of love. A true cuddler at his core, Pete prefers spending most of his time indoors soaking up comfort and companionship, but is just as playful! He’s fully potty trained and will politely let you know when he needs to go outside by waiting at the door and giving a little whine. Pete is crate trained and can be left home alone for 8–12 hours. He may be a bit vocal when left by himself, but overall he’s a well-mannered and trustworthy companion. One of Pete’s favorite things? Bath time and car rides — he’s always happy to tag along for an adventure or a spa day! This smart boy knows an impressive list of cues, including “sit,” “down,” “off,” “come,” “leave it,” “wait,” “touch,” “bed,” “inside,” and “outside.” When he’s not showing off his skills, Pete enjoys being an affectionate couch potato who loves playing with balls, ropes, and durable chew toys. Pete does have some noise sensitivities and can become fearful during loud sounds like fireworks or gunshots, so a gentle and understanding home would be ideal. While it’s unknown how he does with unfamiliar dogs, Pete has been great with new people and children and previously lived peacefully with his cat siblings! Pete has had a friendly demeanor towards other dogs and could do well with a canine friend. We could always provide a dog meet and greet if needed! When meeting someone new, Pete may get a little vocal at first — until he gets that first pet, then he’s all smiles and wiggles! Pete is a loving, loyal companion who would thrive in a home ready to give him comfort, patience, and plenty of affection.

Story
Bubs is seriously one rad dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He came to us as a stray, and we were honestly shocked that no one came forward to claim such a wonderful boy. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that Bubs lives for attention — and once he’s gotten his fill of love, you’re sure to be entertained by his adorable mini zoomies! Bubs is a medium-energy to active guy who will thrive in a home that can offer him positive outlets for his energy. While he thinks toys are fun, he truly prefers one-on-one playtime and interaction with his people. He’s not overbearing, but he’s also not shy about asking for affection or encouraging you to get up and move with him! This wiggly boy has a friendly demeanor when meeting other dogs and does best with proper introductions. He’s remained happy and social during his time with us, and dog meet-and-greets can be provided prior to adoption if needed! Despite all the excitement and zoomies, Bubs has great manners. He appears to be potty trained, walks fantastically on a leash, and knows the cues “sit” and “shake.” Bubs is truly a fun-loving, life-of-the-party kind of dog whose playful yet gentle nature could make him a loyal and joyful companion in many homes.

Story
True to her name, Baby is a total cuddle bug who loves being right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. She adores affection, praise, and being pampered, and she’s happiest when she’s spending time with her people. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be your shadow, Baby is your girl. Baby is both potty trained and crate trained. While she may cry a little when left alone, she has not been destructive, and having plenty of toys and enrichment helps her stay content. She walks nicely on a leash and is quite the smart cookie, knowing cues such as “sit,” “down,” “treat,” “come,” “leave it,” and “okay.” This sweet girl definitely has a princess personality and prefers to be the center of your world. Baby has had positive interactions with other dogs; however, her previous owner noted that she may not always get along with female dogs, as she can have a more dominant side. She should also not be placed in a home with small animals, including cats, as she has a strong chase instinct. All introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully to ensure the best possible outcome! Baby is incredibly loving and has proven to be a devoted companion. After experiencing multiple transitions and finding herself in the shelter, she will need a little time and patience to adjust to her new home. With understanding and love, Baby is sure to blossom into a wonderful, loyal family member.

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!
