Story
Age: 3 yearsWeight: 18.6kg / 41lbA little bit about Buffy:- Unknown history with children- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Some history with other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionMeet Buffy, a three-year-old shepherd with a heart full of potential. Buffy came to us through no fault of her own and has spent most of her life outdoors, living with a pack of dogs that did not accept her. Because of her past, much of her history is unknown—but what we do know is that she loves people. Though she’s shy and can be fearful in new environments or when being leashed, her gentle nature shines through when she meets someone new. She’s the kind of dog who wants to trust, and with patience and kindness, she’ll blossom.Buffy is looking for a calm, committed home that can give her the time and training she needs to gain confidence and learn how to be a dog in a home setting. She’ll need a family that understands fearful dogs and is ready to move at her pace. In return, you’ll get to watch her transform into the loyal companion she’s meant to be. If you’re ready to give Buffy the fresh start she deserves, she’s ready to meet you.

Story
Age: 6 monthsWeight: 18.6kg / 41lbA little bit about Soul:- Some history with children. May do better in home with older children who can read and respect canine body language; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Some history with other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionMeet Soul, a big-hearted older puppy with a whole lot of love (and mischief) to give. He arrived at the shelter through no fault of his own and can be a little nervous with new people—but with a few treats and some patience, he’ll soon be your best friend. Soul is a playful pup who lives to chew, so sturdy toys are a must! He’s lived with children before but is looking for a home with teens who understand canine body language. With positive reinforcement training, enrichment, and love, Soul will shine. “So, honey, don’t you fret—‘cause you ain’t seen nothing yet… He`s a soul man!”

Story
Age: 4 years oldWeight: 47.5kg / 104.7lbA little bit about Chunks:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Unknown history with other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionChunks is a sweet and silly American Bulldog mix who came to the shelter through no fault of his own. This big guy has been through a lot but hasn’t let it dampen his spirit—he’s cuddly, affectionate, and loves lounging like royalty on a sunny patio (as long as there’s some shade—he’s a little sun-sensitive!). Chunks is full of charm and has the funniest zoomies, despite his short legs. He walks well on leash, adores his food, and has mastered the art of couch naps—even during thunderstorms!While in foster, Chunks showed us his goofy, loving nature and his passion for sunbathing and snuggling. He`s working on gentle manners (he sometimes forgets how big he is when he`s excited!) and will thrive with continued positive reinforcement training.Chunks has a history of skin allergies and is currently managed with medication, special food, and paw soaks. His new family should be prepared to continue this care with guidance from their vet.Ready to meet your new best bud? Chunks is waiting!
