Story
Hi, I’m Zoey I’m a German Shepherd mix with a bright mind and a big heart, and I’m on the lookout for my forever home. I came to the shelter as a surrender, and while that part of my story is behind me, I’m ready to focus on what comes next—a fresh start with someone who believes in me. I’m gonna need some structure, guidance, and plenty of positive training. I’m incredibly smart and eager to learn, which means that with the right commitment, I have so much potential to do amazing things. I just need someone patient and consistent to help me become the very best version of myself. Kennel life can be a bit tough for me, and I sometimes get stressed when I’m confined for too long. What I really dream about is a home where I can stretch my legs, stay mentally engaged, and feel secure in a routine. If you’re someone who’s ready to invest time, love, and training into a loyal and intelligent companion, I promise I’ll meet you with dedication, growth, and plenty of affection along the way.

Story
Hey guys! My name’s Stubby — but my friends call me Stubby Nubbins. I’m a shepherd/corgi mix… at least that’s the best guess humans have come up with so far. Personally, I think I’m just 100% adorable. I’m a full-grown gentleman with short legs, big personality, and enough charm to win over just about anyone. I’m basically a social butterfly in dog form — I love people, dogs, and I’d probably be cool with cats too. If there’s attention available, I would like all of it please. Some people say women only like tall guys, but I’m here to prove that confidence, good vibes, and cute little legs go a long way. I may not be tall, but my personality is absolutely giant.
