Story
Meet Kelvin, a very unique pup with a sharp mind and endless snuggles! Kelvin resembles that of a Canaan dog in both his looks and his personality, but could be anything! It doesn`t matter, though. To us, he`s perfect!Kelvin is a sweet, affectionate boy who looooves pets and will lean right into you for scratches. He will sometimes even hop up to ask for more attention, but is learning that he can ask for it in more appropriate ways. With an unknown background, Kelvin is still revealing his personality to us, but he gets braver (and goofier) every day!Kelvin was transferred to us from another shelter, and they noted that he was very interested in chasing small animals. He played well with female dogs over there and could live with a compatible canine companion going forward. His suitability with children is unknown, so any interactions should be calm and closely supervised!Smart, eager to please, and highly trainable, Kelvin lives off of snuggles, enrichment, and adventure, and can`t wait to have all those things with you! Come visit our lovely Kelvin today.Kelvin is:- unknown with kids, supervised interactions required- unknown with cats & small animals- open to dogs pending successful intro

Not good with dogs,
Story
Hey there! My name is Blizzard! I’m a big goofy guy who loves to run, explore, and spend time with my people. If you’re outside gardening or going for a walk, I’ll happily follow you around and keep you company the whole time! Sometimes I get really excited or a bit frustrated, and I can be a little jumpy or try to gently nibble your feet to get your attention. It’s all in good fun — I’m just still learning the best ways to ask for love and attention. I’m comfortable around other dogs, but due to my size I haven’t had much chance to actually play with them in the shelter. Most of my friends here are much smaller, and I don’t want to accidentally squish anyone! I haven’t been around cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and microchipped — ready to find my perfect match!
