Story
I’m a very good boy... well, that’s what everyone tells me. I’m a big Lab with an even bigger love for treats. Seriously, if you even think about opening a bag of snacks, my tail starts wagging on its own. I can’t help it. I know sit, sit... oh, I definitely know sit. It’s my best move. You say the word, and boom, I’m on the ground, looking up at you with my best “treat please?” eyes. Works almost every time. I also love toys! Squeaky ones, chewy ones, ones you throw, ones I’m not supposed to chew but absolutely do anyway. And playtime? That’s the best. Fetch, tug, zoomies around the house…I’m ready for all of it. But after all that, my favorite thing is cuddles. I’ll lean all my big Labrador weight right into you and sigh like you’re the softest pillow in the world. Because even though I’m huge, I’m also a total mush. Life’s pretty great when you’ve got snacks, toys, and someone to love on and I would really love to have those 3 things in my life.

Story
Hi there! I’m Matcha! An older shepherd mix, but don’t let my age fool you... I still have plenty of spark in me. My favorite thing in the whole world? Tennis balls! I carry them around proudly like they’re my greatest treasures (because honestly, they are). You’ll often see me trotting around with one in my mouth, tail wagging, showing off my prized possession. But I don`t really want to share, so I`ll just take my tennis balls and lay down, do my own thing. I’ve learned a lot over the years; how to be patient, gentle, and grateful for the little things. I love treats and I’ll give you my best “good dog” eyes every time you open the treat bag. I may be a bit slower now, but I still enjoy a nice game of fetch, a cozy nap afterward, and quiet moments with my favorite humans. I’m loyal, calm, and full of love to give. All I need is a comfy spot to rest, a few tennis balls to call my own, and a person who’ll see the wonderful old soul that I am If you’re looking for a companion who’ll always be by your side I might just be the one for you.
