Story
If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, affectionate, calm and loving dog that is already housetrained and non-destructive when left alone, and leash trained, the Gigi is your girl. She was dumped at the shelter pregnant and gave birth there to 6 beautiful, healthy puppies. She was a wonderful, calm, and loving mom. All of her babies have been adopted, and now it is her turn for a little TLC. Gigi is an approximately 3-5 year old Pit Bull mix weighing 75 lbs. She put on a bit of extra weight with all the yummy puppy food she got while nursing, but is working hard to trim back down. While in her foster home, Gigi peacefully co-existed with a senior cat, but she has not been housed with other dogs except her puppies. Gigi's adoption fee is $350 and includes her spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-1683.

Story
Looking for a sweet French Bulldog? Bijou might be the pup for you! This striking Furry Frenchie is a gorgeous, unique 24 lb, 3 year old female chocolate Furry French Bulldog looking for her forever home. Bijou enjoys walks, car rides and playing with toys, especially stuffies she can shake. She is a loving, loyal pup, and is good with the foster dog in her foster home. Bijou is a great combination of independent and affectionate who seeks your attention and wants love and snuggles, then it's off the the next adventure or toy. She is doing great on her house training, and sleeps in her crate quietly all night. Bijou was most likely used for breeding because of her unique looks, and appears to have had several litters before she found herself abandoned at a local shelter. Bijou would make a great family member but because of her playful personality, older children are recommended. Bijou's adoption fee is $450 and includes her spay, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
Brisk is an adorable 3 year old, 12 lb male pug mix, incredibly loving and affectionate. Brisk is both house trained and crate trained and is good with dogs, children and adults. He's always ready to curl up beside you while you work from home, or follow you from room to room just to stay close. He has a playful, fun personality but also knows how to relax during a quiet moment, making him an easy fit for just about any home. Brisk doesn't bark (like, ever!), which makes him a great match for apartments or anyone who needs a more peaceful environment, and loves getting out for walks (and easy to walk on the leash!). He loves playing with toys and other dogs, and would make a great buddy to take to coffee shops or on errand runs. Brisk is a loyal companion, and a very sweet boy, that would be a steady presence in any family's life. His adoption fee is $350 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
Meet Zelda Zelda is a gentle, sensitive soul who’s looking for a patient and understanding home. She does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and gets along well with cats. She will need to go to a home with other dogs, as she thrives on the confidence of others. Around people, Zelda can be shy at first and may take about a week to start warming up, but she truly blossoms with time, consistency, and kindness. She’s fully potty trained and comfortable in a crate, though her crate will need to be securely fastened to keep her safe. Zelda walks nicely on a leash and does best when using a slip leash for guidance. Zelda does need a secure home that will ensure she stays safe. She does have some door barrier fear but we are working with a trainer on those issues. With the right person who’s willing to give her the space and time she needs, Zelda will become a loyal and loving companion.
