Story
Lova is a sweet soul who is still navigating what it means to truly be a dog. She has not had many chances to explore the world or build her confidence, so many things are new and scary to her. With the right education and experience, she has every opportunity to blossom in a patient, nurturing home. She is working on her socializing skills with other dogs, so she may do best in a single dog home where she can learn to socialize on walks with solid companions, at a slow pace. She continues to grow every day in her foster home who has done a fantastic job with supporting her while she learns.

Story
Hank is a sweet, playful dog who may be a bit shy at first but wins over your heart when you get to know him. With patience, calm guidance and reassurance, Hank will show you the affectionate and kind hearted soul he truly is. Hank plays well with the right match and enjoys to run and play fetch. Hank has shown us that new people and environments can be a bit nerve wracking for him, but with reassurance he is open to give all of the love. He would thrive in a home that understands his shy side and is willing to allow him to explore and meet new friends at his own pace. A true companion!

Story
Bluey is a handsome and well mannered big boy who needs someone gentle, patient and willing to take the time it needs to help Bluey feel safe and confident. He may take some time to open up to you, but it is so worth it in the end. Bluey is a great candidate to be a "side by side" buddy for walks on leash with well mannered friends rather than a play partner, as play time with dogs can be a bit too exciting for him. He would do best in a single dog home. Volunteers love to take him for walks on the River Path. He is a favorite at the shelter, given his laid-back attitude. He will make a very affectionate and loyal pet. From Bluey's foster: We went all over town, meeting lots of other pups and people on the way. Bluey was good, letting everyone go by. He liked the walk even if he took his time, up and down to FLC, up and down Main Avenue. We had Buckley Park to ourselves, and Bluey took the opportunity to relax under ideal temps. He was shy around people who wanted to pet him, so we took it slow.
