Story
Nova is a sweet guy with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love. He can be a little sensitive in new situations, and does best with patient people who let him take things at his own pace. Once he feels safe, Nova's goofy and playful personality really shines through. He's looking for a calm, understanding home where he can build confidence and be someone's very special companion.Our volunteers find while Nova may be a bit tentative when they first greet him, once they begin walking, his sweetness becomes apparent. He loves being outside, walks well with minimal pulling, leans in for gentle petting, enjoys the "find it game" with treats, sits politely, shakes his paw, and lays down when asked.Nova has enjoyed living with other dogs, and will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age. Nova is what we lovingly call a Golden Nugget - a pet whose shine only grows brighter once you take the time to know him. He's ready to surprise you and charm you!

Shylo is a remarkable soul who doesn't let a silent world slow him down, navigating life beautifully through his other sharp senses and a heart full of love. He is a social butterfly who absolutely adores being around people and has a wonderful history of being great with children in his previous home. This resilient boy also enjoys the company of other canines, having lived successfully with furry siblings in the past. Despite his deafness, Shylo remains an active and engaged companion who finds immense joy in playtime and the simple pleasure of a shared walk. If you are looking for an inspiring, family-friendly friend who communicates through wagging tails and woo-woo's then Shylo is ready to meet you! We recommend a family with older or no children at this time. Primary Color: White Weight: 41.5 Age: 2yrs 2mths 2wks

Lexi enjoys staying busy and would love an adopter who's excited to include her in daily activities-walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or anything that lets her stretch her legs and burn some energy.

She loves her people and to aide in a successful adoption, Lexi will only be rehomed to a family without other animals at this time.
