Gloria hopes to find a cushy landing spot to enjoy for several years! She seems a bit unsure of herself indoors so may have spent a lot of her time outdoors in a previous living situation. She is sensitive in the shelter environment, and will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age, and as the only dog in her new home.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Loki is a sweet and sensitive fellow! He'll appreciate a mellow home and a patient adopter who will allow him ample time to come out of his shell. In his current home, Loki spends much of his time in his crate, which appears to be his safe space. He will need continued encouragement and a consistent routine to help him feel more secure. Loki has benefitted from the companionship of other dogs, so he may feel most comfortable living with a well-adjusted canine companion. Loki has enjoyed recreation at the dog park and going on hikes. An active adopter who enjoys outdoor adventures and can continue building his confidence would be a wonderful match for him. Loki will be placed in a home without children (or with children 10 years or older). Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: Black Weight: 51.6 Age: 7yrs 7mths 2wks

Meet Juliette, a 5-year-old Lab mix who's a gentle, sensitive girl who wants to feel safe and understood. With patience, kindness, and a calm routine, Juliette has the potential to truly blossom. Juliette will require a longer-than-average low stress integration into her new home and we encourage you to help her feel sure that you're her advocate before introducing her to unfamiliar people and animals. This pretty lady needs a friend! Juliette will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Pinky -a sweet girl who's been through a lot of changes and is ready to finally land somewhere she can exhale. Pinky would thrive with a calm, understanding person who lets her settle in at her own pace. As Pinky transitions to her new home, she may benefit from enrichment activities such as playing scent games as she uses her nose to explore the world and engaging with food puzzles at meal times. She may be initially shy, but she has a gentle, loving personality.Our volunteers have found Pinky to be a good walker who doesn't pull, responds to her name, sits politely, and takes treats gently. They say she is just a sweetie.She may require a longer-than-average integration to feel safe when left alone, and another dog in her next family will be ideal. At this time, Pinky will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 64.6 Age: 6yrs 1mths 1wks
