Story
Meet Samwise!Samwise is a 3-year-old boy with a gentle soul who is learning, every day, how to be a little braver. He can be shy at first and takes some time to build trust, but with patience and kindness, his true personality begins to shine. Once he feels safe, you’ll see his fun, goofy side peek through, and it’s absolutely worth the wait.Samwise would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention without feeling overwhelmed. He has previously lived with cats and done well, making him a good fit for a feline-friendly household. Because he’s still building confidence, a home with kids ages 10 and up would be ideal so he can have calm, respectful interactions as he continues to grow.This sweet boy is looking for a loving, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to feel secure. In return, Samwise will reward you with loyalty, affection, and those endearing, silly moments that make him so special. If you’re ready to help a deserving pup come out of his shell, Samwise is ready to meet you.

Story
Hello, I`m Lucy! I am a 6 year old English Bulldog who loves people. I just want to be where my humans are and am happy snuggling on the couch or out adventuring! I love hiking and water (although I am not a good swimmer). Other dogs are not my favorite but so far I have been fairly neutral about cats. I do have lifelong medical needs but I am good about taking my daily meds. I am polite and have nice manners and am potty and kennel trained! My must haves are: someone willing to keep up on my medical needs to keep me feeling my best, lots of attention, and of course a nice couch to snuggle on!

Story
Gorda is a very nice, happy dog! She loves to play fetch with her favorite ball. She likes to cuddle, she is potty trained, she is not much of a barker, she only barks when someone is nearby at the house so she is a great protector. Never has bit anybody! Great with kids! She can look scary to some people but she’s actually really friendly to everyone. (Gorda does not get along with other female dogs) she is good with male dogs. Gorda has not had her annual shots, she gets seen by the all pets center vet. Other than that gorda is a great dog, she’s very easy to take care of. We hope someone can give her as much attention and love that she deserves.

Story
Hi there.I’m Andy, and let me tell you a little about myself, from me, because honestly… who knows me better than me?First things first: I have a BIG personality. Capital B, capital P. I’m goofy, expressive, and always ready to entertain. I’ve also come a long way in my training journey...like glow-up level growth. I’ve been working with a local trainer at Angels in the Making, and turns out I’m kind of a star student. I learn fast, especially when treats are involved (and yes, treats should always be involved).I’ve lived with other dogs and can totally do that again, but I should be upfront about a couple things:Cats? No thank you. I simply do not understand them and choose peace.Kids? I love people, but I don’t fully understand my own size or strength, so a home with kiddos 10 and up would be best. Think “fun uncle energy,” not “toddler jungle gym.”I also have a special diet because I’m allergic to chicken (tragic, I know). But don’t worry, I’m very food motivated and will happily accept approved snacks in exchange for good behavior, tricks, or just existing handsomely.Some of my favorite qualities:GoofyEntertainingQuirky bark that will make you laughExtremely unique lookSecretly learning to embrace my inner couch potatoI’m the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, impress you with my progress, and then flop dramatically onto the couch like I’ve worked a double shift.If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a huge heart, a big personality, and a whole lot of potential (plus a very memorable bark), I might just be your guy.Love,Andy

Story
Drax is a sweet good natured dog. He is just over 5 years old. He is 71 pounds and strong. He loves people, kids and attention, loves to be petted. He likes to play and hang out with the family in the same room even if he is sleeping, which he enjoys doing a lot. He would probably be best as the only pet for your family. He has not had much dog training due to moving a few times. He knows Sit and Stay and I believe he very trainable due to his love of treats. I hope you will be able to give him a good loving home as he deserves that.

Hiya! I`m Copper, a 7 month old mixed breed puppy absolutely bursting with puppy energy! I love people and other dogs, though I`m not sure how I feel about cats just yet.

If you`re looking for a silly little guy to join your family and you have lots of love and patience to give, I`d love to meet you!
