Story
Prince Meep is ready for adventure! This chatty boy loves to play and will alert you to any disturbances in the area. He loves to be the center of attention and is up for anything and everything! Meep should do well in a home with other friendly pups and kids but we are not sure how he feels about his feline friends. Meep hopes to find a home where he can explore the mountains with his family but also be a couch potato and curl up on a warm dog bed. He is still learning his basic commands and would do well in a home where he can gain some confidence and continue working on his manners.Meep is already neutered, microchipped, dewormed and up to date on his vaccines. Come meet this handsome boy today!

Story
Titan is a big 8 year old boy who has had a harder life than any dog should ever have to endure, and we are determined to help him find the loving forever home he has always deserved.This handsome and goofy guy came to us when his previous owner was no longer able to keep him at their rental home. Unfortunately, we were also told that Titan’s life before that was a very difficult one. He was reportedly severely abused during his early years, and the scars from his past are still visible all over his body. While we can’t change what Titan has been through, we can make sure that the rest of his story is filled with kindness, safety, and love.Despite everything, Titan is an incredibly sweet boy. He can be a little head shy, particularly around people he doesn`t know, so he needs a family who will be patient with him and give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. Once he realizes someone is a friend, though, his goofy and lovable personality really starts to shine through! Titan will be sure to greet you with a wagging tail, a giant happy smile, and an eager for play and adventure kind of attitude.Titan has spent far too much of his life without the stability, care, and affection every dog deserves. We would love nothing more than to see this sweet senior-ish guy finally experience what it means to be truly cherished—to have a family who spoils him, snuggles him, celebrates his silly antics, and reminds him every day that he is a very good boy. Titan has done well meeting other friendly dogs here at the shelter. He is a big, bouncy, playful goofball, so he may be best matched with another larger dog who can keep up with his enthusiasm and match his play style. We’re still getting to know Titan when it comes to cats, but we will be sure to update you as we learn more.Titan has already survived the hard part. Now he just needs someone willing to show him that his best days are still ahead. We think this wonderful boy deserves nothing less than an amazing forever home where he can finally be safe, loved, and spoiled exactly like he should have been all along!
