Story
Bugsy is an adorable mixed-breed puppy with a tender heart and a gentle spirit! Bugsy is the runt of his litter, but this little guy has a great big loving personality! He came to us all the way from Moab, UT with his brothers and sisters, and he’s ready to start living the good life with his brand new forever family! Bugsy is a sweet, shy little guy who may take a moment to feel comfortable, but once he does, his affection shines through and he`s a real cuddle bug. Like all of our puppies, Bugsy will thrive in a home where he receives plenty of love, patience, attention, and continued socialization to help him build confidence. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his age appropriate puppy vaccines—this cutie is all set to go home today! Come meet Bugsy and let this adorable boy steal your heart!

Story
Hi I’m Duke! I’m a 3-year-old neutered male red heeler mix weighing 71lbs. I was rescued from a shelter in Missouri by a sweet family who wanted to give me a better shot at a happy life, but it turns out I need more exercise and activity then they can provide; so they brought me here! I am a happy boy who loves playing with other dogs, licking humans, and life in general. Staff will know me better soon!

Story
Mocha is a sweet and loyal 8-year-old dog who has been by my side since she was a puppy. She was given to me by my parents when I was young, and she’s been my companion through everything—from hard times to happy ones. Mocha has always had a deep bond with her person and loves to be close by, offering comfort, protection, and affection. She is very intuitive and protective, especially toward the person she connects with most. Because of her strong loyalty, she can be reactive when unfamiliar people get too close to her person or come into her space. For this reason, Mocha would do best in a calm, low-traffic home with someone who has experience with protective or emotionally sensitive dogs.

Story
Hi, I’m Champ! I’m a 3-year-old, 50-pound boxer mix—neutered, handsome, and powered by pure wiggle energy. I might act a little shy at first, but give me a snack and boom—we’re best friends. I’m a high-energy dude who knows multiple commands and tries really, really hard to impress the humans.I get along with some dogs, but with others I’m… well… socially awkward. I’ve had a few friends at the shelter—shared my toys like a gentleman, soaked up sunshine like a lizard—and watched them all get adopted. The staff keeps telling me my perfect family is on their way and that I’m next. I can’t wait to be back in a loving home like I deserve. Need an adventure buddy who’s equal parts goofy, loyal, and wiggly?
