Leroy’s fee is WAIVED. Apply at www.brasscityrescue.org Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Leroy - the charming, clever, and cuddly dog that is sure to steal your heart! Leroy is a 4-year-old male Cattle Dog Mix with an adorable face and a solid build of 50 pounds. He may have had a tough time as a stray, but his resilience and friendly nature are a testament to his strong character. Just one look into his soulful eyes and you'll see that this playful pup is full of love and ready to be your constant companion. Leroy's activity level is on the higher side, so get ready for some fun adventures with this active boy! He loves to play and will make sure you never have a dull moment. But don't worry, he knows when it's time to cuddle up and be a cuddle bug. Leroy is an expert at balancing play and rest, making him the perfect dog for any active household. This quirky little guy is a social butterfly but weird with men sometimes and loves the company of other dogs. He's always up for a playdate and would do well with a companion animal in the house. While he loves kids, he's best suited for older children as he may try to herd them around with his natural cattle dog instincts. Oh, he dislikes car rides. He loves to get in the rescue van but he grows cement feet when we want to take him for a hike or pup cup. Poor thing is afraid to be left again! One thing's for sure, Leroy has a heart of gold and is affectionate to the core. He'll happily shower you with love, cuddles, and sloppy kisses all day long. He'll win you over with his charming personality and happy-go-lucky attitude. If you're looking for an adorable, friendly, and quirky pup to bring into your home, Leroy is your guy! He's ready to be your best friend, constant companion, and most importantly, a member of your family. Don't miss out on the chance to give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves. Come down to the shelter and meet Leroy today - you won't regret it!

Story
We adopted Oakley in October as a companion for our other dog. He is rambunctious and high energy which proved to make him a poor companion to our other dog who is a more mellow couch potato. He is also a grade-A snuggler and an overall sweetie. We are sad to have to rehome him but we have to keep the peace in our home and want him to be safe.

Story
This little lady is Shonda, and she cannot wait to meet you! Shonda is around 3-5years old but has a grey muzzle so we say she’s closer to 5 years. She’s very personable and friendly but she takes a little bit to warm up and show her true colors. She’s not very photogenic so it’s tough to properly exhibit all of the smiling and kisses that she bestows on us individually. Shonda is very tidy but loves to obliterate the occasional toy or nearly devour a marrow bone. She’s a loud and proud cat chaser so none of those for her! She does appreciate other dogs her size but a large pack is too much for her at this time. She’s had a bunch of friends but is an anti big as a German Shepherd kind of girl. This chick is heavy on the Cattle Dog Mix and who knows what else is stirred in the pot. Older kids are better/ not because she doesn’t like them or people, just because of the slower warm on a new person. Shonda can’t have ten thousand stairs in a home, okay that’s dramatic but you know what we mean. Less is more in the stair department. She’s apparently got an ataxic body and can get stiff. She’s got a wonky gait but Vet claims she great and not in pain, that there’s no need to fret. She gets joint supplements and runs all over. We adore her and we know you will too! To spring her out if our shelter, apply at www.brasscityrescue.org

Apply to adopt at www.brasscityrescue.org Kipper, a beautiful 5-year-old female dog, is looking for her forever home, and we know you'll fall in love with her the moment you meet her. Her soft cuddly fur and gorgeous brown eyes will capture your heart instantly, but it's her playful and loving personality that will make you want to take her home. This little cutie found her way to us when her mom had to move and couldn't take her along. It's been a tough time for Kipper, and she's been patiently waiting for someone to give her the love and care she deserves. We promised her we would find her the perfect home, and that's where you come in. Kipper is an active and playful pup who loves nothing more than chasing her toys and playing fetch. She's always up for a game of tug-of-war and will happily keep you entertained for hours. But when she's not busy playing, Kipper loves nothing more than snuggling up next to her favorite human for some cuddles and belly rubs. She's a true people-pleaser and will do anything to make you happy. As much as Kipper loves people, she would do best in a home with older children and no other pets. She wants all the attention for herself and would thrive in a peaceful environment where she can be the center of your world. She's not a fan of sharing her toys but will happily share her heart with her new family. Kipper is a social butterfly and loves making new friends, but she's not too fond of other animals. She's looking for a home where she can be the only furry family member and receive all the love and attention she deserves. So, are you ready to make Kipper's dreams of finding a forever family come true? Come meet her at our shelter and see for yourself why everyone is falling in love with her.
