Story

Howdy Partner! Looking for a bunkmate? Well city-slicker it's your lucky day cuz I am too! They call me "Cowboy" and I am da stuff real Cowboy movies are made from. I am gritty and tough-looking and, if I may add, devilishly handsome. I am da "John Wayne" of my breed. Now, calm down, before you say "yes", let me tell you about some of MY rules as a new bunkmate: I DONT: Drive, so you will have to drive me to all da dog parks, to da doctors and to all da special fun places. Work, so expect to see me on da couch watching TV or sleeping while you're paying da bills. Cook, so I will expect my chow rustled up and served to me daily. Clean, so if accidently make any messes, you be expected to clean up after me wid no yapping. And finally, I don't particularly like other yappers/dogs and small Hoomans/kids, so I will expect to be da only furball in your life and bunkhouse. (Hey, most cowboys ARE loners) I Will: Pull you all over da yard during walkies if you're not a strong and experienced Hooman. I am a very strong Cowboy! Play wid you in the back yard all day if you toss dat round plastic thingy in da air, dat is my favorite thing to do. I will love you unconditionally as only a dog can do, I will protect you wid all I have and be your forever side-kick; ready to roll when you are. So, what do you think? You want a real "Cowboy" in your life? Come down, bring your posse and rescue me. I will be waiting wid my saddlebag and my chow bowl to ride off into the sunset wid you. Adios and will see you soon Partner!

Penny

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 yrs 1 mo

Port Charlotte, FL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Penny 🐶 Penny is a 6-year-old girl who is fully house-trained and looking for a calm, committed home where she can be the center of attention. She prefers to be the only pet and does best when she doesn’t have to share her space. In kennel settings, Penny struggles with barrier reactivity and can come across as intense at first — lots of barking and growling — but this is all fear-based. Given time, patience, and a gentle approach, Penny completely transforms. Once she warms up, she is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to her person. She is very treat-motivated and eager to please. Treats are the quickest way to her heart — one moment she’s unsure, the next she’s sitting politely with the softest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen. She also loves a good butt scratch once she’s comfortable. Penny is looking for someone willing to go slow, earn her trust, and see past first impressions. For the person who puts in the effort, Penny will be an unbelievably sweet and loving companion.

Story

Meet Jack Skellington — A Gentle Soul with a Curious Heart 🖤🐾 Like his namesake from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington is a unique spirit full of wonder, charm, and quiet depth. With a soft tan and gray coat and the most soulful warm brown eyes you've ever seen, Jack is the kind of dog who speaks volumes without saying a word. Jack is a shy and sensitive boy who prefers to stay close to the people he trusts. He may take a little time to come out of his shell, but once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll be your loyal shadow, always nearby and quietly observing the world by your side. He finds comfort in closeness, and your presence will be his safe place. Don’t let his shyness fool you—Jack is endlessly curious about the world. He’s thoughtful and intelligent, always watching and taking things in. Whether it's exploring the backyard, sniffing new scents on a walk, or gently investigating a new toy, he approaches life with gentle wonder. Just like the Pumpkin King discovered a whole new world outside Halloween Town, Jack is ready to discover joy, love, and belonging in a home of his own. Jack would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can build confidence at his own pace. He’s not looking for a spooky adventure—just someone kind and steady to show him that the world isn’t so scary after all. If you're looking for a quiet companion with a tender heart and a thoughtful soul, Jack Skellington may just be your perfect match. 🎃❤️
