Story
Hello, I'm Hydie! I'm as sweet as a sugar cookie and friendly like the sun. I love to play, and my energy could power a small town! My curiosity keeps me exploring and sniffing out new adventures. I’m a bit goofy too — I can't resist a good belly rub, a game of fetch, or rolling in the grass. Food? Oh, that's my favorite! Treats are the quickest way to my heart. I could play fetch all day, but I’m also the perfect mix of playful and mellow. I’m not just about fun and games, though. I’m also a great listener and promise to be by your side, wagging my tail, ready to bring a smile to your face. Adopting me means endless love, boundless joy, and a loyal friend forever!

Story
Hello, I'm Damon! Life here is pretty good, but I dream of a place I can call my own. I'm a bundle of energy, always ready for a game of fetch or a walk in the park. I'm also quite the explorer, sniffing out new scents and chasing after squirrels. But don't worry, I love a good cuddle too. After a day of fun, there's nothing I enjoy more than curling up beside someone I love. I'm friendly to everyone I meet, always greeting them with a wagging tail. I promise to be the best friend you could ever wish for. So, why not take me home? With me, every day will be an adventure filled with joy, laughter, and lots of love.

Story
Hello, I'm Chino! I may be a senior, but I've got the spirit of a puppy. I'm full of energy and love to play—especially with toys of all kinds! Squeaky, bouncy, chewy... you name it, I love it. I’m also a big fan of sniff walks, where I can take my time and explore the world with my nose—it’s one of my favorite ways to spend the day. In the kennel, you might catch me doing my signature happy tap dance when I see someone I love (or when treats are involved—because let’s be honest, food is my absolute favorite thing). That, and giving kisses! I’m a cuddle bug through and through and always ready to snuggle up with a friend. I’ve never met a person I didn’t like, and my happy-go-lucky nature makes it easy for me to connect with everyone I meet. Adopting me means endless cuddles, tons of tail wags, plenty of playtime, and a loyal best friend for life.

Hi, I'm Lucas! I'm a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'll be your best friend. I love to play, especially with toys—nothing beats a good game of fetch or tug-of-war. I'm sweet, friendly, and full of affection. I enjoy quiet moments and will happily sit by your side to keep you company. When I’m comfortable, I love to give kisses and show off my belly! I love playing with my dog friends and am always ready for fun. I have a lot of love to give and hope to find someone who will love me just as much. Adopting me means gaining a loyal and loving companion who will bring joy and laughter into your life.
