(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Evie—playtime professional, and master cuddle bug. I'm happy to spend the day doing anything, so long as it's with you. I have been an excellent student during my stay at HSSC, mastering all the basics like "sit", "drop", and waiting patiently at doorways. I've developed some excellent leash manners; though I am occasionally excited by the rogue squirrel, I've found walks to be far more enjoyable when you stop and sniff the flowers. I love to explore and would be over the moon to have a walking buddy who’s up for some adventures. The staff and volunteers say I’m clever, full of life, and endlessly affectionate. I'm a sensitive girl still learning the ropes of independence; I consider myself to be somewhat of a homebody, and I would love the company of someone just like me. My friends here say I'd make an excellent work-from-home companion, whatever that means. Sounds like fun though! If you’re looking for a joyful, goofy sidekick who’s equal parts fun and love, I just might be your match. Let’s build something special together—starting with a game of fetch and ending with forever.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hey there, I’m Gunther—current president of the Hidden Gems Club and a firm believer that good things come to those who wait (and wait... and wait). I’ve been hanging out here for over 120 days, quietly perfecting my craft: the ideal mix of fetch champion, yard explorer, and professional napper. I’ve got a laid-back vibe, but don’t be fooled—I can spring into action when a tennis ball is involved. My fans (a.k.a. the staff) say I’m sweet, friendly, and low-key hilarious. I’m all about finding that perfect someone who appreciates a good lounge session and the occasional squirrel surveillance mission. If you're looking for a loyal buddy with just the right amount of pep and plenty of charm, come meet me. Hidden gems don’t stay hidden forever—and I’m more than ready for my big reveal. Your couch (and heart) will thank you.
