Hey, I'm Joey! 🐕 I'm a 7-year-old brown Shepherd with a heart full of love and energy to match — at 38 pounds, I'm the perfect medium-sized companion who's ready to go. I'm great with other dogs, cats, and kids, plus I know sit, lay down, shake, and basic obedience commands, so training together will be a blast! 🎾 I've got a playful spirit (I absolutely love to zoomie!), I'm food motivated, and I'm curious about everything — which means life with me is never boring. Come meet this good-natured guy and let's start our adventure together! ❤️

Floki is a 5 year old gentleman with a huge personality! He has been professionally trained, so he has more than just house manners. Having fantastic recall, he walks great on and off leash and enjoys nothing more than to run around with a toy. Being super social, Floki is a people pleaser! He takes treats unreasonably gentle, is always down for belly rubs and loves some good head pats while lounging on a bed. If you want a sweet, energetic companion Floki is your guy ✨

Story
Bubba is a 5 year old sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger appreciation for the simple things in life: treats, toys, hugs, and people to love. He has lived with kids, cats, and dogs, and he’s the kind of easygoing guy who just wants to be part of the family. Bubba absolutely loves giving hugs and soaking up attention from his favorite humans. Beneath all that sweetness is a dog who’s really just hoping to find a cozy home and people to call his own forever. 🐾🤎 A note from Foster: From the day he came into my home, this goofy blond hippo has made me laugh every single day. He's got the biggest block head you've ever seen, and I'm convinced he believes it exists solely for scratches. Sit down beside him, and before long you'll have a 70-pound head resting in your lap, gently reminding you that you're not finished petting him yet. Don't forget the butt scratches, either—they're just as important in Bubba's world. He's the perfect mix of silly and sweet. One minute he's racing around the yard doing his hilarious zoomies with a squeaky toy proudly hanging out of his mouth, and the next he's snoring beside me, completely content after a day of playing. Watching him be happy is one of my favorite things. The thing I wish people could see is just how easy Bubba is to love. He already knows his commands. He walks beautifully on a leash without pulling. He rides quietly in the car like he's been your co-pilot forever. He's always ready for an adventure, whether it's a trip to the park or just riding along while I run errands. Honestly, he doesn't care where we're going—as long as we're going together.
