Story

Meet Woody! 🐾 Woody came to us as a stray alongside his brother, and he has been patiently waiting for his second chance ever since. This handsome guy is full of energy and truly enjoys spending time outdoors. He would love a home where he has plenty of room to explore and run. While Woody enjoys being active, he also has a softer side. After a day of play, he is perfectly content heading back to his kennel to relax on his cozy blankets. It is his safe place, and he settles in nicely. However, kennel life at the pound has been hard on him, and he is clearly much happier when he has space to move around and be outside. We estimate Woody to be around 5 years old based on his teeth. He is at a great age—past the puppy stage but still full of life and companionship to give. Woody will come fully ready for his new home. Prior to adoption, he will be: Neutered Microchipped Up to date on all vaccinations Woody is ready to find a family who will give him the space, love, and freedom he deserves. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will thrive with room to roam, Woody could be the perfect fit for you. Come meet Woody and see if he is your new best friend! 🐶

Story

Meet Buzz 🐾 Buzz is a high-energy, confident boy with a natural leadership personality. He absolutely loves the outdoors and is happiest when he has space to explore, run, and play. Whether it is chasing after toys or soaking up attention from people, Buzz is always ready for fun and companionship. Buzz has been with us at the pound for quite some time, and it is clear that kennel life is not where he thrives. While he will settle into his kennel without issue, you can tell it is not the life he wants. He would much rather be out enjoying the world and spending time with his people. We estimate Buzz to be around 5 years old based on his teeth. He would do best in a home where he has room to stretch his legs and burn off his energy. A yard or active lifestyle would be ideal for this adventurous boy. Buzz is ready to find a place to finally call his own, a home where he can run, play, and be loved the way he deserves. Upon adoption, Buzz will be: Neutered Microchipped Up to date on all vaccinations If you are looking for an energetic, loyal companion who will keep life exciting, Buzz might be the perfect fit for you.
