Story
Meet Baguette — the fourth sibling in this bread-tastic bunch! This 8-month-old pit mix came from a home that didn`t give him much of a start in life, so he`s a bit under-socialized like the rest of his litter — but he`s got a big, friendly heart and loves other dogs.Right now, Baguette is under doctor`s orders: he`s healing up from a broken leg, and DCAS has him covered for treatment. That means his adopter needs to be ready for a season of limited activity — think cozy naps, gentle leash walks, and lots of couch cuddles while he mends. It`s the perfect excuse to bond slow and steady before working on his confidence once he`s back on all four paws.He`s sweet, social, and just wants someone patient enough to help him heal — inside and out. If you`re looking for a low-key recovery buddy who`ll turn into your favorite playmate, Baguette is ready to loaf around with you.Baguette weighs 34lbs and may gain more

Story
Jasper is a senior Yorkie with a big personality and an even bigger appetite for treats. Friendly and outgoing, he`s the type to greet every person like they`re his new best friend — because, honestly, they probably are.Jasper`s looking for a home where he`s the one and only — no canine siblings required, thank you very much. He`s ready to be someone`s sole focus, the undisputed apple of their eye, and he plans to earn that title daily.He`s on two easy daily medications — one for hypothyroidism, one for dry eye — and the shelter`s sending him off with three months of hypothyroid meds to help his new family get settled into the routine.Mostly, Jasper just wants a soft place to land: a comfy lap, a cozy bed, and someone to take him on gentle strolls when the mood strikes.Jasper`s ready to fall for someone — are you ready to catch him?Jasper weighs 12.5lbs

Story
She was named for a snowflake, but don`t let that fool you — there`s nothing delicate about this girl`s zest for life. Snowflake is proof that not every snowflake is one-of-a-kind in a fussy way; she`s one-of-a-kind because she`s just that much fun.This husky is a people person through and through, greeting every human like they`re her favorite one yet. Put her in a yard with other dogs and watch her turn into the life of the party — zoomies, play bows, the whole routine. She`s easygoing, happy-go-lucky, and about as low-drama as a husky gets (which, let`s be honest, is saying something).Snowflake isn`t looking for anything complicated. Just a family, a few playdates, and maybe a couch to flop on afterward. Melt for her today — schedule your meet and greet and watch this flurry of joy become part of your forever.

Story
Meet Ciabatta — Pumpernickel`s sister and fellow bread-named work-in-progress! At 8 months old, this girl is soft on the inside, a little crusty around the edges (thanks to a previous home that didn`t teach her much), and 100% worth the effort.Ciabatta hasn`t quite figured out the whole `confident dog` thing yet, but she`s got the right foundation: she adores people, melts for affection, and gets along great with other dogs. She just needs someone patient enough to show her that the world isn`t so scary and that being a dog is actually the best gig around.Since she`s still figuring things out, she`s the perfect match for someone who wants to shape a great dog from the ground up — no bad habits to break, just good ones to build. Every bit of confidence she gains will be because of you.If you`re up for raising a shy pup into her happiest, waggiest self, Ciabatta is ready to rise to the occasion.Ciabatta weighs 25lbs, could gain more
