Story
Lady and Luna are a bonded pair that came from the same litter of puppies. They are super friendly and easily trainable if you have the time. They get along with other animals if introduced correctly and are very safe around children. Luna was attacked by other dogs about 4 years ago and did lose her leg because of it. She has healed well and it doesn't seem to have changed her demeanor around other dogs. We are looking for someone willing to take on two energetic goofballs who love learning tricks and really love being around people.

Story
Fiddle has been loved by his family since he was a puppy. He is an affectionate boy who forms deep bonds with his people and has a loving side that shines through in the right environment.Fiddle struggles with some anxiety and aggression that can lead to unpredictable reactions, including going after someone unexpectedly. He strongly guards food, toys, and spaces and may react aggressively by trying to bite if he feels they are threatened.Fiddle needs an adult-only home with experienced owners who understand canine body language, anxiety, and resource guarding. He needs a calm, structured environment, patient guidance, and careful management to keep everyone safe.We love Fiddle dearly, but must prioritize our children’s safety. This decision comes from a place of love, and we hope to find him a quiet, understanding home that recognizes both his affectionate nature and his challenges and can give him the care and structure he needs. ❤️He is crate trained but doesn’t love being locked up

Bosco 🐾🤍Some dogs demand attention. Bosco earns it.This incredibly handsome 3–4-year-old boy was found wandering the countryside, hoping someone would notice him. Sadly, no one ever came looking. Now he's waiting at Ark for the family that will never let him wonder where he belongs again.Bosco is a perfect mix of strength and sweetness. We believe he may have some Bulldog in him, thanks to his stunning blocky head and solid, stocky build. Add in his striking white markings, soulful gentle eyes, and heart-melting baby kisses, and you've got one unforgettable dog.What truly makes Bosco special is his calm, mature presence. While other dogs are busy trying to be the center of attention, Bosco quietly wins hearts just by being himself. He's the kind of companion who makes you feel at home the moment you meet him—the dog who's happy to walk beside you, relax at your feet, and remind you every day what unconditional love looks like.If you've been searching for a loyal best friend with the looks of a model and the heart of a gentleman, your search may be over.Bosco isn't just a good dog... he's exactly what you've been missing. Come meet him at Ark and see why everyone falls in love with this incredible boy. ❤️
