Story

🐾 Meet Sir DH! 🐾Sir DH is a 9-month-old, 64-pound Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix who is full of energy, personality, and potential! This young guy came to us as a stray and is looking for a very experienced, structured home ready to help guide him into a well-mannered adult.✔️ Scheduled for neuter on 6/25 (adopter must bring him back for appointment)✔️ Not aggressive with other dogs✔️ Will respect a cat that sets boundariesSir DH is still very much a puppy in a big body. He has no formal training yet and will need consistent guidance, structure, and patience. He is extremely high energy and will require a proper outlet to burn that energy daily.🚧 Important things to know:• Escape artist — will require secure, escape-proof confinement• Dog interactions are immature — he may bark and grab at the back of another dog’s neck (puppy behavior), so any dogs in the home must be very tolerant and patient• Required to meet all dogs in the home prior to adoption• Best suited for a home with no children or older children only due to jumping and overwhelming behavior• Needs a firm, experienced owner who can provide structure and trainingSir DH has a lot of potential in the right hands, but he is not a beginner dog. With the right leadership, exercise, and training, he can grow into an incredible companion.If you’re ready for a challenge and want to invest in a young dog who needs guidance, Sir DH may be the one for you!📩 Contact us or stop by to meet Sir DH!

Story

Meet Auda 💕Auda is a 2-year-old, 52-pound pit mix with a whole lot of love to give—and she knows it! This sweet girl came to us as a stray, so her past is a mystery, but she’s been making up for it by showing us just how wonderful she is every day. She is scheduled to be spayed on May 28.If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, Auda is your girl. She is incredibly affectionate—almost demanding of attention—and absolutely loves to give hugs. She thrives on human connection and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give (and then ask for more!).Auda has been a joy to handle. She walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and appears to be potty trained. She’s also done well around cats, making her a great option for multi-pet households.When it comes to other dogs, Auda is friendly and enjoys playing—but she can be a very vocal, enthusiastic player (which is quite normal for her breed). Her play style can sometimes come across as a bit intense or noisy, so we do require a dog meet-and-greet for any potential canine siblings to make sure everyone is comfortable.Auda is a happy, loving dog who just wants to be close to her people. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or riding along on errands, she’s ready to be your constant companion.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate dog who will greet you with hugs every day, Auda might be your perfect match. 🐾💕
