This beautiful American Bulldog mix absolutely loves attention — all of it! Pets, walks, treats, playtime, even a quick glance her way makes her whole day. Cassie is happiest when she’s with her people and would love nothing more than to devote all her love and energy to her forever family. She came to us as a stray, but from the very first day, her tail hasn’t stopped wagging. Cassie is always up for an adventure and loves meeting new people. What she’s really hoping for now is a family who will love her unconditionally and give her the wonderful life she deserves. Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Ralph! This little one and his litter got a rough start in life, but with help from a good Samaritan and our community, they’re now happy, healthy, and ready for forever. We weren’t sure what their breed was since neither parent was around — so we did a DNA test! They’re a Lab/Hound mix, which means equal parts cuddle buddy and fun-loving explorer. Could Ralph be your new best friend? Interested in adopting?
