Story
Hi, I'm Cassie! I'm a beautiful American Bulldog mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. I absolutely love attention — pets, walks, treats, playtime, and even a quick glance in my direction can make my whole day. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my people and would love nothing more than to have a family of my own to devote all my love and energy to. I came to the shelter as a stray, and I've come a long way since then. I've gone through training and have made huge improvements in my manners. I'm learning, growing, and showing everyone more and more of what a wonderful companion I can be. Despite all that progress, I've had very little interest from potential adopters. It's hard to understand because I'm always ready to greet people with a wagging tail and an enthusiastic hello. What I'm really hoping for is someone who will see past my time at the shelter and give me the chance I've been waiting for. I'm ready for a home where I can be loved, continue learning, and finally have a family to call my own. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who is ready to show you just how much she has to give, come meet me. I may be waiting for you. Interested in adopting?

Story
Hi, I'm Sally! Don't let my independent queen energy fool you. I'm a confident girl who knows what she wants, but offer me some hugs and pets and suddenly, that's all that matters. I'm a little selective about who I give my affection to, but once you're in my circle, I'll happily soak up all the attention you have to offer. I have that "I don't need you... but I do want you" personality down to an art. I'm ready for adventures, companionship, and plenty of affection from my people. I'm looking for a cat-free home where I can get all the love and attention I deserve. If you're looking for a confident, independent girl with a softer side who will keep you on your toes and happily accept your affection, come meet me and see if we're a match! Interested in adopting?

Maizie seems to have been dumped off at our house. She seems to be fully grown. She is very sweet and loves our dogs. She has kept a clean kennel and has barely made a peep. She loves to be loved on and to give kisses. Her coloring is absolutely beautiful! She is treat motivated and would learn quickly.We are working with our local shelter to get her spayed and fully updated with her vaccinations.

Story
Hi, I'm Griffin, a striking 3-year-old black and tan Rottweiler mix with brains and heart to spare! 🐕 I'm already neutered and housetrained, so I'm ready to settle right into your home — and I absolutely love spending time outside, so a yard would make me one happy guy. I'm clever, confident, and affectionate, and I thrive on attention from my people. I'd do best as your one and only when it comes to cats, but I'm a fantastic companion for the right home. My adoption fee is $175 — come meet me and discover what a devoted friend I can be! ❤️ Interested in adopting?
