Story

Meet Gracie! Gracie is a sweet, gentle American Staffordshire Terrier just over a year old (born 8/20/24). Rescued from a tough situation at 5 months, she’s grown into a loving, sensitive pup who lives for belly rubs and being close to her person. She’s a true Velcro dog who wants to follow her favorite human everywhere. Gracie is dog- and cat-friendly, great with kids, and very protective of her “tribe.” She can be timid at first and does best with slow introductions, but once she feels safe, she’s loyal, affectionate, and full of love. We recently moved and our work schedules changed, leaving Gracie alone far too much. She deserves a home where she can get the attention and companionship she thrives on. Gracie is healthy, up to date on shots, kennel trained, and ready for a loving forever family who will give her the affection and closeness she adores.

Meet Trevor, the life of the dog park! This friendly, outgoing pup never misses a chance to make new friends and have some fun. Recently, Trevor was introduced to three different dogs—and he hit it off with every single one of them!He showed off his playful imagination with a little “sword fighting” game with Breezy, turned on the jets for a good old-fashioned chase with Rambo, and had a blast in some rambunctious, full-energy playtime with Buddy. No matter the play style, Trevor adjusts and joins right in with a big smile and a wagging tail.Trevor’s easygoing nature and playful spirit make him a joy to be around. He’s social, good-natured, and ready to bring that same fun-loving energy to his forever home. If you’re looking for a dog who knows how to make friends and fill every day with laughter and adventure, Trevor’s your guy!
