Story
We got Gabby as a little puppy and just under a year later she had puppies. She is up to date on her vaccines and has been fixed. She loves everyone, but she will bark at strangers. She loves to cuddle and play fetch. It's difficult to get her a new home, however I can't keep 3 dogs where I'm living now..

Story
Cow was supposed to be adopted when he was a puppy however that person couldn't take him. So he has been with us since he was born. He loves to cuddle and give kisses 💕 My husband recently passed away and the trailer park won't allow more than 2 dogs and with my chronic pain syndrome I struggle with more than one dog. It breaks my heart to give them away, but I cant do it alone.

Story
Mr. Hades is a 5.5-year-old shepherd/mastiff mix with kind and slightly droopy eyes, pointy ears, and a handsome salt-and-pepper muzzle that perfectly matches his gentle soul. This adorably big goofball was surrendered from a loving home through no fault of his own and is now ready to settle back into a family where he can give (and receive) all the love he has to offer. Despite his intimidating size, Hades is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He can be a little wary of strangers at first, but once he realizes you’re a friend, he transforms into a gigantic baby who lives for affection. He loves leaning into his people for pets, eventually flopping over to offer his belly for rubs. One of his favorite moves is gently jumping up to put his paws on your shoulders for a hug—maybe not perfect manners, but undeniably adorable. Expect snoot boops, the occasional happy lick, and a loyal companion who will curl up at your feet for a snooze. Hades is very much a velcro dog and happiest when he’s close to his humans. Hades gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys playing, especially with dogs closer to his size. He’s also perfectly content to relax nearby, happily chewing on a bone while you go about your day. As a true gentle giant, he does well with cats, dogs, and kids alike. He is fully potty-trained, knows his basic commands, and is crate-trained, though he does experience some separation and crate anxiety. Our team is working with him daily, and he’s making steady progress as he learns that being alone is safe and temporary. Hades would thrive in a home looking for a goofy, affectionate, gentle giant to shower with love, attention, and plenty of treats. If you’re ready for a loyal shadow with a heart of gold, Hades may be your perfect match.

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Scout is a gentle, easygoing boy who is looking for a fresh start after being surrendered when his owner could no longer afford to care for him. Despite the changes in his life, Scout has remained a sweet and calm companion who simply wants a quiet place to call home and people to love. This handsome guy has a reserved and independent nature, but once he feels comfortable, his gentle personality shines through. Scout enjoys the simple things in life: leisurely walks, relaxing on the couch, and spending time near his people. He already knows "sit," takes treats nicely, walks well on a leash, and is both house trained and respectful of his living space, keeping his kennel clean. Scout gets along well with other dogs and has done well with children of all ages. While shelter life has made him a bit anxious and stressed, he has all the makings of an excellent companion once he settles into a stable routine. He would thrive in a quieter home where he can decompress, build confidence, and enjoy a predictable lifestyle. His calm temperament and good manners also make him a wonderful choice for a first-time dog owner. One thing that makes Scout especially charming is how well he handles grooming. He is patient and cooperative, making brushing and maintenance easy despite his beautiful long, silky coat. With his floppy ears, fluffy fur, and sweet expression, Scout has the look of a dog you'd want to curl up next to on a cozy evening. Scout may not be the loudest dog in the room or the first to demand attention, but he is the kind of loyal companion who quietly works his way into your heart. For someone looking for a calm, loving best friend, Scout could be the perfect match.

Story
Mark is a 3-year-old male Terrier mix with a look that’s just as unique as his personality. His coat is mostly bright white, accented by a couple of soft gray spots and the cutest spotted ears that make him stand out in a crowd. He’s a bit smaller than you might expect, but don’t let his size fool you—this little guy packs a whole lot of spunk into a compact package! Mark is truly one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet. He often looks like he’s smiling, with kind, hopeful eyes and a playful sparkle that’s hard to resist. He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention—the more action around him, the better! Mark loves being in the middle of the fun and would be thrilled to be the center of attention in his forever home. This energetic boy enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and especially loves a good game of chase in the yard. When playtime winds down, he’s happy to settle in with a good bone to chew on. Mark is always ready for adventure, fun, and whatever exciting thing might come next. Like many playful pups, Mark can be a little mouthy during play, but he’s been working on it and is improving with training. The good news is he already has a great foundation—he’s fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and has basic manners. Mark does wonderfully with other dogs and is fantastic with children, making him a great fit for many types of families. He would do especially well with an active household that’s ready to include him in the fun. If you’re looking for a small, energetic, one-of-a-kind pup with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Mark might just be the perfect addition to your family.

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Story
This 4.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix is the definition of a lovable goofball. With her quintessential Staffy face and those deep, soulful eyes, Stella has a way of melting hearts instantly — and her personality is just as beautiful. Stella is full of energy and absolutely loves her zoomies! She enjoys playtime with toys (tug is her favorite!) and can keep herself entertained, but nothing makes her happier than spending time with her people. She’s affectionate, eager to please, and has no concept of personal space — she’ll happily climb right into your lap for cuddles and attention. When it comes to other dogs, Stella can get a little overexcited at first, so slow and controlled introductions are important. She’s great with kids, but would do best in a home without cats. This smart girl is potty-trained and already knows her basic commands. She is crate-trained, but the chaotic shelter environment tends to stress her out, causing her to push her snout against her crate (hence the redness seen around her nose and lips). However, we're working with her to help her be more comfortable here, and she's getting better every day. Stella is searching for a family who can give her the exercise, structure, and love she needs to thrive — and in return, she’ll shower you with all the loyalty and affection you could ever want. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart (and an even bigger personality), Stella might just be your perfect match!
