Story
This 4-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!

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.

Story
Just one look at this guy and you’ll see exactly how he got his name — Happy’s signature smile never leaves his face. Whether he’s lounging beside his favorite person, romping around with his dog friends, or playing with a toy, he radiates pure joy. At 2.5 years old and about 70 pounds, Happy is a mixed-breed bundle of sunshine who truly loves life. He makes friends with every person and dog he meets and would be the perfect adventure buddy for anyone with a moderate to active lifestyle. Happy especially loves being outside, where he can stretch his legs, feel the breeze on his fur, and get in all the sniffs his heart desires. Sometimes he forgets he’s not a lap dog and will try to wiggle right into your lap for cuddles — he just has that much love to give! He’s potty-trained and crate-trained, though he’s still working on polishing up his basic manners. Happy gets along well with other dogs, though he’s still learning to respect boundaries during playtime. He's a big boy and has a mild prey drive, so he'd do best in a home without cats. With his infectious joy and go-with-the-flow attitude, Happy would fit right in with just about any loving home. If you’re looking for a companion who finds delight in every little moment, this cheerful guy is ready to make your days brighter!

Story
Meet Taylor, a 4-month-old mixed-breed sweetheart whose light coat and bright eyes give him a stunning, one-of-a-kind look. With his classic puppy-dog eyes and gentle expression, he’s impossible not to fall in love with. Taylor is a toy enthusiast through and through—if it squeaks, rolls, or can be chewed, he’s a fan! He loves making new friends and plays well with dogs of all sizes. Though he can be a little shy when meeting new people, a bit of patience and affection is all it takes for him to warm up and show his goofy, loving personality. He has all the puppy excitement you’d expect at his age and is ready to explore everything life has to offer. This adorable boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and kids. He’s still learning not to bark at cats, but with his gentle nature, we’re confident he can learn to get along with feline friends in time. Taylor is making great progress with both potty-training and crate-training and is very close to mastering them. Taylor would thrive in a home ready to give a quieter, sensitive puppy the chance to blossom. With a little love and encouragement, he’ll show just how fun, affectionate, and loyal he truly is. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to grow with your family, Taylor may be your perfect match.

Story
Just like her namesake, Chai is sweet, comforting, and best enjoyed curled up close. This 3-month-old female mixed breed is part of the delightful “Tea” Sisters, and she’s a gentle blend of softness and warmth. With her soulful eyes, oversized ears, and perfectly wrinkled little face, Chai is an instant favorite. Chai is a bit like a freshly brewed cup—she needs a moment to steep. New or chaotic situations can feel overwhelming at first, and she’s more reserved than her sisters, but once she adjusts, she’s smooth, cozy, and ready to go. She enjoys playful “tea parties” with her sisters, chewing on a bone, or enthusiastically de-stuffing a toy, but her favorite pastime is snuggling up into your chest and soaking in affection. She’ll happily drift off to sleep right in your arms or on your lap. Big dogs can make her a little nervous (quite common for young pups), but she does well with dogs of all sizes and we believe she could learn to comfortably live with a larger canine companion. She gets along well with cats and kids, too—making her a well-balanced blend for many households. Potty training and crate training are still brewing, but Chai thrives on praise and attention, so we expect training to be a breeze with positive reinforcement. She’s an affectionate, tenderhearted pup who would do wonderfully in any home looking for a loving companion—one who just needs a little extra time to warm up before showing her full, sweet flavor. If you’re searching for a puppy that’s equal parts cozy cuddle and playful spice, Chai might be the perfect cup for you.
