Story
Carl is one big lovable goofball looking for a family who can appreciate all his quirks and charm. With his long legs, soulful eyes, and silly expressions, he’s got that “big puppy energy” in the best way. We suspect there’s a bit of Great Dane in his genes — not just because of his size, but also his gentle demeanor and goofy personality.Carl is sweet as can be and has a heart of gold, but don’t expect him to be in a rush to do things your way. He’s definitely got a stubborn streak — the kind that makes you laugh more than anything else. He might look at you like, “Are you sure we’re doing that?” before eventually deciding it’s a good idea (especially if treats are involved).Despite his size, Carl is incredibly gentle. He plays nicely, loves a good belly rub, and can often be found sprawled out in hilarious positions, legs everywhere, just living his best life. He`s still learning the ropes when it comes to manners, but he’s eager to please (in his own Carl way), and would thrive with someone who can keep training fun and consistent.Carl would do best in a home that has the space — and heart — for a big, playful, slightly clumsy guy who just wants to be loved. He’d enjoy a yard to romp in, maybe a canine sibling to play with, and a person or family who will embrace all the silliness he brings into the room.If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, snuggle up like he’s a lap dog, and love you with all his goofy heart — Carl might just be your perfect match.Our dog adoption fee is $150 and that includes up-to-date vaccinations and preventatives, spay/neuter, heart worm testing, and their microchip.Meet our adoptable pets Tuesday-Saturday from 1pm-4pm or get a head start on adoption by filling out our questionnaire at agcshelter.org/adopt-1

Story
Willie is a sweet, gentle goofball who came to us with Dolly and their five pups after a difficult chapter in their lives. He can be a bit nervous at first, but he warms up quickly and turns into the ultimate lap dog. Willie is heavily bonded with Dolly and absolutely loves running and playing by her side.True to his lovable “dunder” nature, Willie is often spotted licking the glass of his kennel with his nose completely smooshed up against it, earning laughs wherever he goes. Like Dolly, Willie didn’t have much potty training in his previous home, but he’s already learning fast and choosing to potty outside more than inside. We hope to find Willie a home with Dolly, but would consider separating them if needed. Willie is ready for a patient, loving family who will cherish his silly heart and help him continue to grow.Our dog adoption fee is $150 and includes their spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccinations and preventatives. You can find our adoption questionnaire at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 or stop by Tuesday-Saturday from 1pm-4pm to meet all of our adoptables.

Story
Daisy is a sweet, young pup with a heart full of love, but she’s had a rough start. Just under a year old, she was surrendered due to extreme separation anxiety and is going to need a little extra support at first. At the shelter, she has just started treatment for anxiety and will likely need continued care post-adoption.Daisy would thrive in a home where she can slowly learn structure and that being apart from her people is okay. This may include kennel training, extra exercise, and plenty of enrichment activities to help her build confidence and, hopefully, be weaned off her anxiety medication over time.Despite her struggles, Daisy is a loving, sweet girl who is ready to give all the affection she has to offer to the right person who is willing to help her along her journey.Our dog adoption fee is $150 and includes her spay, heartworm testing, up-to-date vaccinations and preventatives, and her microchip. You can apply at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 or stop in to meet Daisy and our other adoptables Tuesday–Saturday from 1pm–4pm.
