Story
Meet Wally!Wally is a very sweet and adorable small/medium sized, 3 year old Brittany Spaniel/Terrier mix who is looking for a loving home. He has had quite a challenging life and hasn`t ever truly got to experience a family of his own.Wally loves to run, play, snuggle, and if there’s water involved? Even better. Splashing, exploring, hiking, road trips, he’s your guy. He’s got that “let’s go do something fun” energy mixed with “okay but now let’s cuddle” vibes.Now, full transparency: Wally comes with a few quirks… because, he’s basically a person. He’s not the type to move in after the first date. He prefers to get to know you, build trust, and form a real relationship before making any final decisions.Once that relationship is built, Wally loves fiercely. Expect zoomies, playtime, adventures, and some seriously top-tier snuggles.We’re not saying he’ll be the easiest addition to your life…But we are saying he’ll be one of a kind and absolutely worth it.If you think Wally might be your kind of adventure buddy, you can start building a relationship with him today!Wally would ultimately do best in a home with no other pets, although, he could potentially live in a home with a smaller dog with proper introductions and dog-savvy parents. Wally just needs someone with patience, someone to not give up on him.Wally`s adoption fee is $150 and includes core vaccinations, his neuter, heartworm testing, preventatives, and a microchip. You can stop in to meet all of our adoptable animals Tuesday-Saturday from 1pm-4pm. You can start the adoption process by filling out our questionnaire at agcshelter.org/adopt-1.

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
