Story
Hey there, I'm Bauman 'Bo', but you can call me Bo. I'm a young, playful, friendly, brave, and smart lad with the energy of an early bird. My tale? It's as funny as it gets. Once upon a time, I was chasing my tail, a classic dog pastime, right? But I spun so fast I got dizzy and fell into a laundry basket. The humans thought I was a load of dirty clothes and sent me to the shelter! Oops! But don't worry, I've got plenty of tail-chasing and laundry-basket-avoiding left in me. Adopt me, and let's make some fun, tail-chasing, laundry-basket-avoiding memories together! $300 for BONDED pair (rather than $200 each for $400 total)

Story
Hello, I'm Kodi. My life started like any superhero's - ordinary, until an extraordinary event. I was a normal pup, exploring the world, when I stumbled upon a mysterious object. It was a magical stone that granted me super intelligence. I used my newfound smarts to help other animals, but humans misunderstood my actions. They thought I was causing trouble, so they brought me here. I'm not mad, just a bit cautious. I've seen the best and worst of humanity, but I still believe in the good. I'm gentle, sweet, and curious about the world. I'm smart, too. I just need someone patient, someone who'll understand my past and help me trust again. I promise, once I trust you, I'll be the most loyal friend you'll ever have. Adopt me, and together, we can make our own superhero story. $300 for BONDED pair (rather than $200 each for $400 total)

Story
Hello, I'm Daigle the Dudley Labrador! You know, I ended up in this shelter because of a hilarious mix-up. I was so engrossed playing with a butterfly, I followed it all the way to the shelter's front door. I thought it was a new game! I'm a sweet, loyal, goofy, playful, and mellow chap who minds his manners. I've been known to sit patiently for my food and even fetch your slippers without a nibble. I may have followed a butterfly here, but I promise to follow you anywhere, with loyalty and lots of tail wags. Adopt me and let's make our own fun stories together!

Hi there, I'm Deacon! Life at the shelter is pretty cool, but I'm aching for a home of my own. I'm a mellow fellow who loves to goof around. My friends here say I'm a sweet, loyal companion. I've got a unique wiggle-waddle walk that makes everyone chuckle. I'm the kind of dog who loves to lounge around, but I also enjoy a good play session. I'm friendly with everyone I meet, and I'm always ready to give out kisses. I promise to be your loyal companion and bring joy to your life. Adopting me means gaining a forever friend who will always be there to make you smile. (I'm "special needs"--I am deaf.)
