Story
I got bear from my mom trying to take him in because my mom got sick and he was just too much for her. He is a friendly energetic lab and likes to run and play. I want him to find a good home with someone with more time for him, I’m a truck driver so I work a lot of hours and can’t be home with him. He’s about 8yrs old and my mom has his paperwork. He’s protective over women and children but overall he’s friendly to everyone.

Story
Dr. Drake Ramoray reporting for duty...Known to my close friends as Draco when I'm not on the job saving hoomans. How you doing? I'm great but could be better if I had more free time outta HSWC med center.I'm the new golden boy. I take my responsibilities very seriously.I let the staff and patients know when they are in danger. Like when they walk by and don't take me out for a walk.I'm only looking out for their best interest. Exercise is so important. I'm also a health nut. You are what you eat and I eat well. I'm trim and athletic. 58 pounds. I get a good workout in everyday. I like being outside. Hiking, playing, running. I'm very active. Ya gotta Keep moving I always say. I'm single. Looking to settle down with the right person. I feel I'm pretty good looking.I have a beautiful honey coat I like to show off. It really shines in the sunlight. I'd even go so far as to say I really turn some heads as I jog through the halls. I have a good bedside manner but I get a bad rep for calling out what I need to the staff. Apparently getting attention should be done more subtly. Oh well. I'm a great companion one on one. I highly recommend meeting me. I think with an active family I will be a real good fit. Let's get together soon. I'm very popular. I expect to be on my way in no time. Moving up and out to bigger and better adventures.I passed all my board tests so far. ✅Cat✅Dog ✅People🏆Extra curricular high scores:Come.Sit.Down. Crawl. I'm Learning more everyday! I loves playing ball -not pickle - the OG tennis. One, two, three at a time no problem, extra large I can roll with that. 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾Charming🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾Fun loving🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾SmartAlthough I'm well roundedit's always a good idea to go slow you know with new info. The two week shut down is gold for setting me up for success. I'm new to all this and need time to unwind. I'm a smooth operator-My only bad quality is I'm a thief- I'm gonna steal your heart!!! Just come and meet me and fall in love! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 56.2 Age: 2yrs 11mths 0wks

Story
Meet Valentine - the boy who's ready to steal your heart.Valentine came to us as a stray and is estimated to be about 2 years old. He's a 53‑pound pittie with a gentle spirit and a whole lot of potential. He's up to date on all vaccines, has no current medical needs, and will be neutered before going home.Even though he hasn't been here long, Valentine is already showing us what a sweet, happy boy he truly is. He's warming up to the volunteers who take him out, and once he gets moving on his walks, he really connects with his person. He's one of our nicer walkers right now-easygoing, observant, and curious about the world around him.At this time, we believe Valentine may be dog‑selective, though it could simply be that he's still adjusting to the shelter environment. He has not yet been tested with cats, and we currently see no concerns with children.One of Valentine's most striking features is his amber eyes-a rare color in dogs. Some may find them unusual, but we think they make him uniquely handsome.Let his beautiful eyes win you over. Come meet Valentine today and see if he's the missing piece of your family.

Story
Gobble Gobble Gobble Thanksgiving is here and I am the main attraction!Hi I'm Gobbles! They said I was a silly boy so I needed a silly name. I am a one year old, pitty mix, who is currently 43 pounds. Which makes me the perfect medium size dog for any family. Speaking of family, we don't know about my past family, because I came in as a stray. However, I currently like dogs, cats, kids, and all humans! So I would be happy to join any family!I know Thanksgiving is soon, so I might not be able to be your Turkey-pal but the other holidays are right around the corner and I was told you can have some Gobbles Turkey any time!Come meet me, I can't wait to meet you!

Story
Well Hello it's me... 🍑 Peach !Peaches...Sweet peach....Peachy pie.....Sweet potato peach parfait.....One friend even calls me Peach crush. I'm all that AND more. I tell you -once you meet me- you'll be crushing on me for sure. I'm a delight.I hear it's my season. 🍑I mean really -when is it NOT peach season?!🍑🧡They say I should tell you about myself and how I came to be miss HSWC peach blossom queen. Well I seem to have gotten myself into a real peach of a situation and not the good sweet kind. I found myself out wandering and then was brought here to this boarding school for exceptional individuals. Some of these yappers are real show offs. I'm not into all that bragging. But I'm pretty popular. I guess that why I was voted queen. 👑I come bouncing out like -"hey what's going on." Are you a friend or not? Then I figure out who's who and what my game is. I figure things out pretty quickly.🍑I'm neat in my kennel.🍑Sweet peach personality.🍑Beautiful appearance, shiny coat with colorful markings. 🍑I'm figuring out who I want to play with: Easy and chill, no problem, small and playful ok. 🍑I'm Young and highly training motivated and the best part is - I'm just grown past that high maintenance, needy puppy stage! 🍑I have medium energy -just right for outdoor adventures. 🍑I'm an active peach, but once exercise is done I love cuddles and affection. 🍑I wait patiently in my kennel for attention.🍑I'm working on building my confidence so I can be my best self. 🍑Peach perfect shape-47 pint sized pounds! 🟢I like people. Friendly and fun.🟡I may run to check out new things but I lack confidence when I get there.🟡Cautious with cats. I'm Unsure if they can be trusted as friend or foe. Avoid them Is my plan.I'm looking for my own orchard and a nice family that will be there for me. You are formally invited to attend our peach festival and meet me so our friendship adventures can begin!🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡 Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 51.2 Age: 2yrs 7mths 3wks

Fendi here! Reporting for duty! I'm named for those high quality shoes and you are going to need to get yourself some so we can hit the ground running in style! I'm a busy gal looking for adventure.Chasing wildlife, cats, skunks ...an elusive game of hide and seek with the animal control officer under a shed is quite a party.

Come join me in my pursuit of a great life- no make that a pawsome life!!🐕‍🦺🟢🟡I came here with my son and another housemate. I can be alright with them two. Others we will have to see.
