Meet Tomas, a sweet and soulful pup who is looking for a patient companion to help him shine!

A loyal, loving best friend who will gladly snuggle by your side for hours on end. If you have experience with shy dogs and are ready to offer a soft landing spot, come on in for a quiet, low-pressure meet-and-greet to see if you and Tomas are a match! Ready to Adopt?

Story

Meet Phoenix! This gorgeous 2-year-old pit mix is looking for a patient, understanding family to help her shine. Her foster said it only took a day or so for her to warm up and make herself at home, and then she was immediately asking for belly rubs! About Phoenix 💖 Once she trusts you, she is an absolute cuddle bug who adores belly rubs and affection. 🏡 House trained and enjoys a predictable daily routine. 🧸 Loves playing tug-of-war and going on peaceful walks. 🐶 Has done well meeting other dogs outside of the shelter environment! Her Ideal Environment 🤫 Needs a quiet, low-traffic home to adjust at her own pace. ♂️She is much more afraid of men than she is of women, and would prefer a woman-only home. ⚡ Sensitive to loud noises, new environments, and unfamiliar people, but adjusts well with time. She's even gone camping in a quiet woodsy spot with her foster and loved it! Adoption Process 👩‍💼 Phoenix may need multiple meet-and-greets to build trust with new people before going home! Ready to give Phoenix the patience she needs? Talk to our staff about her today! Ready to Adopt?
