Story
I got Ulli from the Czech Republic while stationed in Germany with my ex in 2018. She will be turning 9 this year. It pains me to part with her but due my military career and being single it is difficult to care for her. Even in her older age she still has the energy of a puppy and with me being gone for most of the day I feel horrible I can’t spend the time with her that she needs. She is the sweetest dog towards people and just wants love and attention. She’s good with some dogs but that’s on a case by case basis. She got along fine with my other dog but she is with my ex now. I’m looking for a loving home and owners that have the time to give her the attention she deserves. Ideally someone with property so she can run and play outside. Someone that’s in shape and willing to take her on walks and play with her.

Story
Meet Tomas, a sweet and soulful pup who is looking for a patient companion to help him shine! While he can be very nervous in new environments and around unfamiliar faces, underneath that timid exterior lies a huge heart. Once he knows you, Tomas transforms into a playful, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than cozying up for a good cuddle session. 🐾 Needs a Gentle Hand: Tomas is looking for an adopter experienced with fearful dogs who understands how to read canine body language and provide a calm, structured environment. 🛋️ Time to Blossom: Adopting Tomas is a journey of trust—he needs time and space to process new situations, so plan on giving him at least a full week to decompress and warm up to his new routine. 🎾 Playful Sidekick: Once he feels safe and secure, his fun, happy energy comes out, and he’ll gladly show you just how lively and entertaining he can be! 💖 Ultimate Cuddle Bug: The reward for your patience? 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?
