Story
Make sure you let us know you saw Bren on Adopt-a-pet. At 13.5 years old, Bren has found herself as one of the many unclaimed strays here at the shelter. Given her age, this is especially heartbreaking as she deserves the softest blankets, the most delicious food, and an owner that adores her. A Boxer mix, she still has a little pep in her step, and a whole lot of love to give. We want all the best for Bren so we want for her to be the only pet and we're hoping for a fenced yard too. P.S. Bren did have a lipoma mass removed on the R side of her rib area on 10/11. She will need to have a re-check 14 days from that date. *Bren is not accepting of other dogs or cats. We're not sure what she's experienced in her past life that has turned her off from them, but at this stage, she deserves to relax and enjoy the rest of her life the way she prefers.

Make sure to let us know you saw Beau on Adopt-a-pet. Please contacted the shelter before coming in to meet, Beau is relaxing in a foster home! Beau the beautiful has got an A++ on just about everything. He will steal your heart the second you look into those big brown eyes! House trained ✅ does his business outside, is calm and collected in the house no need for a crate. Sleeps through the night. Beau is a couch/bed kind of dog... LOVES HIS CUDDLES and just wants to be right by your side. So preferably someone who doesn't mind sharing their couch for the best snuggles you'll ever get! People friendly ✅ is great with anyone even kids. Other pets: Beau is playful and friendly with bigger dogs but still may need to be the only one in the home. Possible meet and greet. Small dogs he doesn't seem to mind but not introduced enough to tell. Cats ❌ Car rides ✅ great in the car, loves the windows! Walks✅ a dream to walk, will stay right by your side. He loves to play and will require someone to be active with him daily. Great at fetch and bringing the ball back! Grooming/feeding✅✅ eats great, stays relaxed in the tub for a bath. Overall Beau is such a sweetheart. Is attentive and will follow you around. Very loyal and loving. Equal parts playful and relaxed. So, if you are in need of a walking buddy or someone to cuddle up and watch some holiday movies with Beau is the one. ❤️🐾

Story
Make sure to let us know you saw Peanut on Adopt-a-pet. Big. Beautiful. Brown-eyed Baby. That is our 7 month old Peanut and she is growing up fast. She is smart, eager to learn and to please, and loves lots of hugs and snuggles. She picked up sit and shake almost immediately. During her walks it's as if everything out there is completely new and worthy of sniffing and exploring. But she's learning to settle down and responds to some commands to keep on track. She is house-trained and crate-trained. She is remarkably calm in the house for her age, takes good naps, and enjoys a good chew bone and some toys. She gets along well with our other dog and is learning to share our attention. Her spay is coming up on October 30. It would be amazing for her to be able to settle in and complete her learning with her forever family. Please call first before meeting me, I decided to relax with a foster mom and another dog.
