HAULT! If you are looking for a hug-a-bull, kiss-a-bull, irrisist-a-bull, and totally adopt-a-bull guy, I am the guy for you! You might be wondering where I get a name such as Clovis (meaning renowned fighter); well when I was found I had some pretty bad injuries and was severely emaciated (for real I was basically a skeleton with skin and fur). Thank goodness MAS was able to take me in and nurse me back to health. It was pretty touch-and-go for a while, and I almost didn't make it...but with the help of MAS, we fought for my life and overcame the odds. Though I am "out of the woods" as they say, some TLC is still needed (and wanted,...I want all your cuddles!). Despite having such a traumatic past, I am such a baby dog. I LOVE people of all ages, I am such a happy boy, which just goes to show how resilient and positive I really am (except with cats...I am positive I am not a fan of those things). I have done well meeting some of the other dogs at MAS as well. I am just so ready to find a place that I am welcomed as part of a family, and feel safe that I will never have to go through anything like my past again. I have all the love in the world to give, if only I am given a chance. If you would like to give Clovis a chance, submit your adoption application to start the process!

Story
Beings that I came from a pretty rough background, I am a bit nervous with newbies…But once I trust you, buckle up and get ready for 80lbs of pure smoochiness and love! Just imagine the joy of having me leap into your life, but fair warning, I will test your balance as I lean in for never-ending snuggle sessions! Oh yeah, HOG ALERT! I prefer trotting through life with human buddies rather than any fluffy roommates, so prepare for all my affection to be solely yours! Older teenage humans are my favorite playmates, being a pretty big girl, I would hate to accidentally knock over little itty-bitty little ones. I am basically a professional squirrel exterminator, so having a good size yard for us to have big fun together would be a dream come true! One of my favorite things in the whole world (besides marinating in your affection) is running and playing around in the pond at the Sanctuary. I just love getting all spunky, sniffing out little critters, and zooming after toys! If you are interested in adopting me, put in an application at the MAS website (linked below)!

Story
"Already know you that which you need" - Yoda (the wise little green master from Star Wars) The one that you need is definitely me. I am more of a young padawon Yoda, in training to be your best friend! Even though I don’t hear much of anything, love and play are universal languages that we can figure out together! You could say I am a very social guy, I have met some other dogs and cats at MAS and have done awesome. I can get a little rambunctious though, so I would probably be best in a home without kids. Not every dog appreciates my hardcore play style either, but I have made several doggy friends hanging out at MAS. I am ready, willing, and able to use the force to take on adventures and overcome the evils of your stressful day! I can be an absolute goofball when I am outside playing (I love to be outdoors romping around in the yard). But I also love to get attention and curl up afterwards, maybe we can movie marathon with the best movies of all time…you guessed it, Star Wars! If Star Wars isn’t your thing though (we will agree to disagree), I am happy to hang out with you anyways and soak up your affection while you watch whatever else. "No greater gift there is, than a generous heart" - Yoda An adoption application you must fill out today! DOB: 5/1/2021 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.

Story
Resilient, loyal, and gorgeous - it's triple threat Trinity here! And I am ready to impress you with my heart-of-gold spunk! Let's start with my ideal digs – none of that noisy, rambunctious stuff for me. I'm all about that laid-back adult-only vibe, free from the hustle and bustle. Let's just bask in some peace and tranquility; I relish in some cozy cuddles but feel free to do your own thing. I'm perfectly content entertaining myself with my toys or a quick snooze. When it comes to strangers, I don't exactly roll out the welcome mat. It takes time for me to warm up and trust new friends, but once I do, it's a friendship for life! To join my pack is the real deal. Just know that we will stick together through thick and thin, creating all the best memories and sharing snuggles like there's no tomorrow! As happy as I am to indulge in an afternoon laze, there's nothing quite like getting my heart pumping and feeling the wind in my fur! Ever seen a powerhouse like me tear through a room, giddy with the zoomies? It's a sight to behold, let me tell you! And adventures? Count me in! Whether it's a rugged hike or a road trip for a pup cup, I'm game for it! Wait, did someone say treats? I've got a bit of a weakness when it comes to food. Show me a tasty snack, and I'll show you what a pup with determination and a hunger that just won't quit! And hey, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I'm living proof that you can teach this ol' girl a thing or two! Well, what do you say? Ready to join the pack of a tough, yet totally silly, and downright lovable pup like me? Check out the MAS website below to fill out your adoption application and let's get this VIP party started! DOB 2/26/17 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.
