Story

Meet Apollo! Apollo is an energetic, super funny American Bulldog mix youngster who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes! This goofy guy has two speeds: full-throttle playtime and deep, rock-solid naps. He sleeps like a champion and wakes up ready for more fun. He’s a total treat lover and lives for outdoor adventures — running, exploring, and burning off that puppy energy. Apollo would thrive in an active family who love being outside as much as he does. He’s also looking for a home with another dog so he can have a built-in playmate to wrestle and zoom around with. If you’re an outgoing family with a resident dog, ready for lots of laughs, outdoor fun, and sweet snuggle naps, Apollo might be your perfect match!

Story

Meet Lucy! Lucy is a beautiful young German Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but once she warms up, she becomes the biggest sweetheart and total lover who just wants to be by your side. This sweet girl has one very specific favorite toy: stuffed animal balls (no stuffed bears or other shapes — she’ll happily shred those apart!). She loves carrying them around, playing gentle fetch, and showing off her playful side with her favorite ball toys. Lucy may enjoy a home with kids who will give her time to build trust and shower her with affection. She prefers to be the only pet in the home so she can get all the attention and become the cherished family companion she was meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog who will grow more confident and affectionate every day, Lucy might be the perfect match for your family!

Story

Meet Penny! Penny is a super chill, laid-back Lab mix who’s ready to find her forever people. This sweet girl has a calm, easygoing vibe that makes her the perfect companion for a quiet, loving home. She’d thrive best with a couple (no little kids) who can give her the time and patience to blossom. Penny loves nothing more than chasing and playing with her hard balls — it’s her favorite game and a great way to see her happy zoomies! She has excellent recall, which makes her a joy on walks and in the yard. While she’s already a gentle, affectionate girl, Penny is still working on building her confidence. She’ll do best with a patient, consistent family who can help her grow more secure and outgoing at her own pace. If you’re a laid-back couple looking for a loyal, playful sidekick who will happily snuggle on the couch after a good game of fetch, Penny might be the one for you!
