Story
Meet May — Gentle, Loyal, and Ready to Bloom May is a timid but incredibly sweet 1-year-old mixed-breed girl who, was found abandoned in the woods of a rural area. Scared and unsure, she didn’t know what to expect — until kindness found her. She quickly bonded with her finder (a staff member at our vet clinic) and followed her home, grateful for a safe place to land. Since entering foster care, May has been slowly but surely discovering that life can be full of good things. She’s blossoming more each day and has learned to enjoy soft pets, yummy treats, and quiet affection. She walks beautifully on a leash and has earned a reputation as a top-tier snuggle buddy. May rests calmly in her crate, has excellent house manners, and gives her foster mom’s cats their space without a fuss — truly a respectful little lady. This gentle girl would thrive with a patient, loving family who can continue helping her build confidence. With the right people, May will bloom into the loyal, devoted companion she’s meant to be. If you’re ready to give May the loving home she’s been waiting for, she’ll reward you with trust, tenderness, and endless affection. Fill out our short match me form for May at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Dog May is fully vaccinated, heart-worm negative, spayed and microchipped!

Story
Meet Pops – The Playful Brainiac Pops is a 1-year-old Beagle/Dachshund mix weighing around 40 pounds, and he's ready to charm his way into your heart! This boy is all about fun and games—tennis balls are his absolute favorite.. He never turns down a good game of fetch. He’s also an eager learner and loves engaging with his people, especially when treats are involved. Pops can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and a gentle touch, he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he’ll stick by your side like the loyal, loving companion he was meant to be. You may notice a little something unique about Pops—he has a cherry eye that was surgically corrected but has since relapsed. Our vet has examined him and assured us it’s purely cosmetic, just adding to his quirky charm. Pops is looking for a loving home where he can continue to build confidence, enjoy lots of playtime, and soak up all the affection he deserves. If you’re looking for a fun, devoted, and one-of-a-kind companion—Pops is your guy! Ready to meet him?

Meet Perry – Your New Best Friend in the Making Hey there, I’m Perry! I’m an 1-year-old Lab mix weighing about 60 pounds—and I’m basically a bundle of love wrapped in fur. My heart is full, my tail never stops wagging, and I’m on a mission to make everyone smile! Life is one big adventure to me—I love exploring, sniffing out new spots, and turning any ordinary moment into a fun one. Whether it’s a long walk, a romp in the yard, I’m always up for a good time. But when the fun winds down? I’m a world-class cuddler. Belly rubs? Yes, please. Snuggles on the couch? Don’t mind if I do. I might be a bit goofy, but I’m also incredibly sweet and totally devoted to my people. I'm still learning the ropes (I am still a pup, after all), but I promise to bring laughter, love, and just the right amount of mischief into your life. Why adopt me? Because every home deserves a Perry! Fill out a quick “match me from” for me at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Dog to be pre-approved!
