Story

Bruce came to us as a stray and has always been timid when it comes to new people, but once he does warm up to you, he is just a sweetheart. He needs somebody willing to maybe visit a couple times or have one really long visit to get him comfortable, after that he becomes so loyal and loving it's amazing. I don't feel like he's been treated the best by humans, so somebody willing to understand that and just give him time to understand that humans can be good would be the best thing for him. Bruce just needs somebody devoted to loving and caring for him.

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

This beautiful 4-5-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix is a true sweetheart with so much love to give! We believe she may have spent her past being used for breeding, but you would never know it by how loving and affectionate she is. She absolutely adores people and attention, and all this girl wants is to be near someone who will show her the love she deserves. She enjoys going for walks, spending time with her favorite people, and simply being by your side. She has a more relaxed personality and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving dog to share life's quieter moments with. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or simply a best friend to come home to, this girl has so much love to offer. One of the sweetest things about her is that she seems to be figuring out how to just be a dog. She can be a little clueless when it comes to playing, and we think she may need someone to show her the joys of toys and playtime! She has already started showing little glimpses of her personality, and we truly believe there's so much more to her just waiting to shine with the right person. Watching her discover new things, gain confidence, and learn how fun life can be, could be such a rewarding experience. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, easygoing companion who will happily keep you company and grow more comfortable in her own personality with each passing day, this precious girl could be the one for you. She has so much love left to give, and we would love nothing more than to see her find a home where she can finally be someone's beloved companion and enjoy the happy, peaceful life she's always deserved.

Freya

Great Pyrenees Irish Wolfhound

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Adopted her a couple of years ago saving her from being put down. She is extremely sweet and would be a lap dog if you allow it. We unfortunately don't give her the attention or time she deserves and are having to make the difficult decisions to find her a new home. She will dig under fences if they're not set up right. She is also afraid of thunder and other loud noises. Calming treats tend to help with that. I would love to find her a home that gives her the attention she deserves with a large fenced in yard so she can run with another dog so she can play. She is good with cats, others dogs, and children. She adores our infant.
