Story
Cesar was an owner surrender who came to our shelter through no fault of his own, and at 130 pounds of pure love and slobbers, this gentle giant is ready to find his forever home. 💙 Despite the big change in scenery, Cesar has remained incredibly sweet and friendly with everyone he has met. He’s treat and food motivated, loves cozy dog beds, enjoys playing with toys, and already knows basic commands like sit, stay, and shake. He also enjoys being brushed, making bonding time even more special. While we’re unsure how he does with other dogs in all situations, his previous owner shared that he lived with small dogs and he appears fairly independent around other canines. A meet and greet is highly recommended to ensure a great match with any potential dog siblings. Cesar is truly a big sweetheart who can’t wait to share his love with a new family. 🐾

Story
Meet Chopper 🐾 Chopper is a 2-year-old Boxer with a big heart and an even bigger smile. He came to us after his previous family faced financial hardship and could no longer afford his food and medical care. Transitions like that can be confusing for a young dog, but Chopper has handled it like a champ. In our care, staff have observed Chopper to be friendly, calm, and people-oriented. He enjoys human company and settles nicely once he’s comfortable. Like many young Boxers, Chopper still has some learning to do—his former home reported behaviors such as chewing and excessive barking, which are common signs of boredom, stress, or not having enough outlets for energy. With consistent structure, enrichment, and positive training, Chopper is expected to thrive. He’ll do best with an adopter who understands the Boxer breed, is patient, and ready to help him continue learning good habits. In return, Chopper offers affection, loyalty, and that classic goofy Boxer charm. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady companion who just needs a fresh start and a little guidance, Chopper might be your guy. 💙
