Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $450 - Rex came to the shelter as a surrender, but while his past is a mystery, one thing is very clear—he is a truly fantastic dog with the potential to blossom into a once-in-a-lifetime companion in the right home. Rex loves being with his people and soaks up attention like a pro, especially when scratches are involved. True to his pittie nature, he can get a bit rough and mouthy during play, and he can be nervous around young children. Because of this, Rex would be best suited for a home with teenagers if kids are present. This smart boy is very food-motivated and happily offers a paw for a yummy treat—he could do it all day if you let him! This makes him a great candidate for ongoing training and learning new skills. After about 20 minutes of play, Rex turns into a classic couch potato and is more than ready for some quality nap time. With proper introductions, Rex could do well in a home with other dogs and even cats. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s equal parts playful and snuggly, Rex is ready to become your new best friend

Story
Come visit me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Kayne is a young, energetic puppy with a big personality and even bigger potential. He’s strong, jumpy, and still learning his manners, so he’s looking for an experienced, patient home that’s ready to commit to training and continued socialization. Kayne will do best as the only pet in the home and in a household without young children, where he can get consistent structure and focused attention. With guidance, routine, and positive reinforcement, Kayne has all the makings of a loyal, fun-loving companion. He’s eager to learn and will thrive with someone who enjoys working with an active dog and helping him grow into his best self. If you’re looking for a one-and-only pup to train, bond with, and build a strong relationship with, Kayne could be the perfect match.

Story
Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Meet Sonny — Big Personality, Big HeartSonny is a lively, lovable dog with a smile that could brighten any room. He’s full of energy, personality, and enthusiasm for life, and he’s searching for a home that understands and appreciates his bold, playful spirit. Sonny loves to play and can get a little rough in the excitement of the moment, so he’s looking for an adults-only home with people who enjoy an active, fun-loving companion. He’s not a match for homes with cats or kids, but he may do well with another dog — as long as they meet first. Sonny can come on strong during introductions, so a slow, structured meet-and-greet is important to make sure everyone gets off on the right paw. With the right guidance and a family who understands his enthusiastic play style, Sonny will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless goofy charm. If you’re ready for a new best friend, Sonny can’t wait to meet you. ---
