Dizzy's Story Meet Dizzy! This handsome young adult came to the shelter as a stray and is more than ready to find a family to call his own. Dizzy is a friendly, affectionate boy who loves meeting new people and enjoys soaking up all the attention he can get. At around 50 pounds, he's an energetic pup who is always up for an adventure. He'll thrive with an active family that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and continued training. Because Dizzy prefers having all the attention to himself, he's looking for a home where he'll be the only pet—no dogs or cats, please! He could also use some work on his leash manners, as he gets excited and pulls hard during walks. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, he'll make a wonderful walking companion. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving best friend who's ready to leave shelter life behind and start his next chapter, Dizzy is waiting to meet you!

Mamma's Story Meet Mamma! This beautiful 2-year-old black-and-white Pit Bull came to the shelter as a stray and is now ready to leave her past behind for a loving forever home. Weighing in at about 64 pounds, Mamma is a strong girl who can pull on the leash, so she'll do best with someone who can continue working on her leash manners. Despite her strength, Mamma has a sweet and playful personality. She loves having fun, enjoys spending time with people, and is always ready for a game or adventure. She has tested well with other dogs and could be a wonderful canine companion with proper introductions. She may be a little too interested in cats, so a cat-free home is recommended. If you're looking for a loving, playful best friend with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Mamma might be the perfect match.

Story
Luna 's Story Meet Luna, a beautiful 3-year-old female husky with a striking presence and a spirited personality. Luna was adopted just a few months ago but has recently found her way back to us. Luna is a smart and active girl, as many huskies are, and she’ll do best with an owner who understands the breed and can meet her physical and mental needs. She can be selective with other dogs, so careful introductions are important, and she would do best in a home without cats. We also recommend a household without small children, where her boundaries and energy level can be respected. On walks, Luna is enthusiastic and tends to pull on the leash, so continued training will help her become a more polished walking companion. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, she has great potential to learn and grow. Luna is full of personality and is ready to bond deeply with the right person or family. If you have husky experience and are looking for a loyal, energetic companion, Luna just might be the perfect match. We are now accepting applications for this special girl.
