Story

Meet Perdita: She has never met a stranger-mostly because she considers everyone a friend.Perdita is one of those dogs who seems to operate under the assumption that every person she encounters is here specifically to meet her. And honestly? She may have a point. This girl is an absolute social butterfly and is always happy to say hello, make a new friend, and collect a little extra attention along the way.Perdita is what I like to call a "people's pit." She's affectionate, outgoing, playful, and has that wonderfully goofy enthusiasm that makes it very difficult not to smile when she's around. She loves being with her humans, enjoys a good play session, and is always ready to see what kind of fun might be happening next.She's also a big fan of getting out and about. Perdita enjoys a good stroll where she can take in the sights, sounds, and-most importantly-the smells. Her nose has opinions, and she intends to hear all of them. Walks with Perdita are less about setting a personal speed record and more about enjoying the journey, exploring the world, and stopping periodically to investigate something that is clearly Very Important.When she's not busy making friends with the humans, Perdita is happy to spend time with canine companions, too. She's dog friendly and could potentially do wonderfully in a home with another dog, provided they're a good match for her personality.If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, people-loving dog with plenty of personality and absolutely no interest in being a wallflower, Perdita may be your girl. She's ready to bring some joy, some silliness, and quite possibly a little bit of chaos into your life-and she would very much like to get started.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 47.1875 Age: 0yrs 11mths 3wks

Story

Meet Chicago: The Kind of Guy Who Takes Friendship SeriouslyChicago isn't the kind of guy who meets someone new and immediately assumes they're his new best friend. He's a little nervous around new people and likes to take some time to get to know you. And honestly? We think that's pretty understandable. Chicago doesn't hand out his trust to just anyone-but once you're in his circle, you get to see what a sweet and affectionate guy he really is.Chicago may not be the life of the party, but he's perfectly happy hanging out with his favorite person. He enjoys sitting with you, getting some affection, and simply being close to the people he trusts. He's not here to demand that you entertain him 24/7. Sometimes, his idea of a great day is just being together-and we think that's pretty special.And Chicago's social circle isn't limited to humans! He's good with other dogs and cats, so he may be happy to have some furry friends around to share his home with.Chicago's ideal person will be someone who understands that the best friendships take time to build. Give him patience, let him come to you at his own pace, and don't expect him to become an instant social butterfly. In return, you'll get to watch this nervous guy transform into an affectionate companion who genuinely enjoys being by your side.If you're looking for a dog who takes friendship seriously, Chicago is ready to take his time, get to know you, and hopefully make you his person.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Matrix: your new best friend, whether you're ready or not!Matrix is excited to see you. He's excited to see everyone. Honestly, if you're within his general vicinity, Matrix has already decided you're his new best friend.I like to call him a "people's pit" - the kind of dog who is an absolute ambassador for the breed. He's affectionate, social, playful, and genuinely thrilled to spend time with his people. Give him some attention and he'll happily soak it up. Give him a toy and he's ready to party. Give him a chance to get outside and put his nose to work, and you've got one very happy dog.Matrix especially enjoys those good, leisurely walks where his nose takes the lead. He loves exploring his surroundings and investigating all the fascinating smells the world has to offer, so his ideal human will appreciate that a walk with Matrix is about more than just getting from Point A to Point B.And despite his enthusiasm for pretty much every human he encounters, Matrix is also dog friendly! He could potentially be a great addition to a multi-dog household with the right canine companion.Cats, however, are a hard no. Matrix gets a little too excited about feline friends and hasn't quite figured out the appropriate social etiquette. For his safety and the safety of any resident cats, he'll need a cat-free home.If you're looking for a big-hearted, people-loving, playful pit mix who will greet you like you're the most exciting thing he's seen all day - every single day - Matrix would love to meet you. And fair warning: he's probably already excited about it.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.

Story

Meet Dulce: the sweetest little people-watcher you'll ever meet.Dulce came to SAVE after her owner experienced a medical hardship and could no longer care for her. While that change was undoubtedly difficult, Dulce hasn't let it dampen her gentle spirit. She greets everyone she meets with a happy little scamper, convinced that every new person is simply another friend she hasn't met yet.One of Dulce's favorite pastimes is climbing up into the window to keep watch over the outside world. Not looking out the window - perching in it. She'll happily spend her afternoons soaking up the sunshine, quietly observing squirrels, passing cars, birds, and anyone lucky enough to wander by. Honestly...we're beginning to suspect she's part cat.When she's not working her neighborhood watch shift, Dulce is happiest out on a leisurely walk with her nose glued to the ground. Every leaf, blade of grass, and mysterious scent deserves a thorough investigation, and she's more than happy to take her time exploring the world one sniff at a time.Dulce is simply a lovely dog. She's affectionate without being demanding, curious without being chaotic, and has a calm, easygoing nature that makes her a joy to be around. If you're looking for a faithful walking buddy, a professional sunbather, and a sweet companion who will happily brighten every day with her gentle presence, Dulce is ready to find her forever home.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.

I'm a gentle soul who just wants to be close to you, soaking up all the love you're willing to give.I've got a soft spot for treats - especially anything bacon-flavored (yum!) and I'm always happy to share my calm, loving energy with everyone around me. I get along great with humans of all sizes and I'm just the kind of pup who makes a house feel like home. If you're looking for a cuddly companion with a tender heart and the cutest little whiskers, I'm right here waiting for you.I am currently in a foster home and my foster family would be happy to tell you all about ME!
