Story
Sasha is a sweet female Mastiff mix, 64 lbs and about 1½ years old, who is looking for a safe place to land. She was found as a stray and is believed to have possibly been hit by a car. A veterinary exam showed no broken bones, which is great news, but she is still being monitored for any possible after effects.Sasha is a bit timid at first, which is understandable given what she has likely been through. With a slow approach and a calm, gentle greeting, she begins to relax and show her softer side. She walks well on a leash and seems to appreciate quiet reassurance.As we spend more time getting to know Sasha, we will continue to share updates about her personality and needs. For now, she is a gentle soul who could really use patience, kindness, and a loving home.If you are interested in meeting Sasha, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.January 21, 2026, 2:02 am

Story
Bishop is a 3-year-old, black American Staffordshire Terrier who has been at the shelter for only a short time and is already winning over the volunteers with his charm. He’s currently on the thin side, so he’s enjoying three meals a day to help him put on some much-needed weight — and fortunately, this boy is not a picky eater.Bishop absolutely loves being around people and soaks up affection like it’s his favorite treat. One of his most endearing features? His sweet little webbed paws! We’re excited to find out if this means he’s a fan of water and swimming. Fingers crossed for a stretch of unseasonably warm weather so we can put his paw paddles to the test.As we learn more about Bishop and his personality, we’ll be sure to share every new detail about this lovable guy.If you are interested in meeting Bishop, please complete an Interest Form.

Story
Meet Bruce — the boy who’s been waiting for someone to see the gentle heart behind those big, hopeful eyes.Bruce is a 3 year old, 50 pound American Staffordshire Terrier with a story that tugs at you in all the right ways. He was found wandering as a stray, and although he tried his best to be brave, the shelter environment was overwhelming for him. The stress took a toll — he lost weight, shut down a bit, and quietly waited for life to get better.And then it did.Thanks to Sammy’s Hope, Bruce was welcomed into a loving foster home where he could finally exhale. In just a short time, he has blossomed into the dog he was always meant to be. He’s relaxed, curious about the world, and so affectionate it’s impossible not to fall for him. His appetite is back, he sleeps soundly through the night in his crate without a peep, and he’s rediscovered the simple joy of playing with his toys.Bruce is friendly, eager to please, and knows his basic commands. He’s also extremely food motivated — treats are his love language — which makes training fun and rewarding. His foster family describes him as a sweetheart who just wants to be near his people and soak up the comfort he missed for so long.Bruce isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for his home — the one where he can continue to feel safe, cherished, and part of something real and lasting. If you’re searching for a loyal companion with a tender spirit and a heart ready to bond deeply, Bruce is waiting.If you are interested in meeting Bruce, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.January 24, 2026, 12:16 am
