Story
In Greek mythology, Hercules is a powerful hero. Guess I'm powerful as I can be admired for outstanding achievements like loving to play with dogs of all sizes and children, too. I'm a smart, young, big boy who can be shy at first but warms up quickly. Just a happy fellow who loves to be active and prefers being outside whether going on walks or runs, and playing in water is my favorite thing. If you're active and would like a pup that's the same, I'm your guy. Come meet me and maybe we can start the New Year out right.

Story
As you may have guessed I have agility, strength and mental fortitude. I am confident, outgoing and love to explore. I’m a true adventure buddy. I’m very trainable especially if treats are on hand. Squeaky toys are a fav. I already know “sit” and down, and eager to learn more! I’m looking for an active person/family for hikes, walks or just playing in the yard. I’m also a very loyal bench mate and relish being by your side. I’ll make you just as excited about life as I am. If you’re in need of grins and a zest for life that’s totally contagious, I’m your boy. A team member says, "Parkour is a great mix of being up for adventure and relaxing by your side. He's a young guy who would make a great walking/hiking buddy, and he also LOVES hopping up on a bench and just sitting next to you while you pet him."

Story
Hi! I’m Barbie! I’m a 1-year-old bundle of joy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I absolutely love people and will happily soak up all the pets, cuddles, and attention you’re willing to give. If you’re looking for an affectionate girl who wants to be your shadow, I’m your pup. I already know how to sit and I’m super eager to learn more—especially if treats are involved (they are my love language). I’m very treat-motivated and always excited to please, which makes training fun for both of us. When it’s playtime, I’m all in! I love running around, tossing stuffed toys, and chasing a ball like it’s my full-time job. I’d be an amazing match for an active home that enjoys outdoor adventures, play sessions, and lots of laughs. I’m a happy, loving girl who’s ready to bring fun, affection, and endless tail wags into your life. Could I be your Barbie girl?

Story
This girl is full of love, life and joy. Belle’s journey hasn’t been the easiest. Found as a stray as a young pup, she was quickly adopted and grew up in a home where she was deeply loved. Life changes have brought Belle back to us, and she’s once again looking for a family to love. This lively, affectionate girl is happiest when she’s with her people, chasing toys or running around with canine friends at the dog park. She’s wonderfully social with other dogs and gentle with little humans she’s met. Belle has gotten to spend some time outside of the shelter with friends who have taken her on a doggie date, where she rode nicely in the car, got in a great game of fetch and was well-behaved on a patio. She's also been an office buddy for staff members here, entertaining herself with treats and toys and being wiggly and social with everyone she meets. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart and remind you how bright life can be, come meet Belle. She’s ready to be someone’s best friend all over again! Belle's former extended family shares, "Belle is such an affectionate and playful dog. She is so smart. She learns quickly and has so much potential."

Story
Riley is a sweetheart, who is the calm, quiet half of the special pair of bonded best friends known as Riley and Boomer! She is easy to walk, and is happy to sit close by, getting pets and affection while Boomer zooms around the park. Since these two have been together for so long, they would thrive in a home that can appreciate the special bond that they have, and the balance of the silliness of Boomer with the steady, relaxed nature of sweet Riley! Come meet this duo!
