Story
Hi! My name is Gigi. I am a sweet young girl looking for my forever home. Treats and butt scratches are the key to my heart! I would love to find a home where I can gain confidence and learn to experience life in a positive way. I enjoy the company of other dogs as long as they are larger than me. I am very particular about who I share a home with and must have a feline-free home. If you are a patient person who would love to add a playful, fun and spunky young pup to your life then I'm your gal!

Story
Hi I'm Spot! I'm the biggest teddy bear you will ever meet! I weight a whopping 93 pounds. I love playing with large volley balls and tug of war. I have some pretty cool special traits too - I know sit and shake. I may look tough on the outside, but I have a soft and cuddly side too. I'm a little unsure of strangers however I have quickly learned to trust the shelter staff and fell in love with them already. They are doing a great job at teaching me how to love and trust. Given my size, a big home in a quiet area would be ideal for me. If you think your legs can handle this lap dog then come meet me!

Story
Meet Scotch! This handsome boy is a 10-month-old Pit Bull Terrier with a charming personality and an irresistible smile. He's got some growing up to do and could use a little training to polish up his social skills and manners. But hey, who among us couldn't use a little refresher course in etiquette? And let's not forget, Scotch is just a puppy, so cut him some slack, will ya? Scotch has hung out with some dogs at the shelter however he can be a little picky when it comes to who he plays with. When it comes to humans he loves everyone and anyone who's willing to give him a good pat on the head and throw his favorite toy. He's got an infectious energy and will keep you on your toes with his active lifestyle. So, if you're looking for a furry workout buddy, look no further!
