Story
*Our longest resident of Animal Protective Foundation* Cowboy (or `Cow`, as his friends call him) is truly one of the sweetest souls you`ll ever meet. He has a gentle heart and a calm presence that makes you feel loved just by being near him. He`s incredibly loyal - the kind of dog who chooses his person and loves them with his whole heart. Cow loves curling up on the couch between foster mom and dad, watching movies, enjoying a few squeaky toys and trotting happily around the yard. He enjoys simple joys: short walks, chasing falling leaves, and just being close to the people he cares about. He is patiently waiting for his best friend - someone who wants a loving companion by their side. If you`re looking for a loyal, snuggly, tender-hearted pup to share your life with Cowboy is ready to fill that role with all the love he has to give. Please call the APF to schedule a time to meet with Cowboy.*He is good with other dogs

Story
Hey there all, I’m Boomerang! I’m a 3 year old, super handsome guy with eye catching merle coloring and energy to spare! I love being outside, exploring, and staying active. I know how to sit, down, paw, but I’d love to keep learning with someone who’ll help me master my manners. I’m a smart boy and eager to please! I prefer a household that has older kiddos. I might need a little time to settle into a new home, but once I do, I’ll be your loyal, playful companion for life. Please come meet me to see if we`re a paw-some match at APF between 12-4:15, Tuesday-Saturday!!!

Story
Hey there it`s me, Charlie! I`ve hijacked the computer to give you the inside scoop on what makes me so great, in my own words. So, where to begin? Well, for starters, I`m a hoot and a half! I like to think of myself as the life of the party, all full of energy and goofy antics, so I`ll be sure to brighten up your day. I swear, I`m lots of fun to be around - just toss me a toy and watch me go pea-nuts! I`m also a big foodie, so I`d say I`m pretty easy to please. I`ll even throw in a gentleman`s sit for good measure if you ask nicely. I love my people like, a lot, so be prepared to give all the pets and get plenty of kisses in return. I love my people so much that I`d really like to be the star of the show, so I think I`d thrive in a home without young kids or other dogs. What can I say? I`ve got some real main character energy! Oh, good grief! Are you still reading this? If I`ve convinced you that I am super awesome, don`t wait - come meet me at the APF!

Story
My name`s Shenzee--named after the hyena from The Lion King because of my beloved large ears. All the better to hear you with! I`m holding my own at the shelter as best as I can but I`m more than ready to take on the next adventure in a warm loving furrever home.WIth my energetic confident personality, I`m looking for a challenge, a job, or an active household that can put me to work. Wherever you go, I`ll follow! A mountain hike, a dog-friendly grocery store, a park, a car, the pool, the beach, a boat (I absolutely love the water), probably even the pits of Hell because I`ll be your ride-or-die rest assured. After getting out my energy, I love to relax with a good hearty chew-safe bone to wind down next to my favorite people.

Story
This 5-year-old sweetheart came to us from local animal control after surviving a domestic violence situation. Despite her tough past, she has nothing but love to give and is ready to start her new chapter surrounded by kindness. Her foster mom describes her as a snuggle bug who loves curling up under blankets, giving kisses, and always being close to her people. She enjoys watching the world out the window, greeting visitors, and playing gently with kids. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats, and she’s happiest when she knows she’s not alone. Jezzabelle already knows several commands (sit, down, stay, come, easy) and is working on her leash manners and house training. She loves her stuffy toys, enjoys a good bath, and calms nicely with music when she’s feeling a little anxious. Jezzabelle’s perfect family will be one that offers her a quiet, patient home where she can blossom and build her confidence at her own pace. She has done very well with the dog in her foster home so we believe she would do well with a calm canine brother. And her unique name? Those double “Zs” were chosen in honor of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing — a little nod to resilience, strength, and rock ‘n roll spirit. After everything she’s been through, Jezzabelle is ready for the safe, loving forever home she deserves. Could that be with you?
