Story
Meet Archie! Being part Cattle Dog, a working and herding breed, he thrives best in an enriching environment that allows him to be the best version of himself. Somewhere where he can around in a spacious back yard with a herding ball or perhaps a farm is where he`s sure to display his skills. Playful, mellow, intelligent, independent, and friendly, Theo makes for a great companion for you and other furry friends if you have them. He came to the APF with his bestie Theo so he`d love to go home with him if possible and if there`s kids, teenagers and up.

Story
Hi there… I’m Meadow. I’m a 3 year old girl with a gentle heart who’s still learning that the world can be a safe place. I can be pretty nervous at first, so I’m hoping to find a quiet, patient family that will give me the time, structure, and stability I need to feel comfortable. Once I know I’m safe, I promise to be a very loyal, snuggly, loving companion. I`ve also lived with kitties before, but never with dogs. So if you have a canine friend, I would have to meet them first. Because I can get overwhelmed, I’d do best in a home with kiddos 13+ who understand that I just need a little extra kindness and patience while I blossom. Please come meet me to see if we`re a paw-some match at APF between 12-4, Tuesday-Saturday!!!

Story
Theo`s got pure personality packed away in his gorgeous mane of fur and maybe even the secrets of the universe. Being part Cattle Dog, a working and herding breed, he thrives best in an enriching environment that allows him to be the best version of himself. Somewhere where he can around in a spacious back yard with a herding ball or perhaps a farm is where he`s sure to display his skills. Playful, intelligent, independent, and sweet are just a few of Theo`s traits but overall, he`s a dog that looks out for other animals making him a great additional buddy if you already have furry friends. He came to the APF with his bestie Archie so he`d love to go home with him if possible and if there`s kids, teenagers and up.

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?
