Story
Hi there! My name is Pudge and I am a senior Pitbull mix! I've had a complex past, and I am looking to finally settle down into my retirement home to live out my life! In my very first home I wasn't a huge fan of the other male dogs that I lived with. After we learned this, I became a strictly outdoors dog... until ultimately, I was surrendered to an animal sanctuary where I was supposed to live the rest of my life. At the sanctuary we learned I also do not like cats. Thankfully the people at the sanctuary knew that I could have a bright future in a real home with a family!! I am a gentleman at the shelter, and I really love my squeaky toys and treats. I can't wait to finally find a real home after 10 years of waiting!!

Hi there! My name is Ranger! I am a certified goofy boy! I am also a boxer. I'm known to do well with kids and dogs, but I don't like cats. I am full of energy and would love someone to play with or even go on walks/ hikes. I really enjoy playing with dogs, especially if they are tolerant and match my energy. I am a really good boy that is full of love and happiness. I promise to bring joy to my family every day no matter what!!

Hello!! My name is Kai and I am a Cane Corso/ Mastiff mix. I am a big goofy teddy bear! I am known to do well with dogs and kids but have been known to be a kitty chaser.

Hi! My name is Diablo and I am a... Great Dane! I know I am large in stature, but I am still working on gaining some weight! Even though I am a big dog I'm pretty gentle by nature! We aren't sure how I will do with cats and other dogs, but I do well with kids! I am very food motivated and still learning how to take treats gently. I would love to find a strong owner who can handle a big boy like me! I hope someone out there can give me all the love and attention that I deserve!

Story
Hi there! My name is Londyn and I am a Shepherd mix, I think?!! I have lived a complex life and am looking to finally give my nervous system a rest and settle into a FOREVER home. I had a rough start in life and was dealt a poor hand of cards. I ended up spending a few years at an animal sanctuary where I was set to spend the remainder of my life. Thankfully the lovely ladies there saw there was more to me then my past and decided to give me a chance at life again. They said I have so much potential, whatever that is. Do you see that in me to? I hope so because I really want a family again.

Story
Hello!! My name is Luna! I am a seasoned pro at the shelter. I have been here for a while and am still looking for my forever home to settle into. I am a little picky... but this does not stop me from being an amazing companion! I am pretty selective with my dog friends and cannot live with cats. I also would prefer to not live with kids as they can be loud and stressful. I do not like the shelter... it is so loud and there are too many people that I am unfamiliar with. Men can be scary and have hurt me in the past, so I definitely prefer a woman to bond with. Luckily my friends at the shelter have learned what I DO like. I enjoy socializing with the people that I know outside of dog wing, as well as playing with my favorite squeaky balls. I do have a lot of energy, so I spend time playing outside and walking on the doggy treadmill. I really just need someone to value me and understand my quirks. I have so much love to give, I just need someone who feels safe and won't put me in situations that make me uncomfortable. Please give me a chance...
