Stella is a really sweet girl who is just looking for someone to give her the attention and love she needs.

Story
I rescued Oakley from a tough situation a little over 3 years ago and he instantly became my best friend. He loves to cuddle, play in the rain, and play tug of war. Oakley is about 4 years old. I have never had any problems with him around other dogs or children. He is the sweetest guy but unfortunately I can’t take him with me when I move.

Story
Meet this handsome hunk of love named Sasha! He originally came into the shelter mid September 2021 when his owner could no longer keep him. He was adopted by an older couple who’s wife wasn’t able to walk him so he came back. Shortly later he was adopted and was there ~9 months and then owners returned him when they couldn’t afford to keep him. He came in missing hair on his back side but with a good diet and monthly flea prevention he should be good. Maybe a daily Zertec since he has sensitive skin and can be itchy. He is settling in again and really hopes his stay isnt too long. He can have bursts of energy where he can get jumpy and wants to do zoomies but settles down after play time and a good walk and wants to snuggle! He is an adult dog around 5 years old, neutered, and is current on shots. Just a happy guy who is a good size and full of love to share. Walks great on the leash and seems very loyal. Might you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for Sasha?!
