Story
Meet Adalyn! Adalyn is a 1-year-old spayed Pit Bull mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This sweet girl loves nothing more than cuddling up with her people after a day of fun and adventure. Adalyn is an active, playful pup who enjoys tug-of-war with her resident canine friends and loves spending time outdoors. She can be an enthusiastic and sometimes rough-and-tumble playmate, so she would do best with dogs that enjoy an energetic play style. When playing, Adalyn can be quite mouthy, which is typical puppy behavior she's still working through. Because of this, a home with older children or adults would likely be the best fit. She enjoys car rides, loves going for walks, and is making great progress with her leash manners. Adalyn is also doing very well with house training and happily settles into her kennel, which she considers her safe space. Food is definitely the way to Adalyn's heart! She's very food motivated and learns quickly when treats are involved. She eats her meals from a slow feeder because she gets a little too excited about mealtime, and she'll need a family that can help manage her tendency to counter surf when tempting snacks are left within reach. Adalyn is looking for a home that will continue her training, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and give her all the love and cuddles she craves. In return, she'll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and lots of laughs. Could Adalyn be the perfect addition to your family?

Story
Hi, I’m Solana! I’m an affectionate girl who loves being close to my people. My foster family says I’m incredibly loving, loyal, and full of personality. I’ve got a playful side too, and I’m always up for a game of tug-of-war, chase, or chewing on my favorite toys (especially if treats are involved!). I’m still learning to feel safe around new people and dogs, so I’ll need a patient home that can help me keep building confidence. I do best with a calm introduction to visitors and I’ve been making progress with regular walks. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will stick by your side, I might be your perfect match.

Story
Tuuka She’s a very smart and loving girl! She will be your best snuggle buddy. She has done well on the leash and on walks. She does great with my young children. She doesn’t mind cats, small dogs and likes big dogs if they give her space. She loves water play and doesn’t mind baths; which bring out her zoomies. She would make a great family pet
