Story
Hi, I’m Eryn 🌻 and yes, I’m as pretty as I sound ☺️ I’m about 2 years old, which means I’m the perfect mix of “let’s play” and “let’s nap immediately after” 😉 I take approximately zero seconds to fall in love with humans, so if you have a face, I will kiss it. If you have arms, I will hug you 🥰 Other dogs… I like to keep things a little mysterious 🧐 at first. I’ll take a minute, do some judging, and then BAM 💥 besties ❤️ Once I warm up, it’s full play mode like I’ve known them my whole life 🎾 I do great with both male and female dogs 🐾 I am also a very important household employee 😌 Professional bed tester, I sleep at the foot of your bed 💤 Certified snack inspector, I check your counters for safety 😋 Fetch enthusiast, returns may vary unless snacks are involved 🎾 Now let’s talk about food 🦴 because I LOVE food 🤤 deeply, emotionally, spiritually. I’m working on my manners, but for now just know what’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is… something I’m very interested in. My humans say I’m improving every day, especially with structure and guidance ☺️ I just need someone patient to keep helping me be my best self. I’m actually super smart 🧠 I learned the doggy door just by watching my dog friends 👀 I know how to sit, and I try really hard to wait for my food… but sometimes the excitement wins 🫣 We’re working on it, okay? A few of my adorable quirks 🥰 I do the cutest little frog sploot when I lay down 🐸 I like my human to go first into new rooms… you know, for safety reasons 🦺🥽 I stay close to my people once I love you, which takes about 0.2 seconds 💕 I’d do best with older, respectful kids and a home that understands my breed and is willing to give me structure, consistency, and love. I don’t need perfect, just someone willing to guide me 🥹 Because underneath my goofy, snack-obsessed, slightly dramatic personality is a really, really good girl who just wants to love her people with her whole heart 💜 So… are you ready for kisses, cuddles, and a little bit of counter supervision? 😉

Story
💕 Hi there… I’m Abby! 💕 I’m a 4-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as my adorable puppy dog eyes 🥹 Life wasn’t always easy for me. I spent a long time fending for myself and dreaming 💭 about what it would be like to have a family of my very own. But those days are behind me now, and I’m ready for my happily ever after 📖🏰 Everyone says I’m the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet, and honestly… I think they might be right 🥰 My favorite thing in the whole world is being close to my people. Whether we’re snuggling on the couch 🛋️ taking a stroll 🐾 or getting cozy at bedtime 💤 I just want to be wherever you are. If you move, I’ll probably follow. If you sit down, I’ll probably join you. It’s called commitment 💕 I’m fully vetted, house trained, and working hard on my leash skills. I have wonderful manners, a gentle soul, and enough love to last a lifetime ❤️ I’d be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only princess 👑 or I could share my kingdom with a young, friendly dog who wants to be my buddy 🐾 My rescue friends say I’m grateful for every soft bed, every belly rub, and every kind word. I don’t take love for granted… I treasure it 💝 After spending so much time on my own, all the little things mean so much to me. What I’m really looking for is a family to call my own 🏡 A place where I never have to wonder if I’m safe, loved, or wanted ever again. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, professional cuddle expert, and best friend who will adore you with her whole heart, I think we might be a perfect match 🥹 Love, Abby 🤍🐾 P.S. I’ve spent long enough wishing for a family. Maybe my forever home is with you? 💕🥹🐾

Hi I am Loki and I am looking for FUREVER my family. Lets say I love people and tolerate other dogs. I actually ignore other dogs, no need for both of us to act the fool. I want to be an only canine child. I am told I am a goofball with a huge personality, very loyal and all Rotti. Is you family missing a Rotti who is overflowing with love, a tremendous sense of humor and a built in companion and protector?

Story
Im only four months old, which means Im one minute Im chasing a toy, the next Im trying to figure out why my own feet are so interesting. Life is pretty exciting when everything is brand new. Everyone keeps calling me a good girl, and I think thats because I love everybody. I havent learned to judge anyone yet. I just assume the whole world wants to be my friend. Now lets talk about something important. Im not trying to stay this tiny forever. I know its hard to believe because Im so cute right now. But Im going to grow into a big, strong girl, and with that comes a little responsibility. I need a family thats ready for puppy life. That means training, patience, consistency, and understanding my breed. Right now Im learning every single day what kind of dog Im going to become. The time you put into me today is what creates the amazing adult dog youll have tomorrow. Please dont fall in love with my puppy face and forget that puppies grow up. I want a family thats just as excited about the goofy teenager and loyal adult Ill become as they are about these oversized paws and floppy ears. If youre looking for a best friend to raise, teach, laugh with, and love for the rest of my life, I promise Ill make every chewed up shoe, every training session, and every happy tail wag worth it. Now who is ready to help me become the very best version of me?

Story
Hi friends! My government name is Crunchwrap Supreme, but my foster family calls me Ajax. Honestly, I’ll answer to either. If you call me “good boy,” I’ll probably come even faster. 😏 Yes, my name is inspired by Taco Bell. 🌮 I may not come with cinnamon twists, but I will twist myself into your lap. I might be a Crunchwrap, but I’m missing the crunch. I’m really more of a soft taco. 🌯 Sweet, gentle, a little awkward, and just happy to be included. My foster family says I’ve been an absolute dream, 💭 especially for their very first foster dog. Apparently, I set the bar pretty high. They describe me as the perfect mix of dependent and independent. I love following my people from room to room, but I’m also perfectly happy doing my own thing, whether that’s sunbathing ☀️ in the yard, snoozing 💤 in my crate, or patiently waiting for our next adventure. 🚗 Speaking of adventures, I love my walks! Give me about 30 minutes to stretch my legs and sniff the neighborhood, and then I’m more than ready to come home, loaf on the couch beside you, and pretend we both had a very productive day. I live with a Doberman and two cats, and I’ve been nothing but respectful. I don’t chase the cats, I don’t start drama with the dog, and if another pup wants to zoom around for a few minutes, I’m happy to join in before returning to my regularly scheduled lounging. I’ve even met horses 🐴 and donkeys 🫏. They seem suspicious. 🤨 I keep my distance, but I’ve never been aggressive. Everyone keeps telling me how gentle I am. I take treats so softly that people double check to make sure I actually grabbed them. I have zero interest in guarding my food, and I eat like a true gentleman. 👔 Basically, I’m the opposite of someone protecting their last Taco Bell sauce packet. 🙃 Training? Easy peasy. I already know sit, down, paw, and heel, and I walk really nicely on a leash. My foster family says I’m ridiculously easy to teach because all I really need is a dehydrated chicken 🍗 treat and someone reminding me how handsome I am. When it’s time to leave the house, I’m a fantastic passenger. 🚗 Just give me the back seat. If your truck is really tall, though, I might politely ask for a little boost. 😅 At home, I’m all about routines. Breakfast, a potty break, crate time with my stuffed Kong while my foster family is gone, a walk or training session, dinner, a little playtime, especially if my stuffed monkey or a game of tug is involved, and then it’s straight to couch cuddles before bed. I actually love sleeping in my crate, especially if there’s a blanket over it. It feels cozy and safe. 🥹 I do have one special request if I ever get groomed. 💈 I’d really appreciate wearing my Happy Hoodie while I’m being dried. Loud dryers aren’t exactly my favorite, and it helps me feel safe. We all have comfort items. Mine just happens to be fashionable. One of my favorite things in the whole world is belly rubs. In fact, if you invite me onto the couch next to you, there’s a very good chance I’ll skip the sitting part completely and immediately roll over so you can rub my belly instead. It’s kind of my signature move. I’m also what they call a Velcro dog, but in the least annoying way possible. I just genuinely enjoy being wherever my people are. Cooking dinner? I’m there. Watching 👀 TV? I’ll be your cuddle buddy. 📺 Folding laundry 🧺 while secretly scrolling your phone? I promise I won’t tell anyone. 🙈 The only reason I ended up in the shelter is because my previous owner could no longer care for me. It had nothing to do with me. Everyone who’s met me says it’s obvious I was loved, and now they’re all hoping someone gives me that chance again. 🥹 My foster family says I’m like a chameleon 🦎 because I seem ready to fit into whatever lifestyle my future family has. So if you’ve been looking for your perfect order, skip the drive thru. I come with belly rub requests instead of extra calories, cuddles instead of combo meals, and enough love to last a lifetime. 💕

Story
Hi, I’m Damon 🤎 People call me a gentle giant, and I think that fits me pretty well. I’m a smart, kind, goofy guy who’s just happy to be along for whatever the day brings. 🐾 One of my favorite things is being outside. Give me a yard to sniff around in or a ball to chase and I’m a happy pup. I love exploring on walks too, and I don’t pay much attention to other animals. I’m much more interested in seeing what’s around the next corner. 🌳 Once we’re back inside, I’m all about getting cozy. I love piling up with my blankets and relaxing after a day of adventures. 🛋️ Car rides are the best. 🚗 I hop right in, settle by the window, and watch the whole world go by. I’m also a big fan of peanut butter, dog chews, and honestly… if you have a treat, I’m probably interested. 🥜🍖 I’m potty trained, do well in my kennel, and I’m an easy guy to have around. I’m happy doing my own thing, but I also love spending time with my people. ❤️ If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who’s equal parts sweet, silly, and easygoing, I think we’d make a pretty great team. 🐶
