Story
My name is Boone and I have been at the shelter since 2024. I am considered a senior, but don't let that fool you- I can still get going when I want to! I love to play chase or fetch in the run, and my favorite thing of all is a walk. I do very well on the leash and have excellent manners. My favorite toys are squeaky balls and stuffed squeaky toys- although the stuffed squeaky toys never seem to last long around me. I have been to lots of events and places in my time here and am always a superstar. I love meeting people and do well in the car too. I'm ready to hop in one and ride away from here! I am very affectionate, too, I like belly rubs and like to lean against you. I am a "people person" and have never met a stranger! I'll get right in your lap and enjoy cuddles. When it comes to other dogs, though, I like things my way and I'm old enough that I've earned the right not to share! I would like to have a place - and a person- that's all my own.

Story
Hello, my name is Red! I was brought to the shelter in December of 2025. I am a super sweet, easy-going girl who likes other dogs and loves to play! I do good with big dogs and small dogs. I like people too, and I would love to meet you! I can be kind of timid at first, but I warm up quickly. I like to put my head in your hands, and I might even doze off like that! I also like chin scratches and peanut butter! I am young and still learning my manners, but I am very smart and get better every day.
