Hello, future family! Savannah here. ❤️ If you're looking for a dog who will look at you like you hung the moon, I think you can stop scrolling.

Story

Hi there, I’m Zazu! It is so nice to meet you! The humans here tell me it’s impossible not to fall in love with my warm personality, but honestly, I just have a really big heart and a lot of love to give. I’m the kind of guy who will always greet you with soft eyes, a thumping tail, and a mission to brighten your day. But let me tell you my favorite secret: I adore toys. In fact, I like to pick out a special "emotional support toy" to carry around with me everywhere. Sometimes it's a fluffy stuffie, but my absolute favorite thing to do is proudly tote a metal bowl around in my squishy mouth! It makes everyone laugh, and honestly, I just love having a little job to do. When I'm not showing off my bowl-carrying skills or zooming around the yard to stretch my legs, I am a professional snugglier. I’m equal parts silly, spirited, and sweet, and I’m looking for a family to call my own. Want to come see my proudest bowl-carry in person?

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My name is Cassius! I spent my entire life with one family until they were no longer able to care for me. Coming to the shelter was pretty confusing and overwhelming after having a home for so long, but I did my very best to stay brave. The best news? I’m currently living in a wonderful foster home, and I am doing super well! Being back in a house has reminded me of who I truly am: a calm, gentle soul who just wants a soft place to land. I'm already a pro at house manners, and my absolute favorite thing to do is find a comfy bed to curl up in and wait for snuggles. While I might be a little reserved when we first meet, just give me a tiny bit of time to bond with you. Once I know I’m safe, my inner puppy totally shines! I get so silly, excited, and playful—it’s like a joyful little secret I only share with my favorite people. I’m so ready for a steady routine and a forever family to open their hearts to me. Could that be you?
