Story
Welcome back Jax (Newton) ❤️ Born 5/19/23, approximately 20lbs, neutered male Introducing Jax! Jax is looking for a new family, he was adopted as a puppy but was returned to rescue. Jax is a Mountain Cur/ Australian Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier mix, which means he is driven and craves attention. He has an eagerness to please that we don’t see in many dogs, making him a fantastic dog for someone who enjoys the outdoors, such as hiking, walking, camping or just a leisure walk around the neighborhood. Jax would also excel at agility or a similar activity, he is a quick and agile guy. Jax can be a bit possessive of his person and his toys so he needs a person who while give him clear direction and corrections. He responds very well to verbal commands, he knows what is expected, but he likes to push those boundaries sometimes, he is still young after all. Jax is totally house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, shake, drop it and stay. If Jax sounds like he would be a good fit for your life, he would love to meet you! He current on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. We are accepting applications at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog

Story
ROSE's Story DNA Results Are In! The DNA results are officially in for the “Golden Girls”—and they definitely have an interesting family tree! Mom was a German Shepherd, and Dad was a traveling salesman... ha-ha! Apparently, Dad got around because his DNA is a wild mix of Corgi, Border Collie, Chihuahua, and several other breeds. That boy was all mixed up! But the best news of all? Their DNA results revealed no identified genetic health defects. These pups are happy, healthy, and absolutely perfect just the way they are! Now that we know a little more about their family history, who’s ready to make one of these Golden Girls & Boy part of their family? We are accepting applications at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog Welcome the Golden Girls Pups! Estimated DOB: 5/22/26 Mixed breed 4 females, 1 male Currently 7-9 lbs These adorable puppies were found abandoned in a box along the side of the road. While we don't know much about their past, we do know they are incredibly sweet, playful, and full of love. They've come a long way in just a few weeks. When they arrived, they were severely underweight and heavily burdened with parasites. Thanks to the care they received, they've made an amazing recovery and are now happy, healthy puppies ready to find the loving forever homes they deserve.

🐾 WELCOME BACK, LUCY LU! 🐾 (Formerly known as Ethel from the Daredevils litter) 🐶 Mixed Breed | Female | 21 lbs | DOB: 12/23/25 Sadly, Lucy Lu has found herself back in rescue through no fault of her own. Her adopter was relocating, and heartbreakingly, Lucy Lu wasn’t included in the move. 💔 This sweet girl was absolutely devastated, and now we’re determined to find her the forever home she deserves. Here’s what we know about Lucy Lu so far! ❤️ 🐾 She does well with both dogs and cats. 🐾 She bonds quickly with her people and is a true Velcro dog who loves to stay close. 🐾 She is incredibly sweet, loving, and gentle. 🐾 She may be a little shy at first, but give her a little time and love, and she’ll be your devoted companion. 🐾 She is crate trained, leash trained, and appears to be housebroken. Lucy Lu has already experienced the heartbreak of losing her home once. She deserves a family who will love her unconditionally and make her a permanent part of their lives. We owe it to this girl to get it right this time. She isn’t asking for much—just a safe place to call home and people who will never give up on her. 🏡💗 Lucy Lu is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. ✨ Let’s find Lucy Lu the happily-ever-after she deserves! Please share her story and help us find her forever family. 🐾❤️ We are accepting applications at https://secondhandpaws.org/

Story
🐾 Meet the Patriots! 🇺🇸 Great Pyrenees mixes | DOB: 6/7/26 | Current weight: 7–9 lbs These adorable pups were born on a farm in Kentucky as an unwanted litter. Their mom is a Great Pyrenees mix, and their dad was, well… a traveling salesman! 😉 The owners have decided to keep Mom, and we are helping make sure she is spayed so there won’t be any more unwanted litters. We expect these pups to be approximately 40–50 lbs. at maturity. They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. And now for the important part… these puppies are PRECIOUS! ❤️ They absolutely love their snuggle time and are surprisingly quiet for puppies. They have that perfect combination of sweet, playful puppy energy and a love for curling up with their people. 🥰 If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly puppy to add to your family, one of these little Patriots might just be your perfect match! 🇺🇸🐶 We are accepting applications at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog
