Story
Meet Chuck!! Chuck is a sweet, sensitive boy who takes his time getting comfortable in new situations. In his previous home, he lived with another dog but struggled with sharing food and resources, and he has shown that he prefers having his space to himself.In the shelter, Chuck has been cautious around unfamiliar people and can feel unsure when meeting someone new. He does best when allowed to move at his own pace, observing first and choosing when he’s ready to engage. Calm energy, patience, and gentle encouragement—especially in the form of tossed treats—help him feel more at ease.Once Chuck feels safe, his playful side begins to shine. His previous family shared that he is house trained when kept on a consistent routine and that he loves playing with balls and Frisbees. With time and trust, Chuck is a loyal companion who will reward patience with quiet affection and moments of joyful play

Meet Natalie!Natalie is a gentle, affectionate sweetheart who wins people over the moment she leans in for cuddles. During her assessment, she happily approached staff, soaked up every bit of attention, and even tucked her nose under their arm like she was asking for “just one more pet, please!” She’s soft, loving, and so eager to connect with her humans. She enjoys playing catch, but would much rather snuggle and get pets!! She is also crate trained, housebroken, and knows how to sit on command!She got to spend time with a family for our annual Home for the Holidays event and they had great things to say! She “quietly stole their hearts” from the moment she came into their home. They described her as affectionate, gentle, calm, and “endlessly lovable and wonderfully well-mannered.” She is quiet, not jumpy, and walks beautifully on the leash! If her foster family were cat-free (she did want to chase them!), she would have stolen their home—not just their hearts! For this reason, they generously sponsored her adoption fee!!Natalie would thrive in a home where she can be the only animal and the center of attention. She prefers a calm environment without other dogs or cats, where she can soak up all the love and affection she so happily gives in return.If you’re looking for a sweet, tender-hearted companion who loves affection and just wants to feel safe and loved, Natalie might be the perfect girl for you. She can’t wait to meet her person—stop by and meet her today!
