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 Gigi! Gigi is a sweet and playful girl who can’t wait to find her forever home! She enjoys toys, walks, and spending time with her favorite people.Gigi has lived with another dog before and, while she can get a little overwhelmed by high-energy play, she still shows friendly and appropriate behaviors. A dog-to-dog meet is recommended to make sure playstyles match.Because she can be a bit nervous with fast movements or when people reach quickly toward her head, Gigi may do best in a home with older kids or teens who understand her body language and can keep up with her fun, energetic side.She’s ready to bring lots of joy, play, and love into the right home—could that be with you? Gigi spent time in foster care for our annual Home for the Holidays event!! Her foster family described her as sweet, friendly, loving, well-behaved, and easy to train! They also said she was social, dog-friendly, and she loves walks and walks well on a leash! Tug of war, chew toys, stuffy-babies, naps, and snuggles were her fave!! They did say she might want to chase the kitties, and does have a lot of energy to burn, but all in all, was a great guest over the holidays! She didn`t even have any accidents and learned sit, come, down, no, and stop, all in just under 2 weeks!! They said, Gigi just `wants to follow her pack and is a working dog that loves commands and instruction. Very smart girl` A full report from this family will go home with you at time of adoption!Stop by and meet Gigi today!
