Story
Hi, I`m Erros!I am the kind of dog who can make a room full of strangers laugh just by trotting in with my signature bounce. Fun is my love language and I deliver generously. I have been told that I am a rare combo of brains and chaos that keeps life interesting. I believe the out doors is my kingdom. Whether it be zooming around or sniffing blades of grass, I am happiest with the sky above me and dirt under my paws. I will need strict structured play and training to become a better doggy citizen. I am still a young pup learning the world, I have lots of potential and I look forward to show you! In short: I am a joy in motion, a furry comedian, a clever little adventurer, and the heartbeat of every gathering.My ideal home involves: Children: No Dogs: I can play rough, so a dog that can keep up with my energy level would be best.Cats: NoFirst time dog owners: An experienced dog owner would be neededHousing environment: House/ apartment building would work too Fenced in yard: YesSomeone home most of the day: I could do well on my own for an 8 hour working day. Activity level: Medium to highHouse trained: YesBirth date: June.13.25

Hi, I’m Shelby!I’m a Coonhound mix, with a loving heart and fun personality. I sometimes have a lot to say when I am trying to communicate- Toss me a ball, take me for a walk or rub my belly and I’m your happiest pup.I’m super friendly, love meeting new people, and I’m told I’m pretty easy to train — especially if snacks are involved. I’m very food-motivated, which makes me a quick learner and a great student. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, fetch-loving best friend who will happily chat about his day, I’m your guy.I am very smart. I know how to sit and shake a paw. I love going for car rides, and am well behaved in the car. I am good with kids and would make a great family dog.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes, I love everyone!OTHER DOGS: I get very excited when I first see other dogs, so I need to meet them when I am calm.CATS: I would likely be ok with a slow introduction.WALKING ON LEASH: I need to work on this with you. I walk well once I am settled.FIRST TIME DOG OWNERS: Someone experienced with hounds is preferred, but not required.HOUSING: would do best in a house with a fenced-in yardSOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Yes, please.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME....ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-HighHOUSE-TRAINED: Yes!BIRTH DATE: Estimated December 14, 2020

Meet Lola! Hello, my name is Lola! I’m a ball of energy and a cuddle queen all rolled into one!I live for excitement and adventure, but when I first meet new people, I can be a little timid while I come out of my shell. With a little confidence-building, training, and socialization, I blossom into the sweetest shadow you could ask for. I’m learning fetch and picking up my basic commands fairly quickly—and I’d absolutely love the chance to show off what I’ve learned to you!I may need a little patience at first, but once I trust you, I’ll be right by your side, ready for cuddles, adventures, and lots of fun!My ideal home involves...Children: I can get jumpy and excited around small children- older kids would be best.Other dogs: I would be good with dogs with my energy level ( high) Cats: NoFirst time dog owner: An experienced dog owner would benefit me. Fenced- in- yard: Yes/ apartment Housing environment: fenced in yard is recommendSomeone home most of the day: She would be okay on her own with the proper outlets before hand- she is crate trained. Activity level: High Housing - trained: YesBirth date: Aug 2/25

Hi! My name is Lui.I’m a gentle soul looking for a quiet, loving home where I can feel like myself again. I’m a little shy at first at the shelter. I am still learning to be confident, but with patience and kindness, I start to come out of my shell. Once I trust you, you’ll see my soft tail wags, my sweet heart, and the brave little steps I take every day. I just need someone willing to go slow, believe in me, and watch me bloom.My ideal home involves: Children: No thank you Other dogs: I do well with other dogscats: unknown- has never lived with cats First time dog owner: Experienced owner Fenced in Yard: Yes - 6feet fence House: house with a yard fenced in/ apartment Someone home most of the day: left alone for an 8hr work day is fine.
