Story
Meet Stanley: A Loyal Companion Looking for the Right HomeStanley is a neutered Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix with a gentle, thoughtful nature and a calmer outlook on life. Older, wiser, and more laid-back than his friend Wally, Stanley is looking for a home that can provide him with the space, structure, and understanding he needs to feel comfortable and secure.Stanley would do best on a rural property where he has plenty of room to explore and enjoy the outdoors. He is not well suited to apartment living or busy residential neighborhoods, as frequent encounters with strangers and unfamiliar dogs can be stressful for him.While Stanley is not particularly fond of other dogs, he has formed a special bond with Wally and is happiest in his company. Wally is the one dog Stanley truly enjoys spending time with, and together they help each other navigate new situations with greater confidence.Stanley can be unsure in unfamiliar environments and may take some time to adjust to change. He appreciates a patient owner who will allow him to settle in at his own pace and provide him with a predictable routine.Due to his high prey drive, Stanley would do best in a home without small animals. We also recommend a home with children aged 10 and up who can understand and respect his space.Stanley is a loyal, intelligent boy looking for a family that will appreciate his calm nature and give him the stable environment he needs to thrive. With patience and understanding, he will make a devoted companion for years to come.

Story
Meet Wally: A Loyal Boy Looking for Room to RoamWally is a 3-year-old neutered Lab mix with a big personality and plenty of energy to spare. This handsome young guy is looking for an active home that can provide him with the space, structure, and understanding he needs to thrive.Wally would do best on a rural property where he has plenty of room to run and explore. He is not well suited to apartment living or busy residential neighborhoods, as he can become overwhelmed by frequent encounters with strangers and other dogs.While Wally doesn`t get along particularly well with most dogs, he has formed a special bond with his friend Stanley and feels much more confident when Stanley is by his side. New environments and unfamiliar situations can make Wally uncertain, and having a trusted companion helps him navigate the world more comfortably.Wally also has a high prey drive, so a home without small animals would be best. Due to his size, energy level, and need for ongoing guidance, we recommend a home with children aged 10 and up who would be able to read his body language.With patience, consistency, and the right environment, Wally has the potential to be a wonderful and devoted companion. He`s looking for a family that will appreciate his loyal nature and help him continue building confidence at his own pace.

Story
Meet Hunter: Little Guy, Big Attitude!Hunter is an approximately 7-year-old neutered Shih-Tzu mix. Hunter is a nervous little guy at first, but once he warms up to you, his true personality shines! Hunter would thrive in a quiet home with dog-savvy adopters who can read his body language and has experience with small dogs and their quirks.Hunter will need to go to an adult-only home. Hunter loves to go on long walks, so an adopter willing to take him on many adventures would be a good match for this guy! Hunter has so far shown no interest in other dogs at the shelter, so may do well sharing his home with another canine companion. A meet and greet with any resident dog will be required prior to adoption. Hunter has also shown disinterest in cats, so may be fine sharing his home with some feline companions.Hunter does unfortunately have a bite history, which is something adopters must be made aware of prior to any meet and greet.

Story
Meet Pluto: A Big Goofball with a Heart of GoldPluto is a 2-year-old Great Dane mix who brings a whole lot of personality in one big, lovable package. This handsome guy is sweet and friendly, but he prefers to take his time getting to know new people before jumping right in—once you’ve earned his trust, you’ve got a loyal buddy for life.Pluto is food aggressive. He’s got lots of energy and would thrive in an active home that can keep him engaged both physically and mentally. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or learning new tricks for snacks, Pluto is always ready to have some fun.Pluto is not dog-friendly and would do best as the only pet in the home. He has not yet been tested with cats. No kids.Although this handsome ray of sunshine has tested positive for Lyme disease, with antibiotics and a little TLC from our caring staff, Pluto is thriving and doing well. He will only need antibiotics for Lyme when he has a flare up, and it`s recommended to continue monthly flea & tick treatment for further prevention. He’s a smart, playful guy who just needs the right person to help guide him and give him the space to build trust at his own pace. With structure, patience, and plenty of treats, Pluto is going to make a fun and devoted companion.
