Story
Hello, my name is Jack. I am a sweet, happy, and bouncy boy looking for a fun household! I have energy for daysssss, and am the life of the party! I will keep you on your toes and hope you're as energetic as I am, because I really love to get out and explore and have lots of fun. I'm a young guy that will need some basic training. I tend to still act like a puppy at times and like to jump up for attention and possibly put my slobbery mouth on ya trying to get you to play, but I LOVE food and am a pretty smart cookie. I already know how to sit, lie down, and the humans are working on some self control exercises with me like 'wait', and 'leave it', which I seem to pick up quite well on! I am hoping and asking you will continue on with more training for me so I can be a super successful guy! I have been known to not like sharing my resources with other humans. I'm not looking for issues here, I just like my space at times and am looking for a home that understands and will respect this. Maybe it's because I came all the way from Georgia and the humans don't know what happened to me over there, but I am hoping for a kid-free home and a human that will help me learn that there is no need to be scared of these things. I do well with other dogs and love to play with them, but again, friends that respect my space and personal belongings will be best! I used to have this thing called Ehrlichia when I first came from Georgia way back when, the humans took care of it and there's really nothing serious to worry about, but still something you should know. If you're looking for a super fun, funny, character of a dog, I promise to not let you down. I am so insanely loving, charming, and one heck of a good time. I know I will make someone super happy!See Jack on Tiktok! https://tinyurl.com/tejfcnk5

Story
Hi there, I'm Max. My age has given me wisdom and a love for the simple things in life. I'm a sweet, friendly soul, always curious about the world around me. I can be a bit goofy at times, but that's part of my charm. I'm smart too, always eager to learn new things. Cuddles? Oh, I'm a big fan! I'm just a sweet and happy medium energy guy!I've never met a cat before, so the people here aren't sure how I would do with them, and I prefer to be the only dog in the house. I've never been around kids either, but I'm such a friendly guy, so I would probably be ok with dog savvy children. Walking me might be a workout, I do love to pull on the leash. Apartments aren't really my style, I could run into another dog in those narrow hallways and I'd really rather not do that. I need space to roam and sniff. I am a Special Paws pet in the Signature Pets Program because I have allergies that will likely require some extra care to keep under control and managed. Since I am a Special Paws pet, my adoption fee is up to you!Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and endless curiosity.

*ruff ruff ruff!!!!* HELLLLLO! *ruff ruff ruff! MY NAME IS LUTHERAN! But you can call me Luther, Luthey, whatever you think is cute for a handsome lad like myself. I don't mean to yell at you!!! But I am just a loud, energetic guy!! I tend to bark a lot when meeting new people or other doggos. I just have a lot to say, and have to voice my opinion and scope things out first. I think because of this, an apartment-type environment for me wouldn't be super ideal, I'm sure your neighbours won't think my singing voice is as pretty as I do! I'm an Underdog because I'm a very high energy boy, and like to voice my opinion. I'm looking for an understanding home, which my adoption fee is up to you!I am hoping for a home that can work on some proper training for me. I'm a bit of a wild child, but I'm a super fun guy! I also LOVE to be loved by my favourite people, and would love an active lifestyle where I will get lots of exercise and fun activities! It's best that I be the only dog in the home, I like all of the attention to be on me.I cannot wait for my new home!See Lutheran on Tiktok! https://tinyurl.com/swntbvkf

Story
Hello, I'm Rocky. I've seen a lot in my years, but I'm still a pup at heart. At one point I was abandoned by my favourite person, so now, I'm a little out of sorts because of it. I'm not one for cuddles unless I really know you, but I promise to be your loyal companion. I'm a bit shy, so it might take me some time to warm up to you. But once I do, you'll have a friend for life. I'm not asking for much, just a quiet home where I can live out my golden years. I might be older, but I still have a lot of love to give. I may be shy and independent, but I believe that with patience and understanding, I can be the best friend you've ever had. My new owner should be willing to be patient with me, it could take me a while to get comfortable with you. I might have this thing called 'separation anxiety', meaning, once I get bonded to my person, I tend to miss them a lot when they're gone. So, I'm hoping for a home with someone who will be there for me a lot, spend time with me, and be my devoted pal for the remainder of my senior years. I lived in a home with another small dog and a cat and I did well with them, so if you have another small respectful dog, we could do well together. I would rather not live with children, I don't really like people reaching to pet me and tiny hands tend to do that. I hate to have to mention this, but the humans say honesty is the best policy. I have chronic ear infections, and need an adopter that will work with a good vet to continue to help me feel better with this. I do promise that my calm and sweet personality will make up for it! Adopt me, and let's make the rest of my years the best they can be.

Hi there! I'm Kiki.When I first came to this crazy place called the shelter, I was really nervous and anxious. New situations were kinda scary to me and I was a bit shy. You see, I used to live outside, so I'm not used to all of the inside sights and attention. But now that I have been here for....too long...the wonderful people have helped me to really come out of my shell.Why I may still be shy at first, I warm up pretty quickly and I really love bum scritches and treatos! I love to go for walkies on this thing called a leash and I really like water...I must be part lab or something....check out my puddle picture!I had not met many dogs before but since coming here I've made a ton of friends. I get to join play groups and play with lots of different dogs and its the best part of my day! I even cry when I have to walk past my friends without getting a play session in. Due to previously living outside and new situations being a bit hard an apartment would likely not work well for me, I'm just too nervous of the sounds and doorways. I haven't been around cats or children before but I think if you have kiddos....I could love them a lot as long as they are respectful and dog savvy.I might need a bit of patience, but I assure you, it's worth it. I'm not one for big crowds or loud noises, so a calm, quiet home would suit me best. I'm looking for someone who understands me and can give me the love I need. Will you be my forever friend?See Kiki on Tiktok! https://tinyurl.com/5n7xpbcmhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/kR-TcdKXrz0

Story
Hello, my name is Hamilton! But feel free to call me Hami, because I think that's just super darn cute! I am a very sweet Lab mix with a pure and gentle soul. I was found as a stray, so who knows what kind of life I was living before. One thing is for certain, I seem to have such a sweet and friendly personality, and lots of love to give. I know I look kinda goofy in my pics. The humans tried their best to photograph me, but I was just moving allllll over the place it was hard to get my good side. I'm a pretty well mannered guy here, and while I can pull on leash sometimes when I really want to get moving, with some work it can get better. I am a high energy guy and have been known to jump over pretty high fences, so keeping me busy is super important. Praise seems to be my motivator (or wet dog food- I really like that stuff), so I would love a home where I will get lots of love and snuggles with my family. I am good with other doggos, and think I would make a great family dog if you've been looking for one. There's not much to say about me, I'm a pretty great guy and think I will bring a lot of joy to someones life!Soooo....I bet you are wondering why such an awesome boy is a 'Special Paws'??? Well that is because I have a thing called Heartworm. The medical team here have already started treating me for this and will continue to do so until I am all clear! So what this means, if you want to adopt me now, I will remain with you while the medical staff here continue to treat the heartworm. What I will need from you, is a quiet and non active lifestyle until the heartworm is gone. But I promise, I am well worth it!
