Story
I`m really shy at first and quite nervous in new situations...if you happen to know Dobes then you know what I`m talking about (we`re just big babies). I tend to take some time to warm up and will need a very patient adopter who is willing to let me come out of my shell at my own pace.Once I know you, I`m a pretty fun guy. I LOVE affection and will lean into you for more and more pets. I love to go for walkies and smell ALL the amazing smells! I enjoy playing but also love a good cuddle on the couch too.Once upon a time, I used to be a farm dog. So I`ve lived with cats and dogs and a big family, but I didn`t always meet many people or experience city life. I am actually doing quite well here, and have made so many new human friends! But moving forward, I do need some further help and a hooman that will make sure they set me up for success. I do well with other doggos, but I can come on strong. I used to live with a doggo that wasn`t always nice to me, and sometimes we had a hard time sharing our things with each other, so a respectful but friendly dog friend would be best. I have lived with cats and like to play with them! I`m good with kiddos too, though, sometimes they can startle me. So older respectful, quieter teens might be better. Unfortunately for me, I have ear and skin issues. This means that I will likely have to be on meds for those things for the rest of my life. Luckily, the great people here have started to treat my ear and skin issues and I am starting to feel a whole lot better! So if you think you have the patience and can afford regular vet care with daily medications, then please apply to adopt me today. I swear I`m the sweetest boy and will make every day worth it!

Hi, I`m Panzer! So, you want to know how I ended up here, huh? Well, it`s quite the tail (haha! See what I did there?). You see, I was chasing my tail, as one does, when suddenly, I found myself in a pickle - I`d chased it right into the shelter! Now, I`m no Houdini, but I`m a quick learner. I`m good with teenagers and other dogs, but cats? That`s uncharted territory! I`m a happy-go-lucky guy, always up for a game of fetch or tug. My goofy antics will keep you laughing all day. If you need a partner in crime who`s as sweet as pie and twice as fun, I`m your guy!I am an underdog because I will need a lot of training and you will need to work with a trainer due to my overexcited mouthing and jumping! Do you think you can handle a big guy like me?See Panzer on Tiktok! https://tinyurl.com/3mhy337p

Hi there, my name is Bellamy! I am a young, goofy, energetic doggo looking for an adventurous and fun home to blossom in! I started off really shy here, and it`s possible I might still be a little shy in new situations. But I`ve already come out of my shell a lot and once I;m more comfortable (which doesn`t take long), you`ll see a super playful, bouncy, goofball of a dog that wants to be kept busy and get lots and lots of exercise! I am looking for a home with people that have lots of time to dedicate to my high energy needs. I will need lots of exercise, play time, training sessions, and fun enrichment toys to thrive! The humans here said I SHOULD go home with another playful and respectful dog friend, as this is a super duper helpful outlet for my puppy energy, and it helps me with my confidence as well. I can be very overly playful with cat friends so if you have any of those furry friends in your home, they should be dog savvy and you should expect to work on my excitement around them. The same goes for kiddos! Kids can scare me a little bit but if they are a bit older and very respectful and calm, I have learned they aren`t as scary as I thought.I am learning scent work while I am here in shelter and I am THRIVING with it. I am young, loving, and very smart. I have great potential and know I can grow to be a well behaved lad. Can you help start me off on the right paw?? You may have noticed i`m a `underdog` adoption this is because I require a patient and understanding adopter to help set me up for success. Luckily this means my adoption fee is up to you!See Bellamy on Tiktok: https://tinyurl.com/mupst9ep

Story
Hello, I`m Ivy!! I am a young, high energy doggo looking for a super fun home to keep my brain nice and stimulated! I can do a lot of the `woof-woofin` with new humans. I`ve got a lot to say and haven`t had a ton of exposure, so I need someone patient that will help socialize me and lead the way. I`ve met A LOT of people here though! And I`ve learned to trust more and more. The humans say I`ve come a long way and hope I can continue to get more socialization and be a successful girl in my next home. My next home. Wow, that makes me feel all types of ways to even think about, whenever that happens for me that is. I`ve been looking for my forever home for 3 months now. 3 whole months of sitting and waiting. Watching many of my friends leave while I still sit here and wait around. It`s hurt my doggy heart a bit, making me feel like something is wrong with me which makes people not want a dog like me. Maybe it`s my look? Or the fact that I`m a `special paws` dog because of my medical injuries when I first arrived? But I`ve been doing very well and the doc has been taking great care of me, it`s just something an adopter needs to be mindful of moving forward! I am more than ready to show you how much I`m worth if you`ll give me a chance? I am super sweet, fun, and charming. I am a lover girl and would love to snuggle up with you on the couch (after we`ve burned my energy of course!) and we can even watch some cozy Netflix movies together.If you have a patient, respectful, and fun home for me to thrive in, then I cannot wait to meet you!

Hi there. My name is Dior. I may be a young guy but don`t make any mistakes. I`m a BIG boy. My pics may make me look a little derpy but I`m handsome, large and in charge! I am also a big chicken.I didn`t have the best start in life so I am a little nervous at times. I take a little while to warm up to new people but once I do...I`m a lap doggy through and through. Because I am so nervous, It is important that I go home with another confident and friendly dog that can help me learn to trust. And of course, get all my sillies out in play. I`ve been in a foster home for the past couple of weeks and I am staying with dogs and even cats! I`ve met a pretty dog savvy cat and I am very respectful of it, although I am still young and learning so I might chase playfully if a cat runs! I`ve also met a kiddo! He was a bit older (over 10) but I warmed up quickly and really enjoyed him because he was quiet and respectful.Although I can be a bit stand offish at first...Once I know you watch out! My foster says that I will run laps around your heart. I have lots of energy and will need someone who can keep up with me and my young puppy antics! What do you say? Are you ready for a giant lap dog in your life? Then apply to adopt me today!

Hi there. My name is Milo.I am very sweet natured but extremely nervous here at the shelter. My past parents said that I shake a lot when I get nervous or when I get excited and I can take a little while to warm up to new people. Once I know you though, I`m a pretty great guy. I`m laid back but still like to have sooo much fun. I can be really strong on leash but I think I could learn to walk nicely with some patience and consistent exercise. One other thing...I come with my brother Oogie. Or he comes with me....I am clearly the more handsome of our dynamic duo lol But I really rely on him to help me to be confident and be my best self. So if you are ready for 2 big snuggle bugs to join your lovely family then apply to adopt us today!
