Story
Hi, I’m Betty!I’m a 7-year-old brown and white Basset Hound mix with a sweet face and an even sweeter soul. I was transferred from another shelter to give me a better chance at finding my forever home and I’m really hoping that home might be yours.I’m a gentle senior gal who loves cozy naps, soft blankets, and spending time with my people. I have that classic hound charm: soulful eyes, a calm and loving nature, and a peaceful presence that makes you want to sit down and relax with me for a while. I may be past the puppy stage, but don’t worry, I still have plenty of love to give and would make a wonderful, loyal companion.I also come with some great bonuses! I’m housebroken, I walk beautifully on a leash, and I know how to enjoy the simple things in life. I tend to bond more quickly with women and can be a little shy around men at first, but with gentle, proper introductions, I warm up pretty fast.If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a deserving senior who just wants love and comfort, I’d really love to meet you!

Story
Margaret is a sweet new face at the shelter who came to us as a stray and is still figuring out that she’s safe. We estimate she’s around 3 years old, and one look into her beautiful, soulful eyes will tell you there’s something really special about her. Right now, Margaret is on the shy side, but she’s slowly starting to warm up and show glimpses of the loving dog she wants to be. With a gentle approach, patience, and kindness, she blossoms a little more each day. She’s the kind of girl who will form a deep bond with her person once she feels secure. Margaret is looking for a calm, understanding home that will let her move at her own pace and celebrate the small victories along the way. If you believe the best relationships are built on trust and time, Margaret just might be your perfect match!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Story
Hi… I’m Peppa! When I first came to the shelter as a stray, I was very scared. The world felt big and confusing, and I wasn’t sure who I could trust. No one knows what my life was like before I arrived, but sometimes new things, and people still make me nervous.The kind people here have been so patient with me. They’ve given me time, gentle voices, and lots of encouragement. Because of them, I’ve started to bloom. I’m still learning that I’m safe but every day gets a little easier.It can take me a little while to warm up to new people. I just need a little patience and understanding. Once I trust you though, I really trust you. I love to be close. I’ll curl up in your lap, ask for hugs and kisses, and follow you from room to room just to be near you. Sweet talk makes me feel very special. Peanut butter and treats help too — those are some of my favorite things!I’m learning so many new things right now. Walks can still feel a little scary sometimes, but I’m trying. I’m also working hard on being brave for medical care. It’s a lot, but I’m doing my best.I would really love a family who will continue helping me grow. If we worked on basic obedience training together, I think it would help me build confidence and bond with you even more. I want to feel proud and secure and I want to know I belong. I need to be the only animal in my home, as other dogs can make me feel unsure. I would also do best in a home with mature teens or adults who can help me feel calm and safe.The staff here say I’m a wonderful little lady. They say I’m sweet and snuggly and that I’ve come such a long way. I may be shy at first, sometimes I even hesitate like I’m not sure I’m “allowed” to get on the couch, but once I know it’s okay, I just want to be close to you.What I’m really looking for is someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will move at my pace and show me that the world isn’t so scary after all.If you have a quiet home and a gentle heart, I think we could be something really special together!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Clive has a soft, easygoing personality and loves spending time with his people. He’s the kind of dog who’s happy to join you for a walk around the neighborhood and then settle down nearby while you relax.

If you’re searching for a well-mannered, affectionate companion who will walk happily by your side, Clive might just be the perfect match. Come meet this sweet boy and see if he’s the one you’ve been looking for!Few can resist a puppy. These adorable, soft bundles of energy are similar to four-legged children with tails. And like children, puppies need a lot of time, care, love, and patience. A puppy will depend on you for frequent and regular feedings and walks, for guidance and training, and for much of your time and your love. Before you plunge into puppy parenthood, make sure to research! There are many rewards to caring for a puppy, but there are also many requirements. Puppy classes are highly recommended for socialization and a positive transition into your home. Puppies love to learn how to be the best dog for your family!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Story
Hi there… I’m Mr. Chaos! (But don’t worry—the name is totally misleading.) ??I know what you’re thinking: “Chaos?” That sounds like a lot. But here’s the truth- I’m actually a laid-back, snuggly senior gentleman with a big heart and even bigger love for couch time.I’m 9 years old, which means I’ve mastered the important things in life: relaxing, appreciating snacks, and soaking up every cuddle I can get. My family recently went through a split, and I found myself here at the shelter, patiently waiting for my next chapter. It’s been a little confusing at first, but every day I’m getting more comfortable and showing the staff just how sweet I really am.They’ve learned that I’m a pretty simple guy. Give me a cozy spot, some kind words, and maybe a few snacks, and I’m one happy pup. My favorites? Peanut butter (obviously), carrots, and green beans. If you happen to bring snacks, I promise to love you forever. I also come with some great house manners! I’m crate trained and housebroken, so I already know the ropes when it comes to living in a home.I’d prefer to be the only dog in the house so I can soak up all your attention. I did live with other dogs before, but here at the shelter I’ve decided I’d rather skip the dog park drama. The good news? I’ve lived with cats and kids ages 6+, and my previous family said I did great with them.Mostly, I’m just looking for a peaceful home where I can trade my “Chaos” reputation for what I really love: quiet companionship, warm snuggles, and being your loyal best friend.If you’ve got a comfy couch and room in your heart for a sweet senior like me, I’d love to meet you. I’ll be the handsome guy waiting with a wagging tail and a snuggle ready to go.Love,Mr. Chaos If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.
