Story
Hotdog! Did I hear a hotdog bag? Can I have a hotdog!? Hi, I'm Kiri and I'd love that hotdog in your hand! If you share, I think we could be really good friends! I'm a sweet girl looking for my forever home. I'm hoping my new family can understand I love cuddles, but I also need my space sometimes. I promise I'm worth all the hotdogs. My foster mama let me cuddle in bed with her and even on the couch! I'm a little shy and nervous at first but once I get used to my new home, I'll be a snug little bug on the couch! If you think I'd be a good fit, and have some extra hot dogs, come meet me today! Primary Color: Cream Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 47.4 Age: 4yrs 7mths 1wks

Story
This handsome toothy man is Snoopy! Snoopy is a sweet, funny, energetic and cute little guy who would love a home that is able to work with him. He is very loving and has a tendency to bond really hard with his person, so socializing him with everyone in the home and new people he meets is important for proper interactions. He loves walks to get his zoomies out. Once he's exercised, he'll just want to snuggle on the couch with you or sleep under a blanket. He has a lot of love and affection to give, so if you're looking for a partner in crime, reach out to the ARL today and adopt Snoopy!

Story
Hey there, amazing humans! I'm Otto, a lively 2-year-old Pitbull with a heart full of zest and a spirit as untamed as the wind. They call me a "wild child," and I wear that title proudly! Life is a grand adventure, and I'm ready to dive in headfirst. But, between you and me, I could use a little guidance and some patient training to channel all this enthusiasm into something extraordinary. If you're ready to take on the challenge and joy of training a wild child like me, contact the ARL for more information or stop by the shelter to meet me!

Hello! My name is Mia and I've been described as a sweet but nervous girl. I tend to need a bit of time when it comes to first meeting you. Once I finally warm up I'm a sweet love bug who will be right by your side! However, I am a hit or miss when it comes to getting pets so it may take some trial and error to see how I'm feeling that day. I'm just a gentle shy girl who wants someone perfect for me! If I'm a perfect addition to your home, stop by the ARL today. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 68.4 Age: 4yrs 3mths 0wks
