Story
Duke is a 6 year old loving and sweet boy. He will lay on top of you and watch tv or run around changing a ball. I rescued Duke from a shelter and when they found him he had an imbedded collar so he still has a scar on his neck. Because of this he ain’t great on leash and would do best with a family with a fenced yard. He defiantly has the boxer energy and is very excited when meeting new people and when someone gets home.

Bronc **Currently Available for Adoption!** Good with Kids, Cats & Dogs! Meet Bronc! 4 yr/50 lb/Male/Lab/Terrier Mix Name: Bronc Age: 4 years Weight: 50 lbs Breed: Lab / Terrier Mix Status: Single, soulful, and worth the wait! ❤️ ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Bronc — a handsome, gentle-hearted guy with thoughtful eyes and a calm presence. I may come across a little shy at first, but once I know I’m safe, I blossom into the sweetest, most loyal companion you could imagine. I’m a true “velcro dog” at heart. I love quiet moments, head scratches, and being close to my people. I’m not flashy or chaotic — I’m steady, affectionate, and deeply loving. The kind of dog who makes a house feel like home. ​ Best Qualities: • Sweet, soulful, and deeply affectionate • Loyal once bonded — a true best friend • Gentle and respectful with kids, dogs, and cats • Calm, loving presence • Excellent snuggle and side-by-side companion ​ My Ideal Match: • A calm, low-traffic home where I can relax and feel secure • Humans who understand that trust takes time — and is always worth it • Someone who values quiet connection over constant chaos • A family ready for a loyal companion who gives love fully ​ Deal Breakers: • Not ideal for a loud, fast-paced environment • Needs patience and understanding while settling into new situations • Wouldn’t thrive with someone expecting instant confidence ​ Fun Fact: Once I trust you, I’ll stick by your side like I was always meant to be there. ​ This Valentine’s season, Bronc isn’t rushing love — he’s waiting for the right heart. And when he finds it, the bond will be deep, steady, and forever. ❤️🐶 **This dog is currently in foster care. If you're interested in meeting Bronc, please email info.pawfectlife@gmail.com **

Meet Ember! 5 yrs./35 lb./Female/Aussie/Retriever Mix Name: Ember Age: 5 year Weight: 35 lbs Breed: Aussie Mix Status: Single, soulful, and hoping this is her year for love ✨❤️ About Me: Hi, I’m Ember — gentle-hearted, quietly charming, and the kind of girl who looks at you like you’re the only person in the room. I may not be the loudest pup at the party, but once I choose you, I’m all in. I love my people deeply and bond fast with those who take the time to know me. I enjoy walks, calm playtime, and being close — whether that’s sitting at your feet or leaning in for reassurance. I’m smart, thoughtful, and have that classic Aussie sensitivity that makes me incredibly in tune with my humans. If you believe love should feel safe, steady, and warm… we might be a Pawfect match. Best Qualities: • Sweet, affectionate, and emotionally intuitive • Loyal once bonded — a true heart dog • Smart and eager to please • Calm, gentle presence with a playful side • Expert at soulful eye contact My Ideal Match: • A patient, loving home that believes in building trust • Someone who wants a close companion, not just a pet • A family or individual who enjoys walks, quiet moments, and meaningful connection • Humans ready to give love — and receive it tenfold Deal Breakers: • Not ideal for a chaotic or constantly changing environment • Needs reassurance, kindness, and consistency • Wouldn’t thrive with someone looking for an independent, hands-off dog Fun Fact: Still young at heart — I believe growing up doesn’t mean slowing down. ❤️🐾 ​ This Valentine’s season, Ember isn’t asking for much — just a forever person who sees her gentle heart and chooses her back. And once she does? You’ll never feel alone again. ❤️🐶
