Story
Meet Shrek!This 88 lb gentle giant is a 3-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix who’s as sweet as he is handsome. Shrek loves long walks through his “kingdom,” playing in the yard, and giving the kind of big bear hugs and slobbery kisses that could melt even Lord Farquaad’s heart. He may look like a tough guy, but underneath it all he’s pure goofy, affectionate charm - think big dog energy with a heart made of waffles (and maybe a little donkey energy too). If you’re ready for your own happily ever after, come meet Shrek - because every hero deserves a best friend, and this one’s ready to be yours!December 14, 2025, 1:27 pm

Meet Yoder! This handsome 3-year-old boxer mix weighs about 46 lbs and is the perfect mix of brains, playfulness, and heart. Yoder is a very smart boy who already knows how to sit and would thrive with continued training (especially if treats are involved- his favorite subject). He loves to play, gets along great with other dogs, and is always up for walks, romping around the yard, and new adventures. A beach day? Yes please. A pup cup stop? Even better! As a super sweet young adult, Yoder has just the right balance of fun and maturity. If you’re looking for a loyal companion ready to join you on all of life’s outings, Yoder might be your perfect match!

Whether she’s zooming around the yard, trotting proudly on a walk, or curling up beside you for snuggles, Red does it all with so much joy! She adores people, gives the best tail wags, and carries herself with a goofy charm that’s impossible not to love.November 16, 2025, 2:18 pm
