Story
Meet Ranger! 🐾 🍂 Picked up in Fall 2022, Ranger has been our "stay in the background" guy at the shelter. He's a gentle soul who tries to avoid any conflict and prefers the quiet moments in life. Despite his shyness, Ranger is incredibly loving and has warmed up well with our staff. Cecilia even taught him how to sit, showcasing his willingness to learn and his eagerness to please. 🐾 🎂 We estimate Ranger to be around 2 to 3 years old, still in the prime of his life. A trip to the vet showed us his exceptional behavior - he rode like a champ and was on his best behavior, proving he's a well-mannered fellow. Ranger is also a leash pro, making walks a breeze, and he truly comes alive during one-on-one time. Away from the hustle and bustle, he blossoms and shows his true colors. 🌸 While he hasn't been neutered yet, Ranger's gentle and calm nature makes us believe he could be a great companion for families with both older and younger children. His meek disposition is a true gem! We can't vouch for his feline friends just yet, but Ranger doesn't display any strong prey instincts, so we have hope that he could coexist peacefully with cats. In biblical terms, we see Ranger as a meek spirit who's ready to find his forever home and possibly inherit a piece of the Earth with the right family. If you're seeking a loving, calm, and loyal companion, Ranger is the one for you! ❤️ Drop by the shelter to meet Ranger and experience his heartwarming presence. Let's help Ranger find the loving home he truly deserves!

Story
Meet Rosie, a bundle of energy and strength weighing in at 65lbs of pure muscle! 💪 With her love for people, Rosie is ready to find her forever home. While she hasn't been around smaller children yet, her high energy level and strength make her a great companion for older and larger kids & adults. She's shown to be more comfortable around male dogs than females, however she did successfully share a kennel space with Winnie, proving her ability to get along. We believe Rosie would thrive best as the only pet in the household or alongside a compatible male dog, following a successful meet and greet. 🐶 Rosie is no stranger to intelligence – she's learned to open doors that aren't securely latched and even uses her paw to keep her peanut butter-filled Tuffie toy steady while enjoying her treat. 🥜🧈 Her leash walking has improved significantly, showing her dedication to learning and adapting! If you're ready for a dynamic, clever, and affectionate companion, Rosie might be the perfect addition to your family! Don't miss the chance to meet this wonderful girl and give her the loving home she deserves. ❤️ Contact us to set up a meet and greet with Rosie today! 🏡

Meet LUCY 💕 - the playful and affectionate pup in search of her forever home! ♾️ 🐶 Lucy is a 2-year-old, fully grown beauty, weighing 55lbs. She absolutely adores playing with the water hose - it's her favorite pastime! 💦🐾 She’s always excited to take a walk, and walks well on a leash. She a peanut butter loving pup, so you’ll need to stock up! She's recently vetted and spayed, and turns out to be a very healthy girl! Lucy and Ethel were found together on June 9th near Juanita Drive, near the Nursing Home. Their bond was so strong that we initially believed they had been together for a while. However, we later discovered they had only just became fast friends! They went on to share a kennel at the Shelter until Ethel found her loving forever family. 🐾 Our vet attests that Lucy is exceptional with other dogs and has shown no signs of aggression. She interacts with smaller and larger dogs as sweetly as she has with Ethel. However, when it comes to cats, her playful nature kicks in, and she sees them as an exciting chase. If you're looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion, Lucy might be the perfect addition to your family! Give her the loving home she deserves, and you'll be rewarded with endless joy and excitement. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to adopt Lucy!

Story
f you are interested in a tough looking fellow, who in TRUTH is just a big squishy marshmallow guy..... let me introduce myself. My name is Argo and I've been at the shelter for a few months. I'd been a street guy for a while and lots of folks were concerned for my welfare and made FB posts. I found my way to Gene Record Park the same weekend and was picked up there. I LOVE to go for walks almost as much as I LOVE getting LOTS and LOTS of your attention. They've said they think I would become a couch potato.... not sure what that is, but if it comes with my person, then I'm down for giving it a try! I'm a VERY strong muscular fellow and would probably be ok with older children, but I get pretty enthusiastic and probably a bit overwhelming for a small child, but I'm willing to be trained. I am blind in one eye but that doesn’t slow me down. Come on by and ask for Argo, I'd LOVE to meet you and make you fall in love....🤍

Story
FOR ADOPTION 🐾 Meet Winnie, our playful girl who's on the hunt for a forever home! Winnie is an avid fan of walks and walks well on a leash. Her leash etiquette is on point, and she's an absolute delight to take out for strolls. She's not a "jumper" and has even made friends with an 11-year-old volunteer, proving she can bond with kids! This approximately 2-year-old gal weighs around 50lbs and has already been spayed. Her favorite pastime includes chewing on beef knee caps and savoring peanut butter on her dog biscuit. While she has an ‘alpha’ side to her personality, she's also a bundle of fun and love. We believe Miss Winnie would thrive best as an only dog of the household. Let's work together to find Winnie the loving home she truly deserves. Please SHARE this post far and wide, and if you think Winnie could be your dream companion, why not pay her a visit for a walk and some quality time? 🐶❤️
