Story
Birdie is a unique little mix with the cutest face and the sweetest eyes! We’re not exactly sure what her breed recipe is but she definitely has a whole lot of personality.  This girl is CLINGY in the best possible way. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to be your constant companion, Birdie may be your girl! She loves attention, belly rubs, and being right where the action is. And when it comes to fun? Birdie LOVES the pool!  She’s also an incredibly observant girl. When she’s out walking around the shelter property, she’s constantly watching the other dogs from a distance and taking everything in. She definitely has a confident, dominant personality around other dogs, so she’ll likely do best with a family willing to give her some structure and introduce her to other pets properly. Birdie also appears to be housebroken, which is always a pretty fantastic bonus! She’s sweet, smart, curious, affectionate, and just quirky enough to keep life interesting. Those soulful eyes will get you every time.  If Birdie sounds like your kind of girl, come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your family!   ##2821552##

Story
Meet Ripley. This beautiful brindle girl has already overcome so much in her short six months of life. Ripley was found on the side of the road, terrified with a cardboard box and blanket. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was understandably very scared and unsure of the world around her. But look at her now. Ripley has come such a long way. She has learned that people can be kind, that she is safe, and that there are so many wonderful things waiting for her. She is friendly, incredibly loving, and absolutely loves getting attention from her people. And of course, she’s still a puppy. That means she’s still working on potty training and learning all those important puppy manners. She’s a smart girl, though, and with patience, consistency, and someone willing to continue teaching her, we know she’ll get there. One of Ripley’s favorite things is playing outside in the pool. There’s something pretty special about watching a once-terrified puppy discover that life can actually be fun. Ripley deserves a family who will continue showing her the love and security she should have had from the very beginning. She has already come so far. Now she just needs someone to help her take the next steps. ADOPTION FEE $125 ##2808777##

Black Jack is a two-year-old lab/pit mix looking for a home of his own. He’s mostly housebroken, walks well on a leash, and enjoys spending time outside where he can run around and stretch his legs. While toys haven’t really impressed him much so far, he’ll never turn down a bowl of food or a tasty treat. Black Jack is fully vetted and ready to find his family. If you already have dogs at home, we highly recommend scheduling a meet and greet at the shelter to make sure everyone is a good fit. Come meet Black Jack and see if he could be your new best friend!

Story
Parker is a very strong, handsome pit bull who’s been patiently waiting for his home since early December. At just over a year old, he still has that playful puppy energy and a personality that will keep you smiling. Parker is deaf, but don’t let that fool you. He’s incredibly smart and eager to learn. One of our kennel techs has been working with him using sign language and treats, and he has come such a long way already. He’s very treat motivated and loves having a job to do. His absolute favorite game is tug-of-war. He’s going to win every time too. He gets along well with other dogs and does a great job keeping his kennel clean during the day. Parker is still learning leash manners and currently thinks the leash is just another tug toy, but with a little consistency and continued training, he’ll keep improving. What really makes Parker special is his sweet, goofy personality. He’s full of love, eager to connect with people, and ready for someone who will continue helping him grow. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion and don’t mind losing a few tug-of-war matches, Parker might be your guy. Come meet him and see if he’s the missing piece to your family.
