Meet Max, the 2-year-old bundle of love who's ready to find his forever home! Max is an affectionate and loyal dog who thrives on companionship and would love to be part of a family. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, so he’d be a great addition to a multi-pet household. While he’s used to the outdoors, Max would absolutely adore the opportunity to spend more time inside with his family, snuggled up and basking in the love he has to give. Max has been in foster care for over a year, and during this time, he’s proven to be a hidden treasure—one who simply needs the right family with time and patience to bring out his full potential. He’s ready to be the loyal companion you’ve been searching for. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate dog to share your life with, Max is waiting for you! ##2129310##

Story
Dewey is a big, beautiful boy with brains to match his good looks — and energy to spare! Under two years old, he’s still very much in his “young dog” phase, but he already has a great head start on basic obedience. He knows sit and stay, responds well to food rewards, and has shown great improvement with recall.   This sweet guy is very affectionate and loves his people. After he gets his wiggles out, he’s more than happy to cuddle up and “potato” with his family. He’s currently fostered in a busy home with multiple dogs and outdoor cats and does well with everyone.   Where Dewey will need continued support is with dog social manners. He sometimes struggles to read social cues from other dogs and would benefit from an owner who can confidently guide him and continue reinforcing appropriate behaviors.    Crate training may be helpful as house training is still in progress. Consistency and structure will be key to his success.   Dewey is looking for a family that sees his potential and is excited to keep building on it. With experience, patience, and continued training, this affectionate, smart, and sturdy boy will reward his people with loyalty, love, and plenty of personality.   ##2668172##

Story
🎬 Brad… aka Bradley Cooper… aka Brad Pitt 🎬 (he contains multitudes and at least 3 identities) Brad has been with us since October 2025, which at this point feels less like a shelter stay and more like a long-running residency. Sir… it is time to go HOME. Let’s get into it: Is he a stout 60lb boy? 👉 Yes. Built like he could help you move furniture but would rather sit on your foot for emotional support. Does he get along with other dogs? 👉 Yes. No drama. No group chats. Just vibes. Is he intimidating in his kennel? 👉 Also yes. He looks like he’s about to ask if you have a meeting scheduled. BUT THEN— You stop walking… …and this man gently puts his paw through the gate like, “hi excuse me I am baby 🥺” Does he pull on the leash? 👉 Oh, 100%. Brad leaves the shelter like he just heard “FREE FOOD OUTSIDE.” …but give him a minute and he’s like, “ah yes, a calm stroll, I am refined.” Does he know his names? 👉 Every single one. Brad. Bradley Cooper. Brad Pitt. Call him anything and he’s like, “yes that’s me, I’m booked and busy.” ✨ Here’s the deal: Brad is 75% tough guy, 25% clingy little spoon …and honestly? That’s a perfect ratio. He has been overlooked since October, probably because he puts on his “don’t perceive me” face in the kennel… but the SECOND you give him attention, he turns into your shadow. Like… personal space? Never heard of her. 🎥 If you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it. Come meet Brad. Laugh at Brad. Fall in love with Brad. Adopt Brad. He’s tired of paying rent in attention. 🐾❤️
