Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Story
Chirpa is a sweet, mellow pup with a calm soul and a heart full of quiet affection. While he can be a bit timid at first, he warms up quickly—especially when you approach him with patience and kindness. Though he is still learning to walk on leash, Chirpa is easy to to maneuver (even if he’s a bit of a hefty guy!) and handles new situations best when things move slowly.He enjoys spending time outdoors, where he’ll casually wander the yard or settle into a comfy spot in the grass to soak up the sun and gentle pets. Chirpa may be shy, but his wagging tail and soft eyes say it all—he’s just waiting for the right person to help him feel safe and loved.

Story
Meet Mrs. Manfredi, the queenpin of cuddles! Step aside, Dwight, there`s a new boss in town, and her name is Mrs. Manfredi. Named after the one and only Dwight Manfredi from Tulsa King, this 5-year-old pit bull mix carries herself with all the confidence, charm, and street-smart swagger of a true underworld legend, just with way more tail wags and belly rubs. Mrs. Manfredi is a big, thick girl with a heart as strong as her muscles. She`s all about loyalty, love, and keeping her crew (aka her people) close. With her powerhouse physique and gentle soul, she`s the perfect blend of strength and sweetness, kind of like Dwight himself if he traded cigars for squeaky toys. Mrs. Manfredi is done with the street life and is looking for home to settle down in and call her own turf. Adopt Mrs. Manfredi today!
