Story
Tom is a 3-year-old neutered male Pitbull mix with a stunning brindle coat and a big, loving heart. This energetic guy thrives when he has space to stretch his legs, so a house with a fenced-in backyard would be ideal for him. He absolutely loves going on walks, and he has the cutest habit—sometimes he’ll pause, look up at you, and gently ask for a hug. Lean in, and he’ll reward you with the biggest, happiest smile!Tom prefers the company of women and is uncomfortable around most men. Because of this, he will do best in a women-only household. He has been working with our trainer to build confidence around men, and he has made progress, but this will be an ongoing journey that his new family must be ready to continue.He is also most successful as the only dog in the home, and due to his nervous energy, he should not live with children. Tom is full of joy with the people he trusts—he adores our female volunteers, loves playtime with his toys, and shines when he feels safe and understood.If you`re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with endless love, hugs, and heart-melting smiles, Tom is ready to meet his perfect match.

Story
Meet Uno, a handsome light brown Shepherd/Retriever mix with the sweetest, most soulful eyes you’ll ever see. This gentle boy may be a little shy at first, but once he knows you, he’ll become your loyal best friend and constant companion.Uno enjoys taking peaceful walks and spending quiet time with his people. He would do best in a home with a fenced-in backyard, where he can relax and explore at his own pace. Uno is better suited for a calm home with older kids. He appears to be dog-friendly, but a meet and greet is required to ensure a good match. And if you really want to win his heart, bring along some chicken jerky treats — they’re his favorite!Uno is a sweet, steady companion who just needs a little patience and love to fully blossom. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted dog who will reward your care with unwavering loyalty, Uno is the one for you.

Story
This handsome 6-year-old Retriever mix has the kind of charm that will melt your heart. With his tan coat and the cutest ears that stand straight up, Nemo is as striking as he is sweet.Nemo has a gentle and loving personality. He adores spending time outside, whether it’s going on a walk or simply soaking up the sunshine. Hugs are one of his favorite things, and he’ll happily be part of whatever you’re doing—he just loves being close to his people. And if you really want to win him over, bring some chicken jerky treats (though he’s still learning to be a little gentler when taking them!). This boy would likely be fine in either a house or an apartment, as long as he gets his daily walks and quality time with you.Important Note: Nemo is selective with cats or dogs and would need a meet and greet before adopting. That or he could be an only animal in the home, but that just means he has all the more love to give his humans!If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your best friend through it all, Nemo is ready to fill that role and shower you with love.

Story
Benji is a 10.5-year-old neutered male terrier mix with the most charming “grouchy old man” vibes you’ve ever seen. He may move a little slower these days, but don’t let that fool you — this distinguished gentleman absolutely believes he’s in charge. And honestly? It’s kind of adorable.Benji likes to keep an eye on the other two pups and makes it very clear he’s the self-appointed boss of the group. But when he’s around his favorite humans, that tough-guy act melts away fast. Suddenly, he’s just a big love bug who wants sweet pets, gentle attention, and a cozy spot near you.He adores affection and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give. Benji would thrive in a calm home where he can enjoy the simple things — comfy beds, leisurely strolls, and plenty of one-on-one cuddle time.If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a tiny bit of sass and a whole lot of heart, Benji is ready to be your forever best friend.CAME IN WITH ROCKY AND YETI. WOULD LOVE TO STAY TOGETHER.

Story
Noelle is a 3-year-old spayed female Pit Bull with a beautiful white-and-blue coat and a whole lot of love to give. This sweet girl enjoys getting out for walks and does well overall, though she can pull a bit when she gets excited—so a harness is her best walking buddy.Noelle already knows how to sit and is wonderfully polite when it comes to treats, taking them very gently. And speaking of treats… she’s definitely a foodie! Snacks are the fastest way to make her tail wag and her heart happy.Noelle can be a little vocal in her kennel, which tells us she would thrive in a home with a fenced-in backyard where she can relax, stretch her legs, and enjoy some peaceful outdoor time. Once she’s out and about, her calm, affectionate personality truly shines.When it comes to other dogs, Noelle is dog selective. Slow introductions and a meet and greet are required to ensure a safe and comfortable match. With the right setup, she has so much love and loyalty to give.If you’re looking for a smart, food-motivated, and loving companion who enjoys walks and would thrive in a home of her own, Noelle may be the perfect fit. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your family!
