Story
Meet Foxy, a stunning 2-year-old spayed female Staffordshire Terrier with a beautiful reddish-brown and white coat and a personality as bright as her name! This social butterfly LOVES being around people and wants nothing more than to be included in whatever you’re doing. If you’re looking for a companion who’s always happy to see you, Foxy is your girl.Foxy is an energetic, outdoorsy pup who enjoys going for walks, running around the yard, and soaking up sunshine. She’d thrive with an active family who can match her enthusiasm for adventure. Because of her energy level, she would likely do best in a house with a fenced-in backyard where she can safely play and explore. She can be dog selective, so a meet and greet is required to ensure a perfect fit with any canine friends. One thing is certain, though—Foxy is a total foodie. Treats make her tail wag nonstop, and they’re an excellent way to win her heart!If you’re ready for a fun, loving, energetic companion who will bring joy, excitement, and lots of affection into your home, Foxy is waiting to meet you!

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. Because loud noises can make him nervous, 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
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
Kenai is a 9-month-old neutered male Carolina/Heeler mix with a soft tan coat and an eager heart ready to learn and love. This young pup is the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet devotion—he truly just wants to make his people proud.Kenai is still working on his basic manners, especially learning not to jump when he gets excited, but he’s smart, willing, and happy to please. With a little patience and consistent training, he’s going to shine. He loves going for walks and exploring the world, but due to some old healing wounds on his neck, he’s most comfortable walking on a harness right now.This goofy guy enjoys running, playing, and getting all his zoomies out, so a house with a yard would be the ideal setup for him. He appears dog-friendly, but as always, meet and greets are required to ensure compatibility with any pets already in the home. Kenai rides well in the car and, most importantly, has a huge weakness for pup cups—nothing makes him happier than a tasty treat for being a good boy!If you’re looking for a loving, enthusiastic companion who’s ready to learn and grow with you, Kenai is excited to join a patient, kind family who will help him become the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

This beautiful girl is a total people-lover — she lights up the moment she meets someone and is happiest when she’s soaking up attention from her humans.Saffron is wonderful in the car and makes an excellent adventure buddy. She knows how to sit for treats, though she can get a little too enthusiastic about them, so a bit of treat-taking practice will go a long way. She’s also known for her adorable butt-tuck zoomies, and while she’s typically not a jumper, her silly zooms are sure to make you laugh!When it comes to other dogs, Saffron isn’t a big fan.

She’d be just as happy being your one and only dog so she can soak up all the love.With her joyful personality, love for people, and infectious smile, Saffron is ready to brighten someone’s life.
