I'll need a family willing to help me learn my manners, understand boundaries, and grow into the amazing, well-rounded girl I'm meant to be.

Story
Meet Athena – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Athena is a beautiful 3-year-old girl who is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccines. She's ready to find the patient, loving home she's been waiting for. Athena can be a little skittish when meeting new people and may need some extra time to feel safe and comfortable. She tends to warm up to women more quickly than men, but once you've earned her trust, you'll discover just how incredibly sweet and affectionate she truly is. This energetic girl is looking for an active family that can keep up with her zest for life. Whether it's long walks, hiking adventures, or plenty of playtime, Athena will happily be by your side. She would also benefit from continued training to help build her confidence and strengthen her bond with her new family. Athena is searching for a home with no cats and older children who can respect her need for patience as she settles in. She has been tested with a couple dogs here at the shelter and done well, she is still labeled dog selective and a dog test will be required. If you're willing to give Athena the time she needs, you'll gain a loyal, loving companion who will make every day brighter. Come meet Athena and see if she's the missing piece of your family!Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Noelle! Your future best friend is waiting! At 3 years old and around 75 pounds, Noelle is a whole lot of love wrapped up in one beautiful pittie package! Noelle can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so she may need a couple of visits to feel comfortable and let her personality shine. But once she opens up, you'll discover a sweet, loving girl who enjoys attention and absolutely LOVES her toys! Noelle came to us as a stray, so unfortunately, we don't have any history on her past. Here's what we do know: Spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Needs to be the only dog in the home. Cat compatibility is unknown. Unsure how she is with children, so the entire family will need to attend the meet and greet. Nervous at first with new people; patience and multiple meets may help. Energetic and would love an active family. Would benefit from continued training. Toy lover extraordinaire! Noelle may need a little extra time to trust you, but we promise she's worth getting to know. Behind that initial nervousness is a sweet girl just waiting for someone to give her a chance to feel safe, loved and at home. Could you be the patient, active family she's been waiting for? Noelle is ready for her fresh start! Let's help Noelle find her forever home!Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Sosa This handsome 8-year-old gentleman is truly a gentle giant. Sosa has a super sweet and calm demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. Because of his easygoing nature, we think he would likely do well with kids who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. We're also unsure about cats, and if there are feline friends in the home, very slow and patient introductions will be essential. Sosa is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines — he's ready to head home with his forever family! If you're looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Sosa just might be your perfect match. Interested in adopting?

Her dream is to curl up next to you on the couch, convince you she's the perfect lap dog, and soak up all the love and attention you have to give.

Story
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS? Meet 13-year-old Carmello, the pit mix who apparently missed the memo that seniors are supposed to slow down! This handsome gentleman is 13 going on 3! He's playful, energetic, loves his toys, enjoys car rides, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. Basically, he's got his retirement plan all figured out... and it involves FUN! Carmello is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He LOVES attention and would be thrilled to have a family to spoil him with all the love he deserves! Cats? We're not quite sure how he feels about them, so slow, patient introductions are best. Kids? We think he would do best with older kids, maybe 10 plus, who understand boundaries and know that even the most lovable old man needs a little personal space sometimes! He can also get a bit overstimulated at times and will do best with an understanding and knowledgeable owner. Carmello has plenty of life, love, and squeaky-toy destruction left in him. He's looking for a family who will see past his age and recognize the fun-loving, affectionate boy waiting to steal their hearts. Senior dogs are seriously underrated! Come meet Carmello and give this distinguished gentleman the happily-ever-after he deserves! Interested in adopting?
