Meet Pandora! 🐶💖 Get ready to smile, because Pandora is guaranteed to brighten your day! This two-year-old, medium-sized Bulldog mix is a delightful combo of goofy charm and irresistible cuteness. With her expressive face, big soulful eyes, and stocky, squishy build, she’s got that perfect “beefy but adorable” look that turns heads everywhere she goes. Pandora’s personality is just as lovable as her looks. She’s playful and affectionate, always ready for a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or some silly zoomies in the yard. When playtime’s over, she’s the first to flop down beside you, happy to soak up all the love and attention she can get. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to romp around with. Pandora has that special balance of fun and chill, she knows when it’s time to play and when it’s time to relax. Whether she’s making you laugh with her goofy antics or melting your heart with her snuggles, Pandora brings joy to every moment. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, and delightfully chunky best friend to fill your home with love and laughter, Pandora is your girl! 💕

Story
Ridge is a hound mix with long legs, a goofy grin, and enough charm to win over everyone he meets. He’s the definition of “handsome and hilarious” all lanky limbs and happy tail wags, with a heart as big as his goofy smile. True to his hound nature, Ridge is curious, playful, and full of personality. He’ll make you laugh with his silly antics one minute and melt your heart with his sweetness the next. All he really wants is a comfy place to land, a soft bed to stretch out on, and a family who will love him for the joyful, affectionate dog he is. Ridge does seem to be apprehensive with men and would prefer a home without men. He is such a sweetheart and would love a home to call his own!

Meet Paisley Petty! 🐾🌸 Paisley Petty is a senior beagle mix with a soft heart, a charming little personality, and just enough sass to keep life interesting. She came to us from a local open-intake animal control with some skin issues that we’re working through, and she’s been a trooper every step of the way.

As a distinguished older lady, Paisley isn’t chasing chaos or marathons, she’s all about the finer things in life now: cozy beds, leisurely strolls, gentle affection, and quiet companionship. She has the cutest little quirks that make her impossible not to smile at, whether it’s her thoughtful expressions or the way she politely soaks up attention. Paisley is looking for a calm, peaceful retirement home where she can finally relax and be adored the way she deserves. Her adorable looks are perfectly matched by her tender, affectionate nature, making her the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. If you’re searching for a loyal couch companion with a sprinkle of personality and a whole lot of love to give, Paisley Petty is ready to settle into her forever home. 🏡🐶💛
