Story
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!

Story
Meet Minerva! 🐾💜 Minerva is a young, medium-to-large female dog who landed with us through no fault of her own, her previous housing rules didn’t allow dogs. Now she’s on the hunt for a new forever home where she can unpack her bags and stay put. At first meet, Minerva may be a little shy, giving you that cautious, thoughtful look as she decides if you’re friend material. Spoiler alert: you are. With just a little kindness, she opens up into an incredibly sweet, docile girl who quickly transforms into a playful, happy-go-lucky pup with a contagious joy for life. She does well with other dogs and enjoys playtime, especially when it involves running, bouncing, and showing off her goofy side. Minerva is likely potty trained, very well-mannered, and let’s be honest, extremely adorable. She has that perfect mix of gentle soul and playful spark that makes her easy to love. If you’re looking for a loving companion who starts off polite and ends up stealing your heart (and probably your couch), Minerva would make a perfect addition to your family.

Story
Sweet Mouse is looking for his second chance, the kind of home where patience, kindness, and understanding can help him blossom into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Mouse hasn’t had the easiest start to life, and he’s still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. With the people he trusts, though, he’s an absolute sweetheart, affectionate, goofy, and eager to please. Once you meet him, you’ll see just how much love this boy has to give. Mouse loves other dogs and would do best in a home with canine companions who can show him the ropes. He gains confidence from his dog friends and truly shines when he’s part of a pack. He’s looking for an adult-only home, where things stay calm and predictable, and no cats, please, they’re a bit too interesting for him! Mouse is absolutely adorable and just wants to be a good boy. With time, training, and gentle guidance, he’s going to make someone a truly loyal and loving companion.
