Story
Sunshine was born around November 11, 2019. Her and her 7 other siblings were found by the border of Mexico by border patrol where her mother got scared and apparently ran away. She was then fostered in a home, got spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. I adopted her when she was 4 months old. She has been an amazing, loving, caring dog to me. However, when I had my child, she wanted more attention from me understandably. Unfortunately I can’t give her the time she deserves, she prefers to stay away from my kid so being in adult only home would be best. She takes time to warm up to you but when she does, she’s your best friend. She needs someone to be active with her since that is her breed. Her friendliness to dogs is dependent on the other dog. She is a dominant female therefore prefers dogs who are submissive(if you have another pet). She unfortunately barks at people even though we tried training her when we had time. I love her so so much but she deserves a loving home.

Story
Meet Kronk! He is a 1-year-old Rottweiler who is sweet, loving, and a total giant softy. Kronk is incredibly friendly and versatile: he loves kids, is great with other dogs (he grew up with two Frenchies and is good with small dogs), and is good with cats!Kronk is the ultimate mix of an adventurer and a couch potato. He loves going on long walks, but his absolute favorite activity is pretending he is a tiny lap dog and cuddling on the couch. He is highly food-motivated, knows most of his basic commands, and can easily be won over with peanut butter and pancakes. He is potty trained (he will explicitly let you know when he needs to go out), kennel trained, and is good outside.We are heartbroken to rehome him, but we simply do not have the time to work with him and give him the attention and dedication he deserves at this stage in his life. Kronk is intensely loyal and will make an amazing companion for a family who has the time to invest in him.

Story
Cindy Lou turned 3 in September. She is a medium-large Great Dane mix female (mom:full Great Dane/dad: medium size mutt). Cindy’s original owner passed away from a sudden stroke and she was to go to a shelter. Unfortunately, she was with him dead for a few days before being found. Her mother, brother, and other pets went to new homes, and she was the last pet left. She was traumatized by all that took place in a short time frame. We had one of her sisters since puppyhood so we took her in to avoid the stress of a shelter on her.We have enjoyed having her with us but the sister dogs are competitive and DO NOT GET ALONG. Cindy is very loving and eager for affection once she gets to know you. She is skeptical at first and keeps her distance from the unknown but is not aggressive. She is a couch potato but enjoys walks and knows how to play with a ball. She listens fairly well to commands. We’re disabled and can’t afford to keep her now esp. with the tension and risk to both dogs.

...CeCe is a sweet, energetic girl who loves to play fetch, then curl up next to her person for a cozy nap. She also absolutely loves getting butt scratches and back scratches!CeCe has bounced from home to home, but that hasn`t dampened her spirit one bit. She is still a happy, loving girl who is ready to find someone who will give her the forever home she deserves.She is already spayed and ready to go home today! All CeCe needs now is someone to play fetch with, give her plenty of scratches, and let her curl up beside them for a nap. ...

Story
...Deacon was found as a stray by a member of the community on West Nixon Street in Pasco.He is neutered and ready to go home today!Deacon currently weighs about 77 pounds, and this big guy is quickly becoming a staff favorite. While he may be large in size, he`s every bit the gentle giant. There`s just something about him that makes you smile, and we often find ourselves looking at him and wondering... what`s not to love?One of Deacon`s favorite pastimes is rolling around in the grass like the happy `pittopotamus` he was clearly meant to be. Watching him soak up the sunshine with a goofy grin on his face is enough to brighten anyone`s day. He also knows how to sit, lay down, and even crawl, showing that he`s already got a few tricks up his sleeve.Deacon does well on a leash, though his enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of him at the beginning of a walk. Being a strong 77-pound dog, he can pull at first, but once he settles in, he`s much easier to handle and enjoys strolling alongside his person.We`re still getting to know Deacon, but everything we`ve seen so far points to him being an affectionate, fun-loving dog who simply wants someone to share life with. Whether he`s showing off his tricks, rolling in the grass, or leaning into you for attention, Deacon has a way of making everyone around him fall in love.Since Deacon was found as a stray, his history with other dogs or cats is unknown. Meet and greets are required with any dogs currently in the home prior to adoption.Deacon`s adoption fee is $50. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and treated for fleas, ticks, and worms.Our shelter operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Holds, deposits, and pre-adoptions are not allowed, and as a stray-intake animal control facility, animals may transfer to other shelters or rescues at any time.Come meet Deacon today—we have a feeling you`ll be asking yourself the same thing we do: what`s not to love?
