Story
Charlotte was a gentle brown-and-white dog who once lived in a small house with a family. One day, the family moved away and left her behind. For days, Charlotte waited by the front door, hoping someone would come back for her. She felt lonely and scared, but she never gave up. A neighbor eventually noticed Charlotte and called for help. Soon, animal rescue workers arrived and carefully brought her to a shelter. At first, Charlotte was nervous in her new surroundings. She missed having a home and didn't understand why she had been abandoned. The shelter staff showed her kindness every day. They gave her warm meals, soft blankets, and plenty of love. As the weeks passed, Charlotte's tail began to wag again. She made new friends, enjoyed walks outside, and discovered that people could still be trusted. Today, Charlotte is healthy, happy, in rescue and ready for a fresh start. She dreams of finding a family who will love her forever. When visitors stop by her kennel, she greets them with bright eyes and a hopeful smile. Charlotte's first home may have left her behind, but her story isn't over. Her next chapter is waiting—and it might begin with the family who chooses to adopt her.

Milo was originally adopted from a shelter in Delaware in 2020. Milo is 14 years old and is extremely loving and playful. Milo is good with any pet and child BUT he does want your attention constantly. We are looking for a loving home that will go on small walks, long couch naps (for him of course) and give him the time he deserves. Milo is a fashionista that loves to be clothed!

Story
**Waiting for Forever** Bella was a sweet rescue dog with soft golden fur and kind brown eyes. She loved belly rubs, , and curling up beside people she trusts. One afternoon, Bella's owners brought her to the shelter. She wagged her tail, thinking they were going on an adventure. But after signing some papers, they walked away without her. Bella watched the door for hours, expecting them to return. While the shelter staff cared for her and gave her plenty of love, Bella still wondered if she would ever have a family again. Despite her sadness, she greeted everyone with a gentle tail wag and hopeful eyes. The volunteers quickly fell in love with her. They discovered that Bella was friendly, well-mannered, and eager to make new friends but is afraid until she trusts you Now, Bella spends her days dreaming of a forever home—a place where she can feel safe, loved, and never be left behind again. Every time a family visits the shelter, she stands up a little taller and wags her tail a little faster. Somewhere out there is the person meant for Bella. Until they arrive, she waits patiently, her heart open and ready for a second chance at happiness.

Story
We got Ralph when he was a puppy in Shelton. Ralph is very loving. He is also very timid. Loud noises do scare him. He loves going to the dog park and playing with other dogs. We walk him a lot. Ralph loves attention but is also VERY particular when meeting new people. If you want a loyal loving dog Ralph is for you.
