Story
6 months old (estimated) Neutered male 20lbs Has done well with other dogs at the shelter Has done well meeting kids at the shelter Did not seem to mind cats at the shelter Spud is your classic puppy; full of spunk, curiosity, and big feelings. This little guy loves to play and explore, and he’s never shy about using his voice when he wants attention. With his energetic personality and eager spirit, Spud is ready to learn, grow, and make every day an adventure. If you’re looking for a lively puppy who will keep you smiling, Spud is the one! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.December 12, 2025, 4:22 pm

He walks beautifully on leash, matching your pace without pulling. He is incredibly affectionate and will happily rest his head on your legs, smother you with kisses, and stretch out as a complete bed hog if you let him. He loves being right by your side, choosing his person with devotion and staying close like a true sidekick. He enjoys chewing on a bone and does not mind if you sit beside him or even take it from him. He may get vocal when he wants attention, but once he is with you, he becomes quiet, content, and relaxed. When it is time for fun, he absolutely loves the pool, tossing his own ball and splashing after it with pure joy. With his loving nature and playful spirit, John Paul is ready to bring warmth, companionship, and happiness to his new family. John Paul has been waiting a while to find his family so his adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take him home!

Story
Looking for a goofy, sweet, loyal best friend? Frank loves people, plays well with other dogs, and thrives with an active, loving home. We rescued Frank and he’s now around eight years old. He loves being near his humans, included in whatever they’re doing, and he thrives with attention, interaction, and companionship. Frank would do wonderfully in a home with other dogs or cats, with proper introductions. He’s house-trained and obedience-trained. Frank is a friendly, social sweetheart who’s happiest when he’s included in the fun. He’s full of love (and occasional stubborn charm)! He absolutely flourishes with an active family. He’s playful, affectionate, and genuinely a big goofy sweetheart. Frank thrives with a confident, loving owner who can provide structure, reassurance, and plenty of affection. He’s very social, he loves meeting new people. If you’re looking for a faithful, fun, affectionate companion who will fill your home with love and laughs — Frank is waiting to meet you.
