Looking to rehome Ube, he is a shepherd mix that is 2 and half years old. He would do best in a home that can keep up with his energy and meal requirements. I am only rehoming him because I am going through moving and personal transitions and can no longer give him the time or resources he deserves. He loves people and to play, but and calm and peaceful introduction to new people gets him the most comfort.

Story
Hoku’s story has taken an unexpected turn. He was once adopted from the shelter and recently found his way back to us as a stray. Sadly, his family didn’t come for him. We don’t know what circumstances they may be facing—but we do know this: Hoku is still full of love and ready to share it.At around 3 years old, Hoku is that just right age. He’s past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of joyful years ahead. What you see is what you get—no surprises, no “he’ll grow out of it.” He’s already the dog he’s meant to be, and it’s a really good one.Hoku is a sweet, fun-loving shepherd mix with a comfortable medium energy level. He enjoys hanging out in the yard with his dog friends and soaking up time outside, but he’s just as happy leaning in for affection and connection with his people. He’s friendly, engaging, and easy to enjoy—one of those dogs that simply feels good to be around.Hoku didn’t give up on people, even when people didn’t come back for him. He’s ready for a second chance with someone who’s ready to choose him for good.Hoku is a winner—and he’s waiting for his forever. ??He has participated in shelter playgroups with higher energy dogs and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  Looking for a friend for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter with you for a meet and greet.  Check him out in playgroups here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.

Story
Meet Tuffy! Tuffy may seem loud and high-energy in the shelter, but in a home he’s a completely different dog. Tuffy got to have a sleepover with one of our volunteers and here is what we learned: Once settled, he’s calm, cuddly, and relaxed—no jumping, no barking, just peaceful vibes. He slept 9 hours straight at my feet and was fully housebroken with zero accidents.He loves walks, toys (especially balls), and sniffing the world like a curious little scientist. Public outings went great—cars, people, sirens? No problem. He’s a little unsure in new situations but tries his best and gains confidence with time.Tuffy bonds closely with his people and likes to know where you are, but he settles quickly with routine. The shelter stress doesn’t show the real him—the real Tuffy is a sweet, affectionate companion who just needs someone to see past the noise.Calm. Playful. Loyal. Ready for a home. Tuffy has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  He`s also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met at the shelter.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out his playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.

Story
Meet Willow  — a sweet, petite shepherd with a gentle soul and a quietly playful side. Willow is the kind of girl who prefers to keep things drama-free. While others stir up chaos, she’s happy doing her own thing, observing the world and choosing kindness every time.Shelter life has been a little overwhelming for this sensitive pup, and when things feel scary, Willow has shown a bit of “naughty” behavior — but nothing a loving, confident leader and a predictable routine can’t fix. What she truly needs is someone to show her that the world isn’t such a big, frightening place after all.With structure, patience, and consistency, Willow is going to bloom. She’s playful without being wild, respectful of other dogs, and eager to learn what it means to feel safe and secure. Once she trusts you, you’ll see her personality shine brighter every day.If you’re the kind of person who believes in guiding rather than rushing, leading with kindness, and celebrating small victories, Willow just might be your perfect match. Willow  has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.
