Story
She was a gift from a friend to my son when she was a baby. She is one year old now full of energy and happiness. She is very friendly and playful. She doesn’t bark much and is pretty calm. She doesn’t have accidents in the home. Might need additional training with the new family. All me and my family are looking for is for a family that will love and care for her.

Story
Hi there! I’m Zoe I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, my sweet and gentle personality really shines. I’ve been learning that the world can be a kind place, and every day I grow a little more confident. I love being part of a family . I do wonderfully in a home with kids, even with all the running, playing, and laughter. I’m calm, observant, and happiest when I know I belong. I’m also great with other dogs ! I enjoy playtime and do well in group settings. I’ve even helped a few nervous pups feel more comfortable just by being myself. Watching me come out of my shell has been pretty special. I settle into routines well, communicate my needs, and appreciate a home that lets me take things at my own pace. With patience, love, and understanding, I truly blossom . What I’m hoping for: A loving forever home A patient, kind human A calm environment where trust can grow If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a gentle soul, I might just be your girl . I’m ready to start my next chapter—could it be with you? Love,Zoe ##2529909##

Story
This stunning 6-year-old shepherd is active, smart, and walks beautifully on a leash. He'd love an active family to keep busy and loved. In the shelter, she does seem to be stressed — when people walk by his kennel, she barks at some dogs and ignores others. Super friendly out in foster.  ##2574240##

Story
Gandalf - 57 lb, 3 years old, Shepherd mix. This poor guy was a stray; he was caught using a dog trap. He’s shut down in the shelter environment. He’ll need an experienced, patient handler who can help him to decompress and come out of his shell. Gandalf was evaluated by staff; key observations are as follows: Tolerates gentle petting on the head; shut down; shows limited social skills with people. Overall, appears under socialized and a flight risk! Leash walking is currently very uncomfortable; he will resist, yelp, and attempt to hide. Enjoyed spending time in the yard (on leash), tolerated people being present but does not show much enthusiasm or engagement. He did take treats gently from the handler. Tested well with another male (Coffee); they were able to sit in the grass together and relax. He was also introduced to a more energetic female dog, River. He initially growled at her but then was able to coexist and allow some curious sniffing. Any future introductions to other dogs should be slow and supervised. When returning to his kennel, Gandalf walked inside on his own to hide and allowed staff to remove his leash without issue. ##2604285##
