Meet Maizie: A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe HavenHi there! My name is Maizie, and I’m a one-year-old Retriever/German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to unlock it.I’ll be honest—the big, wide world can feel a little overwhelming to a girl like me. I’m what my friends here call a `sensitive soul.` I might hide behind a wagging tail at first, but beneath my shy exterior is a devoted companion who is simply looking for a place to belong.What Makes Me Special:A Loyal Shadow: Once I know I’m safe and loved, I will be your most faithful friend, sticking by your side through every quiet moment.A Gentle Nature: I find joy in the soft things—gentle head scratches, a calm environment, and the sound of a kind voice.Potential to Blossom: I’m like a flower that just needs a little bit of patience and sunshine to truly bloom.My Perfect Home:Because I’m easily startled by loud noises and fast movements, I’m looking for a peaceful `retirement-speed` lifestyle. I’ve decided that I want to be the only star of the show, so I’m looking for a home where there are no other dogs or cats—just more room for me to love you!If you have a quiet home and a patient heart, I promise to reward you with a lifetime of devotion. Will you be the one to help me find my courage?

Story
Meet McGee A senior Shepherd with a heart as big as his hugs.McGee is about 8 years old, and he’s finally ready for what he’s always deserved: a peaceful home, a soft place to rest, and people who will love him for the rest of his life.For three long years, McGee lived confined to a crate, missing out on so many of the simple joys every dog should experience. But somehow, that hard chapter didn’t take away who he is. McGee still chooses love. He still chooses affection. He still chooses to trust. And if you believe second chances matter, McGee just might be the dog you’ve been waiting for.One of McGee’s absolute favorite things? Hugs.And not just any hugs — the full-body, lean-into-you kind that make you feel truly connected. He doesn’t just want to be near you; he wants to be with you. He soaks up affection like he’s been saving it for years, and honestly… he probably has.Now that he’s a senior, McGee is all about the calm life. He’s not looking for chaos or nonstop action. He’s looking for steady, peaceful days, quiet moments, and a home where he can finally feel safe. Senior dogs have a special kind of love — loyal, gentle, and deeply grateful — and McGee embodies all of it.And let’s not forget one of his greatest joys… treats!McGee loves them so much that he gets extra excited, so we usually toss them instead of hand-feeding. It’s not a bad habit — it’s just McGee being McGee, joyfully living in the moment and reminding us how sweet the little things can be.McGee doesn’t need perfection. He needs kindness. A stable routine. A warm spot to land. Someone who sees beyond his past and recognizes the incredible soul standing right in front of them, ready to love with everything he has.If you’ve ever thought about adopting a senior dog, this is your sign. Seniors like McGee don’t ask for much — just comfort, love, and a chance to finally belong. In return, they give you a level of companionship that’s hard to put into words.McGee is ready to be someone’s shadow, couch buddy, loyal best friend… and someone’s finally.He’s waited long enough.Come meet McGee and give him the loving retirement he has earned.

Story
Meet Jeter Jeter is a German Shepherd who may be a bit shy at first, especially in new environments or with unfamiliar people. Once he has time to settle in and build trust, his true personality comes through — active, driven, and very much the classic German Shepherd.Jeter loves staying busy and thrives with an active lifestyle. He enjoys hiking, bike rides, and structured outdoor activities where he can move, work, and stay engaged. He would be an excellent match for someone who enjoys spending time outdoors and incorporating their dog into daily activities.With other dogs, Jeter can do well in facilitated playgroups with proper structure and supervision. He tends to be more comfortable around female dogs and benefits from controlled, thoughtful introductions.Jeter would be happiest in a home with plenty of space, such as a large fenced yard or a ranch-style setting, where he has room to burn energy and relax. He needs an adopter who understands the German Shepherd breed, can provide clear structure and boundaries, and is confident handling a strong, intelligent dog.Jeter is best suited for an experienced home that is committed to continued training, mental stimulation, and leadership. In the right environment, he has the potential to be a loyal, driven, and rewarding companion.

Story
Reese is a one-year-old pit bull with a heart as big as his energy! This handsome boy is super energetic, smart, playful, vocal, and loving. He bursts with puppy-like enthusiasm at first, but once he’s gotten that energy out, he settles into a calm, cuddly sweetheart who just wants to be close to you.Reese adores affection — he’s a huge cuddle bug who loves being held and showered with love. His ideal home would be with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle — think hiking trails, beach adventures, or long walks exploring the world together.Because of his excitement and playfulness, He’s fantastic with other dogs and loves to play — though he can get a bit vocal! Don’t let his playful growls fool you; he’s not aggressive, just full of personality and enthusiasm. Reese’s story is truly one of hope. He was heartbreakingly set to be euthanized, but this special boy was given a second chance — and he’s making the most of it. Now, he’s ready for the forever family who will understand that he was failed by humans once, but he still believes in love and loyalty. If you’re looking for an affectionate, adventurous companion who will fill your days with joy and your heart with love, Reese is your guy.Let’s help Reese find the forever home he deserves.
