Story
Woody & Jessie 🖤🤎About 10 days ago, these two young shepherd/hound mixes wandered into our shelter together. We believe they’re siblings, likely around 1–2 years old, and despite our hopes, no one has come looking for them.The bond between these two is something special.Wherever Jessie goes, Woody follows. Wherever Woody goes, Jessie is right behind. They find comfort in each other, they play together, they nap together… they even choose to share a kennel.Today was their first chance to really stretch their legs in our play yard, and they were pure joy to watch. They romped, wrestled, chased each other, and played until they simply couldn’t play anymore. For a little while, they got to forget they were in a shelter and just be happy.They’re incredibly sweet, well-mannered dogs. Both know how to sit when asked, love attention, and have gentle, affectionate personalities. They’re the kind of dogs who make you smile without even trying.We know bonded pairs can be a little harder to place, but our hearts would love nothing more than to see Woody and Jessie spend the rest of their lives together. After everything they’ve been through, they deserve to keep the one constant they’ve always had—each other.If you have room in your heart and home for two amazing companions, please come meet Woody and Jessie. We truly believe they’ll reward you with twice the love.Thank you for taking the time to look at our precious "pound puppies" If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at 730-272-1071. We would love to help connect you with your new best friend.

Story
Bruno belonged to my niece who is moving and can't take him with her. I agreed to foster him until I could find him a good home. He was an inside dog until about 3 years ago then he stayed in a fenced in yard with his companion. He has never been on a chain. He is great with kids and is so loveable. He doesn't try to climb the fence. He loves attention and is well behaved. I have small inside dogs and can't keep him. I want him to go to a family who will spend time with him and give him the love he deserves.

Story
Meet Gus! He is a handsome, 70 lb bundle of love who has been a devoted family member since he was a puppy. Now 5 years old, he is in the prime of his life: fully house-trained, well-mannered, and a world-class snuggler. Gus is a loving and sweet boy just looking for a family to embrace and love on him. Our family deeply loves Gus but unfortunately he and his senior, fur-brother Rusty have recently started experiencing conflict and it has caused Gus to become very anxious. It breaks our hearts to consider rehoming him but we are just trying to do what is best for him so that he can have an environment where he can thrive. It can take Gus a little longer to warm up to new faces but once you are part of his circle, he is incredibly affectionate and loving.If you can offer a patient home where he can let down his guard, Gus will give you 100% of his heart.

Story
We got Poirot to be a companion to our aging Malamute who had recently lost his friend, our 12 yr old German Shepherd. Poirot did the trick and seemed to lift our malamute’s spirits until he also passed away. Now Poirot is an only dog and we have full time jobs with 2 little girls under 4 yrs old. Poirot is a little too big and active for them so we don’t spend much time with him. We feel that at this point in our lives, we aren’t able to give Poirot his best life and are seeing if some other family has better circumstances with a lot of love to give.
