Good with dogs,
Story
Betsy is one of those quietly wonderful dogs who often gets overlooked in a busy shelter environment. But once she’s in a calmer space, her true personality shines. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves nothing more than leaning against your legs for comfort and cuddles. Loud noises and barking can make her a bit anxious, and she may whine when things get overwhelming. But give her a quiet home, a soft place to rest, and a caring person by her side, and Betsy blossoms into the most loving companion. She adores sitting close, soaking up gentle pets, and sharing peaceful moments with her person. Betsy is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and gives her heart fully. She’s tender, loyal, and ready to thrive in a calm home where she can feel safe and loved. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive girl who will lean in, literally and emotionally, Betsy just might be your perfect match.

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Large)

Size
(when grown) -

Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ray is a gentle soul with a heart full of love; she just needs a little time to show it. She can be shy at first and prefers a few slow, patient introductions before she truly feels comfortable. But once she warms up? She transforms into the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. Ray adores giving kisses and will happily lean in for cuddles and pets. Butt scratches are her absolute favorite, and she’ll let you know with a happy wiggle. She’s also very treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding for everyone. When Ray gets extra excited, she may break out her adorable zoomies, but she settles down quickly and loves to relax with her people. She’ll thrive in a home where visitors are introduced slowly and gently, allowing her to build trust at her own pace. Overall, Ray is a tender, loving companion who just needs a little patience to blossom, and once she does, she’ll shower you with affection every day.
