Hello, We. have a tough situation going on with my dad's dog, Kyro. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in August and left behind his dog, Kyro. My mom is disabled and has been struggling to taking care of him (physically). We have reached out to several shelters in our area and we haven't had any luck with finding a placement for him. He is around 8, chipped, and good with kids/cats/other dogs.

Story
Hi there, I’m Kawai! I’m a big, happy girl with an even bigger heart and zero awareness of my size! I stick close to my people and love being wherever you are. I’m super smart and already know my basic commands, plus I’m working on fancy tricks like weaving between legs!I’m energetic, a little clumsy, and guaranteed to make you laugh as I slide across floors or bonk into things. I love playing with other dogs, did great with kids, and I’m fully house trained- no accidents here! I’m crate trained too! My ideal home is an active one that enjoys training, laughs at my goofiness, and wants a loyal sidekick (personal space not included). Come and meet me soon please?

Story
Hey there! I’m Jackson — a 10-month-old male Shepherd mix weighing 40 pounds of energy, love, and loyalty! 🐶 I’m full of playful spirit and LOVE kids , car rides 🚗, and all the toys you can throw my way. I’m potty trained ✅, crate trained 🏠, and treat motivated, which makes me a quick learner and super fun to train! While I can be a little shy at first and need a bit of time to warm up, once I do, I’m all in. I’d thrive in a home with a yard or space to run and explore 🌳—but I’m also happy to chill as your favorite couch cuddle buddy. I adore people ❤️ and I’m ready to find my forever home where I can play hard and love even harder!

How beautiful is Zuri?! 😍✨ This stunning girl is under a year old and is a German Shepherd. Her previous owners got her as a pup but soon realized that German Shepherds grow BIG! 🐾💪 Unfortunately, they surrendered her to local animal control. Now, Zuri is ready to shine! 🌟 She loves to play and enjoys all the active adventures that German Shepherds are known for! 🐕💨 She’s great with kids and is a real sweetheart! 👧💖 Zuri would prefer to be the only dog in her kingdom, basking in all the love and attention from her humans. 👑🐶 While she loves her cuddles, she also has an independent side, just like her breed! If you’re looking for a beautiful and sweet girl who can reign as the queen of her castle, look no further than Zuri! 🏰💕 (Born March 2025)
