Story

He may have a few years (and a little gray around the muzzle), but don’t let that fool you—his heart is as big as ever.Known for his sweet nature and calm demeanor, Barrett is incredibly friendly with people and loves to make new friends. He takes treats like a true gentleman—soft and oh-so-polite.Though he has some hip issues that come with age, Barrett still gives it his all to keep up on walks and playtime. His spirit is strong, and he never says no to a short stroll or a cozy nap in the sun afterward.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side, offer endless affection, and ask only for love (and maybe a treat or two), Barrett might just be your perfect match.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Meet Max!This 1-year-old, 46-pound Shepherd mix is playful, sweet, and full of life! Max was recently adopted but returned through no fault of his own—his playful energy was just a little too much for the resident dog. Now he’s back and ready to find a home that’s the perfect match for his bouncy spirit.Max loves kids and is a big-time snuggler who adores his people. He’s active, curious, and happiest when he’s exploring the world, playing fetch, tugging on toys, or zooming around the yard. He also enjoys winding down with some quiet time—he’s the best of both worlds! His previous family said he does okay in a crate and does well with a routine, but he doesn’t love being left alone for long stretches—he’s a social pup who thrives with companionship and engagement.Here at the shelter, Max has continued to show us just how friendly, fun, and loving he truly is. He’s looking for a home that can keep up with his energy, provide mental stimulation, and offer a consistent schedule to help him settle in and shine.If you`re ready for a loyal adventure buddy with a heart full of love and a whole lot of goofiness—Max is your guy! ????We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Hello there, I'm Eric! Don't let my numerical name fool you, I'm all heart and no math. I'm just a puppy, but I've got a lot to give. I love to play and make everyone around me smile. My favorite game? Fetch, of course! I'm gentle with everyone I meet, making sure to greet them with a wagging tail and a soft nudge. I'm also quite the sweetie, always ready for a cuddle or a nap on a warm lap. You'll find that I'm a quick learner too, eager to please and quick to understand commands. So why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to fill your life with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. I may be just one pup, but I have enough love for four! DOB: 11/20/2024 Adoption fee: $300
