Story
This 5-year-old German Shepherd/American Pit Bull Terrier mix is a loving, affectionate, and deeply loyal companion seeking a stable, patient home. He has a gentle nature with the people he knows and bonds closely with his primary caregivers. He enjoys cuddling, sleeping close, and being near his person, and he has a calm, sweet temperament in a familiar environment. He has previous experience living with another dog and did well in that home. However, he can be reactive toward unfamiliar dogs, cats, and new people, so slow, structured introductions and consistent guidance are essential. He also experiences some separation anxiety and is best suited for an adopter who can provide routine, reassurance, and companionship. On walks, he is curious and enjoys exploring—especially when he finds acorns or fresh grass to nibble. Indoors, he settles well and is affectionate, gentle, and eager to please. He is being rehomed solely due to a family move and is not being surrendered for behavior

Story
Aries comes from a shelter originally. He’s been with me for the past two years. He’s snuggly and very affectionate. He loves toys that squeak and crinkle. He has the largest puppy dog eyes ever and he’s a lazy loaf. He will accompany you on runs though he’s a little out of shape and he LOVES the snow. He needs someplace with a yard so that he can run around and since he’s so gentle I’d love for him to go to a family with kids. He’s 3 years old and his birthday is 11/30/2023. He is microchipped and needs to have his shots updated.

Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home. To meet me, please reach out to heather.nicole.d@gmail.comKobe has heartworm which means he needs rest and to be calm while he gets fixed up. The good thing is that HRA will take care of all his treatments free of charge if you adopt him.Kobe has the most amazing pips over his eyes! And they say the bigger the pips, the sweeter the dog - and that`s all so true for precious Kobe. He has the most darling tail wag - combined with his puppy dog eyes, he is irresistible! He`s a petite fellow at about 25lbs.Kobe is seeking a fabulous home with adopters that can help him. He does need to be calm and quiet during his treatments. The HRA staff can tell you more about the care (and it`s really so easy!) he will need while he heals. Can you give this wonderful, friendly pup the grand home he so needs? He will be so grateful. Meet Kobe soon.

Story
Hi, Im Ozzy! Im a sweet, thoughtful boy whos learning how wonderful the world can be. I can be a little shy at first, but once I start to feel safe, my gentle personality really shines through. Im the kind of dog who observes everything carefully, and when I gain confidence, youll see just how smart and affectionate I am. One of my favorite things in the world is going for walks and being outside. I love a nice, brisk pace and enjoy patrolling my surroundings like a true shepherd. Im off to a great start with leash skills and continue to improve every day. I stay focused on my walk and take everything in calmly, which makes our outings enjoyable and peaceful. While I enjoy treats, Im more motivated by routine, reassurance, and learning from other dogs, which really helps me blossom. Speaking of other dogs I absolutely love them. Being around canine friends brings out my playful, animated side and gives me a big boost of confidence. Ive made great progress simply by following the lead of other dogs and being part of a pack. Im also a fantastic car companion. I recently handled a long road trip like a pro quiet, calm, and happy to relax and nap after taking in the fresh air. Once Im settled, Im very easygoing and adaptable. At home, Im a quiet and well-mannered housemate. I dont bark much and enjoy having a cozy space to relax. Im continuing to learn the basics and build confidence with guidance and patience, and Im already showing how eager I am to grow. If youre looking for a gentle, intelligent dog who will thrive with another canine buddy and a loving, understanding family, I might be your guy. With the right environment and support, I know Ill continue to come out of my shell and become an incredibly loyal companion. I cannot wait to find a forever home where I can share all the love I've got to give.
