Story
Meet Luna – Your Low-Drama Queen With a Nose for AdventureLuna isn’t here for chaos. She’s here for good vibes and peaceful days. This mature, level-headed lady takes her time to check out the world, then casually heads off to sniff every inch of the yard like she’s on a very important investigative mission.She’s easy to leash and easy to handle, comes when called, knows sit, and takes treats with gentle manners. Luna isn’t overly affectionate or pushy, but she enjoys being nearby and quietly sharing space with her people — the kind of companion who fits right into your routine without making everything about her.On walks she may pull a bit when something smells extra interesting, but it’s more “determined explorer” than full-on drag you down the sidewalk. Once she’s had her sniffing fill, she settles back into her calm, composed self.Her previous family reported that Luna was housebroken and crate trained, friendly and submissive, and not destructive — meaning your furniture, shoes, and sanity are all likely safe. If you’re looking for a sensible, steady dog who won’t redecorate your home and will happily turn your yard into her personal scent museum, Luna might be your perfect match.

Meet Billybob, Sniff-Detective Zoom Commander!Likes: Sniffing everything, discovering new “clues” in the grassLooking for: A home that appreciates an active, curious pupBillybob is a German Shepherd mix with a story-loving nose and a whole lot of enthusiasm for sniffing out life’s mysteries. He’s a nose-to-the-ground kind of guy who could happily spend ages investigating every blade of grass like it holds the secrets of the universe. He’ll pause his detective work long enough to come trotting over for some butt scratches—his favorite interruption—before zooming right back into scent mode. Billybob also appears to be house-trained, which makes him an even bigger catch.Fun Fact: Billybob’s nose-to-ground trot is so focused he sometimes forgets his back end is still wiggling behind him—it’s like his sniffer and butt are living two separate but very excited lives. Ready to bring home your very own sniff-detective? Billybob is ready to investigate you!

Story
Meet Michonne – The 12-Year-Young Dutch Shepherd With Puppy Spirit!Michonne may be 12 years old, but don’t let the number fool you — this spry, spayed Dutch Shepherd is living proof that age is just a statistic. She has the grace of a wise old soul and the energy of a dog half her age. She even jogs with volunteers, casually reminding everyone that she’s still got moves. She loves treats and sits politely for them, showing off her good manners like a true lady.At the fence, Michonne has shown friendly behavior with several dogs — lots of nose sniffing and even a few face kisses. Her previous family shared many wonderful things: she’s housebroken, good on leash, has had training, and was friendly with adults and children. She didn’t escape and loved chew toys and bones. Playful, smart, devoted, and full of life, Michonne is ready for her next chapter — one where she can enjoy love, comfort, and all the treats she sits so nicely for. She may be a senior, but she’s still got plenty of joy, energy, and heart to give.

Story
Meet Marly – The Sweet & Cautious Malinois MixMarly is a 1-year-and-4-month-old Belgian Malinois mix who came in with her brother, Mango. She’s currently part of our Shy Dog Program, gaining confidence every day, and learning to navigate unfamiliar environments and new people at her own pace. This smart girl already knows sit, stay, leave it, and come, and walks well on leash — though she can get spooked sometimes. Marly is head-shy and nervous around things being thrown, even toys, so she does best with gentle, calm guidance.Once she feels safe, Marly’s affection and loyalty shine. She’s eager to connect, learn, and build trust with a patient, loving person who will help her blossom. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, sensitive, and intelligent companion to grow with, Marly is ready to meet you — she just needs a calm hand and a big heart.
