Story
Meet Helen! 💛 This sweet and spirited girl is full of energy and joy. She loves to explore, sniff around, and go for walks. she’s always ready for an adventure! While she can pull a bit on the leash, she listens well and is eager to please. Even though Helen is partially blind, she walks confidently, follows her person closely, and always has a big smile on her face. She loves to play fetch, run around, and toss her toys in the air with pure happiness. Helen is also incredibly loving and enjoys attention and affection from her people. Because she can be dog selective, a meet-and-greet with other dogs is recommended. Helen is a bright, happy girl with a huge heart who’s ready to find her forever home—one that will appreciate her adventurous spirit and all the love she has to give.

Story
Meet Zeus 🐾 This distinguished middle-aged shepherd has seen his fair share of zoomies and puppy chaos—and he’s officially retired from the playgroup scene. Zeus is a gentleman who knows what he likes: calm vibes, respectful company, and a cozy spot to unwind. While he can be dog-selective, Zeus is deeply people oriented and thrives on human connection. He's not clingy-he simply appreciates a good balance of companionship and personal space. Zeus is ready to trade the hustle of the dog park for the serenity of a backyard nap or a leisurely stroll. If you’re looking for a mellow, wise soul to share your days with, Zeus might just be your perfect match. *67 lbs*
