Story
Meet Walter, a true sweetheart of a dog! This adult 52-pound dog is a bundle of joy with a personality that shines. Walter is energetic and always ready for a game of fetch, yet he knows when it`s time to settle down on a lap for cuddles. He enjoys agility (including jumping the occasional fence), tugging, toys, walks, chase and his new pastime - swimming. Smart and obedient, he`s mastered house, crate, and leash training, making him a perfect sidekick for peaceful walks or lively adventures. He knows the sit, stay, and no commands. Walter`s curious and funny nature will keep you entertained, and his affectionate, mellow temperament makes him a great companion. His appealing nature makes him a favorite among both humans and dogs. As a social butterfly, Walter thrives on companionship and is eager to be part of a loving family where he hopes never to be alone. He is well behaved and quiet in a home environment but finds shelter life stressful. Lovable Walter is ready to bring love and laughter to his forever home - preferably your home.

Story
Meet Pulga, a young, vibrant soul still looking for a home. Pulga is a bundle of joy, always ready to engage with a playful and curious spirit. She weighs about 48 pounds and likes running, tugging, toys, chase, and wrestling. She`s smart and quick to learn, already mastering crate and leash training. She`ll need a little help with house training. She knows the come and no commands and is working on down. If she runs away while off leash she`ll come back if you call her. Despite her energy, she loves cuddling and can often be found snuggling on a lap, offering kisses generously. Pulga is a social butterfly, always eager to make friends with other dogs and is friendly and respectful in her interactions but can play a little roughly. Cats? She simply ignores them, making her an easy companion in diverse households. Due to her jumpy nature, she`ll probably be better with older children. Her friendly demeanor makes her a lovable companion for any family. Adopting Pulga means bringing home endless love and lively fun, enriching your life with her sweet, affectionate presence.(tw 3/23/2026)Click `Play` to meet Pulga.

Story
Meet Saki, a delightful 25-pound puppy with a zest for life! This friendly and energetic little one loves cuddling and playing. Saki is already leash trained, making walks a joy, and he won`t even run away while off leash. He`ll need help with house training though. Though he`s a bit shy around other dogs, he`s wonderfully friendly with cats and adores children, making him a perfect family companion. Saki does have a habit of chewing, so he`ll need some toys to keep him busy. If you`re looking for a loving and lively friend, Saki`s your pup! He was given up because his humans moved out of the country. Adopt Saki and fill your home with joy and playful laughter. (tw 4/22/2026)
