Ledyba (named after the Pokémon; often shorted to 'Ledy') is my 9YO’s favorite of the puppies because she’s a fantastic cuddler and would curl up with him while he reads all day. She can be very timid to start, but once she’s settled in she’s right there with you, ready to curl up while you work or rest. She’s great on a leash, but sometimes new sounds can trigger a freeze response. Patience has been key in helping her move forward, and her confidence grows every day. She often “checks-in” on a walk, happy to be going on an adventure with you, and my younger kids can handle her without issue. Ledy can be a bit goofy. She doesn’t jump on people, but her zoomies do include loping around like a baby moose. Even so, she’s very aware of her body and I’ve had zero issue with her running into anyone or knocking anyone over. She asks so politely to climb into my lap and has the softest paws when she does it. Ledy’s perfect home would be one that gives her time to figure out new situations. You can apply directly for Ledy by clicking the Apply for Adoption button on the linked page. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-833 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Looking for a shadow who’s more interested in your Friday night plans than the local dog park drama? Meet Kay, the ultimate people’s pup who is ready to be your new best friend! KayKay is the kind of dog who believes humans are the absolute center of the universe. While other dogs are busy chasing squirrels, Kay is busy figuring out how to get closer to you on the couch! She has a personality that radiates warmth, making her the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal, devoted sidekick. She’s spirited, soulful, and ready to fill your home with a whole lot of love. Wait until you see her in action! Check out Kay’s adorable adoption video right here to see those tail wags for yourself! https://youtu.be/F2uTFAsozDo Kay is what we call a velcro dog in the best way possible. She doesn't just live in your house; she lives with you. Whether you’re working from home, Folded laundry, or just hanging out, Kay wants to be right there by your side. She’s not necessarily looking for a marathon partner; she’s more of a let's explore the backyard and then nap kind of girl. If you've been looking for a shadow that never leaves your side, Kay is your girl. We think KayKay is a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, but as with any rescue, her DNA is a fun mystery! At 29 lbs, she’s the dream passenger, just the perfect huggable size! Kay is currently thriving and learning the ropes of home life. She’s a smart cookie who understands the routine of a household. She’s the type of dog who would love a consistent routine where she knows exactly when the next round of pets is coming. She is currently thriving in her foster home and learning the ropes like a total pro. She’s a smart cookie who has the household routine down to a science. She knows exactly when "Pet O’Clock" is, and she will be there to collect her taxes. Highly treat-motivated? That’s an understatement. She’s basically a vending machine in reverse. You put the treat in, and she outputs Good Girl behaviors instantly! Best of all? This sweet girl is a friend to everyone. She currently lives with children and has proven to be wonderfully kid friendly. Whether she’s being a gentle companion for the little ones or a focused student during training time, KayKay is the ultimate family addition. When it comes to other dogs, KayKay is a polite socialite. She can live with other canine siblings, but she’s also a lady who knows her worth and isn't afraid to set a boundary if a playmate gets a little too pushy. She’d be a great match for a home with a mellow, respectful dog or she’d be perfectly thrilled to be your one and only and soak up every bit of the spotlight! KayKay recently had a meet and greet with a cat and was a total lady! We think she’d be a great roommate for a feline friend, and a kitty sleepover would be the ultimate test to see if they can become true BFFs. Because Kay likes to find her voice when she’s tucked away in her crate, she’s looking for a home with a yard rather than an apartment setting. She wants a place where she can bark her "hello" without worrying about the neighbors! Her ideal home is one where she gets plenty of human interaction and maybe a sunny spot in the grass to lounge in. Something truly cute about her? The way she looks at you like you’re the only person in the world because to her, you are! In short, Kay is a soulful, people loving treasure who is just waiting for a family to call her own. She’s got the loyalty, the looks, and a whole lot of love to give to the lucky person who brings her home. Ready to make KayKay the newest member of your family?
