Story
I`m Clifford, and can you guess why? Oh, you little genius you, it IS because I`m a big, red dog! An 86 pound dog to be exact. Perhaps I have Great Dane or Rhodesian Ridgeback or another fun breed in there to give me this stature, but one thing is for sure, I am GORGEOUS. I`m a quiet guy who is always watching and listening, and I do best with slow introductions to meeting new folks. Once I`ve determined you are a good egg, I warm up rather quickly and will be your loyal sidekick. I have lived in a home previously, and I`m believed to be housebroken. I do know sit, paw, and down, and for being a jumbo guy, I tend to be an easy walker on the leash. I am still getting to know other dogs, but I`ve been respectful in passing thus far. Will you be my Emily Elizabeth and love me forever? Let`s meet today!

Story
Meet Benny! Benny is a fun-loving companion who oozes affection! Quick to trust and play, he has yet to meet a dog he doesn’t adore. He has not been cat tested, and it is recommended to introduce small dogs slowly due to his exuberance for more friends. His foster family has three dogs of ranging sizes and Benny is getting the hang of reading the pack social cues. He knows sit and paw and is working on down and settle. Benny is eager to please and would benefit from more training. On walks, he does well on leash but might fixate on the occasional squirrel. Benny enjoys a good car ride due to his curiosity and willingness to explore. He is calm and confident on social outings but most of all, Benny loves being outside and going on daily walks, if you’re looking for a loving adventure partner, Benny is your guy!

Story
Come, child. Look deep into my piercing blues and do exactly as I say....give me a snuggle. Please? I am Rosetta, and I really, REALLY like snuggles. I’m a submissive girly who smiles whenever I get excited. I pick up my top lipper and show you all my teefies while I wag my tail at the speed of light! I’ve been very respectful of other dogs and don’t mind their company, but I would prefer a home without kitties. I adore people and will gladly show off my tricks for you: sit, down, my nice leash manners. The staff believes I could also be housebroken as I am a model Office Manager. Please ask to meet me today!

Story
My name is Petey! I am about two years old and weigh around 26 lbs. I was found on the street back in November 2025 but my foster owners are unable to keep me. I love to be around my owners and look for any chance to curl up next to them—on the floor, on the couch/bed (if they let me), or even on their lap in a chair despite my size. At first I can be a little protective and may bark at strangers, but I warm up pretty quickly when I see they are friendly. I like women and children and tend to bark only at men. I often use my arms for playing with people and it can be pretty funny! I will chase after cats and smaller dogs if I get the chance, so I would prefer a household without them. I know commands like sit, stay, down, bed, and come here. I love car rides and will hop into the car without any hesitation. I will come with my crate, bed, and toys to whomever takes me into my new home.
