Nydia's Story Looking for Her Person A Gentle Rottie with a Big Heart This beautiful 3-year-old Rottweiler mix (about 72 lbs) is searching for a calm, loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. Shes a sweet, sensitive girl who may seem a little shy at first—especially around loud noises or sudden movements—but give her a little time and you'll see her true personality shine. Once shes in a comfortable space, she relaxes, explores, and will happily come over for affection. What makes her special: Walks nicely on a leash Friendly with people and enjoys gentle attention Loves to explore and be near her person Gets wiggly and excited when meeting other dogs (especially at a distance!) Shes currently a bit nervous in the shelter environment and tends to look to her people for reassurance—shes the kind of dog who will form a deep, loyal bond with her adopter. She also has the cutest habit of carrying around her stuffed duck for comfort—its her little security toy, and it melts hearts instantly. Good to know: Can be head-shy and startled by quick movements. Still building confidence May guard her favorite toy around other dogs, so thoughtful introductions and management are important. Her ideal home: A patient, understanding adopter who can help her build confidence at her own pace. A quieter home would be best, where she can continue to blossom into the loving, loyal companion shes meant to be. She doesn't need perfection—just someone willing to go slow, offer reassurance, and love her for who she is. If you're looking for a devoted companion with a gentle soul, she might just be your girl. Nydia is currently attending a board and train program and will be ready to show off her good manners to her forever family. Apply to meet her and see if you're the safe place shes been waiting for.

Story
Hello! My name is Levi and I'm a handsome, loving and energetic young dog with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! My foster family wants you to know a little bit about me! I am completely potty trained and sleep peacefully through the night. I know my basic commands like sit, give paw, and stay. I'm a sooo smart and enjoy learning, too. But being a puppy, I am looking for a home that will continue working on training with me! Because I'm young, I can be very playful and sometimes mouthy when I'm overexcited. I'm working hard at learning appropriate boundaries, so a home with older children or adults would be best. But the foster family wants everyone to know that I am a WONDERFUL dog who deserves a family that can match my energy and help me become the amazing companion I know I can be! If you are looking for a loyal, fun-loving pup, you are looking for ME!!!!! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a pre-adoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Tail wags and wonderful cuddles-Levi
