Story
I got Luna as a form of emotional support, but as it turns out, she is also in need of her own emotional support and needs a better environment fit for her emotional needs that I cannot give right now. She's like a sassy old lady at times, but she is overall a very chill dog; she rests a lot. She loves to run around outside, and she hasn't seemed to slow down physically. It takes her a minute to warm up to people, and she tends to be selective about it, but when she does open up, slowly but surely, she is very loyal and affectionate in her own little way!

Story
Shadow is a gentle giant. She is a senior dog that really needs more love than she's able to receive right now. She was adopted about sixish years ago. Her ideal home would be one filled with love and attention. Despite her age, she still has energy, especially when someone starts getting excited around her. She's very passive and just wants to be in the same room as you as much as possible. She is reluctant to get into cars. She was found in a field, and I'm not sure if a car accident brought her there. She has a dog bed and dog food that the next forever home can have if they would like it!

Story
Hey there, my name is Tucker! I am a sweet and goofy boy who can be scared of new people. If you take the time to get to know me I will be your best friend! I am an energetic and young dog who would do well in an active home that can continue to work on training with me. Please ask staff if you have any questions about me!Foster notes on Tucker:`Tucker had an awesome time on our adventure at Johnston Preserve! He was calm and relaxed in the car, quietly waiting in the back until we arrived. We got some good exercise on an extra long hike, and he was great on leash. He did lots of sniffing and seemed to really enjoy being out in the fresh air and sunshine.``Snowy afternoon adventures with Tucker! He hopped in the car like a perfect gentleman and was ready to roll. From meeting Cookie and Mojo, to running fence side with the alpacas, playing ball, exploring the grounds, and winding down with a trail walk, this sweet, curious boy was all smiles. He even hung around with a new human friend (Ben) while he did some cleaning up. He was a little hesitant with Ben at first, but warmed up quickly when Ben waited until Tucker was ready. He checks in for treats, loves people, and is always game for an adventure. Tucker is silly, affectionate, and full of joy, and I’d love to see him with someone who matches his adventurous spirit.` `Tucker initially greeted me with lots of barking, but over time, he got used to my presence. He takes some time to warm up, but once he knows you, he is very friendly. He is both toy and treat motivated, but especially loves tennis balls. He does much better outside the kennel than inside. I love Tucker’s friendly and goofy personality.``Tucker is the cuddliest puppy!! We had such a good time, he was a little social butterfly. We went to blackwood first for a walk, and he was happy to be there and walked great on the leash, but his main goal it seemed was to make friends with every human there :) We had to stop and say hello to any new group of people going by. I could tell he wanted a cuddle, so we went to sidetrack for a bit on the way back. After having a quick walk around the room to say hello to all his new friends, we sat down. I invited him up on the couch, which he wasn`t sure he was allowed to do, but once he got up he was sooo happy and basically sat in my lap and got cuddles for the rest of the time we were there! He only took breaks to greet any new people who came in :) He i
