Story
Hi, I`m Cheese. I am a gentle, sweet dog with a playful spirit, though I can be a bit shy at first. I am very friendly and enjoy connecting with people once I feel comfortable. I may need a little extra patience and individualized training, as I do not respond to auditory cues the way most dogs do. I am looking for a loving home where I can receive calm, compassionate care and continued guidance. If you are searching for a loyal companion who can bring warmth, joy, and affection into your life, I would love the chance to become your forever friend.

Story
Meet Virginia, a resilient and joyful 2-year-old female Boxer who’s ready to bounce her way into your heart! Rescued from a high-kill shelter where she landed on the euthanasia list due to a severe upper respiratory infection, Virginia spent weeks in the hospital fighting for her life. With incredible spirit and top-notch medical care, she made a full recovery and is now 100% healthy, spayed, fully vaccinated, and bursting with energy. True to her Boxer roots, Virginia is the definition of upbeat and playful. She’s boisterous, goofy, and still has that irresistible puppy-like sparkle at two years old. Whether she’s zooming around the yard, tossing her toys in the air, or leaning in for a full-body wiggle, her happiness is contagious. Despite all her silly energy, Virginia has a remarkably gentle and patient side that shines around children. She’s protective yet soft, making her a natural family dog who seems to understand little humans need an extra dose of care. Her sweet, loyal nature means she bonds deeply with her people and is always ready to be your shadow, your comedian, or your guardian—whichever the moment calls for. Virginia has already proven she’s a fighter with a heart of gold. Now she’s looking for her forever family to share all that love and zoomies with. Could that be you? This goofy, brave, tail-wagging girl is ready to make every day brighter—are you ready to give her the happy ending she’s earned?

Meet Ragnar, a 2-year-old male Boxer-Staffordshire terrier mix who's overflowing with kindness and joy and ready to become your new best friend!

Yet he's also remarkably tender-hearted and patient, especially with kids—he instinctively knows to be extra soft and caring around little ones. Loyal to his core, Ragnar forms deep bonds and loves being by your side, whether as your entertainer, devoted shadow, or protective companion. His sweet, loyal nature means he bonds deeply with his people. Having overcome so much, this sweet, tender and resilient warrior deserves his perfect forever home. Are you the family he's been waiting for? Open your heart to Ragnar—he's more than ready to fill it with endless love and wagging-tail adventures! Are you ready to open your home and heart to the dog who never gave up?
