******Please note, once you complete the initial screening, you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks, and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer-run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Hi! I am Pawl Stanley and I am a 2-year-old, 70lbs, neutered, and chipped. I have a loving personality and just want to be everybody’s friend! I haven’t had the best life until now. I was abandoned by my previous family and left in an apartment for around 2 weeks with no food and only the toilet to drink from. I was found there and brought to the shelter. A foster stepped up to get me out of the shelter and now things are looking up for me! I get to spend time with humans and both big and small dogs. I love everyone! I like to play with other dogs, but sometimes I get a little too excited for the small dogs and scare them when I do my play dance too close to them! My foster family has been working with me on my manners - I am a good boy, but I am doing my best to become the best boy I know I am meant to be! I already know how to sit, and I am currently learning crate training, wait/stay, leash walking, and basic manners. My foster family says I'm improving every day! I don’t really understand personal space because I want to be close to my friends. Some of my favorite things are making friends (both human and dog), chew toys, eating my veggies (like carrots and broccoli), going on walks (even in light rain), and diving for ice cubes in the water bowl. While I do enjoy my foster family, I am looking for my forever home. I want to be a part of a family that needs a big, excited, bundle of love in their lives! If you are interested in adding Stanley into your family, please fill out the adoption application below! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DDAR/Dog ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***

That face that you fell for is the happy-go-lucky heartthrob we call Charlie. He is the kind of dog that meets the world with a big ol’ smile and all the wiggle-wag one dog can physically create. He is a goofball with bouncy joy, the cutest charm, and some amazing cuddles. Charlie is estimated to be just over one-year-old, he weighs 50-pounds, and we think he is a bit of a lab/bulldog mix but truthfully we can’t say for sure given he is a rescue. The only test I could run showed he is 100% sunshine and sweetness. See for yourself then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/sQRj9YmGuG4 Charlie is a friendly boy that makes it hard not to fall for him immediately. After I spent the day with him I didn’t want him to go- I had fallen for him. He is instantly affectionate and melts into a puddle of belly rub seeking butter. If he doesn’t melt you will feel him lean into you for hugs, and he will even let you scoop him up for an extra sweet cuddle. This guy’s happy energy is contagious and that doesn’t stop with people, he is just as thrilled to make new dog friends as he is to be by your side. The afternoon we spent with Charlie we introduced him to a wide variety of dogs to get a feel for his play style and the types of dogs he enjoys most. It didn’t take long at all for us to be impressed with how friendly and welcoming he was. Even when other dogs came in a little hot or pushy, Charlie handled it with grace. With the right dog, an equally bouncy, playful dog, he showed us he loves a bit of bouncy, physical play but it isn’t his constant. He was comfortable enough to lay down beside brand-new dogs a sign of total trust. He’s the type who only joins in play when invited and isn’t going to push his way in as a third wheel or shut down the fun for them. He isn’t going to cause a stir but will always try to help keep the vibes tuned to fun-loving, calm joy. Charlie does need some leash work, he has the basics down and honestly I feel like I am betraying him to say such a thing because it didn’t bother me one bit. All I could see was a happy boy who was just so excited to explore the world! The more he gets to experience and enjoy the better he will be at pacing himself . That and some practice (and maybe a few treats to reward him for checking-in and walking by your side), he will learn quickly. He is a smart boy, eager to please, and already shows how well he responds when guided gently. He will bond fast and deep with his people. During the time we spent with him, the first person who interacted with him as his handler walked out of the yard, he stayed by the gate waiting- a loyal love bug through and through. Because of that devotion, he may miss you when you go at first, its natural, but with time and routine he will settle into knowing his favorite people always come home. Charlie would do best in a home with a yard and another playful, medium-energy dog to run and romp with. He could adjust to apartment living once his leash manners are polished as long as he gets plenty of playtime and adventures to meet his mental and physical needs. No cats for Charlie though, his eager friendliness does not vibe with cats. We all know cats- if you’re too eager they don’t care for you and that goes for dogs too. Charlie gets to focus his love and happiness towards people and dogs. If you’re looking for a happy, loving, goofy companion who’ll make every day so much better, Charlie’s your guy. One look into that glowing, goofy face and you’ll know -his boy was made to love you. Ready to welcome some sunshine into your life?

Meet Starlight — a big squishy stuffed-animal collector trapped inside the body of an American Bully mix. ✨ At around 5 years old, Starlight has officially decided that stuffies are EVERYTHING. The moment she walked into the house and spotted a box of plush toys, this girl immediately stopped what she was doing to go shopping. No hesitation. She carefully picked out her favorite toy, proudly carried it around the room, tossed it up in the air for herself, chewed on it happily, and honestly acted like a little kid at Build-A-Bear. Watching her with toys is genuinely adorable because she takes her collection VERY seriously. And honestly? Starlight is kind of iconic for it. This is not the type of dog who needs constant attention, nonstop cuddles, or somebody entertaining her every second of the day. Starlight is an independent queen. She’s happiest just peacefully existing in her space, carrying around a toy, lounging in a comfy spot, and doing her own thing while her people simply let her be herself. That doesn’t mean she isn’t sweet — because she absolutely is. She has the cutest giant smile and this soft squishy face that makes you want to kiss her forehead immediately. She just prefers relationships that move slowly and respectfully. She’s the kind of dog who appreciates calm energy, patience, and people who understand that trust doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful. Watch Star Light's video, then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/LwvMRDxUDEA?si=y0x5oTK3pXEDklII Because Starlight is naturally cautious and still learning that the world is safe, she’ll need a calm, experienced, dog-savvy home that will let her settle in at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable though, she really just wants a peaceful little life: A soft bed. A backyard to wander around tossing her toys in the air. A comfy couch. Her emotional support stuffies. And humans who love her exactly as she is. With other dogs, Starlight is definitely more of a “quiet roommate” type than a social butterfly. During a recent visit with us away from her foster home, she mostly kept to herself, carried her toys around proudly, and focused more on finding cozy little spaces than interacting with the new people and other pups. She wasn’t interested in playing or joining the dog party — honestly, she seemed much more content simply existing nearby and doing her own thing. She did best around calm, respectful dogs who gave her space and didn’t put pressure on her to interact. When dogs approached her, she tolerated them well as long as they stayed easygoing and carefree, but she clearly preferred peaceful coexistence over active friendship. Her perfect dog sibling would basically be another independent little soul who’s happy to share a home, nap in the same room, and mind their own business together like two introverted roommates. But let's be honest, Star Light would prefer being your one and only gal. She’s just a girl who loves her personal space. If she went to a home with another dog, her ideal match would be a super mellow, easygoing dog who’s happy simply existing nearby without trying to wrestle, play constantly, or overwhelm her. She’s not looking for chaos — she’s looking for peaceful company. Starlight also appreciates people who understand and respect her boundaries. She’s made really lovely progress already and showed she’s trying hard to communicate appropriately when she feels unsure. She simply needs humans who will listen to her body language, move slowly with her, and let trust build naturally instead of forcing interactions before she’s ready. Because of that, no kids for Miss Starlight, and no cats either — they’re just a little too exciting for her. A quieter home with a predictable routine and a yard would likely help her feel safest and most comfortable. Apartment life would probably feel a little too busy and overstimulating for her personality. There is something really special about dogs like Starlight. She’s not trying to be the center of attention. She’s not asking to go everywhere or meet everybody. She’s an independent soul looking for somebody who understands that love can look like peacefully sharing space together. Some dogs want to be attached to your hip every second of the day. Starlight just wants to vibe nearby with her emotional support stuffed animals and know she’s safe. 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Otis feels like the kind of dog you get as a karmic gift for all the goodness you have given. He feels earned! He is deeply, deeply sensitive and thrives from connection.Simply, he is a heart-to-heart dog. The kind of dog who notices, is intuitive, and cares in a way that almost feels too good to be true for a dog. Go watch Otis Underbite on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this thoughtful blue boy with the perfect little underbite and the even sweeter heart behind it. https://youtu.be/DTybE-klqhU Otis is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 57 lbs. Rescue rules apply, so breed and age are our best guess, but we suspect some pittie/staffie type goodness in the mix. What we know for certain is that he is absolutely gorgeous, wonderfully mannered in the home, intuitive and happiest living a quiet, steady kind of life. His intuitive nature comes with a certain, intentional caution, like he is guarding his gentle heart. But once he decides you are safe? You can watch that caution leave his body. Underneath is an incredibly gentle, loyal, soft-hearted dog who loves deeply and quietly. He is currently fostered in a loving home where his foster absolutely adores him, and honestly, it makes sense within minutes of meeting him. Otis is house trained, crate trained, easy to live with, and settles beautifully indoors. He loves toys, enjoys car rides, and lights up for walktime. His leash manners are lovely too. He walks at an easy pace and prefers peaceful strolls over chaotic adventures. While he can navigate busier parks or neighborhoods, he prefers calmer environments and predictable routines. This is not a dog looking to host the neighborhood barbecue. He is more of a “quiet morning coffee on the porch” kind of soul. When meeting new people, especially men, Otis needs a little time and thoughtful introductions. He can initially become overwhelmed or shut down if too much attention or handling is placed on him too quickly. What stood out when we first met was not aggression or volatility, but sensitivity. Otis communicates discomfort by giving himself space, shying away from the uncertainty, but it mush be said just how gentle he remained even while stressed. He is not confrontational. He is careful. And honestly? Once you understand that about him, he makes a lot of sense. Otis bonds hard to his people. His foster shared that he is incredibly loving at home, playful with toys, affectionate, and deeply loyal. He simply needs relationship-building and patience before that side emerges. He is very much a slow-burn dog. Not the kind that walks into a room acting like everyone is his best friend five minutes later. He notices who makes him feel safe, who listens to him, who gives him room to breathe, and then slowly, steadily, he opens up. With other dogs, Otis is more aloof than social. He is not looking for rowdy dog park energy or constant wrestling matches. He tends to avoid pressure from pushy dogs and has shown himself to be submissive and gentle in interactions. His foster mentioned he tends to prefer calm, confident female dogs, which tracks with his overall softer personality. He coexists very respectfully, waits patiently for treats, and does not create conflict around food or toys. One of the sweetest moments from the afternoon we spent with him was watching him meet our house cat. He was gentle, calm, quietly curious, and very relaxed. The team felt very positively about his cat interactions, and we can see so many qualities that would allow him to live peacefully with calm or dog-savvy cats. Otis would thrive most in a home that appreciates sensitive dogs for exactly who they are. A home that does not expect instant confidence, forced socialization, or a “go everywhere and meet everyone” lifestyle. In return, you are getting a deeply loyal companion with lovely house manners, a gentle heart, soulful eyes, and one of the cutest underbites you have ever seen. Some dogs are fireworks. Otis is candlelight. Quiet, steady, comforting, and easy to stay close to once you understand how special he is. Ready to make the first move?

You saw his face, the soft smile is what grabbed you, it is such a good smile! This is King and he is an easy-going presence, an aspiring toy collector, and perfectly friendly. King is the type of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention to quietly win you over anyway. See King in action on YouTube, then come right back to read more about the laid-back companion who’s perfectly content with a toy in his mouth flashing you that soft smile in an effort to get you to play tug-o-war with him. https://youtu.be/TjJtjBAbO68 King is estimated to be around 2 years old and currently weighs 50 lbs, he is on his gains journey and will settle in closer to 55–60 lbs. He appears to be an American bully/pittie mix, and as always with rescue, breed and age are our best guess. What we do know? He’s a steady, grounded kind of dog who simply wants to share space and maybe roll around in the grass every now and then. King has a calm, observant energy, hence the name. He is friendly meeting new people but isn’t going to pull you towards every stranger that passes, he isn’t over the top about it or desperate for attention. He willl accept affection, lean into it when it’s there, but he’s not going to demand it or cling to you until you cave.. It’s an easy rhythm with him… you’re here, he’s here, and that feels good. Now… his joy! Toys! King loves them. Carrying them, squeaking them, keeping track of them, occasionally showing them off like prized possessions. It’s his version of entertainment, you will enjoy it too of course, and he’s perfectly happy doing his own thing nearby while you go about your day. This is a dog who knows how to coexist in a home without needing your constant attention or engagement. With other dogs, King is confident but thoughtful. He is friendly when meeting new dogs and his enthusiasm would make you think he was going to meet and then run off to play but nope. He gives happy greetings and then is more than happy to just hang with his new friend- no play needed to have a good time. He’s not much of a player. Despite his love of toys he is more than happy to share and once introductions are done, he’s generally aloof and unbothered. On leash, King has the basic down but will need continued guidance once he gets home. He can be strong when he sees something he wants to get to, hello new dog friend. He will benefit from practice alongside structure and consistency. Because of this, he’s not a fit for apartment living right now and would do best in a home with a yard where he can wander, sniff, and enjoy his independence. King’s energy level is medium to low. He enjoys toys, enjoys exploring, and easily settles into a relaxed, independent groove. He’s not looking for constant activity… just a home where he can be understood, given a little guidance, and appreciated for exactly who he is. Apply to adopt King today!
