Story
Meet Lucy — 79 pounds of pure sparkle and sass. 💅💎 This 7-year-old Bully mix didn’t just arrive from the shelter — she made an entrance in her hot pink, rhinestone-studded collar like the diva she was born to be. Think “Real Housewives,” but with more slobber and better cuddles. Her foster shared that although Lucy is big, she is not a big presence in the house. She is clean, housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive. Not high energy. And she completely ignores the cats!! If you’re looking for a dog with star power, a heart of gold, and a flair for the fabulous — Lucy’s your girl. ✨ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Alamo (‘MoMo’) is a sweet, young blue-nose American Bully with a lot of love to give. She enjoys time in a fenced in yard doing zoomies, sniffing & exploring. She also loves her antler/chew bones, Kong toy, rope/squeaky pull toys & playing tug any chance she gets. She has a soft, shiny grey and white coat & is 5 yrs old. She would thrive in a home experienced with bully breeds & as an only dog. She knows: sit, stay, down, come, fetch/drop, shake, kiss & learning new commands every day. She is trained to sit before eating meals or taking treats and is housebroken. At 74 lbs, she needs a strong leader/capable handler on walks. She is responding well to training that would be best continued in her new home. She is spayed, microchipped, & up to date on all vaccines/vet care. She was purchased as a puppy from a breeder by her first owner; he has moved to a place where dogs are not allowed, so I am currently fostering her until her forever home is found (I am unable to keep her permanently).

Story
Meet Maxwell, a charming in need of rescue. His journey with us began when he was surrendered by his previous owner, through no fault of his own. Maxwell boasts a delightful history of coexisting harmoniously with both children and dogs of all sizes. However, we recommend a child-free environment due to his tendency to be a tad jumpy and nervous, especially when encountering new people. Maxwell's previous family described him as a big, goofy, and immensely playful companion. Additionally, he has proven himself to be well-trained in both housebreaking and crate use. He's capable of peacefully free-roaming when left alone, with no adverse incidents. Despite his endearing qualities, Maxwell is currently experiencing a degree of unease in the shelter environment, away from the only family he's ever known. New faces and the presence of other dogs passing by his kennel have understandably heightened his anxiety. Our dedicated behavior team has devised a plan to place him in a quieter section of the shelter, although it is apparent that the current setting is less than ideal for this sensitive fellow. During his stay with us, Maxwell has gradually opened up, revealing the same lovable, goofy personality that endeared him to his previous owners. Yet, he remains cautious when meeting new people. In our care, he has engaged in playgroups and demonstrated positive interactions with other dogs, though he tends to prefer calmer canine companions, as those with high energy levels can sometimes overwhelm him. This endearing pup is longing for a safe and loving environment where he can thrive. __________________________________________________   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Butler is a big sweet goofy boy who loves to play on his back with toys and who thinks he can be a lap dog. He loves cuddles in the morning time when he sleeps in. He doesn’t go anywhere without handfuls of compliments about how handsome and well behaved he is while out on the town. He is eager to learn and please. When home alone he lays on the floor or his bed & does not get up on furniture. Opening up the door to his happy wiggle butt will always make you smile but be warned he is a shoe thief & will pick up your shoe while he wiggles into you.   He has not shown any signs of anxiety destruction or destruction. Also is house trained & has had zero accidents in the house. Nor has he showed any signs of food aggression. He walks well on leash. When we have had the time to be off leash in fenced in area he has the fastest zoomies & loves to roll around in the grass and soak up the sun on his back. He has good potential recall. Bulter really is such a sweet boy who loves to be around his human & is happy to take naps in the sun.   Adoption fee: $525, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
