Story
Hi! I’m Coco and let me just tell you, I’m so happy to meet you! Seriously, are you ready to be best friends? Because I am. Like, right now. I’m a pitbull with a big ol’ heart and an even bigger wiggle when I see people. I love attention... the more, the better. You want to pet me? Yes, please. Talk to me in a silly voice? I’m all ears (and tail wags). Sit on the couch? Oh good, I was hoping you’d say that. I’ll just climb right into your lap, even if it’s already full. I’m kind of a pro at snuggles. Playtime? Oh yeah. Give me a toy and I’ll bounce around like I’m on springs. But after playtime? You know I’m curling up next to you for a nap. Bonus points if you let me rest my head on your chest.And let’s not forget treats. I love treats. Crunchy ones, chewy ones, peanut butter anything. Most of all, I just love being with my people. If you’re around, I’m happy. That’s really all I want. So yeah, I’m Coco. Lover of snuggles, playtime, snackies and your new best friend for life.

Hiya! I’m Maurice! A playful pup, zoomie king, snack enthusiast, and professional snuggler, all rolled into one happy tail-wagging package. Playtime? Oh, I’m all about it. Toss me a toy, chase me around the yard, or just get on the floor and be silly with me and I’ll light up like it’s the best day ever (because, honestly, it probably is). I get these wild bursts of energy.... you know, the zoomies... where I just have to run full speed in circles like I’ve got rocket boosters on. It’s kind of my signature move. Now, snacks? Don’t even get me started. I love snacks. Crunchy ones, chewy ones, surprise treats from your pocket. But once the zoomies are out and the snacks are gone, I’m all about the snuggles. I’ll curl right up next to you (or on top of you if you let me) and rest my head on your chest like it’s where I’ve always belonged. I love being close to my humans. It’s where I feel happiest and safest. So I`m Maurice! Zooms, snacks, cuddles, repeat. Let’s be best friends.

Story
I’m Mocha, an older girl with a gentle heart and an easygoing soul. I don’t feel the need to hurry anymore. I’ve learned that the best moments are the quiet ones. I move at my own pace, calm and relaxed, taking in the world with soft eyes and a wag that means I’m content just being here.I still know my manners, though. Ask me to sit, shake, or lie down, and I’ll happily show you what I know; especially if there’s a treat involved. I’m always willing to work for snacks; it keeps my mind busy and my tail wagging. What I love most is quality time with my humans. Sitting close, resting my head on a knee, or simply sharing the same space means everything to me. I don’t ask for much... just kindness, patience, and a little togetherness. With that, I’m perfectly happy being Mocha: sweet, steady, and full of love.

I’m not the loudest one in the room. I like to take my time. You know, sniff things out… get a feel for people. Not that I don’t like you! I just need to know you first. Trust doesn’t come easy, but once I give it to you, it’s yours forever. I’m a pit bull, yeah. I’ve heard the things people say. Big head, strong build, serious face. But behind all that? I’m a softie. A real one. I’ve got a heart like a marshmallow and I fall hard... for people, for pets, for snacks. Oh, snacks. I’ll do the sit for them! Food is the way to my heart. Toys are my obsession. Balls, squeakers, ropes, that weird plush dinosaur with only one eye left... mine. I toss `em, chase `em, chew `em, and sometimes nap with them tucked under my chin. It`s my thing. You got a toy? We’re already friends.Once I warm up to you, I love pets. Real slow at first... chin scratches are a good place to start. But give me time, and soon I’ll be leaning into your side, head in your lap, eyes closed like I’ve known you forever. So yeah, I’m not the dog that runs up tail-wagging at first sight. But if you’re patient? I’ll be your most loyal shadow. And if you bring toys and treats? Well, now you’re just speaking my love language.

Hey! I’m Axel! A big head, big heart, and even bigger zoomies. I’m a big boy!! Like, built-like-a-brick-wall big and yeah, I know I’m strong. You’ll definitely feel it when I see something exciting on leash (spoiler: everything is exciting). But I’m not trying to be strong on purpose! I’m just out here living my best life at full speed. Zoomies? Oh, buddy. I live for those. One minute I’m chillin’, the next I’m tearing through the yard like a freight train, legs flailing, ears flopping, pure joy mode activated. I might bump into a few things (including you), but it’s all in good fun. I’ve got energy to burn and no shame about it .People? Love `em. I don’t just like being social... I crave it. If there’s a human in the room, I want to say hi. I’ll lean on you, sit on your feet, maybe try to climb in your lap (don’t judge me! I forget how big I am). I just want to be close, feel connected, and soak up all the love. Oh, and food? YES. Treats, meals, crumbs on the floor!! I’m not picky. I’ll do just about anything for a snack. Sit? Sure. Stay? I’ll try real hard. Breakdance? Not officially trained, but give me a treat and I’ll throw something together. So yeah, I’m Axel. Big, bouncy, sweet, and snack-motivated. Life’s short. Let’s zoom, cuddle, and eat like kings. Sound good?

Hi there, I’m Poe. Being at the shelter made me skeptical of people, but once I get to know you I’m a sweet boy. Loud noises make me nervous and sometimes I might flinch, but with a little love from you it will go a long way. The sound of squeaky toys intrigue me and if you throw it I might chase it but I think I prefer the love of my human. Don’t be shy to come down and say hi, you could be my fur-ever home.

Hi there! I`m Diva! Yes, the name fits. I`m a dog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and an even bigger love for toys. Squeaky, bouncy, crinkly, fluffy, If it’s a toy, it’s mine. I’ll parade it around like a trophy and dare you not to be impressed.Treats? Don’t even get me started. I’ve got a sixth sense for snack bags opening. One crunch and I’ll be right there, sitting like an angel. I’ve definitely mastered the “I’ve never eaten in my life” look. It works every time. But honestly, the best part of my day? Playtime with my humans. Tug-of-war, fetch, chase.. I’m always ready. And when the games are done and you finally sit down, that’s when I really shine. I’ll nuzzle into your side, maybe flop right into your lap if you let me, because I live for affection. Belly rubs, ear scratches, even just hearing your voice makes my tail go wild. Basically, if you’re looking for a four-legged shadow who loves hard, plays harder, and wants all your attention, I’m your girl. I’m Diva! I was born to be adored.

Story
I’m Zeus, a senior boxer with a frosted muzzle and a perfectly earned sense of calm. I don’t rush anymore. Life tastes better at a slower pace. Short walks are my specialty. Just enough time to sniff the important spots, feel the ground under my paws, and remind the neighborhood that I still exist. Then it’s back home. Mission accomplished. Sunbathing is one of my true talents. Find me stretched out where the light pours in, eyes half closed, soaking up warmth like it’s my job. Treats, though... that’s serious business. I may be older, but my ears still work perfectly when a bag crinkles. I accept snacks with dignity and enthusiasm, preferably more than one, and I believe they are an essential part of daily happiness. Mostly, I like to chill. Soft beds, familiar sounds, my people nearby. I nap, I dream, I wake up, and I nap again. I’ve done enough proving in my life. Now I’m Zeus the relaxed, Zeus the content, and honestly, I think I’ve earned it.
