Story
Blue the silver unicorn is an incredibly sweet and lovable 2-year-old with an unfortunate start in life. Blue came to us in October 2022, severely neglected and emaciated. He is now up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped, and ready to find his forever home or foster. Blue is a trainable and intelligent pup who loves to be rewarded with treats, which makes him a great candidate for leash and basic training. Blue is a loving companion who thrives in a one-pet household and enjoys having your undivided attention. Blue is more of a couch potato than an athlete, although he does love going for walks with his favorite humans. In the home, he has a chill personality and loves listening to audio books and soft music, especially if they`re playing while he lounges on his blankets misted with lavender scent.This handsome boy has a soft coat of fur and is always happy to wear a bandana, especially if it means getting a treat dipped in some peanut butter. Blue is house and crate trained, takes treats nicely from your hand, and loves baths. Blue is a playful boy and loves to run around in the backyard. Loves grass.We know Blue will bring so much joy to the right family, and we are actively seeking an emergency foster for him until his forever home can be found. We would love to see Blue happy and showered with love and kindness, and we hope you`ll consider opening your heart to this sweet silver unicorn

Maui is a very loving 1 1/2 year old pitbull/bulldog/frenchie mix. She'll be 2 in October. She LOVES kids and loves to be outside. Lots of energy and very friendly. She's a jumper, but only because she loves you immediately and is extremely excited to see you :) My lifestyle no longer fits what's needed for her, and she'll be much happier with a family, or on a farm or with someone who has a big yard where she can run around all day as she pleases. Maui's adoption comes with crate, food bowl, and some dry dog food to get you started.

Story
Waiting over 500 days Meet Gabby, the unique and charming bully mix who's been patiently waiting for her forever home. Gabby is a fascinating blend of 72% American Pit Bull Terrier, 15% German Shepherd, and 13% Boxer - talk about a winning combination! From her Pitty side, Gabby inherited a bit of stubbornness, which makes her like a curious toddler, always testing boundaries. But don't worry, her Boxer playfulness and German Shepherd smarts make her an incredible and fascinating companion! Gabby absolutely adores water! She loves to swim, and having a pool to splash around in would be a dream come true for her. Gabby's journey hasn't been easy; she's been in multiple shelters for over 500 days combined. But we know she just needs the right person to bring out the best in her. To thrive, Gabby requires consistency, and she's been doing great in foster homes. She's seeking an alpha owner who can provide structure and guidance, or even give her a job to do. With the right leader, she'll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Gabby had the privilege of working closely and undergoing board and train with Chris at Walk n Roll K9. She lived harmoniously with other dogs and even a cat, proving she has the potential to be a wonderful family member. While Gabby is a true delight, we're seeking an adult-only home for her. No kids, as she thrives best in a calm and predictable environment. Are you the special person who can give Gabby the loving and structured home she needs? She's fun, loving, and always ready for any adventure that comes her way. Gabby will keep you on your toes and fill your life with joy and excitement. Help us get this long-time resident out of the shelter and into a loving forever home.

Story
Action! Adventure! Comedy! Fun! This pint-sized pittie girl is the complete package! Her favorite activity is tug and her favorite toy is a tennis ball or 3 that she likes to carry all at the same time in her mouth! She lives to play with her toys! But China is also looking for a person to give her all to, to connect with, and to love. She's as smart as a whip, kid friendly and loves to go for car rides. While she is tolerant of other dogs, they don't hold a candle to a human's attention! We think she would prefer to live as an only dog. Unfortunately her first few years of life were not very kind. She lived chained to a tree and was starved. This made her a little hesitant to trust other dogs and people, so she can be a little shy at first and sometimes reactive of other dogs when on leash. But once you get to know her, she's full-throttle fun and also a superb snuggler. She knows sit, down, touch, and high-five! She loves water, whether it's a kiddie pool or a river and somehow always finds the mud! If you're looking for some excitement and a dog who will make you laugh, look no further than China!

Stump AKA Stumpy, is our people and dog social Bulldog mix! He loves belly rubs and going out on field trips to meet new people. If you are looking to be smothered with love, Stump is the dog for you!07/24/23 10:17 took Stump to State Street Walk Adoption/Promo day yesterday. Yes, he pulls on the leash...a lot. I forgot that when I use slip lead with one leg through he does much better. Think I will try that for regular walks along with a standard clip lead to see if that helps. Was good in the car once he settled down.
