Story
ABOUT TRAVIS Looking for a playful pup with a softer, more sensitive side? Meet Travis! This sweet 8-month-old boy has plenty of puppy energy, along with a gentle, slightly shy personality that makes him extra endearing. He often looks to his people for reassurance as he builds confidence. While new experiences can make him a little timid at first, Travis is very people-oriented and forms strong bonds with those he trusts. With patience, encouragement, and a loving home to help him feel safe, he’s sure to grow into a more confident, playful companion who will stay by your side every step of the way! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions!

This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

Story
ABOUT ANGEL MELODY Meet our sweet little angel, Angel Melody! When one of our shelter partners in Maryland brought Angel into us for her spay surgery, our team instantly fell in love. They shared with us that Angel had not received any interest at their high-intake shelter, so we decided to keep her with us! Angel is playful, affectionate, and always ready to brighten someone’s day. Equal parts beauty and goofball Angel is a playful, athletic sweetheart with a big personality and even bigger heart. She loves being around people, exploring, and showing off her goofy side. If you’re looking for an active best friend with lots of love to give, Angel Melody is your girl!

Story
ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED BY DEDICATED SUPPORTER   Meet Tobias: 70 pounds of pure enthusiasm  Tobias is a 2-year-old big-headed goofball whose brain is mostly made of static, snacks, and love. He may not be winning any academic awards, but what he lacks in brain cells he more than makes up for in affection, wiggles, and wholehearted devotion to his people. This big dumb-dumb is looking for an energetic family who can keep up with his zest for life and doesn’t mind a little chaos mixed with a lot of laughs. Tobias would do best with older kids who can handle his size and enthusiasm—because at 70 pounds, his love sometimes comes at full speed.June 11, 2026, 11:45 am

Story
Meet Magnus Magnus is a mixed breed pup weighing about 30 pounds and still growing into those puppy paws. This sweet girl can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give her a little time and patience and you’ll quickly see her true personality shine. Once she feels comfortable, Magnus is a loyal little shadow who just wants to be by your side. She does great with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine friend to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. With a loving home and a bit of encouragement, Magnus is sure to grow into the most devoted best friend you could ask for. June 11, 2026, 11:45 am
