Story
Hi there, I’m Angie! I recently went on a fun adventure with a volunteer, and I had the best time exploring the city. We walked all around Atlantic Station and the neighborhood nearby, and I was so happy just soaking in the sights and sounds. I stayed calm and curious, not even flinching at traffic—and I was super easy on the leash the whole time. I started my journey at AHS back when I was a puppy, and I somehow ended up back here in my senior years.I love meeting new people, and I got to greet both adults and kids on our walk. I was soft and wiggly, wagging my tail and gently taking treats from friendly hands. Whether it`s a grown-up or a little one, I’ll happily approach for some love and pets, all while keeping my leash manners in check.I didn’t meet any other dogs or cats on this trip, but when I saw some pups in the distance, I stayed cool and happy, still my sweet, wiggly self. And yes—I always take care of my potty business outside like a good girl!At 9 years old, I still have a nice spring in my step. I’d say I’m medium energy—I enjoy walks (or even a short run!) and then I’m content to relax by your side. I’ve even been told I seem younger than my age!If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and well-mannered companion for city strolls or just cozy company, I might be your girl. I can’t wait to find my forever home—could that be with you?

Story
Hi, I’m Stix! I’m a good mix of energetic and chill. I love to play fetch (I’m a pro at it, by the way) and I can’t get enough of cuddling up with my humans. I’ll bring the ball back to you with the biggest smile, and I’m always ready for another round. When playtime is over, though, I’m totally happy to curl up on the couch and snooze away the rest of the day. I would really like to be the center of your attention and the only pet in the home, please!I get really excited to meet new people, and I’m always thrilled when my humans come home. I’ve got a smile that’s guaranteed to brighten your day, and I’m super friendly with everyone I meet. I’m not a fan of being left alone for too long, but don’t worry—I’m not destructive. I just like to have some company around!I’m not a big fan of long walks, though. A short break outside to stretch my legs is all I need before I’m ready to head back home. I’m really easygoing and low-maintenance, so I’m great for homes that are either high-energy or more laid-back. I think I’d do best as the only dog in the household, as I’m not sure about my history with small children, but I’m adaptable and can fit in with a variety of families. If you’re looking for a dog who’s fun, loving, and easy to take care of, I’m your guy!

Story
Hi, I`m Cali! I might be a little shy when we first meet, but if you give me some time and kindness, I promise I`ll show you just how sweet and loving I can be. Once I feel safe, I`m all about cuddles and leaning in close for pets. I walk really nicely on a leash and enjoy peaceful strolls where I can take my time. I also get along well with other dogs and might do best with a calm canine friend to help boost my confidence. I`m looking for a patient, gentle person who`ll help me feel secure-and in return, I`ll give you all the love I`ve been saving up.

Story
Hi, I’m Ms. Athena! I recently had a super fun adventure outside the shelter, and wow—it was the best day ever! I went for a walk in the park with one of my favorite humans. I always did my business outside like a good girl, and I had a blast exploring all the sights and smells.When we met new people, I was so excited—I might’ve gotten a little carried away with my greetings (ok, I pulled a bit on the leash and barked a couple times), but I’m just really happy to meet new friends! My human helped me calm down by giving me treats and asking me to sit, and guess what? I totally got the hang of it! I even started sitting calmly as new people approached. I`m a smart cookie and very treat-motivated.Even though I have lots of energy in the shelter, once we got to the park, all I wanted to do was snuggle up. I’m actually a closet cuddle bug—who knew? I plopped myself in my human’s lap and just soaked up all the love. By the end of the day, I didn’t want to leave their side. I even hugged them for 15 minutes when we got back—I might be a Velcro dog in the making.With my cool camouflage coat and my mismatched eyes (one blue, one brown!), I look like a woodland ninja. If you took me hiking or even hunting, I’d blend right in—except for that little blue eye peeking out!If you`re looking for a pup with playful energy, a huge heart, and a strong snuggle game, I might just be your girl.Love,Ms. Athena

Story
Hey there, I`m Bailey, a sweet and gentle pup with a heart of gold and a shy disposition. While I may take a little time to warm up to new people and pets, once you get to know me, you`ll discover just how loving and loyal I can be. I love butt scratches and trying to sit on your lap! I`m what you might call a perfect mix of energy levels—I enjoy playful romps in the yard just as much as I love cozying up on the sofa for a snuggle session. I also do this super funny thing where I actually spin in circles when I get excited! My zoomies are just hysterical, and the shelter staff says I always make them laugh - how sweet. When it comes to meeting new people, I can be a bit timid at first, but with a little patience and understanding, I`ll soon come out of my shell and show you my true colors - which is love!As for my perfect family, I`d thrive in a quiet environment as I can get easily scared. And most importantly, I need someone patient who can take the time to help me adjust to my new surroundings and build trust at my own pace. With the right family by my side, I know I`ll blossom into the loving and loyal companion I was meant to be. I love exploring the shelter and meeting doggie friends - if you have another dog - let`s meet!I qualify for Foster First, which means you can foster me for 14 days prior to adoption to ensure I`m the perfect fit for your family!

Story
Hi, I’m Prince Eric, but you can just call me Eric! I recently went on a weekend slumber party with a very nice family. It was a cozy time full of fun and relaxation, and I got to enjoy some great activities. I spent plenty of time hanging out at home, playing around and enjoying quiet naps when I wasn’t out for a walk in the park. One of my favorite moments was enjoying a Puppachino—it’s the simple things, right?While on this adventure, I met some new people, and I have to say, I’m a bit of a softie. I was wiggly with excitement, tail wagging, and I made sure to show off my gentle leash manners. I even met a couple of kids, and I was just as soft and wiggly with them, making sure to approach them for some pets. I love being around people, and I’m always ready for a new friend to pet me!I didn’t get to meet any cats or other dogs during this trip, but I’m still friendly and curious about other animals. I think I’d do just fine in those situations, especially if I meet them on a leash. As for potty habits, I always made sure to go outside like a good boy.In terms of exercise, I’ve got medium energy. I’d love a nice run or multiple walks a day, but I also appreciate a good nap and some quiet time. I’m housebroken, well-mannered, and know a number of commands. Crate training? No problem. I’ll even nap in my crate if the door’s open. And when it comes to car rides, I’m a pro. All in all, I’m a friendly, gentle soul who enjoys being active, but also loves to curl up and relax. If you’re looking for a well-behaved, loving companion, I might just be your perfect match!
