He’s super friendly with people and happy to soak up affection from anyone willing to give it.While he adores humans, Greedo hasn’t been his best self around other dogs, so he’d thrive as the one and only pup in the home—your loyal sidekick, your snuggle buddy, your peaceful little shadow.We truly can’t rave enough about how easygoing, sweet, and lovable this guy is.If you’re ready for the ultimate chill companion, Greedo is ready to meet you!

Story
Meet Deebo: The Affectionate Gentle GiantAt 8 years old, Deebo may technically be a “senior,” but don’t tell him that—he’s got plenty of pep in his step and is absolutely ready for new adventures (and new people to charm). This sweet, affectionate gentleman came to the shelter when his family could no longer care for him, and he’s been winning hearts here ever since.Deebo has lived with kids, another dog, and even a cat—he’s basically the friendly neighbor everyone loves. He soaks up attention from anyone who offers it, cooperates wonderfully at the vet, and has quickly become a staff favorite.He’s fully housebroken, though like any dog adjusting to a new home, he’ll need a consistent potty routine as he settles in.Special Care Note: Deebo needs a little extra TLC in the form of monitoring and vet care for arthritis in his back legs, plus he may benefit from a special diet to help him shed a few pounds. (He calls it “getting in adventure shape.”)Despite his age and arthritis, Deebo still has lots of energy for playing, exploring, and trotting happily by your side.Come meet Deebo today—your new best buddy is waiting!

Story
Meet Dora: The Shy Sweetheart Ready to ShineDora may be a little shy now, but beneath her timid exterior is a playful, loving girl just waiting for the right home to help her blossom. She came to the shelter when her family became overwhelmed with too many pets, and like many of our Special Care dogs, she’ll need a bit of extra love and patience to thrive.Currently, Dora takes behavior medication to help manage her stress and fear of new environments. The shelter can be overwhelming for a sensitive young girl, but she’s shown her gentle heart—crawling into laps for comfort and slowly learning to trust.Her most recent foster experience proved just how amazing she can be: playful, affectionate, and eager to enjoy life in a calm, loving home. With time, space, and a quiet environment, Dora is ready to show her true personality—one full of love, curiosity, and cuddles.Do you have a patient heart and a peaceful home? Dora is waiting to meet you and start her next chapter!

Story
Zuri is a 65-lb, 3.5 year-old Boxer Pitbull mix with the perfect balance of energy and calm. She loves walks, fetch, beach days, and even rolling in the snow... then happily curls up for cuddles once she has had her exercise. She adores kids (best with older ones since she is a bit clumsy) and is gentle, loyal, and affectionate. She does great with small dogs but, after past trauma with larger ones, she is more comfortable in a home without big dogs. She has been raised in the city; used to crowds, sirens, and construction, and makes the best market buddy though fireworks and loud pops scare her. She also has spent her vacations in mountains, with open fields. Above all, Zuri is a world-class snuggler who bonds instantly and loves nothing more than being close to her people.
