This two-year-old pit mix is as sweet and charming as his name. Muffin Man is a social butterfly who adores everyone he meets—people and pups alike.

Muffin Man loves affection and will happily lean in for pets, cuddles, and all the love you can give. When he’s not soaking up attention, he’s all about playtime! Fetching tennis balls, carrying around his favorite toys, or gleefully shredding a stuffed plush are some of his favorite hobbies. And once he’s worn out from all the fun, Muffin Man is perfectly content to stretch out, relax, and enjoy some downtime by your side. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly companion with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life, Muffin Man might just be your perfect match. Come meet him—he’s ready to make your day!

Story
Meet Sissy, a lovable 5-year-old black pit mix who's ready to bring joy and affection into your life! Initially, Sissy needed some time to adjust to new faces and experiences, but with the support of our shelter team, she's grown into a much more confident and affectionate pup. She warms up to you, even though she may act differently from her kennel, she'll shower you with kisses and love once she's out of her kennel. Energetic and curious, Sissy loves playing in water and is a delight on walks and car rides. She's well-behaved on a leash and enjoys being on the move. Sissy would do best in a home without cats or small children, where she can fully enjoy her playful nature. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will keep you active and shower you with affection, Sissy is the perfect match! Thanks to a generous sponsorship, you can adopt Sissy without any adoption fee-making it the perfect time to bring this sweet pup home.

Story
Don’t let her petite size fool you—Petal is a playful, smart, and spunky girl who packs a lot of personality into her little frame. She might act like a tough cookie in the kennel (we think she’s got a bit of a “big dog” complex!), but once she’s out and about, her sweet, silly side shines through. Petal lives for playtime. Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Tug-of-war with her beloved stuffed toys—especially a certain little porcupine. She’ll charm you by placing it gently in your hand, only to playfully yank it away at the last second with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. She’s independent, athletic, and always up for a game—unless toys are around, in which case...good luck getting her attention! She already knows how to sit and is eager to learn more, especially with the right motivation (like a fun game or treat). While she can be a bit reactive in her kennel—especially with other dogs nearby—she responds well to correction and may surprise us all with how she blossoms in a home environment. If you're looking for an active, clever, and entertaining companion who will keep you smiling, Petal might just be your perfect match. Come meet her and see why we’ve all fallen for this sneaky, sweet little tug-of-war champ.
