Story
Meet Ever, the sweet and loving four-year-old Pitty mix whose heart is as big as his smile. While he may need multiple visits for a slow introduction to new faces, once Ever feels safe, he becomes the epitome of a cuddly and fun-loving companion. Whether he's snuggled up on the couch or splashing around in a kiddy pool outdoors, Ever's tail wags uncontrollably around his favorite people, radiating happiness and affection. Despite his initial shyness, Ever gets along famously with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for furry friends with patient introductions. He's not just charming; Ever is also quite the smarty-paws, knowing commands like sit, lay, wave, shake, and even roll over! Plus, he's crate trained, adding an extra layer of convenience to his already impressive repertoire. However, due to his initial timidness, Ever would thrive best in a home without children. With his gentle nature and ability to coexist with other animals, Ever is ready to bring warmth and companionship to his forever family. Come meet Ever today at the APL and discover the endless love he has to offer.

Story
This is Hazel and we are needing to find a new home for her. She is 3 yo, spaded, and 29 lbs at last vet visit. She has no health issues. We need to rehome her because we welcomed a daughter in March. She is too high energy and although she is very sweet around the baby, we are concerned an accident may happen. Hazel is, as mentioned, highly energetic, loves to run and play fetch. She's also affectionate, loves attention and cuddles. She has learned basic commands such as sit and no. She does have a loud, piercing bark, but she does not bark at every little thing. She is shy but will warm up. She can be territorial around food. We've had her since she was a puppy and it will be sad to see her go. Our only hope for her is to find a good, loving home.
