Story
Hello there, I'm Azora, a spirited 3-year-old Pit Mix with a heart full of love and a zest for life! I'm ready to bring a whole lot of joy and companionship into your life. I've got energy to spare and a playful spirit that's infectious! Whether it's a game of fetch, a run in the park, or some exciting outdoor activities, count me in. I'm ready to be your active partner, joining you on adventures and keeping the good times rolling. My walker described me as a very friendly and sweet girl, and I wear that title proudly! I'm a people-lover through and through, and I can't wait to be your loyal and affectionate companion. My charming smile and expressive ears are just a glimpse of the warmth I'll bring into your life. I'll be honest - I can get a bit reactive around other dogs, so it's important to introduce me to new furry friends with care. My walker noted that I might do better with some space from other dogs. A bit of patience and gradual socialization might be the key to helping me feel more comfortable around my four-legged counterparts. I am heartworm positive but the treatment for that if provided by the shelter once I'm adopted. You just have to make sure you have time to bring me in for two sperate treatments. The adoption staff can go over that with you in more detail. I'm looking for a loving and patient home where my energy and affection will be cherished. While I might need some extra guidance when it comes to interacting with other dogs, I promise to shower you with love and companionship. If you're willing to work with me, I'll be a loyal and devoted friend for life.

Story
Hey there, I'm Chipper, and I'm eager to tell you a bit about myself. My walker has described me as having high energy, which means I'm always ready for an adventure! I may not be the easiest to walk - I tend to zig-zag a bit - but that's just because I'm so curious and love to explore. And while I may be vocal around other dogs, it's hard to tell if it's just my playful nature or something else. When it comes to people, though, I'm as sweet as can be. I absolutely love hugs and can't get enough of them! Treats are another favorite of mine, and I'll take them oh-so-gently from your hand. I've already mastered sitting, and I'm quickly learning new tricks like "down." One thing I really enjoy is car rides - there's just something about the wind in my fur and the sights whizzing by that I find exhilarating. And speaking of new experiences, I recently had the opportunity to visit the U of E campus, where I made some new human friends. Now, I'll admit, I may have a few quirks when it comes to other dogs. While I didn't seem to like them up close, I did fine from a distance. And I didn't quite hit it off with Kane, but I got along just fine with Champ. Overall, I'm just a lovable pup looking for a family who can appreciate my playful spirit and help me continue to learn and grow. If you're ready to welcome a sweet and spirited companion into your life, then look no further - I'm Chipper, and I can't wait to become your loyal friend and faithful companion. Let's make some memories together - I promise, you won't regret it!

Story
Hello there, I'm Stanley, a sweet and playful boy eager to find my forever home where I can share my love and zest for life with my new family. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. First things first, I'm quite the pro when it comes to walking on a leash. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an exciting adventure in the park, I'm always up for a walk. Now, I must admit, motion tends to excite me, especially when I see bicycles whizzing by, but you won't catch me barking - I'm as quiet as can be. Oh, and let's not forget about my love for rolling in the grass - there's just something so satisfying about it! When it comes to car rides, I'm a pro at those too! I ride well in the car and love nothing more than sticking my head out the window and feeling the wind in my fur. And speaking of love, I'm a big fan of affection. Once I'm comfortable, I'll flop over and ask for belly rubs with all the charm I can muster. Now, I must confess, I can be a bit reactive to other animals I see, and I tend to play a little rough and be a bit mouthy at times. But with a little training and guidance, I'm sure I'll be the perfect gentleman in no time. Oh, and one more thing - I have a tendency to mark a lot while outdoors, so a little patience and understanding in that department would be greatly appreciated. In my previous home, I lived alongside children and was described as a very loving boy. I have a fondness for rope toys, tennis balls, and squeaky toys, and I absolutely adore car rides. When it comes to potty time, I'll even stand by the door to let you know when I need to go. Despite my separation anxiety, which could be helped with medication when left alone, I promise to shower you with love and affection every moment that we're together. So, what do you say? Are you ready to welcome me, Stanley, into your heart and home? I can't wait to become your loyal companion and faithful friend.

Story
Hi! I'm Chanel (pronounced like the perfume). Please don't let my kennel behavior scare you. I'm really very sweet. For example, I was in the lobby recently greeting visitors, and a very nice lady told me that I looked like the happiest girl ever. I am friendly to people and other dogs that I meet. I'm also good on a leash. I'm better in places that don't have a lot of squirrels, birds, geese, or other critters like that because I get excited and distracted, and REALLY want to chase them. With that being said, I do like trail hiking in the woods and a Starbucks Pup Cup on the way home is the best. I'm very energetic and I'm always up for a walk or game of fetch. And I really do play fetch! I will bring a ball or toy right back to you and place it ever so gently in your hand. I'm smart and know how to follow commands like sit, and I've even been working on learning to shake paws - I'm getting pretty good at it, if I do say so myself! Plus, I have a special talent for catching treats in my mouth - it's always a fun little game. Car rides are a bit of a pickle for me. I want to go places and I hop right into the back seat and sit or lay well, but I do get a little anxious at times. I recently visited my buddy's home and I was very well behaved. No potty accidents and I was respectful of her stuff. I was so happy, I did some zoomies! She said I can visit her any time, and she thinks I'd be a wonderful addition to any family. Overall, I'm just a sweet and affectionate girl looking for a home where I can thrive. If you're ready to welcome a loving and energetic companion into your life, then look no further. I can't wait to become your loyal friend and faithful companion. Let's make some memories together - I promise you won't regret it!

Hey there, awesome folks! The name's Porter, and I'm here to bring some excitement and love into your life. Let me tell you a bit about myself and why I'm the perfect furry friend for you! First things first, I'm a lively Boxer Pit mix, just a sprightly 8 months old, bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. Yep, you read that right-I'm all about living life to the fullest and having a blast with my favorite humans! Now, about my previous home-well, my last owner surrendered me due to health reasons, but hey, it's all good! It just means I'm on the lookout for a new family who's ready to embrace my playful spirit and shower me with love and cuddles. Here's the scoop-I'm a real social butterfly, especially when it comes to other dogs. Whether it's romping around in playgroups or simply enjoying the company of furry pals, I thrive on companionship. Oh, and speaking of companionship, I've even lived with cats before! Yep, I'm a versatile guy who gets along with everyone. When it comes to children they can be a little outside my comfort zone. My last home had grandchildren that I got on well with, but I didn't do so well with a child who was visiting. I would need to meet any little ones in the home before going to live with them. A calm and slow introduction should help me warm up to them. When it comes to walks, I've got a medium amount of energy, and I'll admit, I might pull a bit at first out of sheer excitement. But hey, once I settle into the groove, I'm a breeze to walk and will happily trot alongside you, taking in all the sights and smells. And with a little bit of training I can get over that eager pulling behavior. And guess what? I'm a quick learner! Yep, I can sit like a champ, and with a little positive reinforcement and some tasty treats, I'm sure I can master even more commands to impress you. Oh, and did I mention I'm a total sweetheart? Yep, I love nothing more than giving kisses and snuggling up with my favorite humans and furry friends. So, what do you say? Ready to welcome a bundle of love and joy into your home? I promise to fill your days with laughter, love, and plenty of tail wags. Let's make some unforgettable memories together!
