Story
🖤 Draco is ready for his forever 🖤 Draco is looking for an urgent foster or adopter! 🙏🏼 Draco isn’t only the loyal dog everybody wants, but he is determined to be your best friend for life no matter what. Dogs never seem to fail humans but yet so many are failed by owners. Draco is ready to have a furever home where he won’t be failed! Draco is a great dog who loves to snuggle on the couch with his person and give you plenty of kisses. He enjoys running outside and playing with his abundance of toys. He also enjoys a big backyard to run in when he gets the zoomies. Unfortunately many would look past him because of his coloring, but I think it makes him stand out even more. I have truly enjoyed taking care of this precious soul, he is such a joyful dog and will make someone very happy! He is hard of hearing so when you want to get his attention I either squeak a toy or I wave to him to come. This treat motivated boy will make the perfect dog for someone who is willing to give him the chance he needs.

Story
Meet Irwin ??A 58lb, 1-year-old, American Staffordshire Terrier who was found wandering alone in a park. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was terrified and nervous, taking everything in. The kennel environment felt overwhelming for him at first, and he needed a little time to feel safe.But once Irwin got out for some fresh air and one-on-one attention, his true personality began to shine. With patience and kindness, he blossomed into the sweetest boy. Away from the noise, Irwin shows just how lovely he really is — affectionate, eager for reassurance, and happy to be by your side.Irwin is a high-energy pup who loves to play and would thrive with an active family ready for adventures, games, and plenty of exercise. He seems to do well around the other dogs at the shelter, making him a great candidate for a home with a playful canine companion.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
