Story
Meet Athena!Athena is a stunning 5-year-old Pit Bull mix with a gorgeous brindle and white coat and a heart ready to bond with her forever family. She’s spent some time at the shelter, but even short escapes for a walk or hike show her true personality—calm, affectionate, and wonderfully responsive once she gets a little energy out. Athena is dog selective, sometimes getting along with other dogs, so she’ll do best with careful introductions, but she thrives when she has the attention and patience of her people. Walks reset her stress level, cuddles are welcomed, and with the right home, she’s sure to settle in beautifully. Smart, loving, and ready for adventure or quiet moments alike, Athena is searching for a family to call her own and shower with love.

Story
Meet Scarlett, a sweet and quiet dog with a gentle soul who would be perfect for a calm, loving household. Scarlett is a volunteer favorite thanks to her easygoing nature and wonderful leash manners — she’s a dream to walk and rarely makes a peep. She keeps her kennel clean and has done well living with other pets, making her an excellent fit for an apartment or a peaceful home. Scarlett enjoys spending her time soaking up the sunshine, her favorite way to relax. In playgroup, she does beautifully with more timid dogs, giving them space and helping them build confidence at their own pace. Scarlett’s kind heart and quiet presence make her a truly special companion who will bring warmth and serenity to any home.

Story
Boyd is a truly loving dog who offers his affection freely and gently. He is incredibly affectionate, always ready to lean in for a cuddle or happily rest his head in your lap. He simply adores being close to his people. He will wiggle his hips happily when you give him booty scratches. Boyd is a dog social boy, too. He seems to prefer females, especially Edna. Boyd`s best quality might be his calmness—he is wonderfully quiet. You won`t find him barking for attention; instead, he communicates his happiness with gentle nudges and a deep, contented sigh. Boyd is the perfect companion for anyone seeking a devoted, loving, and peaceful presence in their home.
