Story
Buddy is a spirited, loyal 70-pound pit mix who has been patiently waiting for his forever family since September 2021. His journey has been full of near-misses. Buddy was first found as a stray, and while the good Samaritan who found him hoped to keep him, Buddy didn't get along with the resident dog, so he was brought to the shelter. Not long after, Buddy's original family recognized him from a shelter post. They even shared a sweet video of Buddy in their yard, happily popping bubbles with a young child, but despite this connection, they didn't come to bring him home. Since then, Buddy has remained hopeful, eager to find a family who sees him for the loyal and loving companion he is.In his time with us, Buddy has made huge strides in his training, graduating from the Puppies for Parole program. There, he worked on house training, crate training, basic commands, and leash skills. He also became muzzle-conditioned, which helped him gain confidence around other dogs in a controlled environment. Buddy has a playful and energetic personality, making him an ideal match for an active household. He loves tug-of-war, outdoor adventures, and would thrive in a family that enjoys walks, hikes, or even jogs. When heading out on a leash, Buddy might pull at first, but he quickly settles into a relaxed, loose-leash pace. In his kennel, he shows his tidy side by keeping his space clean, hinting at a natural habit for order and structure that could make him an easy fit for home life. As a dog who enjoys being the center of attention, Buddy would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can fully bond with his new family and shower them with loyalty and affection.Buddy's ideal family will appreciate his enthusiasm and enjoy staying active alongside him. A family that can continue his training, provide structure, and embrace his fun-loving spirit would be the perfect fit. This resilient "Forget-Me-Not" dog has been waiting for far too long, but he hasn't given up on finding his family. If you're looking for an adventure partner with a big heart and boundless love, Buddy is waiting to meet you. His adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor.

Story
Charity was abandoned in the parking lot at Dogwood Shelter when she was very pregnant. After about a week here, she had her puppies, 11 of them! Most of them have been adopted, but she is still here. Her favorite pastime is going for walks! While she does have a bit of a pulling habit, we're working on it together. With a little guidance, she is learning to walk more calmly on the leash, and I can see her progress each day.When it's playtime, Charity absolutely loves her frisbee!! Watching her leap and bound in the play yard is a pleasure; she's so enthusiastic and playful. It's clear that she's got a playful spirit and a zest for life. After some play, she's always ready for much-loved belly rubs.Charity does have a strong personality, which means she needs to be the only dog in her forever home. She tends to come on a bit strong with other dogs, but with the right family, she will flourish. Her loyalty and affection are boundless. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 62.2 Age: 4yrs 4mths 1wks
