Story
Rocky is a sweet, lovable goofball. He is 18 months old and has a little boy's exuberant heart. He loves snuggles, but will stay off the furniture if you don't want a lap dog. He loves animals of all sizes and gets excited to meet new friends, but is easily controlled by voice. The baby learns fast! He knows basic commands and is learning to walk on a lease but isn't reactive. He is curious about feline friends but is very submissive. Rocky is house broken and kennel trained, but loves being outside with family. He loves car rides, water, playing ball, snuggling, and chewing appropriately now. He enjoys bullies and bones. He is food motivated but is not aggressive or protective. Rocky enjoys a good spa day with a bath or shower, nail trim, and polishing those pearly whites. Rocky needs an active family to adore that will love him forever.

Story
Meet Clark, a 3-1/2-year-old, 65-pound Red Nose, Brindle Pit Bull mix. Clark becomes stressed when crated, causing him to bark excessively. Despite this, he is dog-friendly and enjoys playing with toys. Clark is house trained and crate trained, keeping his crate clean. His foster mom is employing treat-based training to teach him basic commands. He has learned to “sit,” kennel up” and “come.” The command to tell a dog to come towards you during dog training is simply "come"; it's considered one of the most important basic commands for a dog's safety, as it allows you to recall them if they get loose or into a dangerous situation. Clark is a very friendly dog. He never meets a stranger. And he is making great progress in his "how to be a house dog" training.

Story
Meet Riddle: A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold Riddle is a sweet, soulful dog who deserves a second chance at a loving home. Rescued from Memphis Animal Shelter just in time, Riddle was initially misunderstood due to his scars, with shelter staff fearing he had been involved in dog fighting. But after a temperament test, it was clear that Riddle is a gentle, shy boy who prefers to keep to himself and avoid conflict. Now between 7 and 8 years old, Riddle has undergone heartworm treatment and is in good health, ready for a quiet, loving home. He’s a total sweetheart who would love nothing more than to be a lap dog. His favorite spot is the loveseat, where he sneaks a few moments of relaxation before heading to his kennel. Though shy at first when meeting new people, Riddle quickly warms up and becomes your loyal best friend. Quiet and well-behaved, Riddle spends most of his day peacefully in his kennel, only getting excited when it’s time for his meals. With his soulful eyes and gentle demeanor, he’s a dog that will melt your heart. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to share love and cuddles, Riddle is the perfect match.

Story
Meet Pauletta: A Strong and Sweet Survivor Pauletta is a striking fawn and white English Bulldog pit mix with a heart as big as her muscles. At around 6 to 7 years old and weighing about 60 lbs, Pauletta is as strong as an ox—she’s got the power of a linebacker and could easily pull a grown man off his feet! Even a pinch collar doesn’t slow her down. Despite her strength, Pauletta is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She adores massages and will happily relax by your side when given some love and attention. Pauletta’s story is one of resilience. She was confiscated as part of a cruelty case when she was just about a year old, but that hasn’t dimmed her spirit. Now, she’s ready for a forever home where she can be safe and loved. Because of her strong personality, Pauletta isn’t great with other dogs. She tends to be a bit of a bully, nudging them around as if to challenge them, so she’s best suited for a home where she can be the only pet. Due to her strength and temperament, she should be exercised in a backyard rather than on the street. If you’re looking for a strong, loving companion who has overcome adversity and is ready to be your loyal sidekick, Pauletta is your girl!
