Meet Luca! `What a great boy!` is the first thing the volunteers said when they met this cutie! Luca is a great leash walker and likes to explore. He does get excited in new places and may tug but immediately responds to correction. Luca LOVES treats! He loves them so much that he will sit, shake, and even crawl for them! Luca accepts his treats gently once offered. He is gentle with his toys and prefers playing with stuffies. Luca does still have some puppy energy but is easily redirected when he hears a command. He is a great pup who would be a great fit in any family. Come in and meet Luca today!

Meet Scrabble! This cutie is full of goofy, fun-loving energy! Scrabble walks well on his leash, especially once he`s gotten his zoomies out of the way. He hasn`t shown much interest in treats or toys but that could be due to the change in his environment. Despite not interacting with toys, Scrabble LOVES to play! You can often see him zooming around the play yards and then stopping to roll around, only to jump back up and start running again. He is house-trained, gets along well with other dogs, and likes kids. Scrabble is an energetic and athletic dog who is best suited for an active family with a fenced yard. He is an absolutely wonderful dog! Come in and meet him today!

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Cowboy, the sweetest bulldog in the world. Cowboy is 6 years old and loves endless snuggles. We adopted Cowboy one year ago from a local shelter. We are unfamiliar with his background. He does well with others and older children. However, recently he has been trying to attack our 10 year old female dog. As most bulldog, he does require care of his ears, we have tried to do the best that we can, however, previous owners neglected ear cleanings for years. He was neutered in March of 2025 and had a nasal and throat surgery completed to help with his breathing. He loves our children, but his unpredictable behavior with our other dog has made us nervous. We are willing to keep in him with us until the perfect home comes along. We are also consulting with a trainer and rehoming may be taken off list if we can come with a plan. Rehoming fee is set to ensure he goes to a good home, but will waive for right home. Would prefer a home with no dogs, and no young kids.
