Meet Candy! This gorgeous girl is just as sweet as her name and would love a family to shower with kisses and cuddles! Candy is a great leash walker and is attentive to directions if she does give the occasional tug. She is a very smart pup! She will show you how she can 'sit', and 'lay down' before being offered a treat. Candy will take treats gently but can also catch them as they fly through the air! She enjoys toys but rather be getting cuddles and pets from her human. Candy has become a Snout and About favorite! All of her chaperones have described her as friendly, curious, cuddly, and great with people! Candy is ready for a new start in an active home, come in and meet her today!

Story
We can all agree that sometimes you just need a passenger who is willing to split a doughnut...or two. Dunkin is ready to be your doughnut date! He is slowly, but surely, coming out of his shell more and more each day. Dunkin came to our shelter as stray and was found running around a busy road. Although we do not know much of Dunkin's past, we do know he is 10000% a good boy. Dunkin is in need of a home that will treat him like the sweet boy he is. Once he has warmed up and gotten himself comfortable, he will be your velcro dog all day long.Don't let his shy demeanor fool you, when Dunkin gets excited he gets the ZOOMIES! He loves toys and loves treats, all the good stuff a dog could ever want. He does show interest in other dogs through our play yards and engages in a play bow behavior.Come in and meet your next doughnut date! You just might fall in love with him as much as we have.Due to Dunkin not being fully confident in himself, we believe he would do best in a home with kids over 10.

Meet Bluey! This pup is all wiggles and cuddles! Bluey is energetic and loves a good, long walk and a lot of play time. He is good on leash and easy to redirect if he gets distracted. Bluey is a treat connoisseur and will happily 'sit' for them and take them gently or catch them mid-air if you toss them. He is also a tug-of-war enthusiast and will play for as long as you let him. He is a squeaky toy lover and he loves a good belly rub!!! Bluey is also house trained as he takes care of business as soon as we get him outside!!!! Bluey would love a home with endless amounts of love and attention that he will gleefully reciprocate!

Story
Aria is a 1.5-year-old loving, high-energy, sweet, pit mix. She is crate trained and knows base commands (sit, eat, wait, etc.) and behaves very well once she's had a chance to play to release energy, so I'd definitely recommend a large yard. Her high energy levels can make her hard to manage so she needs an experienced owner who is prepared to give her time and attention. She plays well with young children and other animals, as long as she is supervised, to help make sure she doesn't get too excited or forget her size. I have been her only owner and had her since she was about 6 weeks, she is spayed and hasn't had any health concerns or incidents of aggression or biting. She has a very stern bark and gives good notice of anyone approaching the property. We are looking to give her to a long-term owner in preparation for an upcoming move as we will no longer be able to house her.

Hi everyone, my name is Chewie and as you can see, I am a total snuggle bug. I am in foster where they report that I am perfectly potty trained, do well with the resident cat, and learning how to be a proper gentleman from the resident female dog. I was so nervous and shut down at the shelter but I`m really letting my true colors show more and more now that I`m decompressing. I am described as affectionate, couch potato, and a lapdog. My foster says `I can`t get over how much love Chewie has to give! He is the most affectionate dog I`ve ever met.`Want to know more about me? Come visit the shelter during adoption hours to set up a play date at the shelter with me!

`Hey there, I`m Bolt! I`m not your average shelter dog. I was once a wizard`s companion, bouncing around in a world of spells and enchantments. One day, I accidentally knocked over a potion, and poof! I ended up here. I miss my magical days, but I`ve got lots of energy and love to share. I can make you laugh with my funny antics, and I`m pretty good at entertaining myself too. I`m looking for a new companion, someone who loves playtime as much as I do. Adopt me, and let`s create our own magic together!`Note from staff: Bolt may like to embellish his background a bit.*Disclaimer* This animal may have maximum number of applications or already be adopted.

Story
Please do not call/text/email about this pet. We will only consider/respond to those who have applied for this dog on our website. Finn is a COURTESY POST! He was fostered through another rescue that closed down and left his foster high and dry to take care of him and find him a home on his own. His foster reached out to us for help finding him a home that will enroll him in training for some of his behavioral tendencies that were caused by his traumatic past. FINN IS LOOKING FOR A FOSTER AND/OR ADOPTER! Please reach out to us if you are able to foster Finn! Finn is a 3 year old Boxer Mix who was given up at 8 weeks old because he chewed on baby toys. His second family abused him and fractured his spine which later got infected. He loves all kinds of toys, he loves to cuddle, play, and run around acting silly. He loves to learn and can be wonderful with other dogs if introduced properly. He takes treats gently and loves to give kisses once he is introduced properly and warmed up to a new person. He is not the most confident boy because of his past. He has some trust issues and is picky about who he will allow to see his softer side. He will need a home without kids and only with other dogs if they have no behavioral issues. Finn needs a strong willed owner who will give him the time he needs to settle into a new home and the boundaries and structure necessary to keep him feeling secure. Although he comes with some issues, his foster mom has seen that he is loyal, loving, sweet and extremely smart. Give Finn a chance and some training! He is fixed and up-to-date on all shots.
