Story

Meet Luna, an adult canine companion who has a heart full of boundless energy. She is learning to balance her want for independence and her need to bark at you for attention. She`s a dog who thrives on activity, whether it`s a brisk walk around the block or a playful game of fetch. This spirited, independent girl is looking for a forever home where her energy and love for life can be fully appreciated. She is looking for an all adult home who can respect her space-- she can be a bit uncomfortable if you invade her headspace too quickly. Adopting Luna would give her the opportunity to be understood, love for who she is, and encouraged to be the best dog she can be. She has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

Story

Meet Duke – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for a Fresh Start Duke is a 5-year-old, 64-pound American Staffordshire mix who’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Since being found in a park in October 2023, Duke has come a long way—he’s affectionate, smart, and full of personality. He loves cuddles, sunbathing, chasing birds, and chewing on toys or cardboard boxes. He’s also a foodie, with favorites like watermelon, apple, bell pepper, and the occasional french fry.He knows many commands (sit, down, heel, stay, speak, and more) and graduated from a board & train program where he learned great leash manners and impulse control.Duke does have some medical and behavioral needs. He has allergies (both food and environmental), a repaired leg (TPLO surgery in 2024), and a congenital soft palate defect. He’s reactive to motorcycles and has shown occasional redirected aggression, so he walks with a muzzle for safety. He needs an experienced, adult-only home that can provide structure and ongoing training.Despite his challenges, Duke is incredibly loving, goofy, and loyal. He bonds deeply with his people and will thrive in the right home—one that understands him and is ready to give him a second chance.If you’re experienced with reactive dogs and looking for a sweet, quirky companion, Duke may be the one for you.April 17, 2025, 10:18 pm
