Story
Olive was a shelter rescue adopted 9 years ago. She will be 10yrs old in September. She’s playful, cuddly, sweet, and so goofy. She's an indoor pup and cuddly couch potato most of the time, but needs sunshine, play and walks every day. She has big energy but what she wants is a relatively quiet house with little change. She is great with older kids but needs to be the only baby and the only pet. She likes lots of friendly people, bbqs, etc. She has learned to “go get a toy!” when she’s excited, so when you come home she will probably howl with joy and trot laps around you with one of her favorite toys in her mouth. Olive has an Rx diet and monthly arthritis injections. She’s done basic obedience classes but is dog-reactive. Needs to be placed in a loving home with no pets and no babies ASAP (aggressive with toddler in the home). Please reach out for more info. ❤️

Story
Don’t let the “8 years old” on paper fool you—Bud didn’t get the memo. This handsome pittie is still out there running with the youngsters, keeping up in playgroups, and showing everyone how it’s done. He may have a few bumps and lumps that come with age, but his spirit? Pure puppy energy.Bud is the perfect mix of seasoned soul and playful spark. He’s traded in the chaos of puppyhood for confidence and charm, but kept all the fun parts—zoomies, social time, and a love for being part of the action.If you’re looking for a dog who can join you on walks, hang out in the yard, and still bring a little pep to your day, Bud is your guy.He’s not looking for a rocking chair retirement—he’s ready for an active one, full of adventures, companionship, and maybe a cozy couch to land on after a day well spent.Bud has lived, loved, and learned—and now he’s ready to be someone’s whole world.This cutie has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out his playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Story
Posse has been on an incredible journey of growth since she arrived at the shelter almost 4 weeks ago. She came in as a stray—dirty, emaciated, losing fur and completely shut down. She has come so far out of her shell since then, thanks to work by staff and volunteers alike, including leash manners, socialization skills and medicated baths.She is a different dog than the one we met at the beginning of the month and yet she still has a ways to go. Her anxiety is quite high and it’s visible on walks, when she spends most of it darting this way and that, seemingly looking for an escape. She is still seeking that single human to show her the way. And she’s likely going to make more progress, if she has a dog friend helping her do it. Her current kennel mate, Casper, has been a great lifeline for her and that is not uncommon for shelter dogs. That said, slow introductions are always recommended! A few days of decompression by herself would go a long way for her. A stressed-out dog is not going to be at their best and they might voice negative opinions about scenarios that they end up tolerating or even enjoying.A good home for her would provide stability, shelter and incremental progress. She will do best when she’s allowed to go at her pace. She will do best when she’s not forced into something. She is a young girl with so much ahead of her. I just hope that someone gives her the chance to shine! She’s a great candidate to foster, so that staff can continue to gather notes on how she will be in a home, but she is also available for adoption. https://youtube.com/shorts/wUhaJd1ZZ4k?si=3THrP-wkMPozn1az
