Story
Winston is a 2 year old male grey and white staffordshire I’m Winston. I’m pretty chill after I run around a few minutes. I love to play ball. I’m a beautiful boy and my coat shimmers like a grizzly bears. I sit and I’m treat motivated. I like hanging out with you and take notes of everything you do. My teeth are pearly white and I’ve been told I’m too pretty to be a boy. ##2499011##

Story
Jack Sparrow is a strong, confident, and energetic dog who thrives with patient, experienced handlers. While he shows high stress and reactivity in the kennel, he is fully tolerant of handling once outside the kennel and enjoys attention from his volunteer friends. On leash, he walks well, wags his tail, and is able to focus when given space from other dogs. Jack is highly responsive to structure and benefits from thoughtful distance management around other dogs. He would do best as the only dog in the household with an adopter who understands dog reactivity, has experience with strong, energetic dogs, and can provide consistent guidance, training, and enrichment. With the right home, Jack has the potential to become a loyal and engaging companion. Please consider being the one to give Jack the fresh start he deserves. Jack is 1.5 years old and 80 pounds. ##2642001##

Story
Beans This big, goofy boy was saved from euthanasia in Texas. He is currently under the care of BAMM rescue and looking for his forever home. Beans is about 5 years old, 65 pounds and is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He is neutered and has been through board and train obedience school. He is doggy door trained, house broken, walks good on leash and is crate trained. He does well with female dogs most of the time but slow introductions will be necessary. He is high energy, loves getting exercise and playing fetch. He is also very affectionate and gets extremely excited to see his people! Due to high energy and his unawareness to his size he will do best in a home with no kids under 10 years old. ##2483096##

Story
Monroe is just 1 year old… a baby who should be learning about love, play, and safety — not losing her home and facing an uncertain future. This 43-pound, petite, squishy little girl was owner-surrendered on 11/17/25. She came in confused, but still so full of love for every person who approaches her. Monroe is friendly with all people, accepting of handling, takes treats gently, and even sits when asked. She’s wiggly, playful, and has that adorable mini-Sharpei look that makes your heart melt Her former home reported she does not do well with other dogs, and had multiple incidents with the dogs she lived with. Because of this, Monroe may need to be the ONLY dog in her next home — something many rescues struggle to placeBut should this sweet, loving baby lose her life because she doesn’t want to share her home with o She’s unpredictable with dogs, but with people? She is a total loveA dog who leans in for affection. A dog who wants connection. A dog who needs structure, training and stability At the shelter, she’s been energetic, happy, and easy to handle. She goes in and out of the kennel with no issues, accepts full handling, and lights up for attention. Dog tests are pending, but she’s showing staff what a GOOD girl she is with humans. Monroe deserves a real chance — a safe place to be an only dog, a foster willing to help her decompress, a rescue who sees the sweet young soul behind the behavior notes. ##2608295##

Story
Poe is very kind, cuddly and caring. He isn’t house trained, but knows some basic commands. He is a sweet dog and very loved. I just have not been successful in house training him. And he needs a place with a backyard to play in. He’s 5.5 years old. He’s a scaredy cat with loud noises, hates fireworks and car horns. He likes walks, but will cry his head off during car rides.We really don’t want to have to give him up in the end, and would be happy to take tips on how to help with house training if anyone is willing to share.

Story
Say hello to 2+ year old Chonk, a sweet, cuddly, and curious pup looking for his forever people. Don't let the name fool you. This guy is a total lovebug who will follow you from room to room just to see what you're up to, then bury his face in your chest for a proper snuggle. He's a champion face-burrower and thinks his humans are the best thing in the world. Chonk is a medium to high energy dog who loves his walks and is a pleasure on leash, especially when treats are involved (he is highly food motivated and very willing to work for them).  After a good outing, he's perfectly content to settle in with a chew toy and relax alongside his people. He has lovely manners around food, and post-dinner zoomies are a nightly event and guaranteed entertainment. Chonk is looking for a one-dog household. He is easygoing and content on his own, but he still gets a bit overexcited around other dogs and is happiest as the only pup in the home.  He's also hoping to find a forever family  who is  interested in teaching him new and useful life skills and cues using force-free, positive reinforcement training methods. He's still learning  how to best let you know  when he wants attention, without mouthing, jumping,  and  gentle nipping. He's improving steadily with patient, kind guidance. He's a smart, willing student who just needs a thoughtful human to help him finish growing up. If you are ready for a loyal, loving companion who will think you hung the moon, Chonk would love to meet you.  June 5, 2026, 8:10 pm
