Story
Opal is 8 months old, 45-50 lbs. She is a wonderful pup. and stunning. she loves other dogs. would be best in a home with another dog. She is wary of new people because she was abused by some teenagers and young kids. But she warms up quickly once she realizes she is safe. So NO KIDS AT ALL. Lots of energy, typical puppy. She was adopted by a young girl that dumped her immediately because her parents had not ok'd her getting a dog. She would make an awesome running partner. she is very athletic, but also very lovable.

Story
Please contact foster at : safiyabanyas@gmail.comKano is a really fun, playful, affectionate dog who would do well with someone looking for an active companion that also likes to cuddle and settle down afterward.If you’re seeking a loving, trainable, and incredibly cuddly companion, Kano could be the perfect fit.Personality / general vibe: - Kano is a playful, active, affectionate boy.- He’s incredibly sweet and happy, and he loves being around people and really likes attention.- He seems to think he’s a lap dog and will absolutely climb onto your lap if you let him!- This affectionate boy loves giving endless hugs and kisses.- He enjoys running, sniffing, and exploring, so he seems like a great fit for someone who likes walks and giving their dog things to do!- He walks well on leash and has done great on outings with other dogs — slow intros always recommended.- Once he gets his energy out, he does settle down nicely and has been napping on the couch, in his crate, and in your bed if you let him!- He’s great in the car and has the best ears and a bright smile.Play style: - Loves fetch.- Loves tug.- Very curious about his surroundings.- Really enjoys sniffing and exploring.- Loves toys!Home behavior: - Potty trained in the apartment with regular potty breaks.- Crates well.- No crying or destructive behavior observed in the crate.- Has been easy to live with overall once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy.- Seems house-trained and settles beautifully after activity.Training: - Knows sit.- He’s already getting the hang of sit / wait / “go” during feeding times.- He is still working on leash manners, since he can get excited and pull, but he’s fun to work with and seems eager to engage.- Very food-motivated. Should make training a breeze!- Still learning how to take treats gently, so give with an open palm or toss.Handling / grooming: - Did well during bath time (tried to escape at first, but accepted his fate pretty quickly!).- Was scared of the blow dryer, so he was towel-dried and allowed to air dry.- Lets you wipe his paws and rear after being outside without giving a hard time.

Story
MEET MAYBELLE!STATS: 1.5 years old, spayed, American Staffy Mix, 42 lbsAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: I am the wiggliest, happiest, goofiest girl you can find! My tail literally never stops wagging and it sometimes makes it hard for me to stand. I am super energetic and love playing with both my dog and human friends. I have such a sweet and playful personality - so much love in one little short-legged package!WHAT I LOVE: I really love to play! I love playing with other dogs and if I had a dog sibling, we could entertain ourselves all day by just playing non-stop! I also really love people and I think they love me too because they’re always laughing when I am around and talking about how funny shaped my body is (apparently, I am super short AND super long? I never noticed!)KIDS: While I haven’t been formally tested with kids at the shelter, the staff thinks I would do well with kids that are kind and respectful towards me!OTHER DOGS: I am dog friendly and go to playgroup every day at the shelter! I am super playful, so I would do well with dogs that love to play, too!CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: I would love a family that loves to play, have fun, and spend time together! I would be happiest best with a dog sibling that would enjoy having someone to run around with and roll in the grass. SPECIAL NOTE: I look like a tiny terrier in a dachshund body!

Story
We adopted Peach from the Gaston Animal Shelter in March 2025 when she was 3 months old. She is now 16 months old. We would like to find her a home where she can be more active. Our schedules have changed and make it hard to spend the time with her that she deserves. She is crate trained, potty trained and has some formal training (sit, wait, down, etc.) Peach is active, fun loving and goofy. She is a lap dog and loves to be around her family.
