Story
Bessie is 2 yrs old and is a mix of 9 breeds listed on the second photo. Mostly American Staffordshire and German Shepherd. She is very smartand friendly. She is sneaky and likes to steal from countertops when nobody is home, and she is sensitive to loud noises. She will find a place to hide inside the house, like a bathroom or under a bed.She has a zero bite record and is not aggressive in any way, but she is a protector, and will put herself in front of you if she senses danger. Bessie is sensitive and possibly abused as a puppy, or if its just the sensitive nature of the German Shepherd in her. Either way, its important that she is handled gently and w love.She loves playing with other dogs, she is like a mother to puppies and will become their best friend, and she is very good with children and doesnt pay any attention to cats.Bessie is used to an invisible fence she sleeps all night and is fully housetrained.

Story
Meet Willie! 🐾Willie’s story starts with a second chance he was pulled from a high-kill shelter just in the nick of time, arriving with a microchip that had never been registered and no one ever came to claim him. Their loss is your gain, because Willie is truly one of the good ones.This sweet, 3-year-old, 50 lb boy is a people-lover through and through. The moment you start petting him, something magical happens his whole face lights up into the biggest smile, his body goes soft and wiggly, and he melts right into you. He just wants to be loved, and he gives it right back.Willie has plenty of energy and loves to play, so he does best with dog friends who can keep up with him. He’s crate trained and will happily trot into his crate for a treat , no fuss, no drama.He comes fully vetted and ready to start his forever chapter.Willie doesn’t ask for much just someone to call his own. Could that be you?

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Gordon! 4 years old • Total lovebug • Ready for his forever home Gordon is an incredibly loving and motivated dog who’s ready to be someone’s very best companion. He’s a smart boy who thrives on learning and truly enjoys having a job to do. With a little patience and continued training, Gordon will make an amazing partner for someone who wants an engaged, eager-to-please dog. He’s highly food- and toy-motivated (especially when it comes to treats and a good game of tug!) and is already doing fantastic with obedience and impulse control. Gordon knows his basic commands—sit, lie down, stay, and wait—and he loves showing off his skills. He’s also great on a leash, making walks and outings enjoyable and easy. Beyond his smarts, Gordon is wonderfully friendly and affectionate. He loves people, never meets a stranger, and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Whether he’s training, playing, or snuggling, Gordon is happiest when he’s part of the action. Gordon will do best in a home with a physically fenced yard where he can safely play, explore, and burn off his energy. If you’re looking for a bright, sweet, and devoted dog who’s ready to learn and ready to love, Gordon might just be your perfect match.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Debbie! If you’re looking for a dog whose favorite place is curled up beside you, Debbie may just be your perfect match. Debbie is one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs you’ll ever meet. She absolutely lives for belly rubs, cuddles, and soaking up all the love you have to give. With her easygoing, low-maintenance personality, she’s simply happy to be part of the family. She is fully crate trained, settles quietly without whining, and has excellent house manners. Debbie has only had one accident in several months in foster care and is considered house trained when given regular opportunities to go outside. She can comfortably spend the workday resting in her crate and is always excited to greet you when you come home. Debbie absolutely adores children and has been wonderful with her foster family’s 3- and 7-year-old. She also loves meeting new people and greets visitors with a sweet, friendly personality that makes everyone fall in love with her. One of Debbie’s favorite things is snuggling. Whether she’s curled up on the couch beside you or asking for belly rubs, she simply wants to be close to her people. She also enjoys soft toys, treats, and already knows how to sit. She walks well on a leash, though she can be a little strong at times. Debbie has come a long way with other dogs. She has formed a great friendship with her foster brother, George, and enjoys playing with him. Because of her past, she can be nervous when meeting unfamiliar dogs and may be protective of food, so slow, structured introductions with a confident, experienced handler are important. While she could thrive as an only dog, she also has the potential to live successfully with the right canine companion if given patience and proper introductions. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who asks for little more than a comfy place to nap and plenty of affection, Debbie is ready to fill your home with love.

Story
Meet Mushi! Hey everybody, my name is Mushi! I'm so excited to meet you! Well, I'm excited to meet everybody. I'm an American Bulldog mix, and I was born right about 03/01/2022. My friends here at the shelter like to call me all kinds of goofy nicknames, like Mushy, Mushster, Mushmallow, and Mushiboy. I don't mind any of them, because that means I'm getting attention! Attention is one of my favorite things, after all. I do have lots of favorite things, though. Treats are my favorite, people are my favorite, toys are my favorite, running is my favorite, playing is my favorite... I could go on and on! I'm told my squishy cheeks and happy smile are irresistable, so only come meet me if you're prepared to fall in love! I really like other dogs, too, but I definitely have fun being the dog in charge. If you already have any other dogs, make sure you bring them to meet me so I can decide if they can hang with me. I think kids are great, but I really don't like being hugged or held, so only kids that understand my boundaries, please.  Mushi is fully vetted, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $175.

Story
Meet Lumere — a one-of-a-kind sweetheart with a heart as big as his adorable smile!   At 2 ½ years old, Lumere is what we like to call a “31 flavors mix,” meaning he’s the perfect blend of everything lovable. This handsome boy is super sweet, calm, and easygoing, making him a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a laid back best friend.   Lumere does great with dogs, cats, and kids, and he absolutely loves being around people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so he’s more than ready to head home with his forever family.   Lumere is also partially deaf, but don’t let that fool you — he doesn’t let it slow him down one bit! He’s still full of love, personality, and charm, and he’s looking for someone who will love him just the way he is.   If you’re searching for a gentle, loyal companion with a unique spirit, Lumere is your guy!   ##2724746##
