Story
Gus is can be a little shy at times. He is smart kind little guy and knows a lot of some common commands and he enjoys car rides. He is lease trained but still needs some additional training. He is very quiet inside the house and sleeps on his bed throughout the night. He doesn’t chew up anything or gets on the furniture. He seems to responds a little better to my wife and he likes to stay close to her. He is an excellent inside companion, very loyal and very low maintenance.

Story
Hello there! My name is Gretna, and I’m on a big journey to discover that the world can be a safe and happy place. Right now, new experiences and unfamiliar sights can make me feel a bit nervous, so I’m searching for someone who will offer me plenty of patience, gentle encouragement, and lots of kindness as I learn to trust.👼🏻🐾 Once I start to feel comfortable, my true personality begins to shine—I absolutely adore snuggling up close and sharing sweet moments with my favorite people. There’s nothing better than feeling safe in loving arms! 🎀🥰 I’m already making great progress with puppy pads, and I get along well with other dogs, especially those who are calm and friendly. My gentle and sensitive nature means I thrive in peaceful environments where I can take things at my own pace.🧸 All I really need is someone who understands that building trust takes time, but the rewards are endless. If you’re willing to go slow and let me blossom, I promise to fill your life with love, loyalty, and lots of cuddles once my heart feels safe. 🏡💕

Story
Meet Gentilly. He’s a gentle, shy boy who likes to take things at his own pace. He’s slow to warm up at first, but once he feels safe, he becomes the sweetest little snuggle bug and loves being close to his people. One of his eyes is half blue, giving him soulful puppy eyes that are impossible to resist. Right now, he prefers staying near his safe spots and isn’t venturing outside yet, but he’s doing an excellent job using the puppy pad consistently with very few accidents. Gentilly loves sweet potato teething rings and bones, but his personality really shines when he’s playing with his sister. He can get delightfully silly! He would thrive in a calm, patient home, especially one with another dog or kids who can help build his confidence and show him the ropes.

Story
Meet Nola💕🎀 Nola has shown her foster mom that she is the sweetest girl ever, no aggression at all.😇🍭 But she’s very nervous around people and loud noises. She’s slowly coming around. But her foster sibling has become her support. Where ever and what ever she does Nola does. 🥹 She’s learning to walk on a leash. She will stay right by you but is terrified of loud noises like trucks and busses. Also she’s doing pretty well with potty training. 😌 She even slept in bed with her foster family she loves laying by you and having a soft, safe place to rest.😆 Nola would thrive in a home where there is another dog and/or someone that will have patience for her to earn their trust🏡💕✨ Nola deserves a second chance and a special forever home where abandonment is never the solution.🎀😊

Story
Meet Spinach, an energetic and lovable ball of joy! This high-energy pup is always ready to run, jump, and play—he’s got endless enthusiasm for life and will keep you on your toes. Spinach already knows `sit,` and with a little patience and some training, he’ll be the best companion you could ask for. He’s possibly housetrained, but might need some consistency to get fully settled in his new home. Spinach can be a bit jumpy when he’s excited (and he’s often excited!), but with a little guidance, he’ll learn to be the calm and well-behaved pup you’ve been waiting for. If you’re an active person or family looking for a dog who will keep up with your adventures, Spinach is your guy! He`s ready for his forever home, where he can burn off all that energy with love and attention. Could that be with you?Spinach is currently in foster care outside of the shelter.
