Meet Bruno — He’s Got That “Paws-itively” 24K Magic! If you’re looking for a pup with a heart of love and a soul full of sweetness, Bruno might just be your perfect match.

Once outside his kennel, Bruno warms up quickly and becomes a total goofball — wiggly, playful, and eager for pets! He’s still learning about toys and the world around him, but watching him discover and grow is part of the joy. He especially loves doing zoomies!Personality Highlights:Calm and quiet in his kennelGentle and polite with treatsKnows “sit”Seems house-trainedShows interest in other dogs (meet-and-greet recommended!)Bruno is the kind of dog who just wants to love and be loved.

Wrangler is a 9 to 10 months old pup, was found at the reservation. He's potty train, but he does get excited and scared which he leaks. Loves attention, cuddles and rough house. We have him on large breeds puppy by Science Hill. He gets along with our cat and kids. We did notice its takes some few meeting till he finally understands that your safe. He knows tricks like sit, lay, shake, high five, touch, and waits for food, his release word okay. He loves his outdoor patio, watching the people and dogs. We're not sure with dogs, he kinda got along with but was bullied. Hes a sweet little one, unfortunately we're not able to care for him long term due to money. We really wish him for a great home and family.

Story
I adopted Luna two months ago and am hoping to find her a good home. She is sweet and very smart. She learned quick how heel and responds well to praise and other reinforcement. I live alone so have little experience of how she responds to other dogs and cats. In the dog park she is submissive and then plays with them. She is very high energy at times and enjoys long walks.

Story
Hi! I`m Lover, the playful and curious pup who loves exploring every nook and cranny. He came into the shelter after being hit by a car and sustaining pelvic fractures, making him unable to stand or walk. However, after a few weeks of taking regular walks, his strength and true personality returned. He likes to keep his kennel clean and prefers to potty outside. Lover is also quite the independent spirit and is content to explore and sniff around outdoors. He is very good on leash, take treats well but he`s not really seeking a doggy playmate. Lover is also sweet and friendly, always ready for some affection or a fun adventure outside. He does have some neurological issues that affects his back leg BUT that doesn`t stop him. He can get a little tired on walks and may lay down and take a short break but he`s always ready to get back up and continue on. If you`re looking for an easygoing walking partner, come and visit Lover today!
