Look at those tall, striking ears, adorable white socks, and legs for days! Lady is a 1-year-old, 35 lb Rat Terrier mix with shiny black fur, expressive eyes, and a heart brimming with love! ๐Ÿ’–

Lady arrived as a stray 4 months ago, was terrified and shutdown at the noisy shelter. But a kind short term foster gave her a safe place to decompressโ€”and it worked like magic! โœจ Now back at the shelter, Lady is a transformed girl: settled, happy, playful, greeting everyone with a big, bright smile! ๐Ÿ˜„ Watching her zoom around the play yard with her bestie, Mandy, will absolutely melt your heart! ๐ŸŽพ

Sweet notes about Lady:

โšก ๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰ ๐‘ฌ๐’๐’†๐’“๐’ˆ๐’š & ๐‘บ๐’–๐’‘๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ท๐’๐’‚๐’š๐’‡๐’–๐’: A playful, fun-loving girl who needs an active family ready for backyard fun, brisk walks, and playtime! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ
๐Ÿก ๐‘ท๐’๐’•๐’•๐’š ๐‘ป๐’“๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’…: House-trained and ready for home life!

As a big-hearted shadow dog who thrives on companionship, Lady does best in a home where folks are around often or has a doggy sibling to keep her company. While she prefers not to be left alone for long stretches at first, once she feels secure in her new routine and knows she is safe, she relaxes and blossoms! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

Come meet darling ๐‹๐€๐ƒ๐˜ who lives to love and see if youโ€™re her perfect match! ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’™

๐‡๐š๐ข๐ซ๐ฒ is an 8-month-old, 50 lb brown bundle of love who has come so far and is ready to trade foster life for a forever family! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’–

Hairyโ€™s shelter story begins at 4 months old when he arrived as part of a large litter. His siblings were adopted, but shy little Hairy was left behindโ€”scared, overwhelmed, and hiding in the back of his noisy kennel. ๐Ÿ’” Then a foster angel swooped in and gave him a quiet place to heal and grow for the last two months! Today, he is thrivingโ€”with a stunning brown coat, giant ears, and warm, soulful amber eyes, he is a head-turner! ๐Ÿ•๐ŸคŽ More about Hairy:

๐Ÿ’• Affection & Devotion: Once he knows you, he is 100% snuggles, kisses, and loyal devotion!
๐Ÿก Potty Trained Champ: Zero accidents in the house!
๐Ÿถ Dog-Friendly: LOVES playing with the foster's dogs! Having a dog buddy in the home helps him feel safe and secure.
๐Ÿฑ Cat-Friendly: Good with felines; but if running the game is on!
๐Ÿฅพ Active & Energetic: Full of fun, 8-month-old puppy energyโ€”he loves hikes, running in the yard, and playing hard with his doggy pals!
๐Ÿชต Crate & Supervision: When crated, he likes being able to see his doggy pals so he doesn't feel isolated. If left loose in the house, he needs supervision during his puppy chewing phase!

โค๏ธ ๐‡๐š๐ข๐ซ๐ฒ is a big-hearted 'shadow dog' who loves being where the action is. He's working through some puppy separation anxiety, so a home with folks around often or another dog to show him the ropes is ideal! Hairy would thrive best in an active home with resident doggy friends and a patient family eager to continue guiding him into the absolute best companion he can be. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’™

๐‡๐š๐ข๐ซ๐ฒ is currently living in a foster home so submit an online application to connect with his foster and schedule a meet-and-greet! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

There is truly nothing sweeter on this earth than the love of a senior dog. Theyโ€™ve spent their lives being true companions, and they ask for so little in returnโ€”just a warm, soft bed, a few gentle pats, don't forget the treats, and a family to call their own. ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

Meet ๐™…๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ผ, a 7-year, 7-month-old Lab/Great Pyrenees mix who is 80+ pounds of genuine sweetness! She brings together the absolute best qualities of two of the gentlest breeds on the planet. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿพ She has that classic 'wise matriarch' calmnessโ€”nothing rattles her, and her peaceful, steady presence instantly makes any home feel cozier.

Found as a stray hanging with other pup pals, ๐™…๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ผ is a big, gentle soul with a kind heart. While she may be labeled a "senior", we like to think of her as a distinguished lady with experienceโ€”wise and ready to fill your home with calm, steady love. ๐Ÿฐโœจ

๐™…๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ผ will steal your heart and you'll love every minute:
๐Ÿฟ Ultimate Movie Night Pal: If you're looking for a giant, fluffy polar bear dog to lean against the couch and binge-watch TV with, Jana is your girl!
๐Ÿฆฎ Slow Hike Companion: She adores her leisurely, sniffing walks and moves at a sweet, unhurried pace that turns every outing into a peaceful stroll.
๐Ÿ‘— Fashionista: Super patient and gentleโ€”she doesn't even mind being dressed up in cute bandanas or seasonal outfits! ๐ŸŽ€
๐Ÿ  House-Trained & Healthy: Potty trained, gentle-natured and Heartworm Negative!

๐™…๐˜ผ๐™‰๐˜ผ has lived a long life and now deserves to live her golden years in complete comfort, pampered like the queen she is. Come meet our big white cloud of love at the shelter and let her show you how magical senior love really is! โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
