Please help us 🙏🏼 This bandana wearing guy HAS to belong to someone! Someone put this bandana on him. He has been hanging out on Firefly Ln near Green Street and Raccoon lake in Centralia for a few days but is now with us. Please share to help him find his way home!

Gracie Mae is the last one standing from the family of 11 we brought in back in March. She has nursed her babies and sent them off to their new lives, she said goodbye to her husband Peanut today, and here she is…. Soaking up armpit scratches while she waits her turn. She is a perfect girl and whoever chooses to love her forever will be very lucky! ❤️

🎵 I like big dogs and I cannot lie… 🎵

And Charlie B Barkin is bringing the whole package.

Big head? ✔️
Big paws? ✔️
Big heart? ABSOLUTELY. ❤️

Despite his size, Charlie is one of the gentlest souls you’ll ever meet. He’s the kind of guy who would rather lean into you for affection than cause any trouble. And while his name is Charlie B Barkin, he’s actually not much of a barker at all.

This handsome boy is all about good company, belly rubs, leisurely strolls, and making himself comfortable wherever his people are. He’s got the look of a tough guy, but underneath all that handsome muscle is a sweetheart who just wants to be loved.

If you’ve been looking for a loyal best friend with a little extra dog to love, Charlie is ready to fill that position immediately.

Come meet Charlie B Barkin. We promise you’ll fall for this gentle giant.

…….Puppies are cute but Charlie has something special: that calm, steady “I’ll be your best friend for life” kind of soul.
