Doesn't Minnie make the cutest faces!? 🥹

You might recognize the pup in slide 3 from yesterday's foster Friday post, both Maya and Minnie both arrived at our shelter as little puppies and spent their childhood together in a loving foster home. Maya is thriving in her current foster home, and now it's Minnie's turn to leave the shelter!

PS> Maya is also available for adoption! Check out her post for more info: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E8qroVLfm/

Minnie is the sweetest girl and has lived around children, knows sit, come, and seems to be potty trained! She's outgoing, loves car rides, pool time and will quickly greet anyone she meets. Minnie is also extremely treat-motivated and is eager to learn new tricks. 🙇‍♀️

Unfortunately, Minnie has been very stressed in the shelter environment and has been on our at risk list since April. Being in a kennel day in, day out is taking a toll on her and she urgently needs a home where she can decompress, relax, and get back to being her perfect little self.

If you can give Minnie a foster or forever home, please come by! She's currently checked in at our main shelter at 5001 Fred Wilson, open daily from 11am-6pm.

If we're being judged purely on looks, Blackbeard probably isn't winning any "most approachable" awards. 😆

He's got one eye that's a little cloudy from an old injury, an all-black coat, and a permanent expression that says he runs a very serious pirate ship. 🏴‍☠️

But the truth? Blackbeard is a total sweetheart. ❤️

He's affectionate, enjoys attention, and is much friendlier than his tough-guy appearance would have you believe. The only thing he's really guilty of is being tired of shelter life. After spending day after day in a kennel, he's ready for a place where he can stretch out, relax, and finally be himself.

We can't really blame him.

Behind that intimidating stare is a cat who loves attention and is ready for a home of his own. 🖤

Maya is proof that at-risk dogs are often some of the best dogs.🥹🧡

When Maya was in the shelter, she was stressed out, scared, and on our at-risk list. Now that she's had the chance to decompress in a loving foster home, she's showing everyone who she really is. 🐾

Her foster family says she's the kind of dog who makes herself right at home. Her favorite activities include cuddling in bed, giving kisses, and spending time with her people.🥰

She's already potty trained, walks beautifully on leash, and comes when called. Maya is currently living with a Chihuahua, Husky, and Golden Retriever, and gets along wonderfully with all of them. She's also done great around kids.👏🤩

Maya has waited long enough for a family of her own. If you've been looking for an easy addition to your home, she might just be your girl.

If you'd like to be this girl's forever, reach out to our foster team at [email protected], with Maya's animal ID number!

Corn has never known what it’s like to have a home.

He was born here at the shelter, and the only family he’s ever known has been the staff and volunteers who love him every single day. They’ve watched him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, goofy boy he is now.

But as much as we love him... this isn’t a home.

Corn deserves a family to cuddle with, play with, and grow old with. Someone to show him what lazy Sunday mornings feel like, what it’s like to fall asleep on the couch after a day of adventures, and what unconditional love looks like outside these shelter walls.

The amazing part? Despite spending his whole life here, Corn hasn’t let it harden his heart.

He’s still very much a puppy. He loves playing fetch and tug-of-war, splashing around in the pool, learning new tricks for treats, and spending time with his best friend, Bear. He’s never met a stranger because to Corn, everyone is just a friend he hasn’t played with yet.

We know he would thrive in a home with another playful dog or a family ready to help him discover that there’s a whole world waiting beyond the shelter.

All Corn needs is a chance.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to meet your next soul dog, this is it. Come meet Corn at our Westside Adoption Center, 5625 Confetti Dr, open daily from 11 am to 6 pm.

He’s already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. All he’s missing is you.

Earlier this week, our behavior specialists held a very educational Playgroup Training for staff and volunteers! Playgroups are a fun way for us to help our shelter dogs destress and become more socialized with other pups.🐩💆

Staff and volunteers learned how to safely and properly introduce dogs to one another, how to tell if pups are having fun, and when to give pups space from one another. 🐾🧡

We are always accepting new volunteers, so if you're interested in working with animals and learning more about them, head to our website to get involved!

Looking for a dog to match your "let's go do something fun" energy? Meet Honey 🍯🐾

At just one year old, Honey is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cuddle companion. She's playful, affectionate, loves being around her people, and is always ready for a walk, a trip to the dog park, or whatever adventure the day brings.

Honey is:
🐶 Crate trained
👧 Great with kids
🎾 Playful and active
💕 Loyal and affectionate
🌳 A fan of outdoor adventures and dog park outings

Most importantly, Honey is searching for a new home before she has to enter the shelter. We'd love to help her make the transition directly from her current home into her next chapter.

Think Honey could be your perfect match? Learn more and contact her current owners at 🔗 bit.ly/honeyh2h

📌 Note: Honey is not currently in the shelter and is being rehomed through our Home to Home program. If adopted through Home to Home, spay/neuter surgery and microchips may be available. To inquire about these services, please email [email protected].

Everyone, stop scrolling! Take a second to marvel at Lana’s beauty. 😍😍😍😍😍
 
This pretty girl recently went out on a field trip with one of our amazing volunteers, here’s what she had to say about Lana:

“Two year old Lana is a sweet love bug who just wants a place to lay her head and someone to love on. Shes content to be a couch potato, but loves her a morning sniff walk (5 stars on her leash skills!) and zoomies in the backyard. She seems to be potty trained, knows sit, and is the most dainty, gentle girl when taking treats and giving kisses. She did great getting a bath, and was a friend to every person she met. She’s not met any little kids yet, but was patient and affectionate with the older ones she did meet! Lana hates green beans, but loved any other treat offered to her. Lana is a professional passenger princess and even took a nap while waiting for her pup cup! 
 
She’s been in playgroups before and paired with other dogs, but would need to be fed alone. She’s suchhhh a good dog!” 
 
If you’re interested in adopting a pup but are past the puppy tendencies and potty training, Lana is more than ready for a home. She’s been waiting for months at 5001 Fred Wilson, and is eager to meet you any day between 11am-6pm. 🥹
