Arnie's Story

From Arnie's foster mom:

The first time I sat down with Arnie, he climbed up beside me on a picnic table and leaned his whole body into my chest, soft and trusting. That was the moment I realized the dog people see in the kennel isn’t the real Arnie.

The real Arnie is a young, soulful, affectionate 45 lb. Mountain Cur/Boxer mix who just wants to feel safe and settled in a home of his own. When he stayed with me in a calm home environment, he transformed. He slept — truly slept — curled up on the couch. He’s a snuggler. A leaner. The kind of dog who rests his head on you and lets out a deep sigh the moment he knows he’s safe.

Arnie bonds deeply with people and keeps a watchful eye on what you’re doing. Even when I step out briefly, he settles and waits patiently for me to return — always happy and relieved to see me come back. He’s also been wonderful with visitors; when a friend came over, he happily climbed onto the sofa beside her and snuggled for nearly half an hour before coming back to check

Adopt Shelby one of our seniors available at the shelter.

Shelby's Story

Hi, I’m Shelby!

I’m a 9½-year-old Labrador Retriever mix with a little gray on my face and a whole lot of love in my heart. Don’t let my frosty features fool you — I still have plenty of energy and enjoy staying active!

I’m house-trained and super sweet with people. In fact, I want all the love and affection you’re willing to give. Snuggles, pets, and attention are my favorite things.

When it comes to other dogs, I can be a little selective. I don’t mind dogs coming and going, and I play with the friend I came in with, but I would definitely need to meet them first to make sure we’re a good match.

If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion with the perfect mix of maturity and playful spirit, I just might be your girl. Please contact the shelter and schedule a meet-and-greet.
