Nobody wants Doja on Day 734…💔
👉Comment NOBODY because Doja is still alone.
👉SHARE or SAVE this reel

3.5 years young and full of quiet potential 💛

Doja is a sweet, playful girl who just needs a little time to feel safe in new situations.

✨ Doja at a glance:
• 3.5 years old
• Walks beautifully on leash
• Knows “sit”
• Loves toys & playtime
• Bonds deeply with her people
• Thrives in a calm environment
• Would do best with teens and adults
• Prefers slow, gentle introductions
• Needs to be your one and only

Once she trusts you, she’s loyal, loving, and incredibly special. The best bonds are built with patience — and Doja is worth it.

Ch*****ne PASSED his cat test😸Now he heeds a home if his own 🏡
👉Comment CATS because Ch*****ne passed his cat test
👉SAVE or SHARE this reel for Ch*****ne

Ch*****ne at a glance:

🐾3.5-year-old terrier mix
🐾Sweet, gentle, and quietly lovable
🐾At the shelter since August 2024

Ch*****ne has made amazing progress. He now enjoys his walks, proudly shows off “sit” and “paw,” and even has a blast on the agility course!

He can be a little shy with new people, but once he feels safe, he’s a calm and devoted companion.

Ch*****ne would thrive in:
• An adult-only home
• Passed his cat test—no other dogs
• Patient humans ready to help him build confidence

With love and encouragement, this shy sweetheart will blossom into your most loyal best friend. 🤍
