Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 -Meet Robin, a handsome Mastiff with a big heart and a personality all his own. Robin is the kind of dog who may need a little time to decide that you’re his person, but once he trusts you, he has so much love to give. He can be cautious around strangers and experiences some stranger danger, so he’ll do best with an adopter who understands that building a relationship takes patience, consistency, and respect for his boundaries. Robin isn’t the type to instantly greet everyone he meets, but with the right approach, he can learn that new people aren’t so scary and that he is safe.Robin is also dog selective, meaning he won’t be best friends with every dog he meets. He’ll need thoughtful, slow introductions and a home that is willing to set him up for success by respecting his preferences and finding the right canine match, if another dog is in the picture. His ideal home will be one that appreciates him for who he is and is willing to give him the time, structure, and guidance he needs to feel confident and comfortable.Despite his quirks, Robin has so many wonderful qualities that make him worth getting to know. He is a loyal, devoted boy who has the potential to form an incredibly special bond with his person. He doesn’t need to be the life of the party or everyone’s best friend; he just needs someone who will see the sweet dog underneath his initial caution and give him the opportunity to blossom at his own pace. In return, Robin can offer the kind of companionship that comes from earning a dog’s trust and becoming his safe place.If you are looking for a loyal Mastiff who will reward your patience with a deep and meaningful bond, Robin could be the boy you’ve been waiting to meet. He may need a little extra understanding, but this big guy has an awful lot of love waiting for the right person.

Story
Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 -Meet Tobitha, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality just waiting to come out of her shell! Tobitha is a sweet, affectionate girl who believes that first impressions are overrated and that trust is something you should earn. She may be a little shy or unsure when she first meets you, but give her some time to get comfortable and you’ll soon discover the loving little companion hiding underneath that initial hesitation. Once Tobitha decides you’re her person, she is more than happy to shower you with affection and enjoy all the love and attention you’re willing to give. She’s a girl who likes to take things at her own pace, and honestly, can you blame her? She knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to make you work just a tiny bit for her heart. Tobitha would do best in a patient, loving home where she can settle in, feel safe, and become comfortable in her own time. She would be a good match for older, respectful children who understand that little dogs sometimes need their personal bubble respected. She can also do well with cats and other dogs, so she doesn’t mind having some four-legged roommates around. Once she feels at home, Tobitha is ready to be your little shadow, loyal companion, and professional snuggler. She may need a little patience in the beginning, but underneath that cautious first impression is a wonderfully sweet girl with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a pint-sized best friend with an adorable personality, a gentle heart, and just enough sass to keep life interesting, Tobitha might be the girl you’ve been waiting for.

She`s looking for a patient, dog-savvy family that understands canine body language and will let her settle in at her own pace.

She becomes playful, energetic, and loves spending time with her people.

With gentle guidance and positive experiences, Lety will continue to build confidence and discover that the world isn`t quite as scary as she once thought.Lety is looking for an animal-free home with older, respectful children who can understand and support her need for patience and space. She`ll thrive with a family that celebrates the small victories, appreciates her sensitive nature, and is committed to helping her become the confident dog she`s meant to be.

Story
Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Florence is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart without ever asking for much in return. At 9 years old, this beautiful German Shepherd has settled into her senior years with a wonderfully sweet, gentle, and peaceful personality. She is a docile, quiet girl who enjoys simply being near the people she loves and would make a lovely companion for a family looking for a calm and affectionate dog. Florence is also wonderful with young children and would be happy to share her home with kids of different ages. She is also comfortable around cats and other dogs, making her a wonderful candidate for a home with furry friends. Florence is currently quite overweight, and while her extra pounds certainly add to her charm, it is something her future family will need to take seriously. She deserves people who understand the importance of proper nutrition, appropriate portions, and a healthy, gradual approach to weight management, along with gentle exercise suited to her age and abilities. With the right care, patience, and consistency, her family can help her become healthier, more comfortable, and enjoy her golden years to the fullest. Florence does not need a busy or complicated life; she simply needs a loving home where she can feel safe, valued, and included. After nine years of life, she deserves to spend her senior years surrounded by people who will appreciate her quiet nature, gentle spirit, and unwavering sweetness. She has so much love left to give and is ready to be someone`s loyal, loving companion for all the years ahead.

Story
Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Meet Fred, the big, goofy dog! He’s a very friendly dog with absolutely zero concept of personal space. Think of him as a lovable bull in a China shop — he means well, but his manners definitely need some work! He gets **very excited** and shows it by jumping up on people, helping himself to the tables, and enthusiastically mouthing at arms when he’s feeling extra happy. He’s not trying to be rude… he’s just *really bad at saying hello or playing politely! He also has food possessiveness, so he’ll need an experienced adopter who understands resource guarding and is prepared to work with him using patient, consistent training. Because of this, he needs to be the only pet in the home and a home without children. This handsome guy has plenty of personality and a lot of potential. He’ll need someone who can provide structure, boundaries, training, and — most importantly — a willingness to help him learn that being a big guy means he needs **big manners, too!** He’s not a finished product, but with the right person, some patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement, he has every opportunity to become the well-mannered companion hiding underneath all that enthusiastic chaos.
