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.

Story
Ruby is a one year old, 55 pound mix breed. She is loving, affectionate, smart, and eager-to-please girl who absolutely loves her people. She is a big cuddler, loves treats, car rides, swimming, playing fetch, and diving off docks and rafts. She has grown up in a busy home with three older children and is happiest when she is included in family life. Ruby is crate trained and a great sleeper. One of her funny little quirks is that she loves to suckle on her pillow, and she has the longest tongue we’ve ever seen! She knows her commands well and has completed two puppy training classes. Ruby can take a little time to warm up to new people and may be unsure when unfamiliar people approach her. She can get very excited when she sees other dogs while on leash and may lunge because she wants to get to them. She does well around other dogs when staying with her pet sitter. She would do best with a patient owner who is willing to give her time to feel comfortable.

Story
Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Han Solo, a handsome black Mastiff mix with a heart as big as his paws! Like his famous namesake, Han Solo can be a little cautious when meeting new people, preferring to take his time before deciding you`re part of his crew. But don`t let his shy first impression fool you—once he feels safe and comfortable, you`ll discover an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loyal companion who loves being close to his people.Han Solo is a smart boy who enjoys learning and thrives when given patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. He is happiest in a home where he can relax, feel secure, and be part of the family. Watching his confidence grow as he settles into a new environment is one of the most rewarding parts of getting to know him. Like many dogs, Han Solo has a few quirks that make him unique. He can be protective of his food, so he`ll need a family that understands how to manage this behavior respectfully and safely. Because of this, he would do best as the only pet in the home and in a household without young children. Han Solo has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person to see how special he truly is.

Story
Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Kody, a big-hearted boy with an even bigger personality! This handsome guy is still learning that he isn`t lap-dog sized—when he stands up to say hello with his paws on your shoulders, he`s over 5 feet tall! (Yes, we`ve measured... and yes, he likes to show off his height.)Kody can be a little nervous when meeting new people and appreciates slow, patient introductions. Give him some time to get comfortable, and you`ll discover a goofy, energetic dog who absolutely loves spending time with his people. Once he`s out of his shell, he`s full of affection, enthusiasm, and always ready for his next adventure.This big guy loves exploring the world on walks, taking in every new scent along the way. He`s incredibly strong, though, so he`ll need a family that`s committed to continuing his leash training and helping him develop good manners. Kody also has a playful, mouthy play style, so positive, consistent training will help him learn appropriate ways to channel all that excitement.Kody has so much potential to blossom into an incredible companion with someone willing to invest the time and patience he deserves. Because of his size and exuberant play style, he`d do best in a home without small children. While he has gotten along with both dogs and cats, his rough-and-tumble play could accidentally overwhelm or injure smaller companions, so any introductions should be made thoughtfully.If you`re looking for a loyal best friend and are ready to help a lovable giant build his confidence and polish his manners, Kody is ready to start his next chapter by your side.
