Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $450 - Sandy is a 3-year-old Lab mix with a goofy personality, a playful spirit, and a whole lot of love to give. While he may be an adult, Sandy still has plenty of puppy energy—and he’s looking for a home that will embrace his fun-loving nature and keep his body and mind happily busy.An energetic household would be a great fit for Sandy, especially one ready to enjoy playtime, adventures, and lots of toy time! He’s a wonderful companion who is keeping his paws crossed that his forever home comes fully stocked with toys. ??Sandy can be a little unsure when meeting new people or experiencing new environments, but give him a little time and he warms up quickly. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and playful personality shines through. He would do well in a home with kids and cats!When it comes to other dogs, Sandy would like to take things at his own pace. Dogs who come on too strong can sometimes be overwhelming for him, so a meet-and-greet with any potential canine siblings will be important before he heads home.And then there’s Sandy’s adorable nub tail! It’s impossible to miss—and when he gets excited, that little tail goes a mile a minute.If you’re looking for a goofy, playful, affectionate companion who’s ready for toys, fun, and a family of his own, Sandy might just be your guy!

Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $450 - Josie may be 5 years old, but her heart says she’s 6 months!

If you’re looking for a canine adventure buddy who is always ready to go, Josie might be your girl!Josie knows most of her basic cues, but her brain moves a mile a minute, so sometimes those cues go in one ear and straight out the other! She’s eager to learn, though, and with patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement, she has so much potential.And let`s talk about her springs… because Josie apparently has bounce built into her back legs! This large lady doesn`t quite understand how big or heavy she is and may launch herself at you or onto you with all the enthusiasm of a tiny puppy. Her new family will need to help her learn some manners and appropriate ways to show her excitement.Josie is looking for a home without young children or other animals. She can be very protective of her food and toys around other animals and will not be polite about sharing, so she needs a family who understands resource guarding and is prepared to manage it responsibly.In the right home, Josie will be a fun-loving, energetic companion who is ready to learn, explore, adventure, and soak up all the love she can get. Whether you`re heading out for a walk, exploring somewhere new, or working on her training, Josie is ready to be by your side.Her next chapter is waiting—and this spirited Husky girl is ready to start writing it.

Story
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 Lety, a beautiful medium-sized German Shepherd mix with a gentle heart that`s waiting for the right person to help it shine.Lety is a timid girl who takes time to trust new people and adjust to new surroundings. 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 won`t be the kind of dog who feels at home overnight—but if you`re willing to give her the time, understanding, and reassurance she needs, you`ll get to watch an incredible transformation.As Lety`s confidence grows, so does her personality. She becomes playful, energetic, and loves spending time with her people. Nothing makes her happier than zooming through the grass with a squeaky toy in her mouth, enjoying the simple joys of feeling safe and free. 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. Lety tends to like to wander off if she can find a way to escape, so keeping her safely secured will be important.If you believe that the best relationships are built on trust, patience, and unconditional love, Lety may just be the perfect companion for you.

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.
