Story
How this pet arrived: Mufasa was brought in by a community member on December 10, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Mufasa, a sweet and sensitive soul looking for a patient and loving home. He can be a bit shy with new faces and places, but with time (and tasty treats of course) he blossoms into a bubbly companion! Once you bond, he may even get a little too excited at times, but responds well to positive reinforcement training! Mufasa has done well on social walks with other dogs in the shelter and may enjoy having a calm canine friend. Mufasa is crate trained and thrives in a structured home but isn't suited for busy environments like farmers markets, due to his shy nature. He would thrive best in a small household without young children (under 8) who will respect his space and allow him to adjust at his own pace. If you're ready to give this sweet pup the loving home he deserves, you're sure to gain a loyal companion! Come on down to meet him today, and make sure to bring the whole household! Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 63.4 Age: 2yrs 3mths 0wks

How this pet arrived: Sadie was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on October 26, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Sadie, a lovable girl who's ready to bring a whole lot of joy and snuggles into your life! Sadie may be a bit slower these days, but she's still full of love, always ready to cuddle up on the couch and enjoy some good scratches while watching TV. Her easy-going nature makes her the perfect companion for someone who wants a laid-back dog with a sweet disposition. Sadie is perfectly happy in a smaller space, like a cozy apartment, and enjoys a couple of short walks each day at a leisurely pace. She's a dream on the leash and doesn't need a lot of activity to keep her content. She has enjoyed spending time around children but is looking for a home without other dogs. While she may be slow-moving most of the time, don't be fooled - she still has bursts of puppy joy, like when she gets the zoomies and shows off her playful side! She rarely barks, but she will give you a soft "woof" at the door when it's time to go outside. Sadie is potty-trained, well-mannered, and has a heart full of affection to offer. She'd be a wonderful fit for anyone seeking a calm, loving companion who can bring warmth and happiness to your home. While she does have some medical needs, including dental disease, arthritis, and a few suspected benign masses, she's still got so much to give. Sadie can't wait to find a family who will love her as much as she'll love them. If you're looking for a loyal friend to brighten your days, Sadie's your girl! Fill out the interest form above!

Story
How this pet arrived: Manolo was brought in by his previous owner on December 29, 2024 Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Manolo, the energetic ball enthusiast with a zest for life and a talent for keeping you on your toes! This sweet boy lives for playtime - whether it's fetch, chase or simply showing off his pro-level ball-handling skills. He's a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his energy levels. Manolo's hobbies include taking you on scenic tours during walks (he's a firm believer in cardio) and perfecting his "how high can I jump?" game when he's excited. But don't worry - turning your back and rewarding him with attention when he's calm is all part of the Manolo Management Plan. At home, Manolo can sometimes turn into a creative redecorator if left alone for too long, so he'd thrive in a household where he has company or plenty of mental stimulation. Manolo is looking for a family without young children (under 5) who will understand his quirks and continue his positive-reinforcement training. Manolo has displayed dog reactivity on leash, and has also shown social behaviors towards dogs, so we recommend bringing your pup along for a meet and greet. If you're ready for a lovable companion with a heart full of potential, Manolo is waiting to be your MVP (Most Valuable Pup)!Dog Reactive Dog and Excitable Dog:  Manolo requires two virtual behavior consults, please click HERE and HERE to learn more about him.

Mojo is a quick learner and enjoys mental stimulation through puzzles and interactive toys. He loves people and would enjoy lounging by your side. Mojo is a lower-energy dog, so he's perfectly content with shorter walks and relaxing at home. While he tires out quickly, he's a sturdy boy who walks best with a harness. Mojo is dog reactive and is looking for a home without other dogs - he wants all your attention to himself! Want to add this big meatball to your family? Come meet him today!

Story
How this pet arrived:Pho was brought in by a community member on February 9, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Pho may sound like a delicious bowl of noodles, but this little pup is all energy and wiggly fun! He arrived with his siblings and has been treated for ringworm (a fungal skin infection). With his puppy curiosity and go-go-go attitude, Pho is ready to zoom into your heart-and probably into places he shouldn't be. As a young pup, Pho will need guidance on all the important things in life: potty training, leash manners, and learning that your shoes are not chew toys. He's a blank slate ready to soak up all the love and positive reinforcement you can give him! Puppies require patience, consistency, and a good sense of humor-because let's be real, there will be puppy puddles and accidental redecorating at inconvenient times. If you're ready for puppy snuggles, playful chaos, and the joy of watching Pho grow into the best boy, come meet him! Don't forget to bring a leash and collar!
