Picture Description
Pets ZEUS - A211800
I am a unaltered male Labrador Retriever and American Staffordshire Terrier and I am about 4 years old
Hi there, I’m Zeus! I’m a big, lovable goof who’s looking for a new home where I can be spoiled with attention and love. I’m great with kids—I love to play and hang out with them! But I do have a little issue: I’m an escape artist, so I’ve managed to find my way out of the fence a few times. I’m also not housetrained yet, but I promise I’m a quick learner with the right guidance and patience. I might need a little extra help with training, but if you’re devoted to showing me the ropes, I’ll be the best companion ever. I’m super sweet and loving, always ready to cuddle or go for a walk. If you’re looking for a dog to shower with affection, I’m your guy!
Pets GOOD SAM - A207241
I am a neutered male American Staffordshire Terrier mix and I am about 4 years old
Hello! I'm Good Sam, and I'm looking for a new home where I can share my love and energy. I had a rough start after being hit by a car, but a wonderful person brought me to a vet clinic where I was treated for road rash. Now, I'm healthy and ready for my next adventure. The amazing folks at the clinic found out a lot about me while I have been here. I'm friendly and playful, housebroken and crate trained. I have a lot of energy and sometimes get so excited to see you that I jump with joy! Despite my enthusiastic nature, I'm a perfect gentleman and can't wait to find a forever home where I can bring happiness and companionship. Could that be with you?
Pets LOUIE - A218709
I am a neutered male Chihuahua - Smooth Coated and Miniature Pinscher and I am about 9 years old
Pets CHANCE - A217447
I am a neutered male Border Collie mix and I am about 10 years old
Hi, I’m Chance. I’m a gentle, happy guy who loves everyone I meet and is always up for any adventure—as long as I get to be with my person. I’m crate trained, housebroken, great with young children, and I even sleep on the floor in my boy’s room at night. I’ve been around cats, enjoy car rides, and I’m ready to go anywhere and do anything with you. My heart is big, sometimes too big, and when I’m left alone I get anxious—I may bark or try to escape (I can be pretty determined and might damage a door), so I need to be crated when you’re out. My current family loves me, but with a return to full-time office work, they can’t give me the company I need. I do best with someone who’s around most of the day, enjoys travel, and understands that it takes me a few days to settle in. Once I do, I promise to be the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for.
Pets MABEL - A217051
I am a spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier mix and I am about 3 years old
Hi, I’m Mabel ??—a very friendly, people-loving pup looking for a new home where I can get the walks, yard time, and attention I really need. My current family loves me, but without a yard and with busy schedules, they can’t give me as much activity as I deserve. I’m crate trained and housebroken, and at night I’m happiest cuddled up sleeping in the bed with you. I adore car rides, get along great with other dogs, and I’m always excited to make new human friends. I can be a bit vocal and will definitely bark when I want attention, and if I’m bored I might “redecorate” by destroying personal items—so I do best with someone who has time to keep me busy and loved. If you’re looking for a cuddly, social, and spirited companion, I might just be your girl. ??
Pets PUMPKIN - A159454
I am a neutered male Domestic Shorthair mix and I am about 10 years old
I’m a quiet indoor cat who’s having a hard time feeling safe in my current home, and I think I need a fresh start. I get so stressed that I often run away from my person and struggle to build trust. When visitors come over, I hide until everything feels calm again. I’m much braver when people sit or lie down—tall figures walking toward me are scary—but if you give me space and let me come to you, I relax. I truly love other cats and feel most at ease with feline friends around. I haven’t been around kids, so a calm, adult home would be best for me. With patience, gentleness, and a peaceful environment, I know I can be a loving companion.
Pets LUNA - A203013
I am a spayed female Labrador Retriever and Plott Hound and I am about 3 years old
Hey, I'm Sweetness! I may be a small 40-pound pup (closer to 60lbs once I am full grown), but I've got a big heart and an even bigger appetite for fun. I was found wandering a road until a kind-hearted hero brought me in. I'm so grateful for their help! Gentle, affectionate, and oh-so-playful, I'm the complete package. I love nothing more than cuddling up for some quality snuggle time, but I also have a playful side that comes alive when there are toys involved. Whether it's chasing balls or tugging on ropes, I'm always up for a good time. Not only am I a bundle of joy on my own, but I also get along famously with other dogs. Playdates are the best! I believe in spreading happiness wherever I go, and my endearing personality tends to win hearts instantly. If you're searching for a delightful companion to brighten your days, look no further. I'm Sweetness, and I'm ready to shower you with love, laughter, and a lifetime of unforgettable moments!
Pets BARRY - A217637
I am a neutered male Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd Dog and I am about 6 years old
Hi, I’m Barry, and I’m looking for a new place to call home—preferably wherever you are. I’m crate trained and housebroken, great with small kids, and I love sleeping in the bed (I’m basically a professional cuddler and part-time lap dog). I’m very affectionate, an enthusiastic face-licker, and I’ll happily follow you from room to room like it’s my job. I listen pretty well most of the time, but I do have a lot of feelings: I can be vocal, I whine if I’m not getting enough attention, and I might get a little destructive with personal items if I’m bored or lonely (sorry in advance). I’ve escaped the yard before, I’m not a big fan of being outside unless someone’s with me, and I haven’t been around cats, so that’s still a mystery. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving shadow who just wants to be close to his person as much as possible, I might be your guy. ??
Pets MAMA DOG - A211890
I am a spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier and I am about 4 years old
Pets DAPHNE - A218345
I am a spayed female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 8 years old
Hi, I’m Daphne. I’m looking for a new home because my current owner is moving soon and won’t be able to take me along due to space and time constraints. I’m a quiet, independent indoor cat who enjoys having my own space and a calm environment. I take gabapentin daily for possible hyperesthesia, and I do best with a routine. I’d probably be happiest in a home without small children, since I don’t like my tail, belly, or paws being touched, and I can get overstimulated. When visitors come over, I tend to hide until things feel safe again. I also need a good scratching post, as I like to keep my claws busy. If you’re patient and understanding, I’ll be a peaceful companion who simply enjoys sharing a quiet home with you.
Pets BING - A215169
I am a neutered male Labrador Retriever mix and I am about 3 years old
Hi there, my name’s Bing! I’m a lovable, high-energy pup in need of a new forever home because my owner's roommate is allergic—and honestly, I could really use more space to stretch my legs anyway. A bigger house with a fenced backyard would be a dream come true! I’m housebroken and crate trained, and while I do have some separation anxiety (what can I say, I love being around my people), I warm up to new folks super fast. I haven’t been around kids or cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d do there, but I promise I’m full of love and ready for adventure. I adore car rides, fetch is my favorite game, and I’d make the perfect running buddy. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who’ll keep you active and shower you with affection, I’m your guy!
Pets BARNEY - A216722
I am a neutered male Domestic Shorthair and I am about 3 years old
Pets MISTY - A216721
I am a unaltered female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 3 years old
Pets OKRA - A218711
I am a spayed female Treeing Walker Coonhound and I am about 4 years old
Hi, I’m Okra! I’m a sweet, cuddly girl looking for a new home where I can truly shine. My current human loves me very much, but we both know I’d do best in a home that fits my needs just a little better. Let me tell you about myself… I’m housebroken, well-mannered, and not destructive (no chewing up your favorite shoes here). I sleep in bed with my person—yes, I’m a certified cuddle bug—and I absolutely love cozy couch time just as much as I love getting outside to move. I’ve got a high-energy side, so I’d make an amazing running or walking partner, but I’m also a total couch potato when it’s time to relax. I love people. Like… really love them. I’m affectionate, very sweet, and I have a special way of tuning into how you’re feeling. My humans say I’m incredibly empathetic and intuitive—I can tell when you need comfort, and I’m always there for you. I bond deeply and just want to be your companion through everything. I know some commands like sit, shake, down, no, and climb, and I’m currently working hard in obedience training to keep improving. I’m smart and eager, and I do best with someone who understands dogs and can guide me with confidence. Now, I want to be honest: I can be a bit anxious, and because of that, I need to be the only pet in the home. I just feel safest and happiest when I don’t have to share my space. I can also be a little vocal—I like to express myself! My dream home would be with an experienced dog owner who has a yard where I can run and play, but who will also welcome me inside for lots of love, snuggles, and downtime. I thrive on connection and routine, and I’m happiest when I feel secure and understood. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, intuitive companion who will stick by your side through it all, I might just be your girl.
Pets ACE - A215951
I am a unaltered male American Staffordshire Terrier and Labrador Retriever and I am about 1 year and 3 months old
Hi there, my name is Ace! I’m a friendly, playful pup looking for a new home because my current family is relocating and sadly can’t take me with them. I’m crate trained, house trained, and I’ve been around little kids and even cats — I get along with just about everyone! Car rides are one of my favorite things, and I’ll happily tag along for any adventure. I do have a silly side…I really love tearing up paper, so keep an eye on the bathroom trash if you want it to stay intact! But mostly, I just love being around people, playing, and getting all the cuddles I can. I’ve got a big heart and lots of love to give — could I be your new best friend?
