  Meet Catty, a stunning 3-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog and American Pit Bull Terrier mix with eyes that tell a story and a heart ready to bloom. Though she arrived as a stray with a bit of a mystery past, her gentle soul shines through her initial shyness. Catty is currently navigating the world with a quiet, nervous curiosity, but she is the definition of a "diamond in the rough." With a patient family and a predictable routine, we know this soulful girl will transform into a loyal, affectionate companion. She is looking for a soft place to land-a home where she can take things at her own pace and finally learn what it feels like to be truly cherished. If you have a calm environment and a little extra love to give, Catty is ready to be your new best friend.

 Meet Claire, a gentle soul who believes that the best friendships are built with time and a little bit of patience. ðŸŒļ While she can be hesitant and shy when meeting new people, Claire is a true diamond in the rough who just needs a quiet space to feel secure. 💎 Once she realizes she is safe, her bashful exterior melts away to reveal a loyal companion who quietly seeks out your company. She is incredibly motivated by treats, which is the "secret key" to winning her heart and making her feel brave in new situations! ðŸĶī✨ To help her feel her best, Claire needs a loving home with no cats or other small animals. ðŸšŦðŸąðŸđ For a patient adopter, there is nothing more rewarding than the moment Claire decides you are her person and nudges your hand for affection. If you have a calm, pet-free home and a pocket full of snacks, Claire is ready to be your most devoted friend! 🏠💕

CHANCE #381251 listed as Shepherd, 8 mths 64 lbs (and growing)
 
*no children
Meet Chance, a sensitive and loyal soul who is looking for a patient partner to help him shine! While he can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, Chance is a "fast friend" who transforms into a wiggly, affectionate companion once he knows he's safe. In fact, once he warms up, he's known to flop over for belly rubs and lean in close for all the pets you're willing to give. Because Chance finds the big world a little intimidating, he is looking for an adult-only home (kids 16+) where his family can help him navigate new introductions at his own pace. He's a smart boy who already knows how to sit for treats and is highly motivated to learn and please his person. If you're looking for a devoted sidekick who will stick by your side and offer endless play bows once the ice is broken, Chance might be the perfect match for you.

ðŸšĻ ADOPTER NEEDED: Meet Bean, the King of Eye Contact! ðŸšĻ Have you ever had a dog look into your soul? That's just a Tuesday for Bean! This 3-year-old survivor has been through a major glow-up and is officially ready to find his forever family. 🌟 ✅ Housetrained Hero: Perfect house manners and respects your belongings. ✅ World-Class Snuggler: Melts into you for chest scratches and ear rubs. ✅ Dog Social: Interested, polite, and ready for neighborhood walks. ✅ Smarty-Pants: Knows his commands and lives to please his people. 
 
 
The "Bean" Basics: Bean is a big, strong, happy boy! Because he gets so wiggly and excited when his favorite people come home, he's looking for a family with older kids who won't mind his "happy jumps." He's a total "velcro dog" who wants to be wherever you are-under the kitchen table, at your feet, or (ideally) in your lap. He's handled his medical recovery like a champ and is now a certified "Handsome Boy" according to everyone he meets on the street. Can you give this devoted companion the active, loving home he's been dreaming of?

GUS GUS #382112 Breed: Siberian Husky, male 2 yrs 59 lbs
 
*foster home 
 
 Meet Gus Gus, a 2-year-old Husky mix who is looking for a patient soul to help him find his brave. ðŸū Unlike the typical high-energy, vocal Husky, Gus Gus is a quiet observer who finds the big, loud world a little bit overwhelming right now. ☁️ He is a "sensitive soul" in every sense of the word, preferring soft whispers and slow movements over fast-paced adventures. While he might start a meeting by tucking his tail or hiding behind a friendly leg, his gentle eyes tell you exactly how much he wants to be loved-he just needs to know he's safe first. 🏠 Gus Gus is the ultimate "slow-burn" companion who truly blossoms once he knows the routine of a calm, quiet home. ✨

  He finds a lot of confidence in the company of other dogs, so a confident furry sibling to show him the ropes would be a huge plus for his progress! 🐕 Once he realizes you're his person, he trades his shyness for sweet "lean-ins" and soft tail wags that make the wait entirely worth it. ðŸĶī If you have a quiet corner, a pocket full of treats, and a heart big enough for a project dog, Gus Gus is ready to show you just how loyal a rescued heart can be. ðŸ§Ą

Meet Milo, a 110-pound "gentle giant" with a heart just as massive as his paws! ðŸū This handsome German Shepherd mix is a true nature enthusiast who spent much of his life mastering the art of the great outdoors; while he's currently finding the indoor kennel life a bit overwhelming, his resilient spirit shines through the moment he meets a friendly face. Milo is an Olympic-level socialite with people once he gets to know them and a connoisseur of all things yummy - though he's currently trading in the "junk food" for some healthier snacks to keep his physique in tip-top shape. ðŸĨĶ He is dreaming of a dedicated forever family and a kingdom of his own: a home with a securely fenced yard where he can lounge in the sun and sniff the breeze to his heart's content. If you have room in your heart (and on your rug) for a loyal, soulful companion who just needs a little extra love to feel safe again, Milo is ready to meet his match! 🏠✨

 Meet Galan! This handsome Shepherd mix is an exuberant, happy-go-lucky boy who is ready to find his forever family! Galan is incredibly affectionate and loves people, but he is still learning how to express his excitement politely and can be a bit over-eager with his paws and mouth when he is having fun. Because he is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor and learning gentle play, he needs a home with children aged 12 and up ðŸū. He is a social butterfly with humans but wants to be the star of the show, so he must be the only dog in his new home 🐕. He is highly motivated by treats, which makes working on his manners a breeze, and he would thrive in an active environment where he can burn off energy through hikes or long walks. Galan's playful spirit and loving nature are sure to bring endless joy to a family ready to help him polish his social skills ðŸŽūðŸŽū
