Story
The Great Doggo SplitOnce upon a time in a bustling shelter, two Jack Russell Terriers named Bear and Benji lived a life filled with tail wags, mischief, and more than a few shenanigans. These two were the ultimate dynamic duo—think Batman and Robin, but with more fur and less crime-fighting. Bear, the larger of the two, had a flair for the dramatic, while Benji was the sweet, lovable sidekick who adored his brother and often found himself swept up in Bear's antics.After years of waiting for their forever homes, the staff at the shelter decided it was time for a big change. They sat Bear and Benji down for the talk. You know the one: Boys, you’re great together, but you might actually be too much together. Bear looked at Benji, and Benji looked at Bear. They knew this day would come—the day they’d be set free, but possibly in different directions.“I’m not saying we’re bad,” Bear said, licking his paw with all the confidence of a pup who had just stolen a whole steak off the kitchen counter. “I’m saying we’re… misunderstood. Right, Benji?”“Misunderstood?” Benji echoed, a plush, stuffing-free toy hanging from his mouth like a bizarre trophy. With that, Bear puffed out his chest. “We bring excitement! We’re like a rollercoaster! A thrilling ride of barks and zoomies! Plus, who doesn’t love a good game of tug-of-war that ends with us accidentally unrolling the entire toilet paper roll?”Benji nodded, recalling the glory of that epic mess. But deep down, he started to feel that maybe a little independence could be good for them. After all, he was the good-natured one—the model citizen who walked well on a leash, kept his kennel tidy, and had a soft spot for chewing on bones rather than stuffing-filled toys. Meanwhile, Bear’s enthusiasm sometimes turned their adventures into all-out doggy disasters.One sunny afternoon, after several rounds of heartwarming howls and wild wrestling matches, they finally agreed: “Alright, let’s give each other a chance to shine on our own!” It was a bittersweet decision, but the promise of loving homes was too enticing to ignore.So, with his tail wagging and heart racing, Benji is ready to strut his stuff for potential adopters. Meet Benji: 1322 DAYS and Counting with us! Disposition: True to the Jack Russell temperament No other animals: Benji needs a home where he is the sole focus. No children under 10: His environment should be calm and without young kids. Love for belly rubs and food: Benji enjoys affection and treats. Our adoption package includes:spay/neuter (when age appropriate)microchipfull vetting (including up to date vaccinations & deworming)

Story
He is a large breed, incredibly sweet, playful boy that has been with us for way too long.We actually had Donnie and his siblings as 5 week old puppies. He was adopted when he was still very young. See below for a picture of baby Donnie. Unfortunately he was found roaming the street several months later. We make a commitment to ALWAYS take our pets back. He came back to us over a year ago and has been here ever since.Donnie loves people and attention. He is super playful, but can play too rough if allowed. His favorite game is tug of War. His favorite toy is a stuffed unicorn. Donnie is selective about other dogs and has not been cat tested. He likes kids, but due to his size and playful personality we recommend children over 10. He is a large, healthy boy weighing in at around 70 pounds.Donnie enjoys running, playing with toys, rolling in his play yard, playing tug of war, and sleeping. He also loves the water hose. He dances for the water hose on a hot day.He walks very well on a leash, keeps a clean kennel, is up to date on vaccines, and is neutered. He is a volunteer favorite. And, he is an absolute goofball. Donnie is a big boy who loves to play! He was adopted as a puppy but returned when his family moved and couldn't take him with them. He does like other dogs, but can be selective. Not sure about cats. Loves to play with his toys and ball! He was once house trained but may need a refresher course. Donnie's DOB is 12/12/2020. Here is Donnie playing with Amos and Andi in the video.Our adoption package includes:-spayeuter (when age appropriate)-microchip-full vetting (including up to date vaccinations & deworming)

Story
Meet Dean, the canine connoisseur of bed lounging and belly rubs, who's been crashing at our place (the shelter) since March 2022. This furry cuddle machine is convinced he's a lap dog, and we haven't had the heart to tell him otherwise. When he's not auditioning for the role of most loyal pup ever, he's busy being a self-appointed security guard, keeping his territory safe from suspicious newcomers and rogue volunteers. Dean can be selective about people and dogs so if you have a furry friend already a meet and greet will be necessary. If Dean selects you though boy, he will be your furry companion and love all the attention he can get.Dean's got a bit of a diva streak with his allergies, but a few meds and he's good to go. He's on the lookout for a savvy dog parent with no small children – he's not interested in being anyone's jungle gym. If you're in the market for a fiercely loyal, protect-and-serve pup with a penchant for snuggles, Dean's your guy. Apply to adopt this four-legged legend today!Our adoption package includes:spay/neuter (when age appropriate)microchipfull vetting (including up to date vaccinations & deworming)
