Let me help you heal your childhood trauma by introducing you to Puddles, the dog who's ready to jump right into those puddles you never got to enjoy! This dude is all about two things: people and water-his absolute faves! At just 1 year old and a solid 70 lbs, he's living life to the fullest, no matter the season. Seriously, this pup is the ultimate vibe when it comes to splashing around. Plus, he's potty and crate trained, which is a total win. And let's be real, he's also the GOAT when it comes to snacks-he's never met a treat he didn't love! Puddles is great with kids too, making him the perfect family companion. If you're ready to chill with him, come on through-trust me, the water's just fine. Puddles is fully healthy and up to date on his vaccines. His adoption fee is currently $0, and we have adoption specials monthly; be sure to check in with us at info@mehs.org to learn of any specials!

Story
Peanut Butter first arrived looking less like a dog and more like a bullfrog. Her neck was so swollen from surviving an attack that we needed bolt cutters to remove her chain. She was shut down in a big way, but we're happy to report those days are close to being FAR behind her! She's ready for her #MEHSHappyTails that she keeps hearing all about. Will you help her find it? Peanut Butter is: - Potty & crate trained -Good with kids and dogs - Amazing on a leash (but will stop in front of you and throw her belly up for some love!) - Gentle with her toys and loves her blankets! This girl is born to snuggle! - Currently living in a foster home and loving every second of spending her days by the pool and her nights catching up on Bridgerton - Playful! Anyone interested in meeting her should submit an application through our website, https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MEHS/Dog. We will follow up to process the app and schedule a time to meet Peanut Butter. Questions can be directed to info@mehs.org.

Story
In life, there comes a moment when we don't realize it will be the last time we embrace our childhood teddy bear. For Teddy, this happened with his previous owners. Unfortunately, Teddy and his family were never able to find each other after becoming separated, which is all too common in the animal shelter world. Teddy is looking for someone who wants him to be their new teddy bear, as he truly loves nothing more than cuddling up on a couch or bed and snoozing. Teddy is the perfect companion for your home, as he is fully potty and crate trained. He packs a mean snore, so be prepared for your teddy to act as your personal sound machine and snore you to sleep each night. Don't make this teddy bear wait any longer for his new owner-adopt him today! Teddys adoption fee is $0. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.mehs.org/adoptables If you are interested in learning more about all of our adoptables or the adoption process at MEHS, please email info@mehs.org All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.
