Story
This 4-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix is the definition of a lovable goofball. With her quintessential Staffy face and those deep, soulful eyes, Stella has a way of melting hearts instantly — and her personality is just as beautiful. Stella is full of energy and absolutely loves her zoomies! She enjoys playtime with toys (tug is her favorite!) and can keep herself entertained, but nothing makes her happier than spending time with her people. She’s affectionate, eager to please, and has no concept of personal space — she’ll happily climb right into your lap for cuddles and attention. When it comes to other dogs, Stella can get a little overexcited at first, so slow and controlled introductions are important. She’s great with kids, but would do best in a home without cats. This smart girl is potty-trained and already knows her basic commands. She is crate-trained, but the chaotic shelter environment tends to stress her out, causing her to push her snout against her crate (hence the redness seen around her nose and lips). However, we're working with her to help her be more comfortable here, and she's getting better every day. Stella is searching for a family who can give her the exercise, structure, and love she needs to thrive — and in return, she’ll shower you with all the loyalty and affection you could ever want. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart (and an even bigger personality), Stella might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Taylor, a 3.5-month-old mixed-breed sweetheart whose light coat and bright eyes give him a stunning, one-of-a-kind look. With his classic puppy-dog eyes and gentle expression, he’s impossible not to fall in love with. Taylor is a toy enthusiast through and through—if it squeaks, rolls, or can be chewed, he’s a fan! He loves making new friends and plays well with dogs of all sizes. Though he can be a little shy when meeting new people, a bit of patience and affection is all it takes for him to warm up and show his goofy, loving personality. He has all the puppy excitement you’d expect at his age and is ready to explore everything life has to offer. This adorable boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and kids. He’s still learning not to bark at cats, but with his gentle nature, we’re confident he can learn to get along with feline friends in time. Taylor is making great progress with both potty-training and crate-training and is very close to mastering them. Taylor would thrive in a home ready to give a quieter, sensitive puppy the chance to blossom. With a little love and encouragement, he’ll show just how fun, affectionate, and loyal he truly is. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to grow with your family, Taylor may be your perfect match.

Story
Just one look at this guy and you’ll see exactly how he got his name — Happy’s signature smile never leaves his face. Whether he’s lounging beside his favorite person, romping around with his dog friends, or playing with a toy, he radiates pure joy. At 2.5 years old and about 70 pounds, Happy is a mixed-breed bundle of sunshine who truly loves life. He makes friends with every person and dog he meets and would be the perfect adventure buddy for anyone with a moderate to active lifestyle. Happy especially loves being outside, where he can stretch his legs, feel the breeze on his fur, and get in all the sniffs his heart desires. Sometimes he forgets he’s not a lap dog and will try to wiggle right into your lap for cuddles — he just has that much love to give! He’s potty-trained and crate-trained, though he’s still working on polishing up his basic manners. Happy gets along well with other dogs, though he’s still learning to respect boundaries during playtime. He's a big boy and has a mild prey drive, so he'd do best in a home without cats. With his infectious joy and go-with-the-flow attitude, Happy would fit right in with just about any loving home. If you’re looking for a companion who finds delight in every little moment, this cheerful guy is ready to make your days brighter!

Story
At just 1 year old, Emerald is the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and affectionate companionship. This lovable girl came to us from a busy shelter in Louisiana, where the stressful environment took a toll on her—her fur even began to fall out, leaving her with the patchy coat she sports today. But don’t let that worry you: in our calmer setting, Emerald has absolutely blossomed, and her beautiful tricolor coat is already growing back in nicely. Emerald’s kind eyes and cheerful personality make her impossible not to adore. She’s still very much in her puppy phase, which means endless entertainment for anyone watching her play. Her clumsy, goofy antics only make her more charming! Whether it’s a game of chase (her favorite), wrestling with a canine friend, or sharing a toy, Emerald is always up for fun. She loves toys and bones and plays with enthusiasm—never pushy or dominant—making her an excellent playmate for dogs of all kinds. When she’s not busy romping around, Emerald is all about love. She is incredibly affectionate and can’t get enough snuggles. She’ll happily climb into your lap, give you kisses, and soak up all the attention she can get. After a good play session, this silly girl will plop down and fall asleep just about anywhere. Emerald is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and she does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids. She’s truly an all-around sweetheart. If you’re looking for a fun-spirited, goofy, and deeply loving companion who’s ready for a fresh start, Emerald might just be your perfect match. She hasn’t had the easiest beginning, but she’s more than ready to give all her love to a family of her own.
