Story
Hi there! I'm Maura, and my journey started in November 2022 when I arrived at the shelter, expecting to become a mom. Thanks to the incredible care I received, my puppies all found loving homes, and now it's my turn to find mine! I'm not just your average dog—I'm playful and charming. I absolutely adore tug toys, and I'm a big fan of kids. I can even show off a few tricks like sitting, spinning, and maybe a little dance move or two! But what really makes me special is my infectious smile and loving nature. If you're looking for a furry friend who will bring endless joy and companionship into your life, look no further. I'm ready to be your loyal companion and best friend. Come meet me—I promise to wiggle my way into your heart!

Story
Hey there! I'm Harvey, and I'm super pumped to meet you! Since March 2023, I've been chilling at the humane society, making pals with volunteers and my fellow doggos. Can you believe someone tied me to a pole at Tractor Supply? Crazy, right? But guess what? I've turned that frown upside down—I'm all about that water life now! Splashing around and having a blast is my jam! I can get a bit jittery meeting new playmates, so I'd love to sniff out any potential siblings first. Got a big, goofy space in your heart for a guy like me? I promise to fill your days with belly laughs, wagging tails, and maybe a few soggy hugs. Let's jump into this next chapter together—swing by and let's see if we click! • Spay/Neuter • Annual Vaccines • Rabies (if of age) • Heartworm Testing • Preventative • Microchipping To express your interest, please complete an adoption application: https://www.gatewayareahumanesociety.com/application-to-adopt
