Story
Hey there, I'm Bauman 'Bo', but you can call me Bo. I'm a young, playful, friendly, brave, and smart lad with the energy of an early bird. My tale? It's as funny as it gets. Once upon a time, I was chasing my tail, a classic dog pastime, right? But I spun so fast I got dizzy and fell into a laundry basket. The humans must have thought I was a load of dirty clothes and they brought me somewhere strange and accidentally forgot me when they left. Oops! But don't worry, I've got plenty of tail-chasing and laundry-basket-avoiding left in me. Adopt me, and let's make some fun, tail-chasing, laundry-basket-avoiding memories together! $300 for BONDED pair (rather than $200 each for $400 total)

Story
Hi there, I'm Deacon! Life at the shelter is pretty cool, but I'm aching for a home of my own. I'm a mellow fellow who loves to goof around. My friends here say I'm a sweet, loyal companion. I've got a unique wiggle-waddle walk that makes everyone chuckle. I'm the kind of dog who loves to lounge around, but I also enjoy a good play session. I'm friendly with everyone I meet, and I'm always ready to give out kisses. I promise to be your loyal companion and bring joy to your life. Adopting me means gaining a forever friend who will always be there to make you smile. (I'm "special needs"--I am deaf.)

Story
Hello, I'm Sunday. I'm still a pup, learning about the world around me. I've been told I'm smart, gentle, sweet, and brave. I guess I am. I like to figure out puzzles and I'm always gentle with my toys. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'm as sweet as can be. I'm brave too, facing every new day with courage. I thrive on routine; it makes me feel secure. Breakfast, play, nap, repeat. That's my perfect day. I'm hoping for a forever home where I can be loved for who I am. Adopt me and let's make every day a Sunday. $300 for BONDED pair (rather than $200 each for $400 total)
