Story
Bowser's soulful eyes and big smile are just a glimpse into his truly silly demeanor! He experienced a tough life but he's ready to show you how he's blossomed as he now knows what love feels like. Bowser is a bit guarded when meeting new people but given a little time to trust, he quickly warms and the wiggles begin. Toys are his security (especially the squeaky ones!). At just 4 years old (40 lbs.), he's the perfect package of playfulness, affection and curiosity. He's also an outdoor enthusiast who loves long trail walks with a few stops along the way to soak up some sun and belly rubs. Indoors, he transforms into the perfect snuggler who just wants to cozy up with his humans. Bowser will need to meet any potential canine companions to ensure compatibility with his new playmate! He's enjoyed some playtime with shelter pups and his confidence soars with a buddy! His history with cats is unknown. A calm, adult only home is best for Bowser. Bowser can be met by appointment only, given his superstar status! If you're interesting in meeting him, fill out an application today!

Sammy is a sweet, shy soul looking for a quiet, patient home to help her blossom. Once she feels secure, you'll get to see her playful personality shine! Sammy has so much love to give and needs a family who will help her build confidence, at her own pace, and learn life can be full of fun adventures. She is an avid runner with lots of energy who adores chasing after her toys! With patience, love, and some positive reinforcement, Sammy will make a loyal and loving companion. Sammy's ideal home should be calm where she can feel safe as she learns to trust again. While we don't know much about her background, she has shown a bit of fear with men. She will do best as the only canine in the home. Sammy lived with a cat in her previous home; with proper introduction she may be fine. Sammy would prefer an adult only home.

Story
Stanley and Manley are two inseparable buddies who came into our care after being spotted roaming the streets together. It took some teamwork to bring them in, though! Manley was caught first, but Stanley proved to be more elusive. Then, in a heartwarming twist, a quick-thinking animal control officer brought Manley along on a field trip to retrieve Stanley. The moment Stanley realized his best friend was close, he bravely emerged from the woods and trotted right to the officer's vehicle, ready to stick by his buddy's side. Since then, Stanley and Manley have been through a lot together. They've received the medical treatment they needed and are now happy, healthy, and even more bonded. The pair absolutely adores spending time together, whether they're going for long walks, romping around in playtime, or curling up for some serious cuddle sessions. Both Stanley and Manley can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with each other by their side, their confidence shines. They're looking for a forever family that will welcome them both and give them the love they deserve. If you're ready for twice the love, twice the loyalty, and endless heartwarming moments, Stanley and Manley are the perfect duo for you! Manley - Chihuahua/Mix Age: 10 Neutered Male 12.1 pounds
