Story
This sweet lady is Miss Pecan! Pecan is a walking ray of sunshine with a big ol' smile on her face! She came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by her previous family.Pecan is a higher energy girl that loves to play hard and love even harder. She does great in the fenced yard out back and seems to have a decent recall. She keeps a clean kennel through the day and is interested in making doggie friends. She did well during her cat-test but will still need slower introductions to the other furry household members.Pecan is as sweet as pie! Meet her and find out for yourself why we love this girl so much!**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 67lbs**

Story
Behold, the Queen of the Wiggle-Butts! Meet Astraea!Astraea came to us several months ago as s stray. Upon arrival, Astraea kept a very big secret from us. She was an expecting mama! Astraea gave birth to a litter of beautiful puppies who have all since been adopted out. Now, it's Mommy's turn to find her OWN happily ever after. This gorgeous gray girl can be a little particular on her likes and dislikes. She's a very woman-empowered pup and does way better meeting the ladies. Any man in the home will need to work to win over her trust and love. But with treats and patience, Astraea would likely be just fine. As for other animals, she has proven to prefer life as the solo pet. But don't worry, she has the love of a hundred dogs to give to her future family! When Astraea loves you she loves with her whole heart, you'll never ever have to question her loyalty. She loves going on long walks in the sunshine and walks beautifully in a harness (she does tend to pull a little when being walked with a collar!). Astraea does great with potty-training if let out regularly and would likely be fine in a crate if she were to be spending lengthy periods of time alone. This girl is literally the BEST! Her future humans will definitely have a super good girl on their hands. **Heartworm negative, scheduled to be spayed and microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention, she weighs about 55 lbs**

Story
Hi, I’m Bo. Life has been a little tough lately—I’ve been at the shelter for a few months now after being surrendered when my owner left me and my canine buddy alone in a house. My buddy has since found a home, and I’m hoping it’s my turn next. I’m a smart dog, but all this change has made me pretty anxious, and I really struggle when I’m left by myself for too long. Because of my past, I have some separation anxiety, so I’m looking for a home where I won’t be alone much.I’m also a strong boy and could use some help with my leash skills, but I do great in a fenced yard and always keep my kennel nice and clean. I’m just hoping to find a place where I can finally feel safe and loved again.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will appreciate your love and patience, I might just be the dog for you. I promise to give you all my heart in return. Could you be the one to help me start this new chapter in my life?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 64 lbs**

Story
Meet Handsome Man Tyson!This sight for sore eyes came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by his previous family. Not only is he, like, suuuper cute - he also has a great personality! He's very friendly with an endless amount of playful energy. Tyson is a pup that will definitely keep you up and moving with the perk of some hardcore cuddle time after he runs out of steam.We are still getting to know Mr. Tyson but so far he seems unbothered by the other shelter dogs and we have yet to cat-test him. As always, slow introductions with other potential furry siblings are a MUST!Looking for action-packed adventures? Add Tyson to your family!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 59 lbs**
