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
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**

Story
Meet Kiwi! This spotted sweetheart is looking for a forever home! Kiwi’s got that special something- a mix of Dalmatian spots, a heart of gold, and such a sweet disposition. She, along with her sister Guava, found their way to us very recently as strays. Kiwi may take a little time to warm up, but once she does you’ll meet an affectionate companion who’s ready to fill your life with love! Kiwi is still getting the hang of walking on leash but she is making progress each and every day. She’s done excellent about keeping a tidy kennel, leading us to believe she is housebroken. Kiwi seems to be dog-friendly, given her close bond with Guava. We have not yet tested her with cats or kids. Ready to add a little sweetness to your life? Apply for Kiwi today!

Story
Meet Edward-though friends call him Ed, and he's hoping you will too! This big, lovable guy may have come to us as a stray, but he's ready to leave those days behind and settle into a life full of love and fun. Despite his strong and sturdy looks, Ed is really just a giant puppy at heart, always eager for attention and affection. He's great with kids and has a soft spot for making them laugh, but he'd definitely prefer to be your one and only furry friend at home. Ed's still working on his leash manners (he doesn't know his own strength!), so a fenced yard would be ideal for him to romp and play. If you're looking for a sweet, goofy companion to fill your days with joy, Ed just might be your guy!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 67 lbs**

Story
Meet Reese, the sweetest Rottweiler mix you'll ever meet! This gorgeous girl may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, she’ll steal your heart. Behind her kennel door, she might seem a bit intimidating—she's just cautious with strangers—but give her a chance, and you'll discover a snuggly, loyal companion who will love you with her whole heart.Reese came to us as a stray, her nose and body covered in scabs that tell the story of a tough past. She’s been a momma once or twice, but now it’s her turn to be cared for. While she seems to warm up a bit faster to women, she’s done wonderfully with our male kennel attendants too.Reese gets her name from the chocolate candy because she’s just as sweet and melts right into you when she feels safe. Slow introductions are key for Reese when meeting other dogs, as she can be selective with intense personalities. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet.If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, and snuggly best friend, Reese could be your perfect match. Fill out an adoption application for her and see if she’s the one to melt your heart! 🐾❤️**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 60 lbs**
