Story
Introducing Axel: The Energetic Pup Ready for His Fresh Start! (case #01-06-OTC-06) Meet Axel, an 8-month-old American Bulldog cross with a heart as big as his paws! This playful, curious pup arrived as an unclaimed stray with his brother, and while they share a similar temperament, Axel is ready to find his own path and start a brand-new adventure with his forever family. Axel is a smart, spirited young dog who has a lot to learn, but he’s eager to soak up knowledge and grow. He’s got a wonderful, friendly nature, but like any young pup, he’ll benefit from some training classes to help him become the well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. With the right guidance and consistency from his new family, Axel will thrive and become the confident, well-behaved boy we know he can be. A wise and steady dog in his new home would be a perfect mentor for Axel, helping him learn the ropes and adjust to his new routine. Axel is also a great candidate for a home with small animals and cats, as long as introductions are done slowly and carefully. His friendly nature makes him a promising match for households with other pets. One thing to keep in mind: Axel has a serious appetite! He arrived with an eagerness for food, and while there are no signs of food guarding at this time, he’ll benefit from a foster or adopter who is willing to work on food games and trading exercises to help him build confidence and prevent any potential issues down the line. Axle is currently in a foster home with a cat and a senior dog. He is respectful of their space and is doing well sleeping in a crate at nighttime. He is a fast learner and is catching on quickly, learning that he cannot put his paws on the counter or go on the couch. Axel may still be a work in progress, but his loving, curious nature is just waiting to shine with the right family. If you’re ready to invest time and patience into helping Axel grow into the best version of himself, he’ll reward you with endless love, loyalty, and joy. Ready to give Axel the fresh start he’s dreaming of? Complete an adoption application for this charming boy today and see how quickly he’ll steal your heart!

Labrador Retriever

Story
Meet Daphne!! (case #02-03-177-05) Daphne came into care as an unclaimed stray. She was shy upon arrival but has since come out of her shell and has turned into a sweet, playful little pup. Daphne would likely do well in a home with another dog. She will need her new owner to expose her to new situations in a safe and controlled manner to continue to gain confidence. Meeting new people and well-mannered dogs will also help to grow in a positive direction. Being a young girl, obedience classes would be essential to setting her up for future success and good behaviour as an adult. Daphne is not very jumpy so a home with kids may be okay (with excellent supervision and boundaries set for both her and the kids). Daphne is still a puppy. She is looking for her forever home to grow old and experience the best life with as your new loyal companion!

Story
Meet Keith!! (case #02-03-177-07) Keith is a 4-month-old lab mix with a bit of bully and maybe some hound in his mix—he’s got the perfect blend of energy, charm, and puppy sweetness! This little guy was found as an unclaimed stray, but he’s quickly become a total people pleaser and a dog’s best friend! Keith is well-socialized with both people and other dogs, but he's still growing and learning about new places, faces, and situations. He’s in that critical phase of puppyhood where positive experiences make all the difference! A family that loves introducing Keith to new adventures, people, and environments will help him grow into a confident and well-adjusted adult dog. Though Keith has a lot of heart and affection, he’s still a blank slate when it comes to training. He’s eager to please and ready to soak up all the lessons you have for him. He would thrive in obedience classes and is definitely looking for a family committed to teaching him the ropes! With his love for long walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, Keith would do best with an active family who has the time and patience to keep him busy. Think of all the fun enrichment games and adventures you could have together! Ready for a furry friend who will give you endless love in return for some positive training, exercise, and plenty of attention? Keith is your guy! So, if you're an active family with time to train and snuggle, Keith would be lucky to join your crew! He’s got so much to offer, and with your guidance, he’ll grow into the perfect, well-mannered companion.

I enjoy hanging out with the staff here, and I get along with my fellow dog friends—playtime is one of my favorite activities! I’m a smart boy too!

Meet Baker!! (case #02-06-OTC-01) Name: Baker Age: 2 years old Breed: American Bulldog Cross Personality: Shy but sweet, affectionate, and playful Health: In good health but will need to be neutered Interviewer: Baker, you're a bit of a mystery! Can you tell us a little about yourself? Baker: Well, I was found as a stray, and I guess I’ve been a little unsure of the world since then. I’m still warming up to people, but once I trust you, I’m all about affection. I’m a bit shy at first, but give me some time, and I’ll be your best friend. I love running around outside, and I can be really playful once I get comfortable. Interviewer: What kind of home would you like to have, Baker? Baker: I need a family who understands that I’m still learning about the world and need some patience. A home with other dogs would be great because I really enjoy playing with them. I’d like someone who can take me on lots of walks and help me get the exercise I need. It’s important for me to have a lot of activity to keep me happy and healthy! Interviewer: What about your training needs? Baker: Well, I’m still learning a lot! I don’t know any commands just yet, and I tend to pull on the leash when I’m walked. But I’m a quick learner, and I would thrive in obedience classes! Positive reinforcement works wonders for me. I just need someone who can help me build confidence and teach me the right way to behave on a leash. Interviewer: It sounds like you're a fun dog with a lot of potential! What makes you special? Baker: I’m sweet and affectionate, and once I feel safe, I’ll shower you with love! I’m still a bit shy, but with time, I’ll open up and show you just how loyal I can be. I love to run and play, and I’d be the perfect companion for a family who loves the outdoors. And I think I’d really thrive with another dog to show me the ropes and help keep me active. Interviewer: Do you have any advice for potential adopters? Baker: If you’re looking for a loving, playful dog with a little bit of a shy side, I could be the one for you. I just need someone who’s patient and ready to help me build my confidence. In return, I promise to be your loyal buddy, always ready to run, play, and snuggle when the time is right! Conclusion: Baker is a sweet, affectionate boy with a lot of potential. He’ll need a family who’s committed to giving him exercise, training, and patience as he works on building his confidence and learning commands. If you’re ready to help this lovable pup become his best self, you won’t regret bringing Baker into your home!

Story
Meet Glacier!! (case #02-07-OTC-03) Meet Glacier, the 3-year-old pupper who came to the shelter as an unclaimed stray and immediately claimed our hearts with his irresistible charm. From the moment he arrived, he was the life of the party—no drama, just pure love and fun. He’s the kind of dog who knows how to entertain himself, throwing toys around like he’s training for the Dog Olympics (spoiler alert: he’s winning gold). Glacier’s a laid-back dude who knows how to chill with the best of them, but when it’s playtime? He’s like a turbocharged snowball of fun! He’s ready to turn up the volume and race around the yard with the enthusiasm of a dog on a mission (or a dog who just realized it’s playtime). A big, fenced-in yard would be his personal playground. He’s got a calm energy, but when the toys come out, he’s all in. Think of him as your personal canine jester—he loves to entertain, especially when it involves his human companions. Glacier might even be cool with another dog in the home if you do the proper intros and keep an eye on things at first. But small animals? He’s still figuring out the whole “friends or food?” thing. Like all smart dogs, Glacier would benefit from some obedience classes to make sure he stays the good boy we know he can be. A little guidance never hurt anyone—especially when it leads to an even better bond between Glacier and his new family. Glacier is a very handsome, exceptional Sheppy with a personality as striking as his looks. If you’re an experienced dog owner who’s ready to welcome this charming, energetic guy into your life, Glacier’s waiting to bring his snowy-cool vibes to your home. Let’s make it official and adopt this playful, loving, and slightly goofy guy into your family today!
