Story

I’m a 5-year-old Lab boy with a big heart, a big smile, and a whole lot of love to give. Life has been a little confusing lately—I came to the shelter after my owner couldn`t care for me anymore, but I know he loved me so so much and told me `Vegas, you`re a good boy and deserve a good life. I want to give you that chance, even if things might be confusing at first`. And so I ended up here, a bit out of sorts, but feeling better as I get to spend more time with people. I used to live with another senior dog named Charlie. He was a bit stressed here without me around, so the humans felt it best to keep us together. I know it`s harder for people to consider adopting 2 larger dogs, but we will keep each other busy and it will be double the love in your home!! What`s better than that??I love people. Like… a lot. I’m the kind of dog who will lean into you, melt into cuddles, and stay there for hours if you let me.When I’m excited (which is often), I might jump up or get a little mouthy—but I’m just trying to say hi!Being alone can make me worried, and sometimes I chew things to help myself feel better. But I can settle after a while—I think I just don`t want to be alone for the whole entire day you know? I`m an active dog and need lots of adventure and fun!The shelter has me doing a lot of marking (oops). I’m not neutered yet and everything here smells different, so I just need some patience and a refresher on house-training.What I’m really hoping for is someone who’s home more often, someone active who wants a fun, adventurous Lab to join them on life’s outings. If you want a loyal friend who will cuddle, play, and love you endlessly—I’m your guy, and I`d make such an excellent family dog!If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate companion, come meet me. I can’t wait to finally find my person.

Baxter

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Heyoooo, potential humans! My name is Baxter — part shepherd, part husky, and 100% dramatic main character. That’s right — I rooo, I narrate my life, I offer commentary on things only I can see, and occasionally I perform full Shakespearean monologues when my food bowl is empty. I am also extremely handsome, which I feel is important for you to know right away. I’m only a year old, so I’m still figuring out this whole “life” thing. I’m sweet, friendly, and will happily sit for treats like the polite little gentleman I am. At first I can be nervous — especially when my Emotional Support Human steps out of view — but once I warm up, I will shove my head directly into your hand like “hello yes pet me immediately.” On walks, I pull a little (I have things to investigate, okay?), but I’m not wild about it. I can be redirected ok, but will definitely need some help in this department. I LOVE treats (freeze-dried soft ones, please — I am a man of refined taste) and I LOVE attention. Toys? Eh. Maybe later, when I’m less nervous and more confident in my career as a household comedian. I’ve met strangers — cautiously at first — and dogs too! I bark a bit (I mean… I am part husky), sometimes for attention or because I have Important Thoughts. But once I settle, I’m soft-bodied, polite, and totally chill with a respectful dog friend. I do need a human who will help me learn how to be more of an inside dog, because I spent a lot of time outside in my past home. I want to learn! I just need someone patient who will show me that being indoors is safe and cozy and filled with snacks. I would prefer no apartment life (hallways are spooky, don’t ask), but a home with a yard? A calm dog friend? Respectful kids? Treats? Car rides??Oh baby. Now we’re talking. If you’re looking for: A talkative, sweet, slightly dramatic buddy…then hiiii, it’s me — Baxter, your future rooo-ing roommate.

Story

Well hello there, young whippersnapper. Name’s Charlie, and I’ve been around the block a few times—literally and figuratively. I’m a wise ol` yellow lab with a heart full of stories, a back touched by the years, and a spirit that still perks up at the sound of a friendly knock on the door. Life’s been a bit unsettled lately, so I can be anxious at first. But speak kindly, offer a gentle hand, and you’ll find I’m quick to soften. I walk just fine—with a little enthusiastic pulling here and there—and I know my sit and down. As for treats, I’ll only accept Benny’s Bullys. At my age, I’ve earned the right to be particular. When folks come to say hello, I’ll give one dignified bark, then shuffle over with a wiggle to greet them properly. Dogs get me awfully excited—sometimes too excited—so I’ll need patient, understanding canine friends. I came to the shelter through no fault of my own, and now I’m hoping for a quiet home with a yard where an old boy like me can stretch, sniff the breeze, and enjoy the simple things again. If you’re seeking a loyal companion with a gentle spirit and a wise old heart, I’d be honored to spend my sunset years by your side.

Story

Hi there, I’m Daisy, and I’ve been told I’m just about the wiggliest girl this side of the North Pole. If you’re looking for a sweet, festive companion to curl up with as the snow falls, I might just be your holiday miracle.I came to the shelter through no fault of my own, and even though new places can make me a little nervous at first, I warm up quickly. When I meet new people, my whole body wiggles like a string of Christmas lights, and I’m usually ready for treats, pets, and maybe even a little face-licking if you’re into that sort of thing. I walk nicely on leash most of the time, but if I get spooked or really want to investigate something, I can suddenly turn into a reindeer mid-takeoff. Don’t worry—I just need a moment to gather myself, a little encouragement, and I’m ready to keep going.I’m very polite about handling and don’t mind being petted all over, having my ears checked, or even someone peeking in my mouth. I know some tricks like sit, down, and paw, and I love showing them off—especially if you’ve got my favorite freeze-dried beef liver treats.When it comes to toys, I perk right up for squeakers and plushies. I’ll carry them proudly like a present I wrapped myself, but I’m also happy to trade for another toy or a treat. I’m gentle with chews and will even bring them over to lean against you for a cozy moment before wandering off again.I’ve met friendly dogs here and I really enjoy a respectful dog buddy. Even when the other dog gets loud or extra excited, I stay soft, wiggly, and playful, like I’m saying, “Happy holidays, friend!” Cats I haven’t officially met yet, but with slow introductions and a pet who knows dogs, I’d probably do just fine. Kids who understand that I can be a bit shy at first would be wonderful too.I’d be happy in an apartment or a house, as long as I get love, some playtime, and chances to build my confidence. I’m a cuddler, a treat-lover, and a medium-energy girl who just wants to be near her people. Most of all, I’m ready to settle in with a family who will help me shine as bright as the star on top of the tree.If you’re looking for a gentle sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger wiggle, come meet me. I’d love to spend my first Christmas in my new forever home—maybe with you.

Story

Hi hi hiiii! I’m Ginger Snap — yes, like the cookie — and I’m basically the Christmas spirit wrapped in fur, wiggles, and pure holiday chaos!I came from a tougher past, but don’t you worry… now I’m the life of the party. Think of me as a spicy surprise in your stocking — sweet, warm-hearted, and just a touch wild. Okay fine, more than a touch. I’m a whole gingerbread tornado.I LOVE people. Love them so much that I cannot control my reindeer legs and bounce all over them like a kid who found the presents early. And food? Ohhhh buddy… if you leave it on the counter, it magically becomes my treat. I’m basically a four-legged Christmas elf with zero self-control.And remember — I’m still a puppy, which means I’ve got the attention span of a snowflake in a snow globe. I’ll need lots of patience, training, consistency, and someone who can help teach me how to be the best Ginger Snap I can be. I promise I learn fast… I’m just very, very excited about everything.But here’s the thing: I truly am a sweetheart. Snuggly, silly, joyful, and ready to bring a ton of sparkle into someone’s home. I’m high energy, a bit of a wild child, and definitely still working on my manners — but I’ll make your days brighter, your nights cozier, and your holiday season extra spicy.If you’re looking for a Ginger Snap who’s equal parts sugar, spice, and festive mischief… come meet me! I’ll be the one jingling with excitement.

Story

Hi there, I’m Blue! I’m a 4-month-old Alaskan Husky boy with a big heart, a big voice, and even bigger zoomies. I’m a sweet, affectionate little guy who loves people, and all I really want is a human who has the time and patience to help me grow into my very best self. I’ve got energy for days—Husky-level, tornado-in-fur energy—so I’m hoping to find an active human who enjoys walks, playtime, adventures, or just laughing while I bounce around like the silly fluffball I am. I’m still learning my manners and the basics, but I’m smart, eager, and I love making my people proud. If you already have a dog at home, I’d prefer a respectful, gentle buddy. I’m still young and figuring things out, so the pushy, in-my-face types make me a little uncomfortable. But with a kind canine friend, I’d be so excited to play, learn, and grow together. If you’re searching for a sweet, goofy, high-energy partner in adventure—and snuggles—I might just be your guy. I can’t wait to show you my happy wiggles and maybe steal your heart.
