Story
EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Teacher’s Pet FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Social LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Veni, Vidi, Vici! (I Came, I Saw, I Conquered Your Heart!) All hail Droolius Caesar! While his name might suggest a mighty emperor, this 4-year-old Lab mix is actually the gentlest soul in the kingdom. Droolius is the 'Perfect Package' you’ve been searching for. He has mastered the art of the leash and is a world-class fetch enthusiast. While he is a brave conqueror of tennis balls, he prefers a quiet, mature palace. The high energy and unpredictable 'small humans' of the kingdom can be a bit much for his sophisticated tastes, so he’s looking for a home with older children or adults only. If you’re looking for a dog who is already a 'good boy' through and through, Caesar is ready to rule your heart from the comfort of a soft sofa.

Story
Meet the shelter’s very own "Central Park" duo! Gloria, a spirited 2-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, and Melman, a charmingly awkward 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix, are a package deal of goofiness just like their Madagascar namesakes. Whether they’re navigating the "wilds" of the play yard or just trying to figure out where their long legs are supposed to go when they sit, these two are guaranteed to keep you laughing with their quirky personalities and endearing clumsiness. Gloria brings that classic youthful energy and vocal Husky charm, while Melman provides the slightly more seasoned, "worried-but-happy" vibe that makes him so lovable. They balance each other out perfectly—where one goes, the other is sure to follow, usually with a wagging tail and a look of pure confusion about what’s happening next. They are a true pair of best friends who find comfort and confidence in being together, making them a ready-made family for anyone looking to double the love. If your home has enough room for two big hearts and a lot of goofy antics, Gloria and Melman are ready to "move it, move it" right into your life. They are looking for an adopter who appreciates the unique bond of a bonded pair and is ready for a lifetime of awkward cuddles and double the tail wags.

Story
EXERCISE NEEDS: Marathoner EASE OF TRAINING: Capable FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Party Animal FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Prefers People LEASH MANNERS: Mush! Memphis is a 2.5-year-old Lab mix with a heart of gold and energy to burn! Memphis finds herself looking for a new adventure after her previous owners surrendered her to prepare for a new baby. This vibrant girl is a literal powerhouse of potential—she’s strong, spirited, and has a "go-go-go" personality that is looking for an equally active partner to help her shine. Memphis is a "blank slate" in the best way possible. While she’s still learning her manners—she tends to pull on the leash and expresses her excitement with jumps and mouthy play—she has the classic Lab-mix desire to be right in the middle of the action. Because she reacts strongly to other dogs (even her own reflection!) and has never lived with other animals, she’s looking to be the sole queen of her castle, or an owner who is willing to allow her to slowly and safely learn to love others as much as she is loved. With a patient leader who is ready to invest in some training, Memphis is going to be a world-class companion.

Story
EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Willing FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Prefers People LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes If your favorite part of the day is snuggling on the couch, meet your soulmate: Peanut Butter. This 2-year-old Yellow Lab mix is a world-class lap dog who truly believes she’s the size of a Chihuahua. She lives for kisses, cuddles, and being as close to her humans as possible. Are you ready for a love that’s smooth, creamy, and totally nuts? This 2-year-old Yellow Lab mix who is searching for her "better half!" She may be a Tripawd due to a leg deformity, but don’t let that fool you—she has a "spreadable" joy that hasn't slowed her down one bit. She’s a high-speed wiggle butt who is always ready to roll! Peanut Butter is a total cuddlebug and a self-appointed lap dog. She’s incredibly food motivated (yes, she loves the real stuff too!) and is already a pro on the leash. While she is the sweetest girl with humans and gives the best kisses, she is very choosy about her canine companions and can be dog reactive. Because of this, she’s looking for a "single-serving" home where she can be your one-and-only. If you’re looking for a loyal, 3-legged best friend to stick by your side like… well, peanut butter to a roof of a mouth… then she’s the girl for you! Come meet her and see if you’re the jam she’s been waiting for. Pro-Tips for Peanut Butter's New Jam: -The "Tripod Advantage": Tripod dogs often need a little extra joint support as they age. There are several highly-rated orthopedic beds and specialized harnesses that help take the pressure off their remaining limbs. -Managing Reactivity: Since she’s a "food-motivated" Lab mix, using high-value treats (like actual peanut butter!) during walks can help redirect her focus away from other dogs. -The "Wiggle Butt" Safety: Because she only has three legs, her "wiggle" can sometimes lead to a loss of balance on slippery floors. Non-slip rugs or toe grips can be a game-changer for her at home!

Story
EXERCISE NEEDS: Weekend Athlete EASE OF TRAINING: Willing FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Bashful PLAYFULNESS: Amateur FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Almost Never Pulls Meet Bronco, a nearly three-year-old Lab mix with a heart as big as his "wiggle butt" once he knows he can trust you. Though he’s a handsome "tri-pawd" following a past attack, his missing limb doesn’t slow him down one bit—he is a high-energy, food-motivated boy who is always eager to show off his basic commands for a tasty reward. While he can be a bit shy at first, the reward for your patience is a dog who becomes totally smitten; once you are in his inner circle, he is a dedicated "velcro dog" whose people are his entire world. He is incredibly affectionate and thrives on the bond he shares with his family, though he does have specific needs based on his history. Bronco has a strong preference for women and requires a patient, observant home that understands canine consent. He can become overwhelmed quickly in social settings, around smaller children or when meeting men, but he is excellent at communicating his boundaries through clear warning signs. He needs a savvy adopter who will advocate for him during slow, controlled introductions and provide a safe space where he doesn't feel pressured. Because of his past experiences, Bronco is also selective about his canine friends and can be reactive to new dogs. He’s looking for a dedicated partner who appreciates his resilient spirit and will help him navigate the world at his own pace. If you're looking for a soulful, energetic best friend who will stay glued to your side with loyalty and love, Bronco is ready to wiggle his way into your life.
