Story
📸 The One with the Nervous Smile 🐶✨ Meet Goofy Greg, our very own Chandler Bing! He’s 2 years old, sweet as can be… and, well, let’s just say his “smile for the camera” is a work in progress. You know that episode where Chandler and Monica get their engagement photos taken and Chandler’s smile is… something? Yeah, that’s our Greg — except his awkward grin just makes you love him more. Greg is pretty scared here at the shelter. Sometimes he’s so nervous we have to tempt him with the best treats just to convince him that walks are safe. But underneath that anxious smile is a goofy, gentle boy who just wants a cozy home and a patient human to help him feel brave. Give Goofy Greg the safe space he deserves. Come meet him — he’ll bring the treats if you bring the love. 🩵

Story
Shayla is a beautiful and affectionate female dog, approximately two years old, who is a true hidden gem waiting for her moment to shine! This lovely girl possesses a wonderfully sweet nature that staff instantly fell for, and we believe she has been flying under the radar, overlooked by potential adopters. Shayla is an absolute all-in sweetheart who is eager to bond with her person. Transitioning her for walks is easy and rewarding; staff found that using a treat loop ensures she is quick and cooperative when leashing up. Once she's outside, she transforms into an excellent walking companion—she is calm and responsive, making neighborhood strolls a delight. Her sweet face is utterly irresistible, and she is easily motivated by treats, especially since she loves cheese! If you are looking for a loyal, medium-sized girl ready to settle into a loving home and be your best walking buddy, come meet the wonderful, easygoing Shayla today!

Story
Meet Swivel, a charming and well-mannered companion who is an absolute pro at household living! This sweet boy is a social butterfly who gets along famously with other dogs of all sizes, including smaller friends. He is a dream on a leash, making daily walks a relaxing joy rather than a workout, and he is fully house-trained with a perfect track record indoors. Swivel is a total gentleman during mealtime with no food aggression, and he happily settles into his crate for some quiet time as long as a tasty treat is involved. While he’s an active boy who thrives on engagement and supervision, his affectionate nature and stellar "roommate skills" make him a wonderful addition to any pack.

Story
Meet Ace Ventura, a magnificent male pup around one year old, who is truly an oversized, 70-pound sweetheart! This loyal boy recently endured a terrible ordeal after seeking kindness on a porch, but instead of reacting angrily, he just let us help him through the cleaning and care. He was so good for his bath and kept giving those sweet, "thank you for being nice to me" eyes. Now he's clean, safe, and ready for a soft place to land! Ace Ventura is goofy, wiggly, and has that delightful "I'm basically a baby giraffe in a dog body" energy. This gentle giant would love a foster or forever home where he can rest, snack, and finally learn what true love actually feels like!

Story
If you’re looking for a world-class companion who is as loyal as they come, look no further. Named after a champion, Scottie Scheffler is a total winner in the departments of love, athleticism, and personality. Scottie is a true "Velcro dog." Once you’re in his inner circle, you are his entire world. He doesn’t just live with you; he celebrates you! Here is what makes him so special: Professional Snuggler: Scottie is a world-class cuddler who thrives on physical affection. He is remarkably adaptable in the home and just wants to be wherever his people are. The Ultimate Playmate: He is an absolute clown who loves to wrestle, play fetch, and zoom around the yard. He is great with his "fur brothers" and takes play-style corrections like a total pro. Top-Tier Intelligence: This guy is highly food-motivated and knows his stuff! He’s already mastered Sit, Wait, Place, Stay, Leave it, Down, and has fantastic recall. A Real Character: From using the stairs as his personal slide to his goofy antics, Scottie will keep you laughing every single day. The Ideal "Green" for Scottie Scottie is a "one-person" or "one-family" kind of dog. He saves his deepest devotion for his inner circle and prefers a quiet, predictable lifestyle where he can be the star of the show. The Quiet Life: Scottie prefers the peace and quiet of a suburban or rural setting. Busy parks aren't his scene; he’d much rather have a private yard to run his zoomies. Structured Success: Because he is so protective of his "team," Scottie does best with owners who enjoy a structured routine. He’s a smart boy who appreciates a "management plan" (like a cozy kennel) when new visitors stop by. Experienced Handlers: He is looking for a confident leader who understands that a dog this loyal just needs a little extra space from the rest of the world to feel safe. Bonus: He is as handsome as he is smart—expect to get plenty of compliments on those striking looks!
