Story
Hey there, future family! The name's Stylz—yes, with a “z” because I’m fancy like that. I’m a 4-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart as big as my appetite for tasty treats (and believe me, it's huge).Let me give you the lowdown on my current situation. I’m chilling in this kennel, trying to look all tough and mysterious, but honestly, it’s just an act. Think of me as one of those misunderstood movie characters—you know, the ones with a rough exterior but a heart of gold. Yeah, that’s me, Stylz the Charming.So here’s the deal. I know I might look a bit wild when you first see me in my kennel. I mean, who wouldn't be a little messy when they’re cooped up with nothing to do? But get me out of this joint, and I turn into Mr. Sweetheart. Seriously, you won’t believe it’s the same dog. I’m like a canine version of Clark Kent turning into Superman, minus the cape and the phone booth.Now, let’s talk about my interests. I’m a sucker for toys. Give me a squeaky toy, and I’m in heaven. But let’s be real, I get bored easily. I need some interactive playtime to keep my brain buzzing and my tail wagging. I’m not just a pretty face—I’m smart, too. I thrive on mental stimulation, so puzzle toys, training sessions, and games are right up my alley.Walks? Oh, I love them. The sights, the smells, the occasional squirrel to chase—it’s all part of the adventure. And treats? Don’t even get me started. I’m basically a connoisseur of all things delicious. I’ll do just about anything for a tasty morsel. Sit, stay, roll over—you name it, I’ll nail it if there’s a snack involved.Here’s the thing, though. A lot of people walk past my kennel and don’t give me a chance. They see the wild Stylz and miss out on the sweetheart Stylz. But those who do take the time to get to know me find out I’m loyal, intelligent, and eager to please. I’m just waiting for the right person to see past the rough exterior and give me the chance to shine.So, what do you say? Ready to be the hero of this story and adopt the most charming, misunderstood Pit Bull mix you’ll ever meet? Trust me, with a little patience and a lot of love, I’ll be the best friend you’ve been dreaming of.Can’t wait to meet you and show you my true colors!Paws and tail wags,StylzFill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/

Story
Hi, my name is Starry. I'm a 6-year-old bully mix with a beautiful heart-shaped white face that stands out against my mainly black coat. I like to think it reflects the love I have to give. They say I'm a big love bug, and I can't argue with that—I have so much love to share with the right person or family.One of my favorite things in the world is meeting new people. I'm very sweet-natured, and I love getting scratches and pets. There's nothing better than a good ear scratch or a belly rub. It makes me feel so happy and loved.I enjoy exploring the play yard, sniffing around and taking in all the smells. It's always an adventure, and I love every minute of it. But what sets me apart from the younger pups is that I'm already past the puppy phase. I know how to relax and chill out. I'm not constantly bouncing around; I appreciate the quiet moments, too.Treats are another one of my loves. I appreciate every single one and savor them with joy. And I have the biggest, happiest smile to show how much I appreciate all the little things.If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion who's ready to share in all the love and joy you have to offer, look no further. I'm Starry, and I'm ready to bring a bit of my starry light into your life. Let's relax, explore, and enjoy all the wonderful moments together.Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/

Story
Hi there! I'm Clayton, a senior pit bull mix with a heart full of love to give. I have a black coat, a big old white head, and a deep bark that might sound tough, but I'm really just a softie at heart. My vision isn’t so great anymore, but if you walk me around boundaries and show me where they are, I learn to navigate pretty quickly. I arrived at the shelter as a stray at the end of June. This place can be loud and a bit scary, so I'm still trying to adjust to all the new sounds and faces. The staff and volunteers here are really nice, though, and I always appreciate it when they give me treats and some extra attention.Even though my past is a bit of a mystery, one thing's for sure: I'm a sweet boy who's ready to shower someone with love and loyalty. I'm looking for a special person who will take care of me and make sure I don't spend my senior years on the streets or in a noisy shelter. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants a cozy spot to call home, I'm your guy. I can't wait to find a forever home where I can finally relax and enjoy my golden years with someone who loves me.Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/
