Story
Meet Steve! 🐾 Steve is a 2-year-old pit mix who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that Steve is a friendly, approachable guy who enjoys human company. He’s easy to handle, walks nicely on leash. In the play yard, Steve can show some barrier reactivity toward other dogs, so we recommend a proper meet-and-greet to make sure he’s a good match for any potential canine siblings. With the right introductions and guidance, Steve has the potential to thrive in a loving home. If you’re looking for a sweet, manageable companion who enjoys spending time with people, Steve might be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet him and see if he’s the one for you! 💙

Story
Meet **Jack (#31849)** 🐶✨ Jack came to us as a stray, but you’d never know it—this boy is **SO HAPPY** every single moment! 🐾😄 He lights up the second he sees you at his kennel and goes absolutely over the moon for walks. He’s a strong puller who loves to zig, zag, and bounce with excitement, so be ready for some joyful energy! Jack’s favorite treasure? A **light-up toy** 💡🧸—he’ll happily dig through the toy bin to find it. He’s still working on his manners, but he already knows how to **sit** and appears to be **potty trained** 👍. In group play, Jack is a rockstar ⭐. He consistently plays well with dogs who match his energetic style and loves chase and keep-away with equal-sized, equally active pups. Fair warning: stuffed toys don’t stand a chance—he’s on a mission to find every squeaker! 🐻💥 Still very much a puppy at heart, Jack will thrive with an **active, adult-only home** ready to help him grow into his best self. Could that be you? 💙🐕

Story
Meet Zorro (#32415) Zorro’s world changed suddenly when his owner was hospitalized and there was no one able to reclaim him. Despite that, Zorro hasn’t lost his zest for life — he’s a very high-energy boy who’s always eager to bust out of his kennel and go. If you love an active dog, Zorro is your guy. Bring a tennis ball (or five) and a strong throwing arm — this boy lives for fetch and could happily chase a ball for hours on end. Running, playing, and burning off energy are his favorite things. Zorro’s enthusiasm doesn’t always come with an off switch, and getting him back into his kennel can be a challenge. He may jump up and cling to you in protest, making it very clear he’s not ready for the fun to end. With structure, training, and plenty of exercise, Zorro has all the potential to thrive. Zorro would do best with an active, patient adopter who can give him outlets for his energy and help him learn calmer transitions. If you’re looking for a playful, driven companion who’s always ready for the next game of fetch, Zorro is waiting to meet you 🎾🐕

Story
Meet Harkness (#32270)! Harkness is a sweet, handsome boy who was found as a stray and is now ready to find his forever home. If there's one thing to know about Harkness is that he loves chairs. Seriously. Bench? Yes. Rolling chair? Yes. High chair? Absolutely. If you put a steak on one side and a regular old chair on the other, Harkness would jump up and sit on the chair every time. This lovable guy adores people and shows his excitement with the cutest zoomies when he’s happy to see you. He’s affectionate, social, and always eager to be part of the fun. Harkness is a high-energy pup who’s ready to play all day and would thrive in an active home that can keep him mentally and physically engaged. He already knows some basic commands like sit and shake, and he’s eager to show off his smarts. When it comes to other dogs, Harkness can be a bit questionable, so any potential canine siblings should be introduced carefully. He has met and played off leash with other large dog, but will need continued supervised playdates to assure his social skills are primed for all dogs to meet him. He would do best with adopters who can continue working on his training and provide proper structure. One important thing to know about Harkness: he’s an excellent jumper and can clear a 6-foot fence, so he’ll need a secure setup and supervision when outside. Harkness enjoys visiting the aquarium, playing with toys and getting his zoomies out. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic companion who will keep you smiling and on your toes, Harkness might be your perfect match! 🐾💙
