Pugsley, now Forrest, gave us quite the scare on his first night home when he decided to make a run for it (hence the new name!). His family says once he settled in, he showed us his true colors. This boy loves his cuddles. He’s goofy, sweet, and already making them laugh every single day.

We are confident Tristan Woofs and this interactive ball will put a smile on your face☺️

When you walk past his kennel you will likely assume he is an aggressive dog. His bark can be INTENSE! That is not a true representation of his behavior. This video is. He can be shy at first with strangers but he will open up and he truly is a fun, playful and smart dog. We hope someone will see past his kennel behavior and give him a chance!

𝙈𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖!

Smart, sweet, and just the right amount of sassy - this girl’s got it all. Jessica’s a quick learner who already knows sit, shake, and down, and she’s even been working on her new party trick, “dance pretty” (and yes, it’s as cute as it sounds).

When she’s outside, she’s all about chasing lizards through the grass or rolling in the sunshine like she doesn’t have a single worry in the world. She’s playful, loyal, and full of heart…the kind of dog who just wants to love and be loved. Jessica would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the attention (and treats) for herself.

At around 55 pounds, Jessica’s ready to leave her past behind and start her next chapter as someone’s beloved best friend. Kindhearted, loyal, and looking for her hero. Maybe that’s you?

The dogs are holding a very serious meeting: decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving… or after? 🎄🦃

One thing they all agree on? They’re adoptable, adorable, and ready to go home for the holidays. ❤️
