At 9 months-old, Blue Punch is getting her first chance at exploring the great big world around her. She thrives with adventure, and we love to see her courage grow!

Blue loves the company of other dogs and is learning how to warm up to humans. She is incredibly kindhearted and with some direction, she will make an incredible lifelong companion!

Sweetest girl, Jovie is a dream dog. This 5-year-old, mini-Schnauzer mix is ready to find her happy ever after. At 16 lbs. Jovie is a great leash walker and doesn't mind taking naps in her crate when needed.

Jovie is currently fostered with other dogs and hasn't had the pleasure of meeting a cat yet. We do think this gentle lady would do fine in any loving home. She comes with experience and lots of love to give! Apply today if you would like to give Jovie the life she has always deserved. www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog

Did you know that it could take up to 3 months for a dog to fully bond with a new owner? Can you imagine deciding within 3 minutes of meeting a dog, that he is too shy? Why isn't that dog tail wagging or happy to see us?

PJ is a 9-month-old Aussie mix with the sweetest spirit and a heart full of potential. He spent the first part of his life in a breeding operation where he was kenneled with other dogs and had very limited interaction with people. Because of this, PJ is still learning that humans can be kind, gentle, and safe. With time, patience, and a doggie role model by his side, we believe this shy boy will blossom into the loving companion he was always meant to be.

Are you willing to give PJ a chance? Apply today to schedule a visit. www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog

We all get to see Camelia's silly side when her little nub tail goes wild! But not many people wait around to see her calm and affectionate side. She is learning so much at BYC and we think she is more than prepared for a life of adventure!

All she needs is you! Spread the word about a friendly dog who would do well in a home with other dogs or even solo! Camelia is smart and independent but loves to play. If you are interested in meeting with this very deserving dog, apply today!
