Slonch had his turn at a little field trip this week, too! Dan took this big boy to the usual spots where he got to meet some new friends, have a couple of treats, and roll around in the mud (one of his favorite activities!)

Why you’ll love Slonch:
• Playtime champion — If it rolls, squeaks, or bounces, Slonch is ON IT.
• Certified sunshine dispenser — He believes every day is a good day.
• Expert cuddler-in-training — After playtime, expect flops, sighs, and sweet nuzzles.

Slonch would love a family that’s ready for fun, laughter, and for a dog who brings big personality. He just wants someone to say, “Hey Slonch, you wanna play?” — because the answer will always be YES.

Not every dog is right for just anybody. Our Diamond Dog program is designed for dogs that need a little more help, from building confidence to working on manners, so we can ensure they're set up for success in their new home.

Nico is the kind of dog that will definitely test your boundaries (and occasionally your patience) - but if you're willing to put in the work, you'll have a best friend for life! 💎🐶

Nico can be a little naughty (and maybe even a bit stubborn), so he's looking for adopters that can provide him with the structure and training that will help him be his best self.

HR intern Alexa is ready to find her forever home!

Alexa has been spending time in the HR offices to gain some weight while she went through our pre-adoption process. As you can see, she made herself quite comfortable! Here's what her coworkers have to say about her:

"Alexa is a very affectionate and social cat, full of personality! While she's not a lap cat, she loves to be near people. She greets us every time we come through the door with meows, purrs, and headbutts. When she's feeling cuddly, she purrs really loud and makes the best biscuits!

Alexa loves to su-purr-vise right next to us on our desks and will often "help" by laying right on top of our paperwork or keyboards. When she finally decides to let us get some work done, she enjoys sitting in the window and chirping at the birds and the leaves blowing in the wind. She also loves to play with her feather wand toy and bat around rubber bands that she finds on the floor."

Alexa is still hanging out with the HR team so if you'd like to see her, just ask one of our adoption counselors for a meet-and-greet!
