Meet Ellison, who is 4-years-old.

Graceful, gentle, and full of quiet love - Ellison is a beautiful girl with a tender heart and soulful eyes that say it all.

She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, Ellison blossoms into the most affectionate, loyal companion. She's the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room, always close by, always watching with love.

Meet Serenity, a 10-month-old, female who was found as a stray and never claimed by an owner. Serenity is a sweet but shy girl who might take a few minutes for her to come out of her shell, once she does, she is all about getting getting petted and loved on. Because she is still young, Serenity would benefit from learning a few basic commands but she is food motivated and eager to learn. Serenity needs to home where she is given time, love and guidance to adjust to new surroundings. Because Serenity was a stray, it is not currently known how she would be with other pets or small children.
