🧡Tuck Me In Thursday🛏️💤

Fiona was slated to be featured for "Take Me Along Thursday," but once she got into a foster home she immediately revealed her adorably calm, snoozy side💕 She does still love her adventures and walks, but is just as happy to snooze alongside you on the sofa on a snowy day.

At 10 months old, Fiona is a sweet, eager-to-learn puppy whose tail never stops wagging when she's awake. This pint-sized girl gets along with other dogs (though she does want to be the boss on occasion), cats and kids. She is so snuggly and soft, perfect for keeping you toasty through these long winter nights!

🔎Guess What Wednesday: Anders' Reveal🐶🧬

Did anyone guess Perro de Press Canario?😅 Because we sure didn't! His other top breeds are American pit bull terrier, Siberian husky and American Staffordshire terrier. The rest are just as fun to read through: cocker spaniel, Neapolitan mastiff, beagle and more.

Surprised? Delighted? Confused but impressed? That’s the magic of a mystery shelter mutt — they’re always full of the best plot twists.

Thanks to everyone who played along! Come meet this 100% very good boy in person if you haven’t already. Now that we know what he is, all that's left to donow is find where he belongs.

And be sure to stay tuned for the next mystery pup! 👀

🔎Guess What Wednesday🐶🧬

Ever looked at a pup and wondered, “What in the world is this adorable recipe of fluff and paws?” Anders, who is currently thriving in a wonderful foster home, is an excellent choice for dog-DNA sleuthing. We had to look up his most prominent breed, as it is not found in your typical shelter mix.

A little bit about this 1-year-old boy: Anders came into the shelter in August as an extremely underweight stray. He turned out to have swallowed multiple toys, likely in his previous home, and a kind-hearted foster literally saved his life and took charge of his medical care. Anders is now doing well, gaining weight and learning to trust humans; his playful, silly side comes out more each day! He would love to find a home with another dog to romp around with, and does well with cats too.

Any guesses to Anders' unique breed combo? Check out his photos and take your best stab at it, then come back at noon for the reveal 🔍

🐶👋Meet Me (Again) Monday👋🐶

Hi, I'm Sett! I'm not new to the shelter, but it's been a quiet week and I wanted to reintroduce myself again in hopes that the right person sees this. I am a happy, fun-loving 1-year-old boy who enjoys going for walks and runs, relaxing near people and getting the occasional zoomies!

I was lucky enough to be picked to go to a trunk or treat event in October, where I got dressed up and hung out with lots of little kids in costumes and other dogs. It was a happy day and the humans said I did SO GOOD! I'd love to find a home that takes me fun places, plays with me and lets me curl up on the couch for a good cuddle session.

🚨SOS Sunday: Bodhi Is Not at His Best ⚠️💔

Bodhi has been waiting at the shelter for the better part of a year, and it's getting harder for him every day. He has been moved to a quieter area and that has helped, but he really needs a home of his own.

This 2-year-old, medium-sized boy is a volunteer favorite, with his hopeful eyes, ever-present smile and easy affection. He lights up the moment he steps outside, loves to play fetch and is an incredibly loving goofball. He'd likely enjoy having a dog sibling to play with and would do best in a feline-free home.

Because he isn't doing so well at the shelter, we need to find him a foster or adopter soon so he can decompress in a safe, joyful space and be his happy, tail-wagging self without the worries of shelter life. If he sounds like your kind of pup, make a plan to meet him this week!

It's 🌟Foster Friday!🌟 Here's a festive update from Jack Frost's foster mama:

Why Jack Frost Is #1 on Santa’s Nice List🎅

❄️ He’s bravely coming out of his shell. Jack Frost is learning to trust, grow and shine a little more every day in his foster home.

❄️ He spreads joy with every wag. His silly personality and love of toys brings laughter to everyone around him.

❄️ He adores his people. Jack Frost is happiest when he’s with his people, following them around with his gentle, loyal heart.

❄️ He’s extra gentle with little ones. His special bond with his foster family’s 2-year-old daughter proves how sweet and loving he truly is.

❄️ He gives world-class snuggles. His very favorite thing is snuggling, and no one delivers warm, cozy cuddles quite like Jack Frost.

❄️ He brings holiday magic all year long. With his sweetness, courage and big heart, he embodies everything Santa loves most.

Thank you to Jack's foster family for giving him a warm home filled with love while he waits for his day to come🤍 Please share his story and help him get the home he deserves!📣

☀️🐾Take Me Along Thursday!🚗🍔

Nobody loves an adventure like Spot. Always up for a good time, this fabulous boy has a zest for life that's unmatched, whether it's going for hikes through the woods, splashing around in a pool, or scarfing down a hamburger (the ideal day would include all three of these😁).

Perfectly suited to an active home, Spot does well with most other dogs, kids (older is better due to his size and energy), and even has potential to live with cats. He is a solid running buddy, swim partner, coffee run co-pilot -- you name it, he's up for it!

Spot is coming up on his one-year anniversary at the shelter and is the longest resident not in foster care. But that has not dimmed his light at all! He knows the right home is out there somewhere, just waiting to take him on new adventures.
