Thor #59386389 {Adult Male/Terrier, American Pit Bull}

Meet Thor! ⚡🐾
Don’t let his mighty name fool you — Thor is a gentle sweetheart with a soft heart. He can be a little nervous around men, but once he feels safe, his playful and loving personality shines through. At 3 years old, Thor is ready to leave kennel life behind and find a home where he can truly relax and be himself.

Thor adores other dogs and cats and has even lived with an infant, so he’s no stranger to family life! He loves to run, play, and enjoy outdoor adventures. Loud noises, vacuums, spray bottles, and yes — even whipped cream — make him a bit uneasy, but with patience and reassurance, he quickly warms up.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a sensitive soul and a playful spirit, Thor might just be your perfect match! 💙

Scrappy Doo #59766528 {Adult Male/Bulldog,Terrier Mixed Breed}
Meet Scrappy Doo! 🐾

This handsome fella has quickly become a volunteer favorite! Scrappy Doo is a super-sweet boy who already knows how to sit and loves going for walks — he’s a polite walker and doesn’t pull much on the leash. While toys aren’t really his thing, he enjoys spending time with people and soaking up affection.

Scrappy Doo came to us as a stray, so we’re still learning more about him, including how he feels about other dogs and cats. He’s estimated to be between 2–5 years old and weighs about 69 lbs.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a gentle soul, come meet Scrappy Doo today! 💛

Rico #59782998 {Adult Male/Shepherd Mixed Breed}
Meet Rico! This little guy is ready for a home! Rico weighs in at 35lbs and is a shepherd and hot dog mixed breed. He’s a fun-loving pup who enjoys playing with other dogs, running around, and chasing after a good game of fetch! He can be a little vocal with dogs bigger than him, but it’s all part of his big personality. When he’s tuckered out, he’ll happily toss himself onto the floor for a well-earned nap.

He absolutely loves meeting new people and is always ready for affection. He even loves cats—though the feeling isn’t always mutual!
Rico is good with kids over 10. Overall, he’s a pretty chill guy who just wants to be near his person. He’s a total mama’s boy who will follow you everywhere and shower you with love. ❤️
