Check out how this boy calms down after playtime 😍 Meet Moco! This big, lovable guy is estimated to be around 3 years old (though we think he might be a bit younger) 🐾. With his bright white teeth and puppy-like energy, he keeps us all entertained! Moco has the most adorable way of bouncing around with his toys and loves to show off his skills—he knows sit and down and is very treat-motivated (plus, he takes them oh-so-gently) 🦴❤️.
He’s full of life and starts off with LOTS of energy, but once he’s had his fun, he’s all about cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to his people 🥰. Moco is strong on a leash and will thrive with someone ready to give him the structure and activity he craves, as well as all the love he deserves. He’s also incredibly gentle with toys and will keep you laughing with his goofy personality 🎾🐶.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart and a big personality, Moco might just be the perfect fit! Come meet him with the whole family (cats in an hard carrier) and see if he’s your new best friend! 🏡

PLUG is a beautiful 3 year old German shepherd. He is 61 lbs and bursting with energy. However, he is fairly obedient still and will sit and lay down for a treat when asked. He needs a vigilant owner to keep a close eye on him as he has an affinity for escaping and going off on adventures. His ideal family will keep him very busy and active so that he is too happy and tired to have any solo journeys. 😊

PIXY has had a rough start to life. It appears that this gorgeous girl was used for breeding and arrived heartworm positive. She has been spayed and begun treatment antibiotics. She has the full support of Friends of Stark Pound and they will assist with injections when the time comes up to $500. She is such a good girl who deserves to have the happiest future. Can you open your heart and your home to this sweet girl who is down on her luck? 🥺🙏

FEZ is 2 years old and 33 lbs of love and spunk! He needs lots of love and guidance from his future forever family. He seems to feel most comfortable and safe when he is able to be held or hugging someone he trust. He was always super gentle about it though. His leash manners have been improving every day since he is so eager to learn and please everyone. Fez hopes he will be the perfect fit for your home! 💕

**LONGEST RESIDENT**
Bruce Tank LOVES toys 🤩 what he does not love is pound life. 🥹 This cuddly boy is getting super frustrated at the pound and uses toys to take it out on. He shreds plush toys and chews hard on durable toys - like a self-soothing behavior 🥺 He’s so lonely and needs out - please share! He’s been available since 6/1 and so cute inside and out 🥰😍 he may have potential with SLOW introductions to another dog but needs a kitty-free home.
Sweet boy Bruce Tank is a 7 1/2 year old boy that is extremely housebroken - he holds his potty for really long hours until he gets his turn outside. Right out of the kennel, he is very strong, and being a big boy, he will walk you. Once he’s pottied and had time to get the crazies out, he walks much better ☺️ When he first came to the pound, he was calmer and wanted to just be a lap dog. Since being in a lonely kennel, Bruce Tank is now starting to show signs of stress and anxiety 🥺
Bruce Tank is a senior spending too long in the shelter. He only needs a short amount of time to play before he poops out and we think he’ll be much calmer in a home environment where he gets the time and attention he needs. But he’d love for you to have some durable chew toys for him to play with 🥰
If you’re looking for a sweet companion, give Bruce Tank some time to realize you’re there for him. With his tennis ball in his mouth, he loved Olivia’s pets and butt scratches. Let’s help him get back into a home where he is loved and cherished. ❤️

APRIL is the sunshine on a rainy, Sunday inside. Unfortunately, we did have to stay in and cuddle this weekend to shelter from the rain, but this cuddle bug didn't mind at all. She LOVES love. Kisses, cuddles, scratches, and every other form. She hates it here at the pound because she's away from people anx doesn't get any attention regularly. We hope she can find a loving home to give her all the attention she wants before the holidays this year. 💖🥺🙏

UPDATE: WE HAD OUR DATES WRONG.. ITS BEEN 151 DAYS FOR POOR SCRAPPIE WHO ARRIVED 6/15 💔
AFTER 135 DAYS, Scrappie wanted us to remind you of a few things. She is still waiting for a family. She still loves balls and toys. She is still the cutest resident hippo. She is tired of being here. She doesn't have her own bed or get scratches and kisses before bed. She doesn't get to sit on the couch watching TV with her person. She really doesn't want to spend more of her life behind a kennel. She is still a very happy girl even in this poor situation she finds herself. She would love to meet you. Scrappie is estimated to be 4 years old and a whopping 73 lbs. Please give this gorgeous pup a chance. 🙏🥺💖

BANKER is looking for love this holiday season. This gorgeous 1 year old boy came in completely infested with fleas. He was such a good boy for his bath and has gotten treatment. He still needs to gain some weight, but we hope he can do that from the comfort of a loving home. Banker loves scratches and cuddles, walks well on a leash, and is an all around good guy to spend your day with. Please consider adding Banker to your family this holiday season! 💕

Miss Allie’s hair curlers got her a lot of attention, but no family 😢 She’s not giving up and neither are we! Allie, a "sweet as heck" girl is approximately 6-7 years old and 44 pounds, this gentle dog is all smiles and hoping for an easy going home 🏡
She’s a joy on walks, letting her nose lead the way! We think she knows the word "treat" and takes them so gently ❤️ Allie may be in her golden years, but she’s still got plenty of pep in her step and loves to play! She might be dog selective (she deserves to be choosey!), so bring your whole family (cats in a hard carrier) for a meet and greet!
This happy girl makes the most of her time out and doesn’t like to sit still for long 😆 A shelter is no place for a “senior” like Allie. She’s ready to find a cozy home! If you’re looking for a super sweet, easy-going bestie, look no further than Allie. She deserves a home filled with love and never to feel abandoned again 🏡 She can’t wait to be smiling for her adoption photo! 📸

Have you met Marissa?! If you haven’t, you are really missing out 🥹 🐾 Sweet, gentle, and oh-so-deserving of a forever home, Marissa is ready to be pampered like the queen she is! 👑 This girl is around 2 years old and 54-pounds. This beauty is still learning what it means to be spoiled, and she’s looking for a loving family to shower her with all the affection and care she’s missed out on. 💖
Though she was a little unsure during her “magic bath,” Marissa handled it like a champ and is quickly discovering how much she loves being loved! She’s not really into toys, but she adores treats and affection. 🍖 With some training, this eager-to-please girl already knows “sit” “down” and “roll over” and is ready to learn more with a patient and kind family. While she rolled over, she stayed on her back for belly rubs 🥹
Marissa is curious about other dogs and shows potential for making a doggy friend with the right introduction. 🐕🦺 Bring your whole family (cats in hard carriers too!) for a meet and greet and see if Marissa is the missing piece in your life.
Come meet Marissa this week – she’s waiting to steal your heart! 🌟🐾
