🎩 Meet Florian, the dapper gentleman with a few tricks up his sleeve! 🐾

At approximately 6 years old, Florian is a sweet, laidback fellow who found himself at the shelter as a stray. Now, he's ready to trade shelter life for a cozy couch and a family to call his own!

Florian is a professional napper, a lover of human companionship, and an all-around charming guy. But don't let his relaxed demeanor fool you! This clever boy has a surprising talent for escaping, especially when left alone. He experiences separation anxiety and would do best with someone who is home frequently and can help him feel safe and secure. He's not a fan of being crated, either!

The good news? Florian has plenty of love to give! ❤️ He's open to possibly living with children of all ages and other pets with proper introductions.

Florian isn't asking for much, just a comfortable place to snooze, people to love, and a home where he won't have to worry about being left behind. Could you be the one to give this handsome gentleman his happily ever after? 🏡💕

💔 ZERO interest. Not one inquiry. How is Kelli still here?!

We know Kelli might not be the dog who runs right up to you demanding attention. She's a little nervous when meeting new people, and sometimes she needs a moment to decide you're worthy of her friendship. But once she feels comfortable, her silly, sweet personality starts to shine! 💕

Kelli has so much love to give, but unfortunately, nobody has given her the chance to show it. She's still waiting at the shelter, watching other dogs find their families while she continues to be overlooked.

Not every dog is a social butterfly, and that's okay! Some of the best relationships take a little time to blossom. Kelli just needs someone willing to look beyond those first nervous moments and discover the wonderful dog underneath.

🐾 Please don't let Kelli keep waiting. Even if you can't adopt, sharing her story might help her find the person who's been missing her all along. ❤️

🐾 Meet Paz, our distinguished silver fox! 🩶

This handsome, salt-and-pepper gentleman came to us as a stray, and now he's hoping to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family of his very own!

Paz is a laid-back senior who appreciates the quieter things in life. He's looking for a calm, cozy home where he can relax and enjoy his retirement in style. While he'd prefer to be your one and only canine companion, he's open to sharing his home with children of all ages. Cats are still a mystery, but he may be willing to give them a chance with slow, thoughtful introductions.

Like many seniors, Paz has a little age-related wear and tear, but don't let that fool you! This sweet gentleman still has plenty of love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates the charm of an older dog. 💕

✨ Even better? Paz is part of our Freshpet Senior Promotion, which means his adoption fee is completely WAIVED! ✨

Paz isn't asking for much, just a soft place to land, a little patience, and someone to love him through his golden years. Could you be the happy ending he's been waiting for? 🐾❤️

If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.

Poor Dexter came from right here in our community. 💔 When you're checking up on your friends and family that are older and live alone, be sure to check on their beloved pets as well.

🎃 Dusty is living his best foster life, and he's clearly ready for his close-up! 📸🐾

This handsome boy has traded shelter life for the comforts of a foster home, and he's absolutely loving it! Between soaking up attention, enjoying some much-deserved relaxation, and showing off his fabulous costume collection, Dusty is proving that he's quite the catch!

Dusty is a 6-year-old sweetheart who can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his wonderful personality shines through. He's food motivated, housebroken, crate trained, and ready to be someone's loyal companion! He may do well with children ages 5+ and other dogs around his size or larger with proper introductions.

While Dusty is having a blast in foster care, there's still one thing missing: a forever family to call his own! ❤️

Help us find this handsome little costume model the happy ending he deserves! 🐶💕
