💕 Looking for calm and love? Meet Gentle 💕

🌸 Gentle 🌸
Her name couldn’t be more perfect! Gentle is a 10-year-old, 83-pound lady who takes life at an easy pace. She came out for her playgroup assessment today and calmly cruised the yard with two other dogs. When it was time to go to the catch pen, she simply settled in and soaked up the sunshine. ☀️

Gentle walks with a slow, steady saunter and would be perfectly content lounging in your yard, watching the days roll by. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion, Gentle is ready to bring peace and sweetness into your life. 💕

🎶 Meet Lark! 🎶
This handsome 10-month-old, 52-pound pup is ready to sing his way into your heart! Lark came out for his playgroup assessment today and absolutely rocked it. He had the best time playing with Subwoofer and Paris, and we can’t wait for him to meet even more friends tomorrow.

✨ Meet Savannah! ✨
This cutie has the sweetest little underbite that will absolutely steal your heart. Savannah was so excited to get out into the yard today—she wiggled, kissed, and snuggled her way through every moment. She was so full of love that it was hard to even snap a picture of her!

If you’re looking for a girl who’s all about affection and joy, Savannah is ready to meet you. 💕

Savannah is a two year old, spayed female weighing 34 pounds.

This is Bumblebee 🐝, a four-year-old canine weighing 43 pounds. The scar tissue visible on her face is a result of an earlier infection, which is now resolved and causes her no discomfort. She consistently displays a cheerful attitude and has a particular fondness for lengthy, leisurely walks while on a lead.

Hello, I'm Rabbit, a six-month-old puppy, and I currently weigh 63 pounds. Today, I was taken to the yard, but I'm still learning how to play 🎾 . Could you provide guidance on this? My current repertoire of commands is limited to 'sit,' and I'm in the process of learning 'place.’ I was tested in playgroup yesterday and I was a little stiff. Hoping so can get more comfortable with each outing!

Salsa, who is in the pool and was adopted today, along with 'Sub', our nickname for him. What is happening? Subwoofer remains available. Although he may initially be reserved around people, he thrives in playgroup settings. Ideally, he would benefit from the companionship of another dog. We can assist you in finding a pair. LOL
