Reminder: foster dogs are a part of Pittiefest too, which means Ares’s adoption fee is only $5 through 8/15!

Ares is living it up in a foster home right now, and his temporary family can’t stop raving about him.

They say he’s the sweetest boy, he really just wants to be with his people. He’s the perfect mix of snuggly and playful, loves spending time with other dogs, and even does well with cats! He’s also open to meeting older kids.

There’s a common myth that pittie-type dogs don’t get along with other animals, but Ares proves that’s just not true! With proper introductions, he’s social, gentle, and respectful of everyone he meets. (As are so many other amazing pups!)

If you’ve been thinking about adding a pup to your family, now’s the perfect time. Email [email protected] to meet Ares or any of our dogs currently in foster!

When Lemon first arrived at our shelter, he was in critical condition.

His back leg was missing and the bone was exposed. The pain he endured is hard to imagine, but still he had the strength to get himself to safety. And through it all, Lemon never stopped loving. He greeted everyone with a wag and a kiss, even when he had every reason not to.

Today, Lemon is still that same happy, people-loving dog. He’s embraced life with three legs and a heart full of joy. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is open to meeting teenaged kids who can share in his zest for life.

Lemon’s adoption fee is just $5 during our Pittiefest event, which runs through August 15th. If you’re looking for a dog who radiates resilience and love, Lemon is waiting to meet you today.

If you ask anyone here about Midnight, their face instantly lights up.

He’s just that kind of dog. The one who fills a room with joy just by being in it. You’d never guess that this happy, loving boy once spent his days chained outside, unable to feel safety or warmth. When we rescued him last December, temperatures had dropped into the 30s. The chain hanging from his neck was heavy and his spirits were low.

But today, Midnight is safe. He's free to chase tennis balls (his absolute favorite), free to soak up all the attention, and free to hope that his forever family will finally find him. It's been 8 months, and we’re still wondering why hasn’t anyone scooped him up yet?

Midnight adores people and is open to meeting dog-savvy kids and other tolerant pups.

As part of Pittiefest, his adoption fee is just $5 until August 15th. Come meet him - you’ll understand why we all love him so much.

Today, we're doing things a bit differently.

We're not going to ask for donations, but rather something much bigger: homes for so many of our dogs who are still waiting.

Dogs like Bear.

In January, Bear’s life changed when a video of his abuse went viral on social media. Our Animal Law Enforcement team rescued him that same day. He was terrified, so shut down that even the softest hand made him flinch. The shelter was overwhelming. Life had never been kind to him.

But Bear didn’t give up. Slowly, with patience and love, he started to believe that not all people would hurt him. And now? Bear is a dog who runs to his friends, who wiggles with excitement, who plays like his heart was never broken. He’s still learning and healing, but his spirit is unstoppable.

Bear is looking for an active home that will keep him busy, show him kindness, and continue helping him grow. He’s open to meeting other playful dogs and savvy children.

His adoption fee is just $5 starting today through August 15th as part of our Pittiefest event.

Please share. Bear's family is out there. Let’s find them.

Nope, this isn’t a cartoon character - this is Ziggy, and yes, he’s just that cute!

With his petite, round little body and big, goofy personality, Ziggy keeps us laughing every single day. He’s got a playful, loving spirit and would love nothing more than a home that will appreciate his bouncy charm. He is open to meeting other playful dogs and savvy kids.

Starting tomorrow, Ziggy’s adoption fee will be just $5 as part of Pittiefest! Don’t miss your chance to bring home this cutie!
