🐾 Meet Big Foot! 🐾

No blurry forest photos needed... we've already found Big Foot! 😄

This handsome 3-year-old, 73-pound guy was found running at large before our officers brought him to safety. Now he's searching for a family that's forever.

Big Foot has one very unique feature: his left front leg turns outward, giving him a one-of-a-kind look that only adds to his charm. It doesn't stop him from enjoying life one bit!

He's a gentleman who keeps his kennel clean when let out regularly and already knows sit and shake... and yes, he proudly offers his left paw! 🐾 He loves relaxing with a good bone to chew and has a sweet, easygoing personality.

Looking for a dog who's social? Big Foot gets along with both dogs and cats! During his cat test, he didn't just tolerate the cat... he enthusiastically covered it in kisses while the cat patiently accepted the slobbery affection like a seasoned professional. 😂🐱💕

Big Foot is ready to stomp his way right into your heart. If you're looking for a big, lovable goofball with excellent manners and an even bigger heart, come meet him today! ❤️

🐾 Meet China! 🐾

China's story started with a ride from the police, and although she was microchipped and her owner was contacted, no one ever came to bring her home. Now she's ready to find the family she truly deserves. ❤️

At just 2 years old, this playful girl has so much love and personality to share! She's working hard on her potty training, already knows "sit," and is learning "down." China gets along well with other dogs and would just need supervision around cats.

When playtime rolls around, you'll find her happily tossing around stuffed toys or settling in with a good bone to chew. She's still polishing up her manners, especially remembering that not everyone wants an enthusiastic four-paw greeting, but with consistency she'll catch on in no time! 🦴🧸

China comes spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and her adoption fee is just $85.

🏡 If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend who's ready for a fresh start, China is waiting to meet you! Come say hello and see if she's the missing piece of your family. 🐶💙
