ATTENTION, INTERNET. I HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF FALSE ADVERTISING.

Apparently my photos have been hitting the gym without me because I look WAY bigger online than I actually am. In real life, I'm just a 15-pound, 14-week-old professional people lover with a heart that's about 100 times bigger than my body.

Also, whoever took my pictures owes me an apology. They make me look much darker than I really am. In person, I'm rocking a gorgeous blue-gray coat that's even more handsome than the camera gives me credit for.

My name is Alfie, and I have never met a stranger. If you have hands, I expect them to pet me. If you have a lap, I assume it's reserved for me. If you have snacks... well, I think we just became best friends.

My adoption fee is sponsored and reduced to just $40, and it covers my neuter, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines, vet exam, f***l test, deworming, microchip, and all the usual vetting before I head home with my new family.

So stop judging me by my misleading photos and come meet the real me. I promise I'm smaller, lighter, and somehow even cuter in person.

Call 256-362-5856 to schedule an appointment before someone else figures out that I'm the best deal in town!

ATTENTION, HUMANS. THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

My name is Chyna, and I'm a 6-month-old, 37-pound Great Pyrenees mix with a serious case of Happy Puppy Syndrome. Side effects include zoomies, making instant friends with other dogs, and believing every human I meet has been waiting their entire life to pet me.

Now, yes... I'm a Pyrenees mix. Does that mean I dream of guarding sheep? Honestly, I have no idea. I've never met one. They could be wonderful. They could be judgmental. Either way, I'm pretty convinced I'd rather guard your couch, supervise snack time, and make sure no pizza crust ever hits the floor unsupervised.

I'm playful, friendly, and fully committed to becoming your loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and professional house dog.

My adoption fee is sponsored and reduced to just $40, which includes my spay, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines, vet exam, f***l test, general dewormer, and microchip before I head home.

If you'd like to meet me, call 256-362-5856 to schedule an appointment.

Warning: Looking into my puppy eyes may result in an unexpected new roommate. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Before you judge my photos... I'd like to file an official complaint.

Hi. I'm Astro, and apparently I'm "camera shy." Every time that weird rectangle comes out, I suddenly forget how to dog. I look sad. I look awkward. I look like I'm contemplating my taxes.

In REAL LIFE? Totally different story.

I'm a 6-month-old, 33-pound Boxer mix with one mission: PLAY FIRST, POSE NEVER! I'd much rather chase toys, zoom around the yard, and convince you that every day is the greatest day ever than stand still for another boring picture. I also get along great with the other dogs I've met here at the shelter, so if you've already got a canine sidekick, we should definitely meet!

So if you're scrolling past because my photos aren't doing me justice... congratulations, you've been fooled by the paparazzi.

My adoption fee is sponsored and reduced to just $40! That includes me being neutered, my distemper/parvo vaccine, vet exam, f***l test for parasites, general dewormer, and a microchip before I head home.

Come meet the real Astro—the goofy, happy, ridiculously adorable version the camera refuses to capture.

Call 256-362-5856 to schedule an appointment. I promise I'm way cuter in person... and I'll probably be too busy playing to notice you're judging my selfies.

I INTERRUPTED YOUR SCROLL FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

HI. I'M ROCKY.

I have two speeds: ZOOMIES and "Did somebody say TOY?!" I believe every tennis ball deserves a proper investigation, every squeaky toy deserves a dramatic squeak test, and every human deserves approximately 4,763 kisses a day. You're welcome.

I'm a 54.4 pound, 1 year old professional fun machine with enough puppy energy to keep life exciting. I love people, I've done well with the other dogs I've met here at the shelter, and I'm always ready for my next adventure... even if that adventure is sprinting to the treat jar before you can blink.

My adoption fee is sponsored and reduced to just $40! That includes me being neutered, my distemper/parvo vaccine, vet exam, f***l test for parasites, general dewormer, and a microchip before I head home with my new best friend.

So... what are you waiting for? Quit pretending you're "just looking." We both know your couch has an empty spot with my name on it.

Call 256-362-5856 to schedule an appointment to meet me. Hurry... these zoomies aren't going to perform themselves! 🐾
