Meet Max 🌹
Age: 10
Breed: German Shepherd Dog mixMax may be 10, but don’t let the number fool you—this handsome GSD mix is young at heart and still very much in his leading-man era.
When he’s not enjoying long walks or socializing effortlessly with cats and other dogs, you’ll find him exactly where he belongs: lounging on the couch with his people, soaking up attention and waiting patiently for dinner time.
Max thrives on connection and believes no one should ever be left out—especially him. He appreciates frequent reminders that he’s handsome (because he is) and firmly believes diets are overrated when love and snacks are on the line.
When it comes to love, Max knows what he wants. His perfect match is an active older person or family who can keep up with his zest for life and give him the attention he so generously returns. Loyal, affectionate, and ready for commitment, Max isn’t here for casual flings.
Max is looking for someone who will choose him every day… and maybe give him the final rose—right after dinner. 🌹🐶

Meet Boltz 🌹
Age: 1.5
Breed: Pit Bull–type mixBoltz is stepping into the spotlight with a big head, a bigger heart, and absolutely no interest in doing math. This handsome young pitty mix is equal parts lover, goofball, and loyal companion.
When he’s not enjoying leisurely sniff-walks or a good run in an open space with his favorite humans, Boltz is all about connection. His ideal day includes laying his head in a lap, a spirited game of tug, and eventually destroying a squeaky toy with great enthusiasm. A strong believer in self-care, he also knows that naps—especially in his crate—are non-negotiable.
Playful and social, Boltz loves roughhousing with his dog friends (shoutout to Larry the Lab and Ginny from the Block) and is happiest when he can balance fun with downtime. He’s affectionate, devoted, and thrives on quality time—ear scratches and snacks strongly encouraged.
Boltz knows what he wants in a match. He’d thrive with a person or family who enjoys staying active but understands the importance of balance. Because he sometimes forgets how big his head and long body are, he’s best suited for a home with older kids who can handle his enthusiasm. He enjoys other dogs but needs thoughtful, low-impact playtime due to a past hip injury—chaos is a no, intentional fun is a yes.
Loyal, affectionate, and ready for commitment (snacks included), Boltz is looking for someone who will choose him every day. In return, he promises laughter, devotion, and a lifetime of cuddles.🌹🐾

Meet Buddy 🌹
Age: 11
Breed: Labrador Retriever mixBuddy is an 11-year-old lab mix with old-soul charm and impeccable taste. He prefers life at a slower pace and believes the best things are meant to be savored—like slow saunters around the block, a crackling fire, and Miles Davis spinning on a record player (and no, not on some dumb phone).
When he’s not enjoying the simple pleasures, Buddy can be found keeping a watchful eye on the yard, or politely requesting chicken. He’s deeply devoted to his people and would be perfectly happy if they never left—ever. Loyalty is his love language, and companionship is non-negotiable.
Buddy knows what he doesn’t want, too. Hard biscuits have no place in his dinner bowl, stairs are simply unnecessary, and birds—especially the ones in the neighbor’s yard—are highly suspicious. He also prefers his toys to remain exactly where he left them and believes riding shotgun is a right, not a privilege.
When it comes to love, Buddy is clear and confident. His ideal match is an older person or couple who wants a constant companion to hang out with, share quiet moments, and enjoy life’s softer rhythms. He’s not here for chaos—he’s here for comfort, consistency, and connection.
Buddy isn’t chasing drama. He’s chasing peace, chicken, and a forever person who will choose him every day… preferably with the fire lit and the music playing. 🌹🐾

Meet Grizzly 🌹
Age: 2
Breed: Alaskan Malamute mixGrizzly is a 2-year-old malamute mix with main-character energy, a goofy sense of humor, and a laid-back confidence that makes him a true gentle giant. Built for adventure and born for the snow, he’s happiest when he has a big yard to roam, something questionable to investigate, and a good wrestling match with medium to large dog friends.
Grizzly believes the world is meant to be explored… and occasionally tasted (even when it’s not technically allowed). He’s funny without trying, easygoing at heart, and surprisingly good with cats—but he draws the line at crates (absolutely not), overly pushy small dogs, and people who mistake him as an Ewok.
When Grizzly comes inside, he prefers company. He doesn’t love being alone and may wander the house in search of low-stakes mischief, but his relaxed, gentle nature keeps things light. While he has a stubborn streak and won’t do something he’s not interested in, he approaches life with a calm, unbothered vibe that makes him an easy companion.
Grizzly knows what he needs in a match. His ideal person or family has a large yard, enjoys outdoor play, and understands that big, hairy dogs can be just as stubborn as they are cute. He’s looking for patient, kind humans who understand his breed.
Grizzly isn’t here to be contained. He’s here to make you laugh, lean into your life as your gentle shadow, and finally be chosen—just as he is. 🌹🐾

Meet Corra 🌹
Age: 3
Breed: Cattle Dog / Husky mixCorra is a 3-year-old cattle dog–husky mix with boundless energy, undeniable charm, and the kind of beauty that genuinely makes your heart melt. She’s athletic, confident, and here to take the lead—because when Corra knows what she wants, she goes after it.
Her perfect day includes chasing a flirt pole at top speed, heading out on long walks, and celebrating a job well done with cookies. Adventure is her love language, and she thrives when her body and brain are fully engaged. While she’s not a fan of water, vacuums, or cats (hard no), she’s all in when it comes to movement, play, and quality time with her person.
Corra is still working on her social skills with other dogs. She does well with proper, thoughtful introductions, but sometimes her excitement gets the best of her and she doesn’t always realize how intense her enthusiasm can be. With patience, structure, and continued guidance, she’s learning how to channel that energy into positive interactions.
Because Corra lives life at full speed, she’s best suited for a home without young children—she means well, but she has enough momentum to accidentally run them over. She thrives with clarity, consistency, and an active routine.
When it comes to love, Corra is clear about what she needs. Her ideal human is patient, active, and adventurous—maybe even a marathon runner—someone who wants a true partner for runs, outings, and everyday adventures. She’s not looking for a couch-potato romance; she’s looking for a teammate.
Corra wants growth, adventure, and a human who’s ready to build something strong with her—one walk, one cookie, and one rose at a time. 🌹🐾

Meet Bailey 🌹
Age: 10 months
Breed: Pittie mixBailey is a 10-month-old pittie mix with pure puppy joy, nonstop wiggles, and a heart that’s already all in. She’s affectionate, playful, and absolutely convinced that life is better when she’s included in everything—especially if treats are involved.
Her favorite things include toys of all kinds (with a special love for squeaky ones she can enthusiastically whack herself with), snuggling close to her humans, and soaking up attention like it’s her full-time job. Bailey loves playing with doggy friends, kids, ice cubes, and is always up for car rides and walks—anything that means more time together.
Bailey doesn’t just like love—she loves love. She wants to be part of family life in every way, from everyday moments to vacations and adventures. Whether it’s a road trip or a quiet night in, she’s happiest when she knows she belongs.
When it comes to her perfect match, Bailey is looking for a human or family who will dote on her, adore her wiggles, and treat her like the princess she already knows she is. She’d be thrilled to have a dog sibling to play with, but she’d also shine as the only dog—as long as her people are ready to give her all the affection she deserves.
Bailey isn’t here for halfway love. She’s here for full hearts, full laps, and a forever family who will choose her again and again. 🌹🐾

Meet Junie 🌹
Age: 10
Breed: Pit Bull mixJunie is a 10-year-old pit bull mix who clearly missed the memo about being a senior. Full of life, personality, and playful confidence, she brings joyful chaos in the best possible way—and has absolutely no plans of slowing down.
Toys are Junie’s passion. She’ll happily toss them in the air and catch them all by herself, and while no stuffie has ever survived her enthusiasm, every single one has gone out knowing it was deeply loved. Playtime is her cardio, her therapy, and her idea of a perfect date.
Affectionate and expressive, Junie wears her heart on her sleeve—and sometimes shows her love a little too enthusiastically. She’s a world-class cuddler, fully believes laps are for dogs, and is always ready to shower her favorite people with kisses (sometimes in generous quantities). When she loves you, she really loves you.
Junie does well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship, but cats are not part of her ideal guest list. She thrives in a home that appreciates her playful spirit, sets gentle boundaries, and embraces her affectionate, goofy personality.
This season, Junie isn’t pretending to be something she’s not. She’s bold, loving, endlessly entertaining, and looking for someone who will adore her just as she is—kisses, cuddles, and all. 🌹🐾

Meet Sophie 🌹
Age: 2
Breed: Pit BullSophie is a 2-year-old pit bull with a sun-loving soul, a soft heart, and a strong belief that life is best enjoyed when she’s included in everything. Give her a hot summer day, some snacks, and a comfy place to lay, and she’s officially living her best life.
Sophie knows what she likes—and what she doesn’t. Cold weather? Absolutely not. Being told to lay down on command? Only if she’s in the mood. She has a serious case of FOMO and doesn’t appreciate being left out, especially when her people are nearby and doing something without her.
Affectionate and easygoing, Sophie loves spending time with her humans, whether that means being active together or cuddling up on the couch. She does well with other dogs and cats after proper introductions and is great with kids—though fair warning, she will steal their food if given the chance.
When it comes to love, Sophie is looking for a young couple or family who enjoys staying active, spending quality time together, and balancing adventure with plenty of couch cuddles. She thrives on connection, routine, and being part of the action—no sidelines for this girl.
Sophie isn’t asking for much. Just sunshine, snacks, a warm couch, and a forever family who won’t leave her out of the story. 🌹🐾
