Vinnie

Hi… my name is Vinnie,

Adopted 4-24-19

I’ve come to believe that sometimes even the broken road takes you where you need to go. I was adopted but then my person went back to school, then someone moved and someone else took me, but I didn’t get along with her dogs (I arrived with some minor wounds from that), and so I’m here. Yes, all this has made me a little shy and wary, but you probably know what I’m hoping for—that someone will see my potential. Someone will know that what I need is a little guidance, some kindness, and lots of love. I’m a strong guy (so you should be, too), who’s eager to learn how to trust again and how to please, and my greatest strength is my heart. Will you let me give it to you?

Fiesta

Hi… my name is Fiesta,

Adopted 12-89-18

Before coming here, I was one of fifteen dogs all living together in the same place! Different breeds, genders, ages—mainly small to medium small—and we all got along. Still do! We’re a sweet, loving bunch. But when our people moved and couldn’t take everyone with them, most of us came here—some of us shy, others very friendly, and each one hoping for the same thing: A new, comfy, loving home. We’re already experiencing new things; leashes and doggie doors were unknown to us, and we’ve not been around small children. I’m a 2-year-old gray and white Staffie mix female, 49 pounds, sometimes full of vim and vigor, and always happy to be with friends. Lively and fun, I have a quiet dream of being loved by you just for being me.

Lucy

Hi… my name is Lucy,

Adopted by The Humane Society 11-25-18

We could say my story started the day I was rescued from the road—running alone, without a safe place to go. My finder said I was friendly and loved her dogs on the one day we spent together. Here, I was shy and trembling at first, but liked the people right away; they stroked my soft coat, told me I’m an adorable dog who someone will love real soon. I was too thin back then (now up to 34 pounds), and not a picky eater—daily meals are a great habit! I’ve learned a couple of commands—sit, come—and because I truly want to be a people-pleaser, I’ll learn more. One thing I know already: I want to go to that place where love lives, and I think that’s home with you.

Belle

Hi… my name is Belle,

Adopted 11-19-18

When people compliment me for being an exceptionally sweet, good-natured dog, I appreciate their kindness all the more because I’ve known rough times—one in particular. On that day, a young puppy mixed with some older dogs, then something happened and suddenly there was trouble—serious trouble for the puppy. I stepped in to help him and we both ended up in the hospital. The pup recovered fully and soon was adopted, and my wounds healed, too—you may notice a few scars, but friends tell me heroes often have scars. Now, I’m living in a foster home, hoping every day that someone wonderful will choose me as their dog, and together we’ll share a happy, carefree life. If that’s you—if you’ll let me be your sweet dog—you’ll be my hero forever!

Mercedes

Hi… my name is Mercedes,

Adopted 8-2-19

Foster Dad calls me The Perfect Dog… with one exception: I chase the cats. Other than that, I’m your girl for all occasions! Housetrained, good in the house when people are gone, quiet and calm, I’m affectionate, always interested in you, and sometimes comical (I go to bed when told to, but once Foster Folks are quiet, I’ll try to sneak back to where they are… like they don’t notice the blonde dog at their feet). My past is unknown—I was lost, and although I’m leash trained, if other dogs bark at me, I often speed up, so maybe there was trouble once. But today, I’m a happy dog. Good on walks and know commands, I’m treat motivated, and, most especially, very love motivated. Let me into your heart and I’ll love you back forever!

Mader

Hi… my name is Mader,

Adopted 10-14-18

Mader has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—two other dogs and I were found near the interstate. When we arrived here, being together gave each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people, and that’s sure been worth it. My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! I’m a Lab/Staffie mix male, mainly black with touches of white, and about 57 pounds. As a 1-year-old, I’m looking forward to lots of fun, happy times, and I bet you can teach me how to be the best dog I can be. Here’s hoping we can start real soon, because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Nala

Hi… my name is Nala,

Adopted 5-24-18

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us— a male dog, another female and I were found near the interstate. Being together here has been helpful, too, because although I’m calm and sweet natured, I was timid around people at first and did the get-acquainted dance—two steps forward and one step back. It sure was worth it! My new friends stroke my short tan coat, and they’re showing me that people can be as much fun as dogs! A nice size at 49 pounds, I’m a 1-year-old female who’s still learning, and you’ll hear my unusual bark when we meet, which I hope is real soon because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.

Foxy

Hi… my name is Foxy,

Adopted by The Humane Society 11-25-18

When I was lost, I had one big advantage: I wasn’t alone. There were three of us—a male dog, another female and I were found near the interstate. Now, being together here has been helpful, too, because it’s given each of us the added confidence needed to meet new people. Happily, I’ve been the friendliest of our little trio and it’s sure been worth it! My new friends have shown me that people can be as much fun as dogs! A nice size at 47 pounds, I’m a 2-year-old Lab/Staffie mix female, black with touches of white, a couple of almost-hidden scars from the past, and, best of all, an eagerness to get to know you because I’ve learned that being with someone makes every journey better, especially the one that takes us home.
