1. Tiger
#A5536505
Meet
Tiger
, a 7-year-old Pitbull boy who absolutely lives up to his name with a striking brindle coat patterned in soft, muted stripes of cream and light brown! This big, gorgeous chonky meatball doesn't always show his best side in his kennel, where he can be a bit barrier-reactive, but once he's out, it's like meeting a whole new dog. Tiger has been wonderful with both people and other pups, and he's done fabulously in playgroup with his fellow four-legged friends! He has a fun, rough-and-tumble play style and a perfectly balanced medium energy level, so he'd do best with similar-sized dogs who enjoy the same kind of play. More than anything, this handsome boy is a big softie who eagerly seeks out pets and snuggles, with a loose, wiggly booty that lets you know just how happy he is to be loved. Come meet Tiger and discover the sweet, affectionate gentleman waiting outside that kennel!

5. Jackie
A57804261
Meet
Jackie
, an 8-year-old German Shepherd grandma who deserves to spend her golden years finally knowing what it feels like to be cherished! ❤️ This sweet, lovely lady has clearly had a hard life - she has fly-strike damage on her ears from spending too much time outside, signs of having been repeatedly bred, and some age-related lumps and bumps that haven't received the care they deserve. Jackie can be vocal and reactive when people or other dogs pass her kennel, which may be a reflection of the outdoor guard-dog role she was expected to fill, and she does seem a bit undersocialized with other pups. However, she

His silky-soft, short-for-a-Shepherd coat comes in rich shades of black and cream with just a hint of cinnamon, and he has the most perfect pair of tiny eyebrows that tell you exactly how he's feeling.

17. Kane
#A5805504
Meet
Kane
, a 5-year-old Pit Bull gentleman with a gorgeous slate-grey coat, accented by little hints of white on his chest and tippy toes! This sweet boy may not be feeling his best these days - he has arthritis in his hips and front right leg, so his new family will need to follow up with an outside veterinarian after adoption to help him get the care he deserves. But don't let his aches and pains overshadow the enormous amount of love this boy has to give - he's an absolute sweetheart who is eager to share it with everyone! Kane is wonderful with people and has also been calm and curious when meeting other dogs through the fence at the shelter. Sadly surrendered because his owner no longer wanted the responsibility of a pet, Kane also shows signs that he hasn't always received the care he needed. This good boy deserves a soft place to land, a family who will put his well-being first, and all the love he's been waiting for. Will that be with you?

#A5804871 Perla
is a beautiful young Pittie with a soft blue coat and an even softer heart. At just over a year and a half old, this precious girl is incredibly sweet and affectionate, but the busy shelter environment has left her feeling a little overwhelmed. During playgroup, Perla stayed close to her handlers, quietly seeking affection and reassurance while peacefully sharing space with other calm dogs. She's a gentle, low-energy sweetheart who could use a little extra nourishment, pampering, and, most importantly, someone to make her feel safe and loved. Perla is ready for a home where she can finally relax and let her sweet personality shine.

24. Oscar
Meet Oscar: a 5-year-old, 22-pound sweetheart with a big, happy smile and an even bigger personality.
When Oscar first came into foster care, he was the dog watching quietly from the corner, unsure whether people could be trusted. Four months later, he’s blossoming. He’s discovered a love of toys, so much so that he gathers all his favorites into one big pile. He plays fetch with enthusiasm and has a blast romping with other small dogs at the dog park. He’s even starting to enjoy walks, though he’s still getting the hang of them. And when it’s time to rest, you’ll find him burrowed deep in a blanket for a cozy nap.
Oscar is a one-person kind of dog.
Read more about Oscar
That’s not because he’s unfriendly, as he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, but because he looks to one special person for guidance and affection. Right now that’s his foster mom, who gets all the belly-rub requests. He’s shy with new people and probably won’t show his true self at a first meeting, but the way to his heart is simple: bring treats! He’ll happily take them from new friends, and he’s so food motivated that he’s a joy to train. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate companion for life.
At heart, Oscar is a homebody. He’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with a yard, ideally with a friendly small dog who can keep showing him the ropes. He’s fully potty trained with zero accidents in the house, sleeps quietly in his dog bed in the bedroom, rarely barks, and is very healthy. He doesn’t guard his food or toys. Car rides make him a little nervous, but he does great once he arrives. He hasn’t lived with cats, but his foster thinks he’d likely do fine with them.
If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a smile that will melt your heart, Oscar is ready to meet you.

Meet Tancho, an adorable 6-year-old Pug with a tender heart, an affectionate personality, and just a little bit of attitude that makes him uniquely lovable!
Tancho is a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy who enjoys companionship and has so much love to share with his future family. At six years old, he's a mature adult who is ready to enjoy the comforts of a forever home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and cherished.
One of the wonderful things about Tancho is that he has experience living with other dogs, cats, and children. This makes him a promising companion for a variety of households, provided his individual needs and boundaries are respected.
However, Tancho also has a spirited side! While he can live with other dogs, he can occasionally become feisty or confrontational toward larger breeds. His future family should understand this behavior and be prepared to manage interactions carefully.
This doesn't take away from his loving personality. It simply means Tancho needs a family who will recognize his boundaries, supervise introductions, and help him feel comfortable around other dogs.
About the Pug Breed
Pugs are known for their affectionate personalities, charming expressions, loyalty, playful nature, and strong attachment to their families.
Originally bred as companion dogs, Pugs often enjoy spending time close to their people and being included in everyday family activities.
Tancho may share several typical breed characteristics:
Affectionate and devoted: Pugs often form strong bonds with their families and enjoy regular attention.
Friendly and social: Many enjoy interacting with people and participating in household activities.
Playful and entertaining: Pugs are known for their amusing personalities and individual quirks.
Adaptable: They can thrive in apartments or houses when their needs are met.
Occasionally stubborn: Some Pugs have independent personalities and benefit from patient, consistent training.
Moderate exercise needs: Short walks and gentle playtime are generally more appropriate than strenuous activity.
Sensitive to heat: Their shortened muzzles make them especially vulnerable to overheating.
Tancho's combination of affection, maturity, and spirited personality makes him a special little companion.
His ideal family will appreciate his loving nature while understanding that he may need additional guidance and supervision around larger dogs.
Tancho has a gentle heart, a loving spirit, and just enough sass to keep life interesting!
Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
At six years old, Tancho is a mature adult who will benefit from a predictable routine, positive reinforcement training, and a peaceful home environment.
Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization.
Although Tancho is described as affectionate and loving, his occasional confrontational behavior toward larger dogs is an important consideration for his future family.
Living With Other Dogs
Tancho has experience living with other dogs, but he can sometimes become bravucón—feisty, challenging, or confrontational—when interacting with larger breeds.
This behavior does not necessarily mean he cannot live with another dog. However, it does mean his future family should take int

Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
