3. Pongo
Meet Pongo! This handsome, 52-pound pit bull mix is about a year and a half old and has two favorite things: playtime and his people. He’s a sweet, friendly boy with plenty of playful energy who would do wonderfully in a home with another dog who enjoys a good romp.
When he’s ready for a break, Pongo is happy to trade playtime for some quality couch time with you. He loves being around his people and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys a mix of activity and lounging.
Read more about Pongo
He has been around cats, but his enthusiasm for making friends means he sometimes wants to include them in playtime, too. Any feline housemates would need thoughtful introductions and their own space.
Pongo is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. If your dog is looking for a playful buddy and you’re looking for a loving new family member, Pongo just might be your guy!

4. Roxy
Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!
But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!
She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.
✨ A few things to love about her:
Potty trained
Crate trained
Read more about Roxy
Dog friendly
Cat friendly
Very sweet and gentle
Starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs
She will need a patient, loving home that understands she may take a little time to feel comfortable. She isn’t the dog who will run up and greet everyone right away. She’s the girl who needs someone to earn her trust, give her reassurance, and let her blossom at her own pace.
But imagine being the person who finally shows her that she’s safe, loved, and HOME. ❤️
Roxy just needs someone willing to give her that chance.
Could you be her happily ever after?
Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application. Adoption fee of $295 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures. Applications without a phone number will not be processed.

HI, I’M HAYES. I’M JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE AN OLD MAN A HOME.
I’m around 9–10 years old, and life hasn’t exactly been easy. I’m skinny, I only have one eye, and I’m spending my days in a kennel. But despite everything, I’m still one of the sweetest, gentlest old guys you could ever meet. ❤️
I’m calm, quiet & incredibly unbothered
I like to take life at a slow, easy pace
I’m very friendly with everyone I meet
I’m potty trained!

I’d love to be your one-and-only — a quiet home where I can soak up all the love and attention

I’m not asking for much. I don’t need a busy life or endless adventures. Honestly, I’d be pretty happy with a soft bed, some good meals, a little love, and someone who wants me around.
I just want a place where I can feel safe and loved for whatever golden years I have left.
Please don’t let me spend the rest of my life in a kennel. I’ve waited long enough for someone to choose me.
❤️ Could you be my person?

Golda is a sweet, gentle girl who is potty trained, walks well on a leash, and has a calm, loving personality. She loves spending time with her people and will make a wonderful companion.

Adopting a dog in Combine
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
