Sarge

  • Age: 4-5 years old
  • Tall, handsome, muscular✅
  • Loves long walks & playing ✅
  • Needs a proper introduction with both cats and dogs⚠️

About me:

Description: Hey there, potential paw-tner! I’m Sarge, a big-hearted pooch with a lot of love to give. I thrive on playtime in the great outdoors and live for leisurely strolls, but beware, I’ve got some serious muscle power, so you’ll need to be able to handle my strength when we go for walks. Leash training is on my to-do list, and I’m hoping to get started on that soon.

Compatibility: I’m a social butterfly, but it might take a few sessions to warm up to new friends. Once I trust you, though, you’ll find yourself head over paws for me. I’ll need proper introductions with both cats and dogs, to help ensure we become the best of pals!

Background: My journey hasn’t been easy—I came to the shelter in rough shape, starving, and in need of some TLC. But thanks to the amazing shelter staff, I’m back in tip-top shape and ready to bring boundless energy and affection into your life. Let’s fetch some fun together! 🐾❤️

Murphy

  • Age: 1-2 years old
  • Loves to play ✅✅
  • Slobbery kisses✅
  • Needs a proper introduction with both cats and dogs⚠️

About me:

Description: Hey there, I’m Murphy! A big, strong fella with a heart of gold. I’m all about playing ball and soaking up those back scratches – they’re my weakness! Patience is key with leash training, but I’m eager to learn and make you proud.

Compatibility: While I’m a playful pup, I’ll need some time to warm up to other furry friends. Proper introductions with both dogs and cats will help us all become one big, happy family!

Background: Keeping my kennel clean is my specialty – I take pride in my space! Spending time with me is a blast; we’ll chase balls, take breaks for scratches and kisses, and then dive right back into playtime. Ready to join me for some fun-filled adventures? Let’s make it happen! 🐾💕
