Selena
I’m the shelter’s resident goofball and I’m sure to put a smile on your face! I’m a 10-month-old ball of fun, with enough enthusiasm to rival a whole pack of puppies. I’ll greet you with an endless stream of tail wags, and I’m always ready for a game of fetch or tug-of-war. But don’t let my silly antics fool you – I’m also a total sweetheart. And if you need a break from the chaos of the world, I’ll gladly snuggle up on the couch for a good Netflix binge session. I might be young, but I’ve already got a heart of gold!
Size: 45 lb.
Energy level: High, but will settle
Kids: Ages 10+, I’m just a big puppy!
Dogs: Yes
Cats: No thanks!
Kingston
My face….do I need to say more?! I’m looking forward to some stability in my life since I’ve been bounced around a bit. I’m a love bug with any human and my leash skills are as great as my looks. I promise to snuggle you everyday, especially since hoodie and spooky season is right around the corner! Let’s watch scary movies together? Hurry up and come get me!
Size: 40 lb.
Energy level: Medium – a walk usually gets me to nap right after
Kids: Yes, please!
Dogs: Maybe with some training
Cats: Not tested
Caitlin
My nickname is Caitlin the Cannonball because I have two speeds – Go and Go Faster! I like playing with other dogs, but I play full speed ahead, so my style isn’t for every dog. If you are a high energy person looking to supercharge your life, I just might be your girl!
Size: 40 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Older
Dogs: With the right fit
Cats: Not tested
Mickey
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind – hey Mickey! Ever since I arrived at the shelter people keep singing that song, so I guess that means they think I’m cute! Before I came here I hadn’t been exposed to the outside world much, so I’ve had lots of new experiences recently, but the people here have been patient and I’m learning that all of these new things can be fun. I’d love to continue my journey with a patient family!

Dave
In foster
I was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with so many wounds all over my body. I’m understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but I’m so easily won over with a single treat and a nice little head scratch. If you want a dog who’s going to get stopped on every walk to hear how handsome he is, I’m your dude! A place to snuggle up with you is all I’m looking for – I’m an easy to please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a family of my own!
Size: 60 lb., but a little underweight
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires me out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!
Gnocchi
Fun is in the hands of whoever’s holding my leash! I’m a young goofball who’s just rainbows and butterflies and I haven’t met a stranger yet! I’m pretty active, so a friend who wants to have lots of fun with me would be awesome! Handsome, fun, and I have good indoor manners… what more could you be looking for?! Take a look at how well I’m doing in my foster home here!
Size: 50 lb., will likely grow a little more
Energy level: Medium, I like to do stuff but just hanging out after is my jam
Kids: Ages 10+, I don’t want to knock anyone over!
Dogs: Probably, let’s meet!
Cats: Not tested
Luna
Beauty, brains, and brawn – I’m the whole package! I’m a strong-willed girl who’d be happiest in a home that’s going to train my mind and body, then cuddle up on the couch afterwards. But I’m definitely not a couch potato and wake up ready for a new adventure — take a look at the fun field trip I had recently! Let’s do this together! By the way, if you also think squirrels are the worst, we’re already starting off on the right foot!
Size: 80 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!
Sonny
In foster
Hi! I am Sonny and I am the life of the party. I am up for anything you want to do any time! Long walks, tug of war, fetch. Yes, Yes and Yes! I know a few tricks and I’m eager to learn more. Life is an adventure and all I need is a co-pilot to go along with me for the ride. Is that you?
Size: 30 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Older
Dogs: With the right fit
Cats: Probably not
Ralphie
I may look like a big tough guy, but I’m soft as mush for the people I love! I’ve had a rough past including being on the run in the bitter cold winter last year but the team here is doing their best to find my perfect home. I’m a bit of a shy dude at first and it might take a visit or two to warm up to new people, but I’m trying really hard to be the best me I can be. Someone who has patience to help me learn is a must and in return you’ll get endless cuddles and zoomies that’ll make your day! I know I can make someone happy and I’m hoping it’s you!
Size: 55 lb. but a little chonky right now
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!
Gordy (aka Gordo)
Hi guys! I might look big and tough, but I’m a teddy bear at heart. I love meeting new people, going for walks, and eating peanut butter. People tell me I’m the sweetest dog they’ve ever met… I think it’s because I like snuggling and want to be petted by everyone I meet (especially the NU Soccer team!). I’m a good fit for any family because I can sleep for hours or go on all-day adventures. I’ll always be happy to see you when you come home, and I can’t wait to find my forever home.
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Very relaxed
Kids: Ages 8+ (I’m a gentle giant but strong!)
Dogs: With the right introduction
Cats: Not tested
Rotini
In foster
I was dumped by my owner across the street from the shelter without any care, but thankfully I wasn’t out long before the animal control officer found me. Not only am I super handsome, my loving and cuddly demeanor will make you fall in love super quick. I’m with a foster family now, but I’m still looking for my forever home!
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: High, but I settle down
Kids: Ages 10+
Dogs: Not for me!
