🐾 PART 3 — DANTE 🐾
And to wrap up today’s 3-part series, we have Dante! ❤️
This handsome 5-year-old neutered boy is a playful guy who knows exactly how to have a good time!
Give Dante a toy and he’s ready to play! 🧸 He especially loves a good game of tug with his people, so if you’re looking for a pup who will happily join in on playtime, Dante is your guy!
He also has a serious love for water. 💦 Put him near a kiddy pool and he’ll be more than happy to splash, play, and enjoy himself!
Dante is a social guy and does well with other dogs! 🐾❤️ He just thinks his toys are very special and would prefer to keep his favorites all to himself. 😂🧸 If you have a furry friend at home, we’d love to have them come meet Dante so they can get to know each other and see if they’re the perfect match! 🐾💕
He’s got a fun personality, a love for playtime, and plenty of cuddles to share with his humans. After spending plenty of time waiting for his family, Dante is ready for his permanent home—a place where he can settle in, be loved, play some tug, and enjoy all the things that make him happy. 🏡💙
🎉 And that officially wraps up today’s series! We hope you enjoyed meeting our three featured pups today. If Dante—or one of the other pups—caught your eye, stop by the shelter and come say hello! 🐾

🐾 PART 2: Meet ROWDY! 🐾
There’s a reason this handsome boy got the name Rowdy… because he is! 😂💙
Rowdy is around 2½ years old and is a fun-loving boy who absolutely LOVES his toys! 🧸🎾
He’s always ready for some playtime and would love a family who will enjoy keeping him entertained and included in the fun.
He’s also very vocal and has plenty to say! 😂 But when it comes to his people, Rowdy is a total sweetheart. He is very friendly with people and loves getting attention.
Rowdy is neutered, and because he has so much personality, he will need a meet & greet with any other dogs in the home to make sure everyone is a good match. 🐶
If you’re looking for a goofy, playful, affectionate guy with a BIG personality, Rowdy may be your boy! 🐾💙
Come meet him and see for yourself!
Part 2 of 3 — stay tuned for Part 3! 👀

👑 PART 1 OF 3 — Meet Peaches! 👑
Peaches is around 5 years old, and this girl is a little boss lady with a whole lot of love to give! 😂💕 She’s independent, a little prissy, and definitely gives off “I’m a dainty princess, please treat me accordingly” energy. 💅🏼👑
But underneath that sassy little personality is a very sweet and loving girl who absolutely adores her people. 🥰 Peaches would prefer to be the only dog so she can have all the attention to herself, but she does okay around other dogs.
She LOVES her toys, especially her stuffies! 🧸💕 And if you really want to make her day, just give this princess some good old-fashioned b***y scratches! 😂🍑
Peaches is spayed and ready to find her forever family! 🏡💗 She may know what she wants, but she also knows how to love big. Come meet this sweet, sassy, prissy little princess and see if Peaches could be your girl! 🐾
Stay tuned for Part 2 of our 3-part series! 👀
