CESAR

Male, terrier mix, 1 year old and 14 pounds

Cesar is a fluffy little heart-stealer with a goofy streak and a whole lot of love to give. This sweet boy came to us as a stray, so his past is mostly a mystery, but his happy, friendly personality tells us his future is going to be bright. Cesar seems to adore just about everyone he meets and brings a soft, wiggly joy wherever he goes. He’s especially fond of toys and will happily entertain himself (and you) with his playful antics. Whether he’s tossing a toy in the air or zooming around with it like he just won the lottery, he’s guaranteed to make you laugh.

He may be able to live with another dog, but as with all potential siblings, a proper meet-and-greet will help make sure it’s a good match. His fabulous fluff does come with a little responsibility. His new family will need to stay on top of regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, cuddly companion with a playful spirit and a face you’ll want to kiss a hundred times a day, Cesar might just be your guy!

SKETCH

Male, heeler, 1 year old and 30 pounds

Sketch is a 1-year-old blue heeler with classic cattle dog brains, energy, and personality. True to his breed, he’s smart, alert, and always paying attention to what’s going on around him. Sketch came into the shelter unsure about people, but with patience and consistent handling from staff, he’s made huge progress. He’s learning that humans can be safe and kind, and it’s been so rewarding to watch his confidence grow. That said, Sketch will need a patient, experienced owner who understands herding breeds and is committed to continuing his training and socialization.

Because he’s still building trust and can be sensitive, Sketch is looking for an adult-only home where he can feel secure and not overwhelmed. As for other dogs, Sketch tested well with a female dog and previously came in with one, so he may enjoy a canine companion. However, any potential doggy housemates should do a proper meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match.

Sketch is an active, working-breed dog who will need lots of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structure. Hikes, training sessions, puzzle toys, agility, or even a job to do would make his heart very happy. A bored heeler is a creative heeler, and not always in ways you’ll appreciate 😄 His past before the shelter is mostly a mystery, but his future is bright with the right person. If you’re breed-savvy, patient, and ready to help a smart young dog continue to blossom, Sketch might just be your perfect partner.

GASTON

Male, Engish Bulldog, 11 months old and 45 pounds

This young English Bulldog may be low to the ground, but his personality is larger than life. Gaston believes every human he meets is a long-lost best friend, and he greets the world with a wiggly body, happy snorts, and a face you simply cannot say no to. He absolutely loves people and thrives on attention. Belly rubs, ear scratches, dramatic compliments about how handsome he is, Gaston accepts all forms of admiration.

When it comes to canine friends, Gaston does best with other large dogs who enjoy his playful, bouncy style. He’s a big fan of goofy wrestling matches and zooming around like he forgot he’s built like a bowling ball with legs. Toys are his true passion. Squeaky toys, chew toys, toss toys.... if it exists, Gaston wants to parade it around proudly before launching into play mode.

Gaston does have a strong prey drive, so he’ll need a home without small animals. Cats, small dogs, and pocket-sized critters tend to trigger his instinct to chase. He’s not being mean, he just thinks it’s an Olympic sport he was born to win. Gaston would thrive in a home that enjoys laughter, doesn’t mind a little drool, and is ready for a loyal, loving sidekick with endless charm. If you want a sturdy cuddle buddy, professional clown, and full-time best friend, Gaston is ready to move in and steal your heart.
