Princess

Princess is an 8-year-old female German Shepherd who was found as a stray and brought to the shelter. She came in with a microchip and collar, and has an owner known currently. So far, there has been no luck in contacting her owners, and because she was so clearly nervous at the shelter, Rocky sat with her in a separate video to garner attention for her.

Now, Rocky checks up on her to see if she’s improved, and sees that she is outside in the stray yard of the shelter for some outside time. Unfortunately, he finds she is still extremely nervous, but has hope she will find a new home soon if her owners do not come in, as her previous feature has gained lots of attention.

KOBY (PREV. BUCKY) & BUDDY – ADOPTED

*Buddy is the whiter dog that is more brave, Bucky is the browner dog that is in RK’s arms and shy/back of nnel for start of sit down piece.ke

Bucky (2-year-old male) & Buddy (5-year-old male) were dumped in night drop along with 3 other dogs. The names of the dogs were left behind as well as a phone number, however when the shelter tried to contact the number, it was out of service. Buddy is thought to potentially be the father to Bucky, and it’s suspected the dogs were all dropped off by the owner/same home.

Buddy is braver, willing to come up to the front of the kennel, but Bucky is shy and a bit more reserved. Rocky sits in with them to provide them comfort and to let them know it’ll be okay. Both dogs are now adoption available at the shelter after no contact was made with an owner nor their mysterious “finder” who left them in night drop.

ROOFO – HOLDING (HAS ONE ADOPTION HOLD)

Roofo the 6-year-old Poodle mix came into the shelter as an Animal Control pick up, as he was found running loose. With a microchip, he’s an owner known! But there’s a lot more than meets the eye to his story…

Roofo came into the shelter for the first time back in 2020 when he was found by a good samaritan running around the airport. When he was brought in the first time, Mel had groomed him due to a matted coat before he was returned to his owner.

Now, in 2023, Roofo is back, and is even worse than ever before. Unsure of whether his owner will come back for him again and questioning his condition, Rocky sits in with him to provide him comfort. Then, begs for Mel the Shelter Groomer to help him as soon as possible. Roofo’s groom is so tedious, with a coat that behaves strangely (perhaps due to a past complete shavedown, Mel suspects), it takes her four hours to complete. Talk about a transformation!

**HONEY (PREV. CARLY*) – ADOPTED**

Carly* is a 4.5-yr-old Jack Russell mix that is extremely nervous at the shelter. Not much is known about her, except that she was found by a good samaritan, and has clearly been through some tough times based on her frozen demeanor.

Now, Carly has a meeting with Nicole and Shannon, and after a successful meeting and a cat test passed, Carly is adopted!

Carly has been renamed to Honey now, and she is doing fantastic according to Nicole. She allows herself to be taken into arms now, follows Nicole around constantly, explores, and even gets along with the cat just fine at home! She is building confidence day by day.

Honey even has a paw trick that she does with Nicole, and it all goes to show a home with love and patience can mean the world to a shut down dog like her.
