Story
HudsonHound mix6 years old40 poundsI came to the shelter because I was originally found as a stray, but the finders could no longer care for me.I love to be outside and that is where I am most comfortable. The floors in the shelter do tent to scare me due to the slick nature.I do love to go on walks and sniff the whole time. I use my nose just like hound dogs do.At this point, he tends to be bossy with other dogs, but after just getting neutered, we are hoping this will change. Will update any changes when we know.

ShelbyShepherd Mix4 years old42 poundsI was brought to the shelter as a stray dog. I`ve been someone`s pet, because you can see that I had a collar at one time.I already know sit, and I shake with both paws! I have quite a bit of energy and love to play with other energetic dogs.Once I burn some energy, I love to settle in for a nice soothing belly rub.Currently I don`t show much interest in toys, but that may change.Come and meet this spirited dog!
