Meet Bando
If your ideal day includes sunshine, sneakers, and a furry companion trotting by your side, Bando might just be your perfect match. At just over 1.5 years old, this big, goofy pup is equal parts energy, affection, and brainpower. Bando isn’t just playful, he’s smart. Too smart for his own good, in fact.
He picks up new tasks with lightning speed, always eager to learn, solve, and explore. But in the shelter, where stimulation is limited, this clever boy sometimes gets frustrated. Bando is a thinker and a doer, and he needs a home that gives him the space to shine.
He thrives on activity: hiking through the woods, riding shotgun as you run errands or sprinting through the backyard with his all-time favorite game of keep-away. (Retriever genes? Not exactly—Bando has his own playbook.)
Yet after all the action, he’s quick to switch gears into cuddle mode. His kisses are as big as his heart, and his tail wags could power a small city.
Bando would do best as the only pet in an active household, with people who appreciate his smarts, his energy, and his big ol’ lovable self. If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick who’ll keep you laughing and thinking, Bando is ready too!

Meet Bluey
Bluey is a 2-year-old Siamese mix with striking eyes, a gentle spirit, and a heart full of quiet love. From her cozy corner, she takes in the world with curiosity, carefully exploring and thoughtfully observing before deciding you’re worthy of her affection (don’t worry, you probably are). But give her a little patience and a gentle voice, and you’ll watch something truly special happen. Once Bluey decides you’re her person, her loyalty runs deep. She bonds closely, loves fully, and will be your steady, soulful companion.
Now, let’s talk about her one tiny quirk — Bluey may or may not be allergic to… well… almost everything. Dust? Maybe. Certain foods? Possibly. The concept of chaos? Definitely. Think of her as a delicate flower with excellent taste. She’ll thrive in a calm, loving home that understands her need for a little extra TLC to keep her feeling her best.
Bluey isn’t just looking for a home, she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees past a little shyness, appreciates a refined (and slightly sensitive) queen, and understands that the best relationships are built on trust. If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick with elegance, depth, and just a dash of diva energy, Bluey is ready to quietly steal your heart.
