Here are the dogs we are featuring this week:
MEET LEGACY

This big beautiful boy is still a big goofy puppy!
The 8-month-old shepherd mix is Mr. Congeniality and he’s hoping to land in the lap of a loving family.
He was brought to the shelter after his owner died.
Legacy is smart and working on his sit and other manners and will sit tight for ear rubs and head scratches!
He’s looking for an active and affectionate family who will likes to play hard and nap hard. A family who can take in this gentle pup and help him grow into the confident, kind-hearted dog he was always meant to be!

Meet Diesel!
This big guy is all about busting stereotypes.
He may look big and tough but he’s really a big teddy bear.
Diesel is into hugs and kisses and is not shy about making new friends.
He is what they call treat-motivated. Diesel came in as a stray, but clearly has manners. He’ll sit and wait patiently for treats or on a walk he’ll pause and look up to remind you that anytime is a good time for a snack!
Diesel is ready to find a family of his own where he can settle in, feel safe and start to really shine.
You can meet Diesel at Smooches with Pooches this weekend at the shelter. He definitely has plenty of doggie kisses to share!
MEET TRUE

Meet True!
This shepherd mix is looking for a true companion who is patient and kind.
True is very cautious and it will take some time for her to untuck her tail and relax, but when she does, True is a lap dog in the making!
She enjoys peace and quiet and soft, sweet talk.
True likes staying close, and leaning in and like the poem says don’t walk in front of me, don’t walk behind me, just walk beside me and be my friend.
You can meet True at Smooches with Pooches at the shelter this weekend. If she’s your perfect plus one – you can adopt her for free on Valentines Day!
MEET ROSIE 
Rosie is looking for a fresh start and a family who loves the great outdoors!(WCTV)
Meet Rosie!
This sweet girl was adopted from the shelter as a puppy and unfortunately she’s back.
She loved life on the farm, but just could not leave the chickens and ducks alone.
Rosie is looking for a new start, a family who loves the great outdoors and has a big backyard where she can romp and run!
Rosie likes kids … after all she’s just a kid herself! She is playful and friendly and is hoping her next family is the perfect fit!
You can meet Rosie at “Smooches with Pooches” at the shelter this weekend and adopt her for free on Valentines Day!
