If you’re looking for a dog who’s always up for an adventure, Archer is your guy! 💙

At 2 years old, Archer is a sweet, goofy boy with a big heart. Shelter life gets him excited, but once he’s out on a walk, he settles into a wonderful companion. He’s eager to please, knows sit and down, is potty trained, takes treats gently, and loves to learn.

Archer is a playgroup regular who does well with other dogs and would love an active home with another playful pup. Because of his energy, he’d do best with kids over 10 and a family ready for hikes, playtime, and making memories together.

If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will keep you smiling, come meet Archer today! 🐶❤️

❤️ Ruthie is your big‑hearted best friend ❤️ She is a 2½‑year‑old, 75‑lb Saint Bernard mix with a gift for giving the world’s biggest, most heartfelt hugs. Fostered by Astoria Dispatch, she’s finally learning what love feels like and she’s blooming because of it. This sweet girl adores people. Truly. There isn’t a person she doesn’t greet with warmth, curiosity, and that signature Ruthie smile. She knows sit, shake, and lie down, and she’s wonderfully gentle with kids; she lights up the moment they walk in.

Ruthie will likely shine brightest as someone’s one‑and‑only, but depending on the other pet, she might be able to share the spotlight. A meet‑and‑greet is the perfect way to see how the chemistry feels. Full of personality, affection, and goofy charm, Ruthie is one of those dogs who makes you feel like life just got better.

Why would we feature her again? Because she is still patiently waiting to meet her very own family. She’s blossomed in a loving foster home and is more than ready to find her very own space. Someone deserves to know the joy of having DeeDee fall asleep on their lap after tiring herself out chasing a moth. Or to walk into a room and see her happily looking out a window. DeeDee is a true gem who is looking for a gentle home filled with love. In return, she’ll fill that home with even more love and joy. DeeDee would do best in a calm home and as the only feline friend. She has been friendly with small dogs in a former foster home, but will want to be given time and space to adjust to her new family. Call the shelter to set up an appointment to meet her in her foster home if she sounds like she might be the match you’ve been waiting for!

Punkin is a 3-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix that has a heart full of love, and the sweetest full-body wiggles when she’s excited. Punkin loves walks, squeaky toys, and snuggling on the couch with her favorite people. She walks nicely on a leash, is very smart, and truly wants to please.

She’s the kind of dog who thrives on companionship and would love a home where someone is around more often than not. Punkin can be selective about her dog friends, but she may do well with a confident canine companion.

Meet Leopold! This handsome 6-year-old bully mix is a sweet boy looking for a home of his own. Leopold is learning loose-leash walking and will do best with someone who can confidently manage his strength and stay consistent with his training. 

Leopold has been in playgroups with other dogs and has done well with the right dog friends. He’s a big personality with a lot of enthusiasm and can be a bit much for some dogs, so any potential canine companions should be a good match for his play style. He’s still polishing up his manners, but he’s got plenty of potential with the right guidance.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are ready to help him continue building his skills, Leopold would love to meet you!
